Hey pinseeker,
You say you are a "yes" voter...Does that mean you are a "YES" bidder for one of the FDAs?
You will be voting for what amounts to a "B scale" on our property. $2700/mo does not come close to making up the difference in cost of living expenses. Even, if you're comparing LAX to CDG.
But regardless, it's not just the STV or housing allowance. It's the whole package and all of its unknowns.
It's kind of ironic that a company that always touts itself on being one the top 10 places to work, would offer one of the worst expat packages I've ever heard of.
