Thanks for all the advice and insight.
I have talked to our HR Manager and also my boss here, and laid everything with regards to my expectations on the table. I was more candid with my HR Manager then my boss, however they are both aware that it will pretty much take an offer I can't refuse to make my wife and I go. Further background is my wife has a very good job here she worked very hard to get where she's at. My HR Manager is aware that the offer would have to cover that loss of income in addition to my bump in salary as well. I also told them that this would be a long term move, and we are treating this as permanent. Thus I need assurances and expectations at milestone years (1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, 10, etc).
Does this sound unreasonable? My HR Manager said it didn't, as she said it's better to lay everything on the table, so my wife and I aren't offended at a first offer, if the company didn't know my expectations.
It's looking more and more like I will be making the move. I'm nervous/excited/scared all at once. I've been going through a rollercoaster of emotion and logic for the past week.
Can anybody give me more insight into Regina as a city? Thank you redforever for yours. I'd like to know more about areas to live, areas to stay away from, eating out, eating in, things to do, things that make Regina special compared to a place like Calgary, education system, racism and prejudice (we are both asian, but born and raised here), the people, cost of living compared to here (specifics if you can)....
I really thank you guys for all the insight and help. I'm the kind of guy that needs to know what I'm getting into from the start
