It’s pretty twisted. I went to open an office in a different country and help the engineers there. The country had an exchange rate favorable to the usd and a much lower cost of living on the low end, but if you wanted to live like I did back in California the cost was almost comparable. Maybe I was saving like $1k a month.

But the ceo and management threw a fit that I was “living like a king” because I wasn’t living in squalor.

I just was renting a decent apartment in a decent neighborhood. My apartment was still not as nice as my place back in the bay if I count all the furniture, amenities, etc

Meanwhile the ceo back in San Francisco was the one living like a king with multiple assistants, private chefs, and chauffeurs.

They were enraged that my life was too good for their standards while paying me the exact same as they had been.

It's funny that they said that, because in other industries expats often live like actual kings (okay, not kings but at least US ambassadors.)
