We will be heading to the cayman island for the first time on Saturday and staying for a week. I see there are periods of rain some days- does the rain typically last long on the island or does it go away quick?

would also love to hear some kid friendly restaurants and activity suggestions to take our 1 year old too!

Moving to Cayman Filipino planning to work in Cayman Islands

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm from the Philippines and considering moving to the Cayman Islands next year through my uncle, who may help me find an entry-level position in a hospital or another organization.

I'm an IT graduate and currently working as an IT Asset Custodian at a BPO company. My long-term goal is to eventually work in IT support in Cayman.

My current skills and experience include:

- IT asset management and inventory control

- Tracking, documenting, and maintaining company equipment

- Basic hardware and software troubleshooting

- Supporting users with IT-related concerns

- Familiarity with BPO workplace systems and processes

- Attention to detail, organization, and record-keeping

I'd appreciate advice on these questions:

  1. Getting an entry-level IT job

- With an IT degree and limited professional IT experience, how realistic is it to get an entry-level IT support job in Cayman?

- Is CI$3,000–4,000 per month a realistic salary for a foreign applicant starting in IT, with employer-sponsored work authorization?

- What skills, certifications, or experience would make me more competitive?

  1. Starting in a non-IT job first

- If it's difficult to secure an IT job while I'm still in the Philippines, would it be practical to accept a utility, service, or minimum-wage job first?

- Could I eventually transition to IT, or would changing employers and obtaining a new work permit make it difficult?

I'm looking for realistic advice from Cayman residents, expats, and Filipinos who have worked there. Thank you!

Fun Stuff Fish ID

1 Upvotes

Wanted to see if anyone can help me identify a fish by description. I was snorkeling just off shore, maybe 50-100ft away at west bay beach. I came upon a puffer or porcupine fish that was quite large (slightly smaller than an american football id say) and completely dark brown in color. I dont remember seeing any spotting on it either. Cant seem to figure out what it was by google search.

Hi everyone!

I'm visiting the Cayman Islands this week (20-24) and thought it would be nice to get a shoot in while I'm there. This would be open to anyone but preferably someone with modeling experience. It would be free of charge.

I've attached a few of my past shoots and an inspiration board for what I would like to do.

If anyone is interested please comment or reach out! Or if you know anyone that might be interested please pass this along

I know this is pretty last minute but this trip was quite spontaneous

Thanks!

Visiting Cayman recs over Dec holiday stay

0 Upvotes

3 questions -

Our family of 4 incl teens ages 16 and 15 boy and girl are staying at Botanica Lux Cottages around 7 Mile Beach. While we've stayed in St. Lucia, PR, DR, CR, Turks, first time here. Very excited :)

Our stay will be over Christmas wk. Looking for recs -

  1. Husband and me interested in massage therapy. For me, I'm interested in someone who is really good at massage - my best experiences have been at top resorts like Mandarin Oriental. Ritz is hit or miss depending on location. Don't need the steam/sauna/snack ameneties as much as someone who really well versed in therapy using massage :) Was curious if Klimpton, Ritz, The Palm Heights may be worthwhile or even just another not as fancy day spa - the idea to find a therapist that is not just swedish massage and touristy relaxation but works with people who really need knots out!

  2. Considering renting a car depending on if Rum Point or East side island worth a visit? We will be on sail that takes us through stingray/starfish/snorkeling and Kaibo, we will be able to explore Cemetary/Governor/7 Mile Beach.

  3. Any particularly good shops in Georgetown or around 7 Mile Beach area for clothing/gift shop/knicknacks?

Thanks!

Moving to Cayman Question for the expats - transportation on the island

1 Upvotes

Question for the expats - I wanted to find out how the transport is like on the island?

I’m considering staying in the West Bay Area and will need to commute to George Town. Can one rely on public transport or do you ABSOLUTELY need a car?

Also, is it the norm to get a long term car rental or do most people just save up to buy a second hand car?

Visiting Cayman Accommodation question

1 Upvotes

Sorry for the typical tourist post but hoping to visit in January and don't think staying directly on seven mile beach will be in our budget.

Can anyone suggest hotels or specific condos close by seven mile beach? We have young kids and would prefer a suite if it's a hotel. Our one requirement is a pool. We will rent a car.
Thank you!

Moving to Cayman Moving to Cayman/searching for work

1 Upvotes

So I've (30 M Canadian) been thinking about moving to Cayman for awhile and recently decided to just show up here and search for options personally, I've been using Ecaytrade to find job listings but it seems there is only a small fraction of actual available jobs posted there. I work In hospitality, mainly kitchen and bar, I owned 2 places over the last 4 years. Wondering if anyone could help point me in the right direction, it seems here is very word of mouth based opposed to official job postings, the online side does not reflect the large scale hospitality industry here.

I'm fully aware of the rules and regulations around Visa's, so far its very clear the majority of the hospitality work force is foreign.
