Hi all, need some advice. Recently, I am being requested by an ex boss to be posted to China (tier 2 city) to work. I am from middle management in healthcare industry (not clinical person).
I am a Singaporean in my mid 30s married, no kid yet (planning maybe have 1 kid next year), current salary at current job is $6.3k pm (Its possible for me to change job in SG and get 10% to 15% salary increase).
I love the idea of gaining oversea experience and this offer a good opportunity. At the same time, i do not want to get short changed in terms of salary and benefits. As I need to sacrifices my family time.
I read somewhere that a typical expat package should be at least 20 to 40% increased in base pay + Accomodation, Utilities, hardship allowance etc. I am thinking also to return home once a month.
Will it be too much if i ask for 30% to 35% more (inc hardship) in basic (Mid $8k pm), + flight home monthly + other basic like accomodation,utilities?
Any one can share their expat package
