China CYBERATTACK on UK ? WTF
Curious - if you were to move from the Bay Area to Asia (Japan, Singapore, Korea or SEA countries) for a job, say the same company but different role vs a new company - what kind of salary adjustment is reasonable? Anybody done this before and did you take a salary cut? I’m making close to $300k TC in business org and was told that only C-level folks make that kind of salary in those markets. Is that true? If so, what’s reasonable for me to ask to maintain the standard of living?
For FANG engineers joining local companies, you should expect 2 levels up otherwise you're likely to be lowballed. For a typical L5, you can get Senior Manager/Senior Staff Engineer in local companies.
alibaba directors can make up to $1m per year. senior directors $1.5-2m.
What’s your job title at Facebook right now?
M2!
Singapore colleagues pay significantly less tax, so factor that in too. You’re likely keeping your current RSUs too, so there’s that.
Yes, that's another thing to consider. It's less likely you pay more than 20% off of your income unless the pay is huuuuge. Most of them pay around 10-15% in Singapore
Unfortunately if you’re a US citizen, you get taxed on worldwide income (past a certain amount)
Any Asian companies with good wlb? Don't want 996
Wlb in Singapore is okay compared to Korea & Japan. In Korea, people usually work overtime without getting paid for OT. Instead, the company pays your dinner. In Singapore, there's no overtime pay so simply no one works overtime.
fb has no overtime pay either, but everyone works overtime.
Agoda based in Bangkok pay well. No need to be c level to get that much
Unless you're a software engineer. The pay is good for Bangkok, but I find it hard to believe anyone gets 300k TC.
Ahh I heard locals gets paid shit but the American expat community in product is paid well. Source: friend accepted offer and i did phone interview a while ago. Is 200 TC reasonable for product ?
