by Adam Anz

 

Overlooking issue about Housing might worth you almost $100,000 a year! Issues about Healthcare not only cause you money but might cause your life and death! Issues about your children, you don’t want anything bad happen to your children, such as kidnapping!

 

 

1. The employer will start to offer you as low as possible

 

If you ‘feel’ that your expat package is low from what should you deserve, you definitely right!! 

 

Why? Because, most companies simply withhold the benefits, unless you bring it up in the next negotiation.  In other words, the employer may purposely hide, or had “forgotten” to tell you! Purposely, the employer will start with a low offer as they expect you to negotiate. This is common in any negotiation and a basic bargain technique.  In fact, they like it when you negotiate, when you show some self-respect.

 

Always ask for the benefits you want, as companies often won't include everything they're willing to offer unless you bring them up at the negotiation table. 

You need to be ready to be proactive during the negotiation process.

 

Now here the awkward situation, most ‘negotiation’ is simply about asking but the problem is you are not clear what to ask.

 

 

2. BEWARE....You probably leaving money on the table 

 

You’ll probably search in expat forums looking for advice from other fellow expats and get mixed reviews. Maybe some fellow expats gives you advice and that make you "feelin' good" about the job offer.

 

However, getting an honest answer from a stranger behind the forum with different nationality, different lifestyle, different job rank, and different family size can be misleading. They just don’t know what is your real situation and lifestyle.

 

You probably leaving money on the table, or worse you miss to recoup back your money on something that belong to you!

 

 

3. You need to diagnose and assess your own situation thoroughly

 

The real answer is always in you. You need to diagnose and assess your own unique situation thoroughly. Your needs such as house, car, international school, spouse etc. is totally different. 

 

In other words, you need to diagnose and assess your own situation thoroughly.

 

Do not underestimate your ‘decent’ unique lifestyle won’t cost you while in foreign country. Have an exact idea of what you want to earn and be able to back that up with cold hard facts about why you think you're worth that much.
