feedback: get a uni job in a smaller city, or preferably a vocational school.

z-visa and accommodations provided. no probation, no silly clauses (that
can't be negotiated out), no 3-kids-complained rule.

find yourself a light workload, 12 hours per week, which would be 6
classes, each consisting of two 45-minute blocks. if lucky, you can
repeat some (or all) of the classes each week, cutting down on lesson
plans.

you'll have abundancies of time to research lesson plans, lots of opportunity
to refine your technique. the interwebs has a gazillion ready-made lesson
plans available for download. find 'em, use 'em.

you don't need to physically reside in shenzhen. you'll get plenty of
vacation time to visit. better to find a more relaxed area, with less
pollution and traffic, to live in.


QFT. Thread over.

OP, follow this advice if you haven't already.


Good to see the 'least downside' mantra for assessing positions is getting through.
Time enough to go for riskier but better paid options in Y2 and beyond.
