What kind of expat employment package would be considered fair? I finished an interview last week, and I have another schedule next month, and a face to face a few weeks after that. It's actually in Vientiane, Laos, I asked in Thailand because I think I'll get a better response here, than simply in Asia Pacific - Other. During the interview we briefly discussed salary, but as it's the first interview I didn't want to go into depth. I am currently on Stickman Bangkok's website, trying to see what I could expect. If there are some expats who could help me, it would be appreciated. I mean, is it normal for a package to include housing and a driver? Or is that only in some cases? I just want to know what's fair and normal for an expat. The position is a medium level managerial position at a financial institution.
