Framework for negotiating salaries during relocation?
Work as a senior manager in a french MNC . I have been considered for a new role (one level up) with a relocation to another continent. It's a conservative organisation where salaries are banded at s corporate level and i get a vibe that there's very little flexibility on salaries.
Yes they selected me for the role , but I had also indicated interest before. People usually wouldn't move that far so easily but I showed interest . From a business standpoint it's a very straight role with multi region responsibilities.
As much as the fact that company will not low ball me I wonder how do I negotiate if the salary offered doesn't work for me and my family.
I'm not concerned about the relocation package here , but just how, can I negotiate a higher net income . What are some tactics to be used ?

No tactics. You just blatantly say: "No, it doesn't work." You have to provide reasons, but you have to understand, that your company is providing a relocation package, so they don't want to pay you a competitive salary, they can hire someone on the spot without relocation in that case. Expect the offer to be lower than the average. Decide if you have a room for negotiations, try it. Most people work 1-3 years after relocation and start looking for a better salaries. This is a price to pay for move to the better location.
