Hey,

I'm interested in coming to China to work (particularly interested in Shanghai) and am wondering whether or not my MA TESOL will be of much value for securing 'better' university positions. I recall reading ages ago that many employers did not see much added value (in comparison to just a non-related BA). Perhaps things have changed.

Cheers.

It depends. If you are looking for a public university job, it is doubtful you will need an MA, though one may get you a slightly higher salary. However, if you are thinking of something in a joint venture uni or somewhere like NYU in Shanghai you will need an MA.

Cheers. I'm guessing those would be fairly competitive even with the MA

Competitive ... yes and no. Some of the sino-western collaboration are very eager to secure people with the right qualifications and experience.
