I heard that Peking HSBC pays 80wRMB. The government also pays 80w+. So 160w+? I heard about this from a couple of guys there. This is ridiculous. This salary is higher than anywhere in the world. Why can they not hire top guys if they pay this much? because of bad research environment?
I guess top guys want to have free access to gmail, google scholar and dropbox?
Heard that their pay scale is quite heterogeneous. They pay some HRM AP's much more than other APs who have been there for years. Some miserable AP's have not had their salaries raised for years. An AP having been there many years with a few decent publications has recently failed tenure. Not sure whether he is forced to leave though. I would say this AP's publication record is better than most APs there.

All decisions are made by one guy and those koreans are just there to take advantage of the tax benefits. Otherwise the place is a deadend for your research. Years ago they promoted the daughter of a former leader from pku. Her best paper is published on pacific basin finance journal. she is now on the promotion committee to decide whether new comers could get tenure.
Most APs are not producing decent pubs. Then the tenure decision is not clear. Once you finish 6-year contract, most likely you have to leave with poor pubs --> no job.

That daughter (Ju) of PKU dean's husband also took advantage. He was promoted with a bunch of C papers. But at least he is bit better than Ju.

What is their mid-term review policy? Do they guarantee 6 years of contract?

Is their pay scale for APs really 80w+80w rmb including the govt subsidy??
LJ is the colourful character who sent her former husband to jail by claiming domedtic violence. Ask any of her pku classmates and they will tell you those juicy stories. I don't think you will find the environment very research friendly and the worst part is that u do not have an edit option if they fail your tenure.
Honestly, avoid this place. They are expanding ridiculously opening up multiple programs and a new campus in UK. That sounds promising, huh? The reality is they don't have enough faculty. So they are now forcing the existing faculties to teach tons of courses - could be 5 courses and 5 preps. On the other hand, if you miss one course, your salary will be reduced by 25%. If they lack of teachers, why did they start the new programs in the first place? You have to waste much time on "service" as well. Don't go to this place! Some guys are just leaving. At the same time, they demand a lot for research. While the old guys can do nothing and sometimes give a talk in the media, the new guys need to work their ass off on top publications. In the end, you will still be micromanaged by the old guys who only published a couple of C papers. Don't work or study there. All they care about is marketing! They are very good at marketing!
Avoid this place at all costs. At least 5 people are leaving soon including some got promoted. See how awful this place is. They change their promotion bar arbitrarily. Even your salary is now not guaranteed. They are starting to "postpone" paying the faculty.
Some guys are just leaving! They don't pay on time.That is total bulls**t.
Wen Hai is not a scholar at all, he is a businessman. See his publication, no real. Don't say he has AER, his AER is no real AER. Remember, AER may is not real AER. Don't be fooled by him. AER may = Third tie. All day long, we know that we are going to open a party and let the people under us give him licks and assholes, and we still do not pay according to the contract. Pulling any Chinese dream, we are a family, obligations, to f**k. Good I left. Luck to those still fooled by Wen Hai.
Lucky for you to leave early
