I have friend that did a five year stint there (working in the corporate legal world).Originally posted by Freamon View PostI think it sounds better than it is.

She loved it and was far better off financially than she is now (in NZ) but there was a limit to how long she could put up with the small island mentality so the time came when she felt it necessary to move on.

Bank I work for has a branch in Cayman.
