Just a fun question I thought of.

    It’s surprisingly easy to get a teaching job in the PRC and stay for an extended period of time. And I’ve seen several job postings for CS teachers that are waiting to be filled (WeChat is extremely handy for a job search). From what I understand the pay and work hours are much better for teachers than they would be at a tech company.

    Permanent residence is another matter. The good news is that it is becoming easier to get in some municipalities (basically Shanghai). We’ll see how long it takes to expand to the rest of the country.

    • Really? I wonder if there’ll still be a seat/position left for me by the time I go to the PRC. I think I’ll give WeChat a spin sometime.

      Still deciding if I should go to the PRC for my Masters or for my PHD, since my main goal is to find another country to start a new life in, to come out of the closet without worrying about mobs or lgbtphobic family members. Don’t wanna risk it and wind up having to come back…

        The better way is to finish PhD or MsC in your country, then go to China. Chinese schools are oriented toward Chinese people and their customs. But they value a high quality foreign experts. You can go there as a postdoc, even for 6 years, and if you like it, you can stay there at university or a company.
