A 60-minute call or an Audit to gather an initial level of personalized strategy from an HR mobility expert and former expatriate

DON'T STAY BLINDSIDED...

Expatriation is supposed to be a dream.

But the reality can be quite different :

Receiving and negotiating the compensation package with tight deadline (for example just before departure)

Renewal of the offer or unexpected repatriation, or even problems upon return – these situation can be stressful and HR expect from you a quick feedback

Impenetrable terms and complicated salary structure

Little room for salary negotiation

Unknown cost of living or quality of differentials and how much you can ask for compensation

How secured is your contract and your situation for you and your family?

We agree: it's a real headache! 🤯

YOU'RE PLUNGED INTO TOTAL UNCERTAINTY, OVERWHELMED BY QUESTIONS...

  • I've been offered a 15 m³ removal package. Is that enough?

  • Is anything missing from the offer?

  • Is the International Assignment allowance enough to cover the costs for this assignment ? Can I request more in terms of allowance(s) or benefits to my employer ?

  • Is the social/health coverage offered sufficient/legal? What will happen for my Pension ?

  • Has my employer anticipated my situation?

Make no mistake: every non-negotiated term can be costly.

Think you can handle everything yourself? Beware: the terrain of expatriation is littered with pitfalls that only an expert eye can detect.

And if that wasn't complex enough, don't forget that every company has its own rules.

YOU CAN HANDLE IT ON YOUR OWN...

You're probably going to do some research on the web: forum discussions, articles, videos...

What you see may be misleading, because what worked for someone else may not work for you.

You can't afford to base impactful decisions like these on 'hearsay' or general cases.

And it's a fact that, as an employee, you're often less well-equipped to evaluate objectively the offer made to you.

The details of the expatriation package can be confusing. And while you're struggling to understand, time is running out.

HR often expects you to respond quickly, putting you in an uncomfortable position.

The risk? Accepting an offer that looks attractive at first glance, but doesn't actually match your long-term interests. This rush creates fertile ground for regret, confusion and frustration.

And obviously, once an offer has been accepted, it's very difficult to submit new requests and negotiate.

PARAGRAPH

The details of the expatriation package can be confusing. And while you're struggling to understand, time is running out.

HR often expects you to respond quickly, putting you in an uncomfortable position.

The risk? Accepting an offer that looks attractive on the surface, but doesn't actually match your long-term interests. This rush creates fertile ground for regret

and frustration.

Not to mention that, once an offer has been accepted, it's very difficult to come back with demands after the fact and negotiate.

I CAN ADAPT TO YOUR EMERGENCY

Expat Audit

Ideal if you need expert feedback in both written and video format (no calls on this option).

288 € INCL. VAT

If you need advice that doesn't require a telephone appointment (contract analysis, retirement situation, etc.), particularly if you have a less urgent request, this option guarantees a written report and a video explanation (permanent video link).

Expat Hour Call

Option standard

Ideal if you have time to prepare and reflect on your expatriation

500 € INCL. VAT

This option includes a 60-minute consultation session during which we will discuss your specific issue in detail (expatriation offer, negotiation strategies, retirement, preparation for departure...). You leave with an action plan and the record of the call in your hands to reflect again on the strategies later on.

Expat Hour Call

Fast Track option

Perfect if you need expert feedback in record time

900 € INCL. VAT

If you need immediate priority advice, especially if you have a short HR-imposed cooling-off period, this option guarantees appointment availability options within a week.

Special case for the Expat Hour Call option: If you're on the other side of the world (I am based in France), with a significant time difference (3 hours more or less), and there's no slot that suits you at the time of booking, here's how to proceed: go to the end of the booking process (book the first slot you find), then email me your availability, and we'll investigate alternative possibilities to the initial slot. Otherwise, by default, the slot initially booked will be applied and if necessary it will be done hybrid (by Loom + written summary).

THEY TRUSTED ME FOR THEIR EXPATRIATION:

But that's not all!

I challenged myself to obtain 2 American certifications in International HR and International Mobility.

Why did I choose these certifications?

For their significant business orientation, which gives me a US and international perspective of expatriate management.

