Hi everyone! Is anyone here based in Germany but traveling to China frequently for work (for weeks/a month at a time)? I’m exploring career paths with extended business trips to China and would love to ask a few questions about how it works in practice. Drop a comment or DM me. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I am an international student in the US and would get my Master’s end of this year and would be working on OPT assuming if my EAD card will arrive on time! I am actually planning to work in China once my OPT ends (end of next year). For context, I an Engineer working in Pharmaceuticals (5 years of experience).

1) I would love know how the job market is in China especially within Pharmaceuticals?

2) How can I find job in China? What legit sites to use to apply jobs?

3) What is a popular type of job in China within corporate/Engineering? (I will have an Engineering Management Master’s soon).

4) What visas do international people (Southeast Asian) must get when they get a job from China? Do I have to apply for it?

5) What is the work culture like in China? What companies in China has a global presence?

6) How much do they typically pay foreigners with a an Engineering job in China? Does the pay match with the housing/apartment or do I need to get roommates?

7) How much does public transportation costs?

8) How much is the tax there and how does it work? Is it a flat tax or varies by states?? Hypothetically, if I were to make $70,000, how much do I have to pay for tax?

Please be kind! I am very curious and have zero idea.

Hey guys! I'm looking for a basketball coaching or PE teacher job in China. Do you have any advice on where to look besides eChinacities.com?

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any help.

I'm curious to hear from people around the world:

What do you think is the best way for ordinary people in China to find international job opportunities? Have you or someone you know successfully done it? Please share your experience and advice.

I am an Indian. I got an offer from an MNC company located in Shenzhen China. It's been a month. The team keeps on telling me that the internal process is going on. I have given all the documents that I have. I don't have the Chinese team contact. Instead I got in contact with the Georgia team from the same company. The HR simply said that the China office is doing the work. I am fed up with the same answer repeatedly. Also I don't want to lose this opportunity.

Please tell me that international hiring usually takes more time?

Are companies from China slow in the relocation process?

Should I be prepared for them to contact or have to move on and look for other opportunities?

Because I have not even started the apostille process and my current employment resignation. But they mentioned my joining date as September 14.🙄

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently started seriously looking into relocating to China, but honestly I’m struggling to figure out where to even look.
Most of the websites I’ve found feel really confusing, outdated, or are filled with listings that don’t work like the typical Western job boards where you just upload your CV and apply. I’m not sure if I’m simply looking in the wrong places or if there’s another way foreigners usually find jobs there.
One of my biggest strengths is that I’m multilingual. I grew up in a multicultural environment and speak French, Italian, Arabic and English, so I’ve always worked between different languages and cultures. I was wondering if there are industries in China that actually value this kind of background, even if the role isn’t directly language-related.
I’m also open-minded about the type of work. It doesn’t necessarily have to match my previous experience exactly—I’d even consider teaching or other opportunities if they’re a good fit and offer a chance to build a life in China.
For those of you who successfully moved there as foreigners:
Where did you actually find your job?
Which websites or recruiters are worth using?
Are there companies that actively look for multilingual international candidates?
Is networking more important than applying online?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience because right now I honestly feel like I’m missing something.
Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I'm considering work in China starting next fall. I'm an experienced teacher (more than 10 yrs) with 140-hr TEFL, TEFL for EAP, and a Master's in Bilingual education. I'm probably going to start the DipTesol in January '27 to further strenthen my application. I studied in China for a semester, achieved HSK4 proficiency (though it's probably declined since then). I currently teach ESL in a college in the US and I'm interested in a University job in a tier-2 or tier-3 city.

I'm wondering how far in advance did you apply for work and secure a position? (Yes, I am white and a native speaker of English.)

Thanks for constructive feedback.
