Does that mean there has to be a Vacancy Bid (with openings that you are senior enough to hold) after you've been there 2 years?
Could 2 years really mean 3, 4 or 5 years? If I remember correctly you CAN'T stay in CGN more than 5 years (even if you want to) because it forces FedEx to pay German income taxes?
I'm not saying that FDA's are a bad deal, quite the contrary ... I think it could be fun for a couple or young family. I think it's a GREAT opportunity to get a job with FedEx.
Just make sure that you understand the conditions you are agreeing to when you accept a Foreign Domicile Assignment (FDA).
