I’ve been applying regularly for about a month now, sifting through a dizzying variation of teaching positions and salaries. University positions were my primary aim as it’s where I have the most experience, but have since widened my scope.

So far I’ve received a few responses from recruiters that come up as red flags/blacklists whenever I search up their names. I’m still communicating with them simply to understand the process a bit better but I do wonder if I’m missing something in order to point out what’s legit and what’s not, and whether these recruiters also have successful stories and it just depends on whether the designated school was good or not.

I try to gauge the salaries relative to where they are based, though they can range from as low as 9k RMB to 25k RMB pm (I assume any higher than that is a blatant scam for someone with best part of 1-2 years experience or less). Does anyone have a typical idea of what you should expect from A Tier 1/2/3 city when starting out?

I’m also planning on applying directly to schools/universities soon, does anyone know of some regional databases?
