Is 6000RMB a good salary in Xinjiang

w. mei
#1
I got an offer from Shihezi University in Xinjiang with a monthly salary of 6k RMB and free accommodation. What kind of lifestyle would I be able to afford? I was being told that the living cost there is cheap, but the salary seems a bit too low, isn't it? Anyone has any idea on this?

you can get a job with 20-30.000rmb easy. Adds are everywhere. If you have a bachelor in English . Don't accept anything less than 15.000rmb, with paid vacation, rent and flight ticket reimbursement, and visa assistance.

A fact you need to know guys is that Universities offer the lowest salary due to their less teaching hours and less stress. Other types of schools are higher but I believe that you still can negotiate it, you can reach 10K.
