As title, been offered an opportunity there.

Ive worked in Australia, Hong Kong and the ME before, (but never the other way) so used to ex pat living, and although honeymooned in St Lucia last year, haven't spent time in the caribbean.

Can anyone offer some insights at all?

Just for context, wasn't looking, was approached specifically and currently in a good place in my current role in London.

Never been, know nothing about the country, but surely it all depends on what the job would be, whether you would be employed locally or based in another country or whether you would effectively be a contractor or self-employed. And of course your remuneration is also relevant. You may find that you are paid handsomely compared with the locals, allowing you to live very comfortably. But if you are intending to return to the UK then you need to make sure that your pay covers savings and pension contributions back home.
