British job seekers who might be considering a move to London to benefit from high salaries are being encouraged to try The Cayman Islands.

Research by allthetopbananas.com has shown that London salaries are £11,000 higher than the average in the rest of the UK.

But Cayman can top that, according to CML Offshore Recruitment.

Flexible working conditions on the Cayman Islands are helping the offshore jurisdiction to gain an advantage in the competitive global market to attract the world’s best professionals.

Cayman has traditionally relied upon its golden beaches and tropical climate to attract the highly-qualified professionals that its finance industry demands.

Increasing numbers of key professionals are deserting the UK – to escape the dismal climate.

I am now one week into my life on Grand Cayman - a full on week at that!

It was definitely good timing that I arrived just before the Easter break as it has given me a chance to settle in. I have been staying with a long-term resident of the island and it has been very helpful in terms of getting to know the place.

I have been busy sorting things out and organising my new life. So far I have arranged a driver's license (be prepared to spend 1 - 2 hours at least doing this), found accommodation and I am now looking for a car. I've realised that a car is essential - I had hoped that I could get by with buses etc but it's not a practical alternative to a car, especially when the rain comes!

This is the blog of my move from Whangarei in New Zealand to a new job as an accountant in The Cayman Islands.

I'm now settling in to the way of life here.  I have joined a softball team - I hadn't played for about 15-20 years and it showed. The other teams have benefitted greatly from my erratic fielding style!

There are softball diamonds at the "Field of Dreams" in South Sound with a number of social leagues, as well as some more serious teams.  There is a very wide range of sports to get involved with here, including rugby, football, cricket, gaelic football, squash, tennis and even a bi-annual dodgeball tournament.

Two days until departure.  Everything at my end has been squared away now and I am really just looking forward to the trip and meeting my new work colleagues and settling in.

I'm off soon to a goodbye dinner with some friends in Whangarei. Another similar dinner to follow tomorrow in Auckland. Needless to say, a very important part of the moving offshore process!
