Thanks for replying Harmonie.

Anyone can give me some info???

Generally I would assume expat would be paid more then a local on a similar position?

Normally an expat should make around 30% more then what they are worth in their own country correct?

I don't think that's at all correct.  Some countries pay much less, but the cost of living might be much lower.  Macau is not an expensive city.  I'm sure they can get away with paying less.

Well in Canada you can rent a nice place for about $1,500CAD (12,000MOP)or own a nice condo for $275,000CAD 2,200 000MOP.  So to say cost of living is cheaper is not correct.  If you have a free place to stay then to survice off of just paying food then yes it is a bit cheaper.  I travel to Macau every year since I have family there so I know how much it cost but to have your own place or rent is wat more then Canada.

I have never heard of an Expat travel to another country to work for less.  The expat should be compensated correctly.

Hailey what type of field are you in?  I noticed that your in HK.
