Singapore Expats

I'm just curious as to what people get in their expat packages. I work for finance related firm based in the States that has no formal human resources department or expat program, in fact I'm the first one from the firm to live/work overseas while working there. So it's been hard for me to gauge what expat packages normally consist of.

My package is simple - I have up to 3 trips back home to the States (business class) and the firm pays my rent and utilities (around S$4.5k/month). I don't have any wife or kids so school tuition is not an issue yet. But am wondering if there is something else I should request. It's hard to ask for a hardship allowance since Singapore is as easy to live in as New York. I still get paid in USD on the same basis as I would back home.

What are the components of your expat package?

Your benefits are above par (most of us are lucky to get one trip yearly in economy), and if you're already here, it's a bit late to bargain. But yeah, schooling for the kids is a biggie for families, because it'll cost a pretty penny otherwise.

I don't get any perqs.

My moving expenses were covered and that's about it.
