Here’s some free advice from a global mobility expert: if an accounting or consulting firm offers you assignment in another country for greater than 1 year, and won’t tax equalize you for all employment related compensation. Say no. That’s the bare minimum.

The free advice you give is worth what you are charging. There are plenty of opportunities that don’t warrant equalization or housing support, etc.

That’s just a need to set expectations. Maybe they just got bad advice. You honestly have tried to put a blanket statement about expat assignments, and narrowly focused it around two of MANY factors. There are plenty of situations whereby an expat experience is worth an additional cost to an individual.

What’s “ tax equalize “

No disagreement there. I agree depending on facts and jurisdiction there are plenty of directions this can go in terms of tax mechanics and treaty positions in particular, but I guess my point is that a full assignment cost projection and articulated plan on who providers are and expectations on tax liabilities etc are pretty standard and should be bare minimum expectations. A close friend at a pretty major consulting firm just got pretty shafted because he didn’t know the right questions to ask or buzzwords to use prior to getting on the plane.

Agreed should have stated this. Only posted this because just caught up with a friend who’s employer was not forth-coming with the implications and he’s got major money to pay and wish he asked more questions a year ago.

First time in negotiation but offer is for $25k more, $90k-> $115k. Guaranteed 25% bonus. They seem hard to budge but is that worth a jump? I know it’s about an extra $1300/month for base

Thinking of what else could be negotiated
