Hi all,

I'm a HK native with American citizenship currently working for a big bank in the U.S. My group has recently gotten more involved with businesses in Asia and I raised my hand and asked my boss to create a position for me in HK. I put together a business plan for them and everything seems to be going well. We are now at a stage where we are ironing out details, including pay, relocation, etc. My immediate supervisor (who will still be managing me when I'm in HK) had a bad experience with getting the bank pay her relocation when she moved within two U.S. cities before and, as such, has a theory that I shouldn't get relocation. I know the head of my group would NOT have a problem paying relocation at all. My group has previously pushed two other people out due to poor performances. One was relocated to another U.S. city and another was moved to HK. Both got full relocation package. I feel like since I will be of significant value added to them by being in Hk, if those people got full relocation package, I should at least get partial package. If I don't go with my bank and instead try to get a job in HK, do banks usually pay for relocation? I'm not even asking for an expat package or any salary adjustment. Thanks!
