[Non Sequitur]

Judging from the experience of a Chinese friend who has just moved to another town, agents have 2br apartments that are already let to one person or a couple so the deposit issue might not be so onerous.
My friend only wants the place for 6m to complete a contract, so being tied down to a lengthy agreement wasn't an option.
QD has an active expat association (Google Qingdaoexpat). I'm sure your need isn't novel among the expat community.

Here are the details of the official contract. Sorry for the wall of text but if I did not add all, there may have been some things pertinent that I did not think about or take for granted. I love the bit about the pregnancy clause . .
Any insight on what is reasonable and what is not, pay, hours, clauses etc.

I don't expect your typical weekly timetable will be in this contract but you should get an undertaking on maximum time pw in front of the class.
The 3000 pm is probably OK for accom provided you move into an established apartment and are effectively a sub tenant.
Really OP on your first job it's as much about minimising the downside as getting the perfect position.
Depending on your home country 10000 travel is OK.
City is good. District (Laoshan) ditto.
If you can get the contact hours sorted I'd go with it.

[astrotrain]

[Non Sequitur]

Up front is unusual for China.
You want typical contact hours or a maximum.
Hell they're working school Astro. They should be able to show you what other teachers have on their plates this semester!

[Mikeylikesit114]

Wow, they managed to cut salaries by 40%. That place keeps getting better and better.

[jm21]

The teacher will therefore receive a total RMB 15,000 per month after tax.
老师因此将收到税后每月15,000人民币

Math error or oversight there I think. Shouldn't it be 17060?

Not just AP...if you have a doctorate degree they think you can teach any Uni subject. My uni wanted me to teach international economics...something I learned very little of studying English and law.

[astrotrain]

^^^ That's the after tax amount, they combined the housing stipend with the base to get 15K, still not exactly sure how the tax structure works there but 15 is pretty lousy for 3 subjects. Will make sure the indicated hours are set in the contract or I will bail, can wait till next Feb for new semester. This job is full time hours plus 8to5 with not enough of full time pay. Will see . . .

Uni gigs pay crap but you got all those eyes to explore plus the less housing nonsense.

[astrotrain]

Hey a bit off topic, but you guys in the mainland, are you getting the full story on the Hong Kong protest election campaign issues, do you even know the issue now -in magnitude- how much filtering are you subjected to etc. Just curious.

How r u getting around the filters, VPN? any goods ones u can recommend?

[jm21]

Income tax is very low here. I think the top tax bracket is 10%. That amount for tax seems way too high and with the wording you should be getting 17k after tax I think. It might just be a mistake they made. Or they listed a high salary to get good candidates but can't actually afford that so they're wheedling you down. I pay 6yuan in taxes on 5k.

I got a small 2bdrm as an apt. Was talking with a teacher at another uni here and the teachers just got moved to the top floors of a brand new building with ocean voews which is sweet.

I use strongvpn which works but it's too slow to get streaming video. They had a special going on at the time. Will try a different one once my subscription is up.

I think the uni gigs are nice if you have something to occupy your spare time. I am looking to do high school next year because I just have too much time and nothing to do really. Could use the extra pay too.
