FAQ & Answers: Promotion relocation 

Frequently asked questions & Answers: Promotion Relocation

Question: I have been offered a promotion in my present company to a managers role. But I have to relocate to London which is an area I don't know. What things should I ask for and expect if I accept the position? I.e. relocation pay, time to find somewhere to live etc in terms of negotiating pay what things should I be asking in terms of moving to a more expensive area?

Answer: It really depends on the company. Some companies will offer you paid accommodation for a number of weeks & paid time off to find a suitable place to live. They'll also pay a certain amount to cover moving your furniture or they will arrange and pay a moving company to do so. We suggest you negotiate to get this assistance.

As far as your salary, compare the cost of living in your city with that of London & ask for an amount to compensate you for the difference. Obviously you need to negotiate & be flexible.
