might be some time before the economy gets back to normal, that will be the best chance for you to find a job, right now people will rather give the jobs to passport holders rather than to go through the trouble to bring you over

Since you are Chinese person..therefore there are chances that you will be hired by European company in China but low chances that you will be transferred to Europe....

 

Now second scenario: If you are working for a Chinese company in China and if they have have some business in Europe..then there are more chances that you will travel to Europe (it depends upon your overseas business or client handling experience).

As far as salary is concerned..you will get daily allowance in addition with your local salary in China..

Victoria1987:

I changed many jobs,I took a holiday off to relax.I wanna pick up the job I likes,also which I have experience and did quite well before.(export sales) I saw many chinese companies post  online they have offices in Europe.Some will send the good export sales to European offices.But a peson  told me usually the people sent to European office will get lower salaries than local people,and prices in Europe are higher,almost no money to live a luxury life.

Jnusb416:

Are you seriously asking this question because you want to live a luxurious life? You know, the easiest way to that is to marry a rich guy. Most people in the world do not live in luxury. Most Americans are poor or middle class, same with Europeans. Just because people live in a different country does not mean they are rich.

This is only a question your employer can tell you.

 

Every company is different,  every job is different, everyones skill sets are different.

 

This is a question you need to ask during an interview or after you get hired.  It's not something a stranger who has no idea what company your talking about or what their finincal/business needs are can answer for you.

I don't know what type of work you do or what company you work for or weither or not they need employees in their Europe offices so I can't answer this. 

 

But what I can tell you is that I use to work for an American company that had offices all over the world.  A lot of times people in our Beijing office or our offices in Brazil would want to come work in our American offices.  It never happened.

 

However if someone from our American office asked to work in our Beijing office they would usually agree. But you would get a decrease in salary since the cost of living is cheaper in China. 

 

So to answer your question.... more times than not, no Chinese people aren't sent to other offices.  UNLESS they are highly skilled and can do a job that no one in the other office can do.  "Working hard" usually isn't enough.

I doubt that 'working hard'' is really the issue.

 

- Do you have transferable skills that are extremely difficult or impossible to replicate?

- Do you have extremely good contacts in both the company's other country of operation and your own?

- Do you have specific and useful experience doing something (for example, implementing a major new strategy, or setting up a new factory), the company needs to be repeated in a new place?

- Are you highly qualified in a field that has a shortage of qualified people?

- Do you already hold a high-level management position with the company?

 

If you can't answer at least two of those question with a 'yes', then it's very doubtful that a company would go to the effort and expense of sending you to work in a new country.  Sorry.
