Hi Everyone,
I have received an offer from a company go to Hong Kong and to set up a new office there, acting as MD. They asked me to give them my salary requirements including all overtime. Rent and all related utilities are paid by the company as well as the very basic furnishings.
My partner will not be able to work there, so I will need to "provide" for us both as well as my cat.
I currently make EUR 45K per year, which provides for a good lifestyle of eating out, most lunches (takeout) and dinner 2 to 3 times a week with some nice wine and fairly excesive clubbing once a week in Vienna. Also, I want my partner to be able to actually do things while I'm sitting at the office all day!
The job would be much more demanding and it was suggested to me by someone who used to live in HK to ask for EUR 100 K, which seems a bit exhorbinate. So my questions are:
1) What is the average percetage of taxes to wages?
2) Would 30,000HKD per month be sufficient for the lifestyle I described above for 2-30Somethings?
3) Does anyone have experience with what an "normal" salary would be for the MD of a starting-up IT equipment import/exporter?
Also, any information on importing pets would be very helpfull.
Thanks in advance for any information!
