Instead of searching for the ideal expat deal, try downsizing your lifestyle

 

I’ve been working in Hong Kong for the last five years and it was my present company (a global retail and sourcing company) that moved my family and I from Europe to here. They provided a very good expat package inclusive of housing, car, international schooling and a home-leave allowance. Recently, however, my company gave me two options: the first to stay in Hong Kong and have my package localised; the second to be repatriated back to my company’s European HQ. I enjoy living and working here, as does my family. Do you think it’s possible for me to find another company that will offer similar expat benefits in Hong Kong, Singapore or even China?
