Hey there. This section lacks of info of working in China.
Just got offered to work in Shenzhen, China but most probably non-managerial position. Could be Assistant Manager or lower by 1 tier. Would like to hear tips/opinions of working in Tongsan lel. I'm quite excited yet scared bcos of going so far. How much should I expect of my salary package in order to survive there? Accommodation will be provided by the company, (a SOHO or studio) |

QUOTE(coolstore @ Feb 15 2017, 11:57 AM) oh, did the boss or top management knows about his 2nd biz besides of current job, generally employment contract prohibits such hidden 2nd biz by employee unless got approval by company in advance. I'm not sure about but they have known each other for many years. He is resigning by April.why didn't he juz go there and leave current job since he is the boss? did he feel still need a local 'backup plan' in case cn biz got problem? if like that seems u are at greater risk than him, if his cn biz face problem juz close down then u need back to malaysia to find job again? I think he started the business while he's the boss. That's what I had in my mind. Scared of time wasted overseas then come back cannot find job. But I don't think the company will close down so soon. QUOTE(zarksentinel @ Feb 15 2017, 02:57 PM) if it's a mnc in china, you can go ahead on exposure point of view. salary package wise you need to see what's their offer . expenses in Shenzhen is not cheap nor too exp like in shanghai and beijing. do some study on the expenses with the salary package they offered , weight it yourself. It's not a mnc. Just a small company of <20 people.Company is a vendor/supplier to a big electronic company. Company will have a joint-venture with another MNC company for project/business soon. One of the reason, boss needed someone that he can trust to help him over there. Thanks! I'm looking forward to discuss about my salary package in details with my boss. Somehow when we talked over the phone, he did mentioned RMB 5000 + allowances. Kinda low tho. QUOTE(stevenkkt @ Feb 17 2017, 10:33 AM) The working scene in Shenzhen can be quite hectic. I got a Taiwanese friend who just left Shenzhen after spending about 30 months there. He was a senior engineer in some electronic firm, pay was not bad but the work is a BIG FULL load too. Yes, that's what I'm told. Competition is everywhere. Gotta hustle hard or else fall behind.QUOTE(Win Win Inspiration @ Feb 17 2017, 02:21 PM) My friend in China shared with me that the rental for a normal apartment costs approximately 4,000 RMB/month. Whoa! That's approx. RM2,500. Luckily, a studio will be provided but i guess it will be very small. Maybe similar to HK one?  I'm not sure how much the taxes (I assume it does) will be on the salaries for expats and allowances will be taxable. |
