Hi I have been reading this board for about a month now from the UK and have ambitions to come to Shenzhen to teach. Meten is a company I was looking forward to working for so I applied a few days ago and got a reply back. Thank you for your warning. So when you move on to a nicer school, will you have to re-apply for a new work visa and resident permit? Whatever you do best of luck to you and thank you very much for posting on this board. For someone like myself just starting out on ELT, this has proved invaluable information and advice. Cheers!!
