Do you use agents? Are they worth it? I’m young and all this stuff might be easier if an agent handles it, but they take some of your salary right?

@viewpointabroad

4 күн бұрын

Agents don't take part of your salary, that was the old way from like 12-15 years ago. that's no longer in practice. Now the school will pay the agent a 1x payment equivalent to the teacher salary.

You mentioned about being a white dude there’s limitless opportunities in China, I’m assuming they like to have diversities in their company? What about being Asian Americans? What types of jobs that are usually looking for foreigners other than the education field?

@@tonyhaoo8146 for other field being white isn’t really mandatory. I have several friends who are black / Asian working as actors in the film and tv industry and I have some friends also working in some big companies doing various things such as H. R. ,copywriters, internal communications ( newsletters and memos ) social media specialist for Chinese companies that handle their foreign accounts on X and tik tok. It really depends on your skills. I know a couple Asian Americans also working in education ( but it’s a bit harder to earn a typical foreign salary as they generally look for white people ) education is the easiest way to get your foot in the door though and then seek other opportunities after you get in.
