    Employment rights in the Cayman Islands aren't that great, from what I gather.

    Plus you'll spend a fair bit of that salary on travel and living expenses.
    I have friend that did a five year stint there (working in the corporate legal world).

    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.

    So far they have been unresponsive to offers of supplying services from there....
