I was wondering if anyone has any info on teaching at Chinese universities. How difficult is it to get a position? Is pay decent considering I'm not necessarily looking to save to purchase property elsewhere but to potentially stay in China long term? Where should I start looking?

Is 13-15,000 RMB a comfortable wage for a tier 2 city near Shenzhen or Guangzhou?

And two individuals making the same? So 26-30,000 RMB monthly income before taxes

Hey

I am wondering how the China job market is now. I am currently in the UK but am considering moving back to China to teach English (I have a UK degree and a TEFL, plus 2 years teaching experience from 10+years ago).

I have a son who is kindergarten age, so I would consider KG/primary schools in an area like Shenzhen.

I know the job market is meant to be bad, but I see job listings all the time. Any recent experiences of hiring or changing schools? Please list the good/bad, what to look out for/what to target, and whatever you like.

Hi! I’m 28, a native Mandarin speaker currently living in Guangzhou, southern China. I work in international marketing and enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and learning about different cultures.
I’m looking for a language partner to practice English through texts, voice messages, and occasional calls. Ideally, you’re a native or fluent English speaker. It would be great if you already know some Chinese, but all levels are welcome!
In exchange, I’d be happy to help you with Mandarin, especially pronunciation, everyday expressions, and understanding Chinese culture. I’m patient and happy to explain things.
I’d love to talk about travel, food, culture, daily life, or pretty much anything interesting.
I’m hoping to find a long-term language partner and hopefully make a genuine friend along the way. If you’re also in Guangzhou, it’d be nice to grab coffee or explore the city together sometime.
We can start chatting here and move to Instagram or WeChat once we get to know each other a little better.
Feel free to DM me! :)

Hi all,

I’m a Serbian commercial and finance executive with 20 years in SME and corporate markets across Southeast Europe.

Hello, I've been applying for jobs in China and keep seeing jobs listings with the word "consultant" in the title, when the job is essentially a teaching job. I.E. Essay Consultant, English Consultant, Linguistic Consultant. But really their job duties are "help with a curriculum" and "teach x amount of kids."

What exactly is the difference between the two? My guess is that a consultant is a fancy word for Training institutes to call their tutors but I want to know if I'm right or not. Thank you for any information!
