Girls spend 2 million yuan to study abroad in 6 years and provide a basic salary of 2,000 yuan when they return home.
International students, like fresh graduates from domestic universities, should attend enterprise job fairs to squeeze out the talent market. There is even a well-known enterprise HR (Human Resources Manager) who said: Now the graduate students who return to China are not as good as the undergraduates in 985 universities! Returnees have depreciated.
The reporter interviewed 50 returnees randomly in Hangzhou last week and found that returnees were not satisfied with their salaries, with 28% starting at less than 6,000 yuan and the lowest at 3,500 yuan. Returnees with a starting salary of 6000-8000 yuan account for the most, accounting for 40%. This figure is similar to the starting salary of many college graduates in Hangzhou.
Corresponding to this embarrassing salary is the huge investment of the family in studying abroad. Studying abroad, including tuition and living expenses, costs 200,000-300,000 yuan a year, which is basically the starting price, and the cost will increase year by year.
In 2007, the total number of overseas students in China was 6.5438+0.44 million, and the total number of returned students was 44,000. By 20 16, the total number of people studying abroad is 544,500. In 20 16, the total number of returned overseas students was 432,500.
study abroad
After graduating from Gao Chong, I went to Australia to study.
The family sold the only house to make up the tuition.
Return to China after 6 years.
The employer only offers a minimum basic salary of 2000 yuan.
An ordinary family girl's experience of returning to China.
The summer in Hangzhou is particularly hot and long this year.
65438+ At 0: 30 in the afternoon, under the scorching sun, 26-year-old Kobayashi set out to visit customers. This time, she needs to show the products to customers one by one and persuade them to buy them. The high temperature made her face red, and she looked embarrassed under the pink dress. Kobayashi laughed at himself: "The day of moving bricks has begun!" The so-called "moving bricks" is a joke about efforts on the Internet.
Six years ago, Kobayashi didn't think he would "move bricks".
That year, the family held a family meeting, and the family happily decided to send her to study abroad after graduating from high school. From that day on, Kobayashi thought that her future should be a strong woman in high heels or a highly sought-after business backbone in a high-end office building. Kobayashi's family once thought so.
In order to avoid the college entrance examination, I choose to study abroad blindly and choose finance major.
Xiaolin's parents are both businessmen. Because business is difficult, his family is not rich. Before senior three, she never thought that she would get involved with "international students". At that time, there were two kinds of people around her who chose to study abroad: the first one was to learn hegemony, go abroad for further study and pursue a broader development platform; The second type is students from better families, and their parents are unwilling to let them enter an ordinary university in China. The status of their children as "international students" will give a comfort to anxious parents.
At that time, Kobayashi was studying in a key high school in Hangzhou, and his grades were average. The parents' idea is that instead of letting her enter ordinary universities in China, it is better to follow the tide of studying abroad. For Xiao Lin, who is overwhelmed by study, this is also a good opportunity to avoid the college entrance examination.
At that time, Kobayashi and his parents had an understanding that the country was developing rapidly and the demand for financial talents would be high. In those years, financial majors suddenly became high-frequency words, which can be seen everywhere. Study abroad consultants constantly praise the prospect of this major: the situation is excellent; Many students in Kobayashi's high school class also chose this kind of major in domestic universities.
"Finance was particularly hot in those years, and it sounds like a major that can find a good job. In addition, I didn't know much about this major at that time. "
Finally, Kobayashi caught up with the upsurge of financial major and successfully applied to Monash University in Australia.
My parents made a bold decision to sell the only house in the family.
Studying in Australia requires 600,000 yuan in the bank card, and the money has been frozen for half a year. Plus the annual expenditure of 300 thousand, it was not a small sum at that time.
In order to raise money for Kobayashi's study abroad, Kobayashi's parents made a bold decision: sell the only house in the family!
During that time, having dinner and chatting with relatives, everyone had different opinions on selling the house. Aunt's family thinks that relatives live nearby and take care of each other. Buying and selling a house is a big deal, which is too tossing. My uncle and most other relatives support Kobayashi's parents' decision. Selling a house can be realized quickly, reducing Kobayashi's study pressure, and buying another suite may also be a good investment.
Kobayashi said that most families may be businessmen, and they are particularly courageous in terms of money. For many families, it is crazy to sell houses to raise money to study.
A mistake, two more years of graduate study means spending 600 thousand more.
Kobayashi originally planned to stay in Australia for 3-4 years, attend preparatory courses and undergraduate courses, and then return to work.
"Later, I was about to graduate, and something happened that forced me to continue my graduate school and stay for two more years." Xiaolin said.
It turned out that Kobayashi was dismissed from school when he was about to enter junior year. She lamented: It's so unfair!
That semester, she failed in one course, and without waiting for the notice of make-up, she received the notice of persuasion directly. She didn't know until she found the school that failing in a course was not a serious matter, but the school sent a notice asking students who failed in this course to attend the hearing and state the reasons for failing. My roommate accidentally put this notice in an inconspicuous corner, which caused her to miss the opportunity to attend the hearing. The school thinks that Xiaolin has a problem with her attitude and wants to persuade her.
Kobayashi was dumbfounded when he learned that he was going to be dismissed. For the first time, she calculated an account in her mind: the annual tuition fee is about 6.5438+0.8 million yuan, the rent is about 60,000 yuan, and the living expenses are about 60,000 yuan, which costs 300,000 yuan every year. Her parents have spent nearly one million yuan. If she is fired, it means that all the money in front is in vain. "After going abroad, it seems that my concept of money has become stronger, and I am always calculating an account for studying abroad."
