本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛First, I want to send you my words of congratulations.
Second, I am a new immigrant here WITHOUT a job. So what I say should not be taken too seriously.
Now it is my opinion:
1. Where can you life be more happy? With 120k USD in China or 100k CAD in Canada? I think if you only consider things purely from the economic side, you should go back to China, and this is the first suggestion for you. Of course, going back China also means some sort of unstable. However, I only know about the possible risk of politics is higher in China, nothing else.
2. As you said, you might just want another job change some 4-5 years later and you are worrying that working in China will seize you the possiblility of doing that. I do not know exactly how many years have you been staying here in the North America, but I can tell you that China has a lot of highly payed employees nowadays. Like in the company I worked once for a while, the boss hired a manager for 700k RMB per year, and the company is by no means a large company in China, though it is the best and biggest in its field. See that? And, I think wherever it is, once you are in the proper "circle of people", you are not likely to worry about moving among companies.
3. Quality of life. This is the most difficult part of all. If you prefer a quiet life, stay here. It is slow paced. However, if you prefer a more challenging life, just go back. I guess life in China nowadays is just something like life in the US if you just talk about the tense. If you prefer living in a good environment, stay here. Remember that once back to China, no matter how rich you are, what best living areas are you in, when you are out of your home everyday, you are no different than anybody else. Roads are nearly always jammed in those big cities, always crowded with people, etc; If you prefer best Chinese food everyday, go back of course, why bother stay here? I think there is still one thing to take into consideration: with the high salary you get in China(God, it is really high consider how cheap is daily life in China), you can and definately should save some more than 20k USD as your savings there. So what? You get a more than 100k USD savings 5 years later! That means, even you got lay-off at that time, this money is enough for you to lead a not too luxury life in China for more than some 3 years, a time which is just more than enough for you to find a new job.
Now, my finally suggestion is: I much prefer that you go back than stay. Again, do not take my words too seriously.
Finally, how did you get those chances? Can you give me some suggestions on job-hunting? Thanks. :)更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
