Thanks for the information. I did not follow up once I was told the salary should have been advertised in FJD not USD. Perhaps in another 3-4 years but not now given the US housing market and the need to sale a house

I have to say, that even with the salary in Fiji Dollars, you'll be living the high life over there and be able to save a bundle. But it's not for everybody... I understand your concerns of having to sell a house.

and the need to sale a house
Is this a typo or is it now common to use this word in this context?

It should have read sail a house. I am not sure I can sail a house all the way to USP. It is a reel concern.
