?? China has by far the cheapest hospitals of any place I've ever lived in or even heard of.
Depends again what you are in for. Heck, I'm Canadian so it all seems pricey to me.  |

Got an offer from a uni in Beijing which sounds very low. Just want a confirmation from you guys:
16 hours/week, 7500 RMB, on campus housing
Commute from main campus (Ring 3) to branch campus (suburban area). Transportation provided by uni. Seems like transport might take way too long. Might be best to go by subway depending on the distance.
No pay during February and August.
With foreigner and income tax subtracted, this seems like a horrific offer by Beijing standards. Can somebody confirm or deny this?
They are also pretty aggressive with paperwork. They want all of my paperwork in English *and* Chinese. Seems that they are operating on a tight schedule as I guess that their original selection dropped out at the last second.
I am on the brink of signing a contract with a uni in Wuhan. Definitely a worse deal objectively, but compare it to cost of living and it isn't so bad. Plus, the Wuhan contract is one term and not two like the Beijing contract. |
This is a good offer for a uni. You might think that universities in Beijing would pay more because of the higher costs of living, but actually many pay less because so many foreigners want to live there. Really anything over 6k for a uni job is good IMO, though not getting paid for Feb is bad. |
