Hi there,

I just saw your big WARNING message and was reading through it. Good points for sure! I remember a few years ago I was negotiating with a company called BSK. I didn't end up signing up with them because of a post on another site. I'll quote it.

"I had a personal experience with a school/company called, "Pacican BSK" like this... the owner of the company is a former member of the education board and is able to bribe the immigration police in Shanghai. I had signed a contract there but not gotten a work visa or been paid, yet. I decided that the organization, pay, and situation is quite poor at Pacican, so I told them I quit... Next thing I know, the police are calling me in to tell me that Pacican called the police to report me as working on a tourist visa -- something that Pacican demanded i do in the first place! The police said if I changed my mind about quitting work there and went back to Pacican, I would not be deported for working on a tourist visa... but my other choice was to be deported."

I ended up working for Wall Street. Lots of work, but solid company.
