As a brit, I do find some aspects of working in Malta quite 'challenging'. Eg, obsessions about your age, sharing this or other personal info widely with no consideration for your privacy, a constant requirement for ID number, and circulating your mobile number without asking you. There's a lot more of a persistent hierarchy according to job title too. Also, in *some* jobs, an unwritten requirement to do lots of overtime at no extra pay. Also, low salaries in a lot of sectors. That kind of covers the main cultural shocks/ annoyances if youre coming from the UK.

Hi Bosh
Thanks for the useful info.
Interested in your comments on age. I'm exiting a role in the UK a little earlier than expected (nothing untoward from my side, just a bit of an immoral industry I want out of, NDA's etc makes me end that there!)
Anyway, we've owned a place in Malta for years with a view to retiring there but I'm not quite there yet and really fancy something different. The Uk has a big push on tempting 50+ folk back in to the workplace and retraining for other industries. Realistically are there such opportunities in Malta?
Thanks in advance for any response's.
Regards
Phil
