最近参加一个国内来美的“招贤会”。 问起 一民营药厂的副所长(molecular diagnostics, with 3 y post-doc experience) 挣多少。回答是 20 万RMB, 外加 一套 2 br apartment and a company-provided car. 问一下桌子左右的人, 多数是 Staff Scientist, Senior Scientist, Group leader, 还有少数的是directors. 有 10 到 20年工作经验技能的人现在挣 $100k to $250k. 大概是国内 这位副所长的 3到8 倍。 这些人要养家供房, 20 万RMB (3万多美元), 根本不够。不知道可能有别的 灰色收入. 有同学最近回国进千人计划的。2,000,000 RMB for 5 years, excluding other benefits. 听起来挺好的。The absolute income is lower than in US, but the purchasing power is probably higher in China (if not buying a single house).
