Fine if you're single with low rent. If you have a family and a mortgage I can't see how this is an option.

People in this kind of career easily make twice the country's average. If most people can live on that average, then you can bear a 20% salary reduction.

My wife's parents raised 3 kids and paid a mortgage on two part-time salaries. Europe: it's where it's at for work-life balance.

Then I guess the UK never belonged in Europe after all.
