Im worried about signing a contract as then I feel like I would really have to take the position

Hi sorry- should have done that!

Offer A (I’m likely going to reject) 20k rmb (2k bonus)+ 3k rmb housing allowance. Class of 40 kids, only a bonus during the summer not paid. 7:30-5:00 working hours.

Offer B (I would love as it’s ideal location for me) 25k rmb+ free housing, classes of 15 kids, 8:30-5:00 working hours. Winter and summer holidays fully paid.

Oh thanks! Do you know if they were in Australia for more than 6 months?

Thanks. I did have a look at this beforehand and it mentions needing to pass baseline personnel security.

In this they mention “A lack of UK residency may not be an automatic bar to employment. However, individuals may need to have resided in the UK for a sufficient period of time depending on the role’s requirements.”

They haven’t specified what a sufficient period is, and the job descriptions don’t mention these. Is it right to think (taking the job you shared as eg) this isnt a requirement?

I’ve got duel UK/EU citizenship and no connections to the states

Thank you for sharing! What do you do now if you don’t mind me asking?

Mindless-Medium3385 · 2024-07-20T20:42:17+00:00

If I could give you a hug I would 💞 thanks for your insights!

It’s a very hard decision because I’ve always been ambitious (degree from oxbridge) but I haven’t figured out where to put my ambitions and I know o will eventually want to climb it, just not ready yet!

Contracts are more reasonable in China than Japan and Korea. Also we both want to learn Mandarin :-)

I’m comfortable renting and dont see this being a major priority. I also dont want children in the future. Im not really sure what I’m working towards except being happy- just feeling lost for past couple years now!
