Moving from Dubai
Hi,
I am a 29 year old single girl in private banking industry in Dubai. I am close to converting a private banking offer in Cayman Islands.
My concerns are:
1. I assume CI is sought after finance market but going from Dubai, is it worth that?
2. Single life in Dubai is fairly happening, how will the life and options be for a single girl in Cayman
3. My salary should be base of USD 150k, is that a good salary?
I have lived in Dubai for a year now and am open to experience new places and cultures, I just hope I make an informed decision!

Re: Moving from Dubai
1. I don't understand what you are asking. Career progression?
2. Life is good for single people - lots of sport activities and parties.
3. Depends on your lifestyle, what sort of place you want to live, what car etc. But if you say your average living expenses may amount to $3-4K a month then you'd have disposable income to travel and make the most of the island.

Re: Moving from Dubai
sg. You don't give us much to go on. Have you visited any Cayman Islands forums or read any expat blogs about the place? Cayman and Dubai would be chalk and cheese, I would think, so accepting a job offer here without visiting first is risky. But then I guess that going to Dubai in the first place - without visiting - must have been risky too. What's your motive for moving? What do you want to know?
