What's new

Has China catched up with Turkey in salaries?

May I ask a question here,

As a engineer, now my salary is 8,000 RMB/ month, i have extra gain 1,000+ RMB/ month, right now total 9,000+ RMB/month. Some my friends earn more.

I just wanna What's the situation compared in Turkey ?

how many years of working experience do you have? that is crucial. Moreover, as an engineer u definitely don't want a job that illegally doesn't pay you various insurance and house mortgage deposit, which will account for at least half of your salary paid by your employer.

Hımm My salary is 9380 RMB, it can increase if i work overtime. Sometimes it is around 10720 RMB but i don't like overtime.

I think, my salary is about avarage. If i had been working in a coorporation, it would be around. 13400.

It is still very little when you compare it to Europe.
I see, it looks Both Turkey and China engineer has the same salary, not much gap.

A normal fresh engineer can earn 5,000~8,000 RMB/month in China.
A experienced engineer take charge of project development can earn 10,000~20,000 RMB/month in China, but it's the highest pay job in China now.

Do business or foreign trades can make u earn 10,000RMB ~ 30,000RMB /month but a BOSS must work harder than a employee.

As far as i knew from some my friends' experience.

Not avarage salary. I'm saying avarage salary for an engineer.

Software engineers earn much more

Aha....

Different sectors make different money. Law and Medicine sectors make much more money then engineers.

They are paying 3500 TL for my cousing who is doing internship for being a judge. When she is officially a Judge, she will earn 10000 Tl per month. 26800 RMB. She also says working in big corporations in Istanbul she can start for 10000 TL for being a attorney.

It is insane ain't it. :)

where is your hometown or its location, may i ask? In beijing, a fresh undergraduate software engineer easily costs the employer 2000USD/month for salary only, but still you have zero possibility to buy an apartment with this amount of money in Beijing. But in third-tier cities of china, with 1200$/month income for single family member, you will live in heaven.

Althought i also write codes to Microprocessor, but im not a software engineer. I graduated from a normal university, and just get a bachelor degree. Better thing is i got CET6 and passed National C programming test, have a Embedded System Engineer Certificate.

In China, finance sector professionals earn more than engineers. Judges make little money coz they work in the government, may be just 500 or 700 dollars per month, similar to a waiter or factory worker, a pity for them.

You are right. Most of my friends(my classmates when we were in college for mater degree) are working in banks in Beijing. Their yearly incomes are RMB200,000-300,000. I'm doing export business and my income is also in same range.
