I am a single American from New York currently living in London in my early 30s that is contemplating moving to HK later this year and wondering how good my package is...
900,000 base salary (includes required provident fund contributions)
90,000 cost of living allowance
450,000 (up to) housing allowance
75,000 moving expense allowance
60,000 temporary housing allowance
bonus - to be determined
Expat Tax prep by designated accountant
1 business class trip back home yearly
firm medical plan, not sure about dental yet
I am fairly excited about moving to HK from the UK but the company didn't pay for any of my housing, expat tax prep or flights home when I moved here so I'm not a real expat package. I'm trying to determine how hard I should negotiate the offer above. I really would like to be made whole for my 1 year stay in the UK before I make the jump to HK. If I stayed here I wouldn't lose any sleep. After talking to several folks internally it seems that I'm in a good position to ask for more. What are your thoughts?
