Just out of curiosity, Mike.

What other benefits are provided besides the salary? Accommodation, international schooling for the kids, etc.

How about personal income tax? Some of these countries have pretty high rates of taxation.

I would not expect this income to be treated any differently than other jobs. So it would depend on your nationality and any tax agreements between your countries etc....

But I am only guesing Smile
