Ok, just thought I'd throw this one out there for everyone to chew on and chime in with there thoughts...

We all know that living and being based in Paris or Hong Kong would warrant extra pay to adjust for the cost of living in two of the most expensive cities in the world...but how much more?

Last night at dinner the 'word on the street' is the adjustments has been agreed upon by union&company and it is an additional $2,700 a month. I thought that seemed a bit on the low side and we might have some junior guys jump on it but when you factor everything else in it looks like a pay cut to me (depending on where you live of course). Housing, food and transporatation cost can add up quick and I have no idea what the tax implications are...

Thoughts??? (I know, stupid question)