After many inquiries, Kobayashi found a solution. As long as you transfer to a university with a slightly worse financial major, you can still get a diploma. "That's the only way to stop loss. You can keep your previous credits when you change your major. I discussed with my parents that since I transferred to a slightly worse school, in order to make the gold content of studying abroad higher, I only have to study for another two years. "
The photo was provided by the interviewee who attended Kobayashi's graduate graduation ceremony in Australia.
"As soon as I return home, I want to work and can't wait! I stayed in Australia for six years and spent six years on my parents' money, while my former classmates have been working for two or three years. I'm afraid I can't catch up with them. "Kobayashi said frankly that when he returned to China at the end of 20 16, the anxiety of finding a job was ever-present.
Kobayashi submitted six resumes, and every interview was a "grinding".
When interviewed, the other party said rudely: "We have received a lot of resumes for studying abroad. Besides, what are your advantages? "
In another scene, the interviewer frowned: "Are you 26 years old and have no work experience?"
In another scene, the other party announced: "Our basic salary is not high, 2000 yuan, and the rest depends on performance commission."
……
The background advantage of studying abroad is already very small.
Xiao Lin is chatting with a senior in a large enterprise in Hangzhou. The senior told her: "Today's international students grab a lot just like former graduate students or former college students. As far as our company is concerned, the advantage of foreign students' background is actually very small. There is nothing but the advantage of English. But English is good, so can 985,211college students. "
Almost every interview unit will ask her the same question-why did you return to China? Kobayashi is a little disgusted with this question: "I didn't get along abroad, so I went back to China." Returning to China is only a personal decision, and there are not so many reasons to say. I just want to come back and make money, but I can't say that during the interview! "
Most of Kobayashi's friends who went abroad together chose to start a business. Starting a business avoids the psychological gap of low salary and difficulty in finding a job after returning home, and is more suitable for most international students with good economic conditions.
"I have a friend who studies hairdressing in Australia, which is equivalent to going to an Australian technical school, entirely for gold plating. Of course, if you can't find a job back home, you can't go to a hair salon as a barber, can you? " Xiao Lin wry smile way.
Stand upright and do it in a down-to-earth manner.
At the beginning of this year, with the help of parents, Susumu Kobayashi started a state-owned enterprise with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. This is not without gap with her initial expectations, but after rolling down many times, she said that her requirements have dropped to a very low level. There are many international students in this enterprise, including students from top foreign universities.
The old employees of the company told her that the starting salary of international students in the company is 1000 yuan higher than that of domestic graduate students and 2000 yuan higher than that of domestic undergraduate students, and the gap is just like this. After entering the company, the future appreciation depends on everyone's efforts.
Xiaolin's job is mainly to connect with customers in procurement, communication and marketing. After experiencing the pain of finding a job, Kobayashi also kept his posture straight. "International students have no aura, regardless of their academic qualifications, they must do it in a down-to-earth manner."
Xiaolin is 26 years old this year. As a newcomer, she has more time than others. She said that six years of studying abroad made her older than the average newcomer, so she had to catch up quickly.
Finally, Kobayashi calculated another account: 1 year spent nearly 1 10,000 yuan, and the cost of living in Australia for six years was about 1.8 million yuan. According to the current salary level, it is not difficult to earn this money back. However, Kobayashi still set himself a goal-10 earned nearly 2 million in a year.
"What if the dream comes true?" Xiao Lin smiled and turned and walked into the office building where the customer was located.
Small investigation
The starting salary of returnees this year is 6000 yuan, and the salary advantage is not obvious. Among the nearly ten big companies interviewed, the reporter launched a small survey on the salary of returnees this year. Except for a financial company that clearly stated that the starting salary would be above 6.5438+0 million yuan, the answers given by many other companies are basically the same-the starting salary of 6,000 yuan for returnees this year is average. Let's look at it in detail-
Zhejiang branch of a well-known domestic real estate company: the starting salary of domestic college graduates and overseas returned students is the same, with 6,000 yuan for undergraduate and 7,000 yuan for graduate students.
A well-known pharmaceutical company: the starting salary of graduate students in domestic universities is 6000 yuan, which is 500- 1000 yuan higher for international students with equivalent education.
Zhejiang Department of a state-owned financial company: The starting salary of domestic college graduates and overseas returned students is the same, basically recruiting graduate students, and the starting salary is about 1 10,000.
Zhejiang branch of a state-owned bank: the starting salary of the bank is about 6000 yuan, which will increase by a larger proportion in the second year than in the first year.
Zhejiang branch of a Korean clothing company: the starting salary of all fresh graduates is 6500 yuan, regardless of academic background.
A local Internet company in Hangzhou: the starting salary of domestic college graduates is 6,000 yuan, and that of overseas graduates is 6,500 yuan.
A local film and television company in Hangzhou: the starting salary of fresh graduates from domestic colleges and universities is basically the same as that of overseas returned students, with a pre-tax income of 5,000-6,000 yuan.
East China Branch of a well-known insurance company: the starting salary of domestic ordinary college graduates is 6000-8000 yuan, that of 9852 1 1 college graduates is 6500-8500 yuan, and that of returned overseas students is 6500-8500 yuan.
Hangzhou branch of an engineering company: the starting salary of domestic college graduates is similar to that of overseas returned students, with 7,000 yuan before tax and 6,000 yuan after tax.
From this small survey, it can be seen that in the eyes of these big companies, the salary advantage of fresh returnees is not obvious compared with that of domestic fresh graduates, and the difference is at most 1000 yuan.
Spend millions to study abroad and return to China for employment a few years later, but face the reality that these millions are worth it?
