Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice on whether or not working in Beijing would be a better option for me.
I know there will be a lot of different answers coming and my question can of course not be answered easily but I would be very interested to hear all your opinions.

I am currently working in the Liaoning Province in the Tourism Indutry and have to admit that I am a little bit disappointed. The company I am working for has branches all over the world, however its origin is in China. When coming here I felt that the level of professionalism is much lower than expected and especially the low level of English in this area makes work very difficult.

I might have an opportunity to move to Beijing but was wondering if it might be the same as here. The company in Beijing is an American company and has already several foreigners employed, which makes me think that it might be easier and also working would be more of the western style.
But how is it with the English level in Beijing. I don't expect perfect English at all as my English is far from perfect but calling companies work related and having people regularly hanging up the phone because there is no English available at all, can be frustrating.

So would you suggest to simply wait and stay here or try my chances in Beijing?

Looking forward to some replies!

Regards
Cornelius
