QUOTE(evilbun @ Mar 20 2016, 11:58 PM) OH and just FYI, no point hiding my salary and how I spend it. So it goes like this: (RMB) Salary = 5,000 Rent + Electric + Utlity + Internet = 900 Transport Card = 100 Call and Data Plan (1GB) = 30 Food = 60/day = 1,800 Toiletries = 100 Hair cut = 30 Shopping = 500 Total = 3,460 Balance (Saving) = 1,540 which is approx. MYR970Of course, this is just based on my 5K salary. Thing is, with 5K RMB salary, I am able to save RM970 a month. You can definitely stretch that based on your lifestyle. Some of my friends who earn RM4K don't even save RM500 per month. Wow its really cheap in Guangzhou. I am in Shanghai now, and rent alone costs me 4500. And 4500 is considered "cheap" unless you share with other people. Single room apartments in the city center are 7k and above |

QUOTE(evilbun @ Mar 20 2016, 11:49 PM) IT job I think easy. But your IT level have to be quite high. Cuz the people here are very tech savvy. In terms of salary wise: I have a friend here working as UI design. She's getting RMB6k/month. Fresh grads who go into banking/accounting/admin may start off with RMB2.5k/month. I personally am in event management and am at RMB5k/month. (1 year exp) My brother is in HSBC. 2 years exp. RMB10k/month. Don't expect salaries here to be very high. Unless of course, you work with MNCs, then it's a different story. For MNCs in Shanghai, last i heard starting pays for their graduate programs pay between 10-15K. 5 years experience you can get between 25-35k |

QUOTE(joefacker @ Mar 22 2016, 09:01 AM) Not wanting to sound stupid but is it a must to read and write in Chinese if one were to work over there? I can speak Mandarin fairly well but absolute zero when it comes to reading and writing. Depends on company and what role you are in. If you deal with locals you will need to know how to write and read in chinese. I can read and write Chinese but my job does not require it as I deal with internal staff, not external clients |

QUOTE(LovelyPotato @ Apr 7 2016, 08:25 AM) Not sure yet, but i think their main factory will be in Guangzhou as well, meanwhile HQ stationed in HK. How's life there? Similar to KL? I heard the living cost there is quite low and can easily save quite some money Not sure about Guangzhou, but Shanghai is on par, if not more expensive than Singapore. If you are posted to Shanghai, please make sure you are adequately compensated. Also the tax rate here is higher than Malaysia |

QUOTE(shioks @ Apr 5 2017, 09:39 PM) How much pay would be worthwhile to work in China then?  Other than Shenzhen, would you consider Shanghai or Beijing as these two cities are tier one cities? For a person earning around rm 3k in Malaysia, I would not settle for anything less than 15k rmb if I am working in shanghai or Beijing |

QUOTE(shioks @ Apr 6 2017, 04:04 PM) Is RMB15k sufficient to survive in Shanghai or Beijing taking into consideration of the expensive accommodation costs? Rental in shanghai is about 4-5k rmb for a 1br apartment in pudong and about 6-8k nearer to city center in puxi. So 15k should be enough. |
