[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has to be some additional compensation for housing, plus a per diem for food and transport. How much is that?

You're only looking at the negatives, OP. Look at the positives. Could you go visit him and give your children an international experience?[/quote]

They will of course cover all of his housing, travel, and meals.  We could possibly visit but I am not really that interested in this as my kids are very young to appreciate an international experience and both DH and I have been to Asia various times.  Not trying to be negative, but this feels like a big ask without much upside.

Does a special bonus sound realistic to ask for?[/quote]

I mean, he can ASK for a bonus, but I guarantee there's someone willing to do it without the bonus, which means your DH ends up looking petty and passing up what I'm confident is an opportunity for advancement.  The "bonus" comes from him proving he's willing to take one for the team, and being rewarded down the line. [/quote]
