Head of Content (Malaysia)
I'm currently in a senior position in Malaysia and considering opportunities in New Zealand. After working in Asia for many years, I'm unsure how to accurately assess what compensation level I should be targeting in a new market. I'm struggling with
how to translate my current compensation package to different market standards & find out if my Asia-based experience commands the same premium elsewhere. Anyone out there can help?

The first port of call is to compare the living expenses. This should give you an idea of what salary you should aim at to be comparable to your current pay in Malaysia.
Second is look at salaries offered for the positions you may be interested in.
Between these two, you can have an idea of whether the pay in your target country is sufficient for the role you want and accordingly adjust your expectations.
You can then reach out to peers in these countries to find out your prospects.
