    Yes, hence the reason I can afford to retire at 50. (Though in actual fact Im only retiring from IT, other interests will keep me more than busy).

    Ok it looks more like a data analysis role but 10-13 and hoping to get pharma knowledge also!
    ISTM that a good 10 or a dozen Nice-To-Haves are now seen as free, given that every job gets so many applicants that some of them will also have whatever else you might think of.

    I'm sure the agencies go back to the clients to get more keywords to cut down the candidate lists, so they get anything the client can think of, and then demand it. As for helping to find the best candidate, it's about as useful as specifying that you must have a left-handed red-haired Lithuanian.

    Sounds like a pain to me. Not to mention the paperwork involved with insurance, utility bills, taxes, etc with having homes to manage in several countries.
