Hello everyone!
After a while just reading this forum (it's great btw) I finally post here, since I've just got the draft of my offer today.
Honestly it disappointed me at the first sight, but maybe I just had unrealistic expectation?
So I'm just gonna be open and ask what you would think about this relocation offer:
I'm moving within the same company from Germany to Hong Kong but it's a local contract and not an expat one (whysoever). Monthly salary would be 23K plus 7K housing allowance.
Basically I get the same net as here in Germany, but half of the holidays, which kind of means a drop. Besides, I'm afraid not to be able to find any apartment for 7K, which means I have to pull out some from the salary to pay for rent.
Is 23K+7K already a damn good offer and I'd better be happy with that or is it realistic to negotiate for more? Me personally, as long as I can live normally without worrying too much about the bill, and manage to save something on the side and not just wait from pay check to pay check, I'm fine with the salary. But is it possible to negotiate holidays?
Thanks so much for your comments!
Peace,
Vani
