Q: Hi. What are the pro's and con's of working and living in Shanghai?

I've been applying for university jobs (for next semester) in cities close to Shanghai. * Recently, a couple of Chinese folks have suggested that I apply for work in Shanghai. * So, what you think?

 

Many thanks,

Mr. Uni.

1. The Shanghai uni market is highly, highly competitive.  I hope that your academic credentials are on that level.  If you were to seek employment in a LTC, then things would change considerably.

 

2.  University wages in Shanghai are not particularly high, and the best uni's in Shanghai know that they will garner a lot of applicants and the wages that they offer tend to be even lower.

 

3.  Why would anyone turn down a decent, well-paying job in Shanghai?  Sure, it's huge, crowded and the like, but it has so, so, so much going for it, 24 hours a day, nonstop.

I guess it depends on what you want in your life

It probably would look good on your CV in the future

and it is a diverse city so little chance of getting board with it

If you like the big city life and can afford to do it then go for it if is what you want

best of luck

The pros is it's a clean and beautiful place to live. The con that I can think of is that it is still pretty costly to live there just like a Beijing or Hong Kong.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
