In Shanghai China, you will meet other immigrants from all walks of life and at all stages of their stay in Shanghai. There is always a stage in the development of work in Shanghai, from the lowest level of work to the assignment of senior jobs in villas. During this period, we have listed four symbolic stages for expat jobs in Shanghai.
1. Young teachers
These 20-year-olds, with fresh degrees in their hands, line up to teach. The unfortunate people are finally cheated by the tutorial center because they spend too much time working and pay too little. Smart people find a sweet job, which makes them have classes a few times a week, yawn, sing, and then go back to bed (and then they stay at work forever, because who won’t?) They will be paid. These immigrants have evolved from university dormitory life to teacher dormitory life in Shanghai.
During this period of time, the place where immigrants often go is to travel to Long Beach Island. After taking part in work, you should realize that you can’t drink and enjoy school life as before. As a teacher, try to keep in touch with students and maintain a good teacher-student relationship.
2. Young professionals
Young people in their 20s and 30s work in magazines, international schools, and start-ups. These foreigners can usually be found in first-tier cities like Shanghai. People often find themselves riding expensive stationary gear bikes with little garbage around the corner, jumping around at amazing speeds, and opening strange businesses, such as video game bars and cheese grills (which is true). This period of immigrant life is characterized by spending too much money on alcohol and cheese, going all over the country to “discover the real China.”. This is a truly independent era, a kind of flushing.
3. Professionals
This is a foreigner in a suit. These days, they are actually hard to find. They usually spend half a year in China and half a year in a city where they can live. These are the actual “immigrants” in the traditional sense. Men and women with Western salaries. Shanghai, China is trying to attract more foreigners to work in Shanghai.
This part of the expatriate’s life in Shanghai is characterized by the purchase of air purifiers for their minimalist urban apartments, and the purchase of Starbucks every day, because they can eat real exquisite salads. The economy is getting better and the income is higher and higher.
4. Family foreigners
There’s a family of professionals. Most of the time, their companies put them in their villas very well, which looks very enviable because of the high prices in China. They send their children to international schools to study. They can ramble around the city with their families on weekends without economic worries.
This period of expatriate life in Shanghai is characterized by the purchase of more daily necessities for its simple villa to improve the quality of daily life, putting cherios and goat cheese in the kitchen, and participating in the daily raising of young children. This is a period of extreme comfort.
