Someone I know who is working for a Top bank took his job abroad while still getting paid same salary but now is working from another country. I’d love to do same: get paid US salary while living somewhere cheaper. How realistic is this or where should I start my search?

Many companies prohibit this due to legal and tax compliance issues. I know Deloitte directly prohibits this and considers it a fireable offense to do so under the radar

Seen this happen plenty of time in France… e.g. 300k Compliance Director in a startup keeping his NYC salary in Paris. For your own benchmark, a PwC Senior Manager is around 80k in Paris… you should be careful however, these situations exist but are “anomalies”. Not sure it would ever happen in an environment where people are good with money such as banks… counter-example : NYC banker going from 600k to 200k in Paris.

I hope so! Still believe this is something you can achieve ; recent example: US CFO joined one of my FR clients (startup) - still based in the US I believe, with the occasional flight to Paris.

This probably is an edge case for big 4 which operate as member firms. Actual multinationals however do this all the time with overseas placements, and in many cases actually pay more as an incentive, particularly for asia

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?
