 |

Hi to every one,
I have been offered a Job position as a verification engineer in a semiconductor company located in Xian,China. I would like to know about the living expenses per month, adjusting to the environment in Xian. They have specified a salary of 6,500 RMB per month in the offer letter.
I have done my MS in VLSI and i am just out of my university...is that worthy enough to take up that job...????
Whats u r opinion guys...???
Regrads,

Lucky you!
Wish I could get a job in Xi'an, instead I am stuck in a little village 8 hours north West of Xian!! I try and go as much as I can......
Anyway, do they provide accomodation? You didn't mention this. As long as they pay accom you'll be fine, you're getting paid more than me! Xian is a wonderful city, so much to see and do, KFC, Maccas, K Coffee (always next to KFC), real Western food (in the department store west of the Bell Tower, entry via subway)......warning though, the air is BAD. Take a gas mask with you. Also watch for hawkers and beggers on the street (especially the 2-3 year old kids!) and NEVER take your eyes off your bag with money/ passport in it! Xian is a great central place in China, you can get almost anywhere from this city, big train station, bus station, airport (a little way out of the city though!). I love Xian and will really miss it when I go home at the end of the year!
Good luck, hope the job isn't too far out of the city! You'll love it! |

| Not much, but this doesn't sound like too good pay for a western engineer... |
