Hello All,
I just received a job offer to relocate to Hong Kong from Miami and I need some advice as to what can I expect my life to look like with the current package. This way I can best negotiate.
Current situation:
I'm living in a 2 bedroom apartment that is about 1200 sq. ft. Family consists of wife, 19 month old son, and new baby on the way in September.
The details of the offer are as follow:
HKD 71,500 per month gross salary
HKD 30,000 per month housing allowance
Discretionary bonus of 2-4 months salary
Full Medical Coverage in HK and mainland China
I would be working in Taikoo Shing in the hospitality industry.
The assignment is for 18-24 months with the intention of returning to the US.
My main questions are:
1. Is this enough money for accommodations to love comfortably? We understand we have to give up space vs. Miami but want to ensure the accommodations are comparable in relations to luxury/quality of our apt in Miami.
2. Air quality is a big concern - especially with a pregnant wife - where is best to live that would provide my wife support for the kids (ie playgrounds, indoor areas for bad pollution days).
Any other advice you can think of is greatly appreciated!
We are so excited about our move and are looking forward to immersing ourselves in the culture of this amazing city.
Thank you!
