Salaries are much lower in those places than the US. I think the only places you can earn more than US are Gulf countries, Singapore and HK

Yes. But your question is very vague. What do you want to know? Best cities to relocate, consulting work culture, taxes, school system, real estate, prime ministers? Also were you born and raised in US?

I was recently promoted, which I am really excited about. But not so exciting is that my bump in salary is really small. Much smaller than expected and I believe smaller than industry benchmark. Is there a way to politely broach the subject with my boss and ask for a larger bump? Or no? I don’t want to seem ungrateful because I love my boss and she really championed the promotion. I also don’t want to burn a bridge. But I also feel let down by the tiny pay bump. Any advice?

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended.

I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄
