Research Scientist salary in Shanghai, China

Post new topic

Hi all,

I wanted to ask what is a good salary for a fresh European PhD graduate (27 years old-Male) from a European Country in Shanghai, China?
It seems that I will have the opportunity to move to Shanghai as an Expat and I might need to negotiate a salary, with a big chemical company which has its HQ in Europe.
Since I have no idea what to expect from a salary perspective and the cost of living (accommodation, health care etc.) in Shanghai, I thought it would be a good idea to ask on this forum for more information and advice.
Thank you all in advance for your input.

hi  there,
   for fresh gradate doctor, package for locals are about 200-300k RMB,
   for local graduate, about 15-20% is exacted from salary for medical/endowment/unemployment/maternity  insurance, u can negoticate with employer.
   and also life fee: 5k~for house and 2k for food.

  for suggestion you could charge 400k-500k, good luck.
