Folks,
Someone has set up a new website where you can compare teacher salaries in various places/positions across China. If you're looking for work, it can help you negotiate for your salary. If you already have a teaching job, fill out the survey (it's anonymous) to help out other folks.
that's a pretty good idea... why hasn't this been done before?
that site is crying out for a map-based infographic (infocartograph?) of some sort
Hey, thanks for the link. I'm the guy who put that site together. Like Xiefei says, the site's completely anonymous and also completely free.
I have plans to dramatically improve the site over the next few months...I didn't want to dedicate too much time for it until I saw if people would be interested in it or not. It's only been live since Saturday and has already gotten a pretty good amount of traffic, so it is something that I'll start dedicating time (and probably a bit of money) to improving.
Like hedgepig suggests, I'd like to get a map interface on there as well as a "Is this a good salary" wizard that will let new teachers know if the salary they are being offered is a good one.
Any other suggestions or feedback is welcome. I've put the site together basically just as a way to help out the FT community in China – it's so hard to find reliable information about pay that it seemed like this was needed.
Cheers!
You're the man! Keep up the good work!
the link is dead today. what happened?
Got it up and running but i see Beijing is 4500 rmb. I don't know a single person who makes this unless they are working about 5-7 hours a week only. ive pulled 10,000 rmb on average a month without working a sweat at all.
and 150 an hour is for someone who hasn't been here very long. 200 is going rate now.
Looks ok, but there is a lot more than salary and working hours to consider. A small comment section for things like curriculum provided, and scheduling (or complete lack thereof) would be good. Not to mention insurance and housing accommodations.
I mean on the table. Maybe a small checkbox that's displayed for insurance, and housing.
Madguitarist 200/hr is the norm for which kind of teaching and workplace? In kunming?
