When you say they are "taking you to BA" is this a US company with operations in Argentina, or a local Argentine company? If its a US company I assume before you accepted said job you made sure you would:
1. Be paid in USD, hopefully with a local stipend in Pesos as well (or paying for your housing), and that things get adjusted properly for inflation of 40% annually
2. That the company would handle all the costs and headaches of VISA/immigration issues as you legally cannot work here on a tourist VISA. You can arrive on a tourist VISA and start working, but you need to get your paperwork and temp residency sorted out within 90 days...
3. That you know what paperwork you need for the above (birth certs, FBI background check, all apostilled etc..)
4. That you negotiated to be able to move your furniture and other items, or that the company will provide a relocation $ amount for you to purchase stuff here (which is more expensive than in the U.S, and lower quality) I would ask for the money, getting stuff shipped here is a whole other headache best avoided
5. That the company will provide someone to help with housing search and costs, and act as a guarantor.
6. That the company will pay or provide someone to handle your US and Arg tax returns, as they are complicated.
7. That you have enough cash on hand in $100 USD bills to get through a few months. You can reload in Uruguay as needed, or negotiate for a trip home once a year that your company pays for.
8. That the company will provide and cover cost for health insurance, both here in Arg and in the US.
I see lots of people come down here to work at a subsidiary of their US company, and they fail to negotiate all of this stuff prior to arriving in BA...once you are here, you cant go back and ask for more, so make sure you ask now. There are lots of things here that are more complicated than the US, and not speaking Spanish increases the complexity 10 fold.
