Hopefully they'll do something for you for the cost of living differential (if there is one, I assume you've done your research on what the costs are there). The few times I've either been offered a move (to the US bleh) or known people who have been offered a move, the company didn't do ANYTHING for cost of living differential, and the move would have left the people making far less in the end due to higher costs of living.

And then the companies are surprised when no one takes them up on it lol.
I have done my research, and I have seen that Std of living there is about 7% higher....EXCEPT housing is about 30% more, so I am going to ask for a living expense of 30% of what I pay here in Victoria right now.
