Public High school

20 hr/wk

including teaching teachers

5,000 RMB (I upped them already they were offering 4,000).

Any better way to negotiate this? They said they are tired of
negotiating at this point

Thanks

A short answer for a short and kinda unspecified info about your working conditions, housing, extras/bonuses besides the actual salary in RMB would be: "No."

What are you getting besides 5k RMB a month?

It really depends where you are. It would be a terrible deal for Shenzhen.

I doubt you will get much more out of them, but 5000 is low for 20 actual hours.

Difficult to say, OP, so much depends on what the prevailing wages in your part of the country are. But I think you could do as well at many universities in China, possibly with fewer hours.

How can you possibly believe that a public school (K-12) has higher tuition than a university ?

it depends on the levels, a top k-12 will have much higher tuition than a lower level uni.


on the op's topic what they are offering is far to low for that much work IMO.

Yes, I agree, I know ... but those are FAR from the majority.

I work in one of those public schools and make nearly 3x what the university pays.
