Hi guys,
I am new to the site and need some help.
I have been offered a role in HK within my current company. We are a global company and big in the USA and UK and we are just starting out a new operation in HK.
I have been with the company for 4 years and are one of their top sales reps. They need my help and want me to go to Hk, to help progress the team, develop them and critically help sell into new markets.
Unlike most companies, they are not offering big expat packages, huge relocation fees and ongoing assistant. They are positioning this as a "Local package," and a permanent transfer. I will need to re-apply for my job here if I come back.
So the question is, I have been offered around £5,000 a year less than I earn in London. I feel my rent would go up, outgoings higher as I wouldn't have my friends around me hence the need to go out more.
Does anyone know if this is common? should I be pushing for more? as right now it doesn't seam too compelling to go.
Any help would be appreciated.
