Dos

That is exactly my point. We ALL want to be happy with what we earn in China. The fact is most FT's salaries in China are negotiable. In fact many schools state that on their job adverts. Maybe your school does too.

Assuming you are the same Dos, I seem to remember you previously posting on this forum that you were earning considerably more than 4000 RMB at your school. Guessing that your salary is relatively high, no wonder you're happy! You're entitled to be.

See above point. Are you saying here that no FT has the right to negotiate for a higher salary, and that he must accept the first offer he receives every time?

I'm here already Dos. Have been for nearly three years, and plan on staying as long as I like. If you don't like, or don't feel inclined to support your fellow teachers out here, then maybe you should go back.

Oops!, sorry you're not a teacher, you're a Dos!
It explains a lot!
