Answer the questions. 

Part 1

I agree with the premise that expatriates should be rewarded for going out of their home comfort zone for the betterment and strategic alignment of the organization.  Sacrifice should be rewarded.  As an HR practitioner, I would have no problem arguing for the same if not more wages for the expat.  Here is an interesting article I found to go along with this discussion.  Please review it and let me know if you found any of the information useful, and if anything within the article changed your stance on expat compensation practices?

Part 2

Due to the financial crisis we went through as well as negative results from our current economic situation, luxury contracts are hard to come by.  While there is certainly momentum in some countries to bring in expats, some countries are moving to hiring personnel from inside the country.  This can make negotiating compensation very tricky for someone wanting to travel overseas.  Expats must be better than the competition and also willing to compromise in contract talks. 

How should an expat negotiate when he or she makes $90,000 in the United States and China can find personnel inside China for $65,000?
