If you are comparing salaries for jobs that provide free housing, yes. |

Wasn't aware we were doing that, since the OP said:

So why did you say:

I suggest avoiding Beijing. While earnings can be higher in Beijing, expenses are higher. I suggest heading for a second- or third-tier city.
I'd seek out a university job where the apartment will be provided. |
Why not a university job in Beijing where the apartment will be provided? Or where the housing allowance covered the 2000 he was talking about? Most places that offer accommodation will offer a housing allowance if you ask. I've known places that offer the same basic salary to have a difference of 2500 RMB a month (one offered 500, the other 3000) in the housing allowance they offered to people who didn't want their accommodation. |

This usually means you have to live on campus and you will have a curfew. |

| it usually means you will live on campus but that doesn't imply there's a curfew. I've never had a curfew, no-one i've ever worked with has had one and if anyone finds a curfew listed under any of the articles in a contract, politely ask the school to remove it. A simple and courteous request usually fixes potential problems like this. |

Also remove any clause that forbids you to travel outside the city or requires you to notify the school of any travel plans you may have.

I am currently looking over a few contracts. What range of salaries allows one to live comfortably in Beijing while still paying a rent of about 2000rmb/month? I was thinking I could get by comfortably on 7000rmb/month.
Any detailed advice would be great!
Thanks. |
could you sound a little bit more annoying?
thanks! |

You somehow managed it, so I suspect he can too. |
