Used Chatgpt to analyse both package, the summary below:

Short-Term Advantage: Thailand, due to the higher COLA (initially) and relocation allowance.

Long-Term Advantage: Malaysia might be more consistent with a stable base salary and guaranteed bonuses.

Bonuses: Thailand offers a slightly more lucrative bonus structure.

Retirement Contributions: Thailand offers a slightly higher employer contribution to the provident fund.

Work-life balance: Both jobs offer the same amount of annual leave.

If you're prioritizing short-term financial benefits, Thailand seems to offer more attractive perks like COLA and relocation allowances. However, if you're looking for long-term stability and guaranteed income (with no drop in living allowance after a few years), Malaysia may be a better fit.

----------------

Info:

No contract constraint on the one-time relocation allowance, meaning if I chose to relocate to TH and get the allowance, I can find a new job and leave immediately - no need to pay back anything to the co. However, my intention is to stay long term with the co.

----------------

At the end, I chose to stay in Malaysia for long term stability. It make no sense to me to work in TH with a salary reduction every year as this will be demotivating to me in the long run.

Thanks for all the feedbacks here, much appreciated.

chatgpt did not analyse the value of the job in TH vs MY. above posters sweet_pez mentioned it well. " value in terms of growth, exposure and learning opportunities (as well as future promotion/ upgrading) since monetary/ package-wise, it's rather similar."
