Nice OP! I suggest St. Petersburg - awesome city.

Is knowing Russian a requirement to get a tour there? Or do they document workpapers in English?

In my line or work deliverables are almost exclusively in English

Currently at $170K base and specializing in cyber security - is this too aggressive a target and if so, what should be my target for base + anything else (with the split)?
