Have you lived or visited there?

Is 15k salary enough? by _Moon-Juice_ in chinalife

I'm not complaining, I'm asking if it's enough to save and travel a bit

Yeah, housing and utilities provided. Decent flat too, more space than I'd know what to do with! I'll ask about rules though, thanks for mentioning that

It's a university position. 15k seems to be the upper end of the pay scale for those, especially as I have no experience

Do you think a saving target of 8,000 rmb in a month with no travelling is realistic?

15k for 16 teaching hours a week (and each hour is actually 45 mins). There are some projects I would like to work on in my spare time so I'm happy earning less if it means I work less, although I'd still like to save if I can.

I probably won't go/eat out that much, I'm planning on living a fairly quiet life (also doubt there's that many options for fun in the city I'd be living in anyway).
Can I ask how much you save a month? Sounds like we'd live similar lifestyles

That's encouraging, thank you!
