Also offered 2k relocation costs and first month in corporate housing.
Anything else i should be asking for or confirming?
I'd verify the following:
- That you receive decent and relatively affordable health insurance
- That you can afford to receive only $2k for relocation, 18 months ago a company offered me $4.5k in relocation assistance for a move to Texas. I'd make sure that it works for you and the amount of stuff you expect to bring/buy.
- I'd verify that the corporate housing stipend is reasonable. The firm I am with now places people in corporate housing for longer-term projects in the LA area (very near where you are looking) for approximately $3800/month - I'd make sure that is around the figure they are looking at providing you. Some buildings with corporate housing in that area charge by $$/night - we usually pay in the neighborhood of $130/night.
I can't think of anything else - so if all of it looks good, congratulations!
