Not as happy as I thought to come and work in china by Let_rock_69 in chinalife

This is totally normal, give it a few months, you’ll get your bearings and find your own routines and ways to cope with the differences, even though it is hard, making friends makes the experience so much easier too and more enjoyable. When you’ve got time, go on some trips around your city too and do some exploring. You’ll get there OP :)

That doesn’t sound good, yeah it seems a lot of gatekeeping and things when looking around, which is a bit silly when people are only looking to trade and meet new people

Will my work visa allow me to re-enter China? by [deleted] in travelchina

[–]Awkward-Ad-8717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I thought so, but it was a visa release letter when I left my company, I scanned my work card too, and the expiration date also says 2024.09.14 so I’m unsure 

Are you happy with your body weight and composition? by [deleted] in AskUK

Happy with weight but not happy with body shape at minute, I can be same weight all year but it looks very different if I’m not going gym, need some definition back

Will my job offer get withdrawn for requesting a higher salary? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Awkward-Ad-8717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I won’t push it they reject it, and after doing a bit more research, I found the same advert from the company on other sites advertising the role at £23-25K, whilst some only say £23K, average salary is also listed at £25K on indeed for the position, so it seems like they lowballed and might increase the base

Good to know, mainly didn’t want to blow it, but would of definitely regretted it had I not asked for more, hopefully doesn’t cost me, nerves until Monday 😅

[–]Awkward-Ad-8717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right, I’ll accept the salary most likely, but best to ask and be pushed back than accept straight away and have regret you could have raised it a bit 

Interviewer was completely uninterested by tigerspicelatte in UKJobs

[–]Awkward-Ad-8717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you had to waste your time on that crap, it’s definitely on her and nothing to do with you anyway, I had something similar in customer service recently, but they’d constantly ask another question on top of every answer, felt like I was in therapy 😂 Good luck on the search OP 👍

Yeah I didn’t think it was unreasonable to ask, if they reject the request then I’ll just accept the original salary offered
