What school did she get her degree from?
Wondering about the story, you see, since the young lady whose situation is chronicled there was expecting $420/month.
And you (in a "rich" Western firm) are paying a top 5% of the class, with English skills to boot, only $250 / month.
So is it the company, the English skills, the city, or the school (or major), that accounts for the discrepancy?
Cheers!
It’s a real example of what the communists refer to as “an exploitation of the worker”. She is being paid FAR below what a dropout burger flipper makes here, works FAR longer hours, and is (mostly, I’m sure) happy to be working.
The fact that she WANTS to work for that wage matters not, because she’s being *EXPLOITED* by the EEEEEVIL capitalists!
We’re in Shanghai, Minhang district. My hire is from Jiao Tong, a good university here in Shanghai, noted for its electrical engineering program.
Most recent graduates can expect to make 1500-2000 RMB per month working for a Chinese company. Some expect to make more when working for a foreign company; the key is to have a firm stance when negotiating, you have to know what the real market rate is.
Wuhan is nowhere NEAR the price you could expect in Beijing or Shanghai (the two expensive markets for educated employees). I think she was misled, unless she has an advanced degree (Master’s or better).
