Re:Ask HN: What was your relocation package like? by vostok on Saturday January 28, 2017 @03:45PM (#13509140)
Forgive me if I am skeptical about whether or not you have moved from one country to another with a family while maintaining a certain level of comfort.

Yes, it's possible to move with an economy class ticket and a backpack. Indeed that's how I moved to the US, but expecting your employees to do this is typically not considered a good way to attract talent.

it's possible and not even bad. Just live in a long stay hotel for a month or two until you find a house. Pay 3-5 k to have all your stuff packed up from old house and dropped at new house. Pay realtor to sell old house.

Simple, it could all be arranged within days.
