I was once offered to work in Khartoum Sudan as an Expat.
Good salary in USD.
But Sudan ??? No thanks.
Being a Expat, Title Sums it All

How'd you guys get so lucky being offered as an Expat? I studied abroad and tried so hard to find a job to continue my life abroad but was forced to come back since a finance and marketing major was not in demand.. Now im just a fresh grad looking for jobs locally..

QUOTE(garlicpesto @ Dec 18 2018, 02:47 AM) How'd you guys get so lucky being offered as an Expat? I studied abroad and tried so hard to find a job to continue my life abroad but was forced to come back since a finance and marketing major was not in demand.. Now im just a fresh grad looking for jobs locally.. To be clear if you move to a different country on your own, then look for a job you're technically not an expat. If you apply for a different branch in a different country and you're paid like those locals, then technically you're not an expat either.In the companies I've worked for an expat moves to a different country because the company wants him/her to go there and is willing to pay extra to cover the hardship and other costs associated with the move. An expat offer for example covers the following - hardship allowance - if the company didn't do so already, normalizing your salary to international level ie you get paid whatever your peers get paid globally, not based on Malaysian salary - allowances for upscale apartment, furnishings, car/driver - free international schools for kids up to 18 years old - round trip air tickets once per year for the family (unfortunately in economy class only) - services of a tax consultant who will manage all taxes in both Malaysia and the expat country - transportation services for your stuff - repatriation services for 1 year (maybe 2? can't recall) specifically covering international school for the kids, some coverage for rental/hotels while you look for accommodation after returning to Malaysia Fresh grads are usually not offered expat positions. Luck plays a role, but your own prep ie. showing initiative, having strategy/vision etc shows your boss that you're ready for that next role. Lucrative expat offers are hard to come by nowadays... |