I'm the only HR freelancer in France to hold these two certifications (SPHRi and GPHR), which I renew every 3 years to ensure that I'm always up to date on these expertise topics.

New for 2024

I joined the EXPAT PRO network

Expat Pro is a network of expatriation experts.

For the moment, it's a French network, with plans to expand internationally.

Its aim is to put expatriates in touch with professionals selected for their expertise. This made direct sense to me.

Expat Pro is totally in line with my values and what I stand for via the Expat Hour Call : to provide expatriates with the best possible support in their quest for solutions to their questions.

No longer leaving them alone in the face of misunderstandings, which can have disastrous consequences for their expatriation.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

For the Expat Hour Call option, is a one-hour call enough to review my expatriation offer in detail?

A one-hour call is perfect for an initial insight. For a more detailed analysis and especially if you need calculations or to review accuracy of calculations done by your HR, a separate personalized consultation is required. A quotation will be provided to help you validate and/or negotiate your offer as this depends on the complexity of your offer.

What if I need more than a first light?

If, after our session, you need further support, I'll arrange a personalized consultation to address your situation in depth.

I'm an expat and I'm thinking of breaking my contract or I'm faced with an early termination of my contract. Can the 1-hour (Expat Hour Call) call help me understand the situation?

Yes, the 1-hour call is suitable for strategically guiding you through situations of breach of contract. We'll examine the conditions of return and discuss the best approaches. For more detailed support, an in-depth consultation can be arranged.

How can I be sure you'll be able to meet my specific needs?

With my experience in several sectors (startup, military, industry, services...), I can offer advice tailored to your situation, far beyond the general answers you might find on forums. I have a 360° and strategic view of the situation, which enables me to provide you with the best answer for your specific case.

Can I pay in installments?

Payment is made in full by credit card at the time of booking.

How does the booking process work?

Follow these simple steps:

1) Fill in a quick online form,

2) A check will be carried out within 48 hours to ensure that there is no conflict of interest with your employer,

3) You receive confirmation that your request can be processed by With My Expat Compass,

4) Validate the GDPR document to ensure your data privacy as you are sharing sensitive information,

5) Pay online by credit card

6) Book your appointment.

What should I do if I can't make my appointment at the last minute (Expat Hour Call option)?

You can reschedule your appointment up to 2 times. Beyond that time, a new reservation and payment will be required. See our General Terms and Conditions for more details.

How does the consultation session work (Expat Hour Call Option)?

First, fill in the form to detail your request. During the session, which will take place on Google Meet, I'll ask you further questions and provide you with a tailored response.

What does Expat Audit include?

Unlike the Expat Hour Call, the Expat Audit does not include a telephone appointment.

The Expat Audit includes a written report that identifies points of vigilance / negotiation levers / situation analysis. I also provide legal and HR sources to help with the negotiation (exception: I do not provide cost-of-living and housing surveys, which are invoiced extra).

Is it possible to cancel the session?

In accordance with French law for customers, it is possible to cancel the session within 14 (fourteen) days of its conclusion, free of charge and without having to give reasons. In view of this period, WITH MY EXPAT COMPASS will not be able to begin providing the Service before the end of the cancellation period, except if you wish to proceed with the fast track option. Then the cancellation period is not applicable.

What is the purpose of GDPR validation?

GDPR validation is necessary to ensure the confidentiality and security of sensitive information we may share, in accordance with applicable regulations.

What is the purpose of the conflict of interest check and how is it managed?

I provide consulting and operational assistance to various organizations. As a result, I will not be able to process requests from employees of organizations for which I have provided / am providing a service.

During the preliminary questionnaire, I will ask you for details of your current employer in order to carry out this check. Later in the process, you may be asked for proof of employment (pay slips in particular) to check the feasibility of the service WITH MY EXPAT COMPASS. Indeed, in case of conflict of interest, WITH MY EXPAT COMPASS will be due to cancel the service and to refund you accordingly.

Is it possible to consult the detailed terms and conditions of sale?

Of course you can! Click here to access the WITH MY EXPAT COMPASS T&Cs. If you can't find what you're looking for, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and we'll get back to you.
