I've been working here for over four months now. SIFLS is far from a perfect school, but there is no such thing as perfection no matter where you teach. I have been very satisfied with the way I have been treated and never have felt any discrimination here due to my foreign status. In fact, I feel respected by the students and the Chinese teachers and staff alike. If the people posting here have problems with adapting to schedule changes or earning respect from others, it sounds like a personal problem and maybe they need to find another profession, because if you have problems here, you obviously have caused them yourself. I live in a nice one bedroom apartment that has problems on occasion (for example, my hot water heater broke last week), but the people here are willing to help (had it fixed the next day). The students are top notch learners, the facilities are modern (for China), and the wages are good for the cost of living here. Yes, there are some foreign teachers here who will complain about everything. They probably should stayed home because they are obviously not mature enough nor have the open-mind required to be immersed in another culture, but as long as you set up a life here outside of work, make friends with the Chinese who live here, and work hard at the art of teaching, the rewards are great. Considering that SIFLS hires many foreign teachers and only a few have been dissatisfied, I think you can assume that this is a pretty good place to work in China. Once again, this place is not perfect by any means, but if you are a good worker and have an open mind towards different cultures and are prepared to deal with some communication difficulties, you couldn't find a better experience. Also do not believe that lie about this place being remote. There is many things to do and services to use (such as many many stores) that are within walking distance of this campus. The rest of the city is available cheaply by taxi or bus (or buy an e-bike). Happy hunting...
