@mariangel That's my thought. I mean...Japan is nice, but, with that amount you could basically take a vacation for 5 years. Why even tie yourself down in one location tbh? Not sure what taxes would be on a 6M inheritance, but I wouldn't want to pay it if I were OP just for the right to...

@gaconvn I would suggest you keep building your skills. You may (probably will) need to eventually move to get a larger bump in comp, but you need to be seen as at least a seasoned IC or highly skilled. From what I understand, you aren't underpaid for your level of experience.

@gaconvn I am a Sr. PM and an IC so this is a FWIW. I do have an idea about budgets though. 8m is not bad here considering your experience level. 12m seems certainly doable and you don't need to be in a major tech company, however, you likely do need to be in an established foreign company...

@cdaysr It's just more of a negotiation point. As I said, go to Japan either way. Having said that while it might not be possible to get a better offer, you could make the point that to match current comp the annual comp of the offer should match the current annual comp before 1x bonus...

@gingermarie Go. I moved to Japan during a bad exchange rate. The upside was that my comp was based in part on that rate conversion (130JPY to 1USD). So when the yen turned back to 105 I was doing much better in dollar terms than I had been in the US. Plus, it's a good opportunity. You...

@gustavowoltmann Why would you put it up for sale within year if you go through renovation? Just bad joujou or are you not staying in Japan?
