Received another job offer to teach English in China

[optimisticzoomer]

They all come with downsides tho
For graduates without experience or a teaching license, it’s either kindergarten or a training centre. Training centres offer awful holidays but no one wants to work in a kindergarten

This one is 19k RMB (around £2000) a month for around 20 hours a week. During the summer the workload increases

20 days holiday (including all public holidays, so around 7 days of your own holiday)

3-12 year olds. You have to act like a jester for the young ones

Tier 3 city (around 2 million metro population). This means it would be harder to meet foreigners than in larger cities. Oh well, I didn’t meet people outside of work in my last job in UK anyway. My friends are from uni.

Which leads me to the other factor, which is going abroad for a year with barely any holiday, so probably not coming back to UK. Might make it difficult to maintain friendships. I say this, but I hadn’t seen any of my uni friends for 2 years until recently, and nothing really changed.

The other thing is whether I accept it or try and find a better offer (e.g. more holiday), but that’s not guaranteed.

Woah, mirin hard bhai! Getting job offers left and right, this is the power of JBW. Once I become licensed, they would still refuse to hire me because I'm brown. Sooper dooper brootal. It isn't an ideal job, but at least the pay is good. And it's only for a year, maybe you can find a better workplace after your year has concluded. Make sure to start networking so that you can get another job while in China.

Yeah, the uni positions usually start opening up after a couple of years experience. Some maybe after a year, others maybe after two years + a masters. Uni jobs are usually like £1300 a month but with free housing and 12-15 hours a week of low stress work

Tier 3 city? Good luck bhai
It’s almost impossible for me to navigate in a Tier 1 city without a fucking translator in hand

Good luck man, sounds like a good deal. I don't want to move out of Europe, otherwise I would have considered it
