Q: Working in Chinese company - no intellectual challenge?

I'm obviously generalizing, but do you feel, from personal experience and those of friends, that there's so much less room to maneuver and make a difference in a Chinese company. Hierarchic system hinders any creativity, employees are afraid of disagreeing with superiors even though their ideas could very well be amazing...

 

Just seems like intellectually, it's a lot less stimulating working in China.

 

Are companies like Baidu, Sina Weibo, etc. much more forward thinking in that respect?

Any company that has a large bureaucracy makes it difficult to do anything that will show a significant achievement regardless of the country the company is in.

 

It all depends on the management type and how open they are to quick action and taking risks.

 

If you really want to have an impact, it is probably better to work for a startup rather than an established entity.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
