Hello everyone,

I was wondering what your opinions are as to being an American hire starting their career in the Shanghai office of a global firm? The path is a little untraditional but the opportunity was there and rather than wait around for a position in the states, I decided to start working and gaining experience in the field first. While the pay is considerably lower than what it would be in the US, the experience is without a doubt invaluable. What’s your view though on whether this first job will help or hinder my future career development in the states? Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the great information through this site.
I have a question regarding the differences in recruiting in different offices. On their websites, big companies claim that there’s no difference in the hiring process and that applicants do not increase their chances in applying to other offices.

Do you think they are exaggerating or is there truth to what they claim?

Thank you.

In countries like France and Italy, where it’s nearly impossible to fire someone, the base compensation is tiny and the discretionary bonus is huge. As a result, they work their butts off.
