To be honest, I don’t like working for foreign companies

To be honest, I don’t like working for foreign companies; after all, they come to China with the aim of making money! Let me talk about my views on foreign-funded enterprises. When I first graduated, I was also searching for a job everywhere. I was determined to work for a multinational company, always thinking that the salaries there were high; it’s only now that I realize this view was somewhat biased. Let’s use an example: if a foreign-owned company deposits all the money into your salary account, you actually don’t get that much benefit from it. I have been working for a foreign company for several years; my salary before taxes is 9K, which seems like a lot, but in reality, the amount I actually receive is less than 6.7K. Most of the amount in the middle has been taxed as income tax. Compared to those in some state-owned enterprises who earn 5K, I’m still not as well off as them. State-owned enterprises can find many ways to avoid taxes, and they also give out red envelopes during holidays; in fact, their total earnings for a year are more than mine. The work pressure is much less than before. Look at me – I’m exhausted all year long, I never manage to use up all my annual leave, and I voluntarily work overtime on weekends as well. So I compare various types of companies: 1: Large state-owned enterprises (especially those under the central government); mid-level managers there should earn around over a hundred thousand per year. 2: Private enterprises with potential for growth should master skills and start their own businesses ； 3: If there’s no other choice, then work for a foreign-funded company – that’s just my personal opinion!
