| I think Jianshuo's blog is by far the best on Shanghai life!! RockeR, if you are a lawyer with Chinese language skills, can I suggest that you consider a job with an international law firm. Try the legal recruitment websites, they are filled with these jobs. UK and US firms are expanding and setting up offices in China at an amazing pace. Depending on your experience and language skills, these firms will be prepared to pay you RMB60K - 80K a month (even more than RMB100K a month if you have 7-8 years' experience), and on top of that 1-2 months' bonus per year. Many of them are also very prestigious and a few years spent with one of these firms would look very good on your CV. You could end up working extremely hard, but the pay is very attractive, so it is worth considering. I know money is not everything but a few years of hard work and you could put aside quite a lot of money. IT skills are in shortage but so are legal skills and you are lucky to be in a position to take advantage of that! Good luck! |
