Hi all,
My husband and I met in HK some years ago and have been trying to get back there, despite the issues as we love the country. I'm coming back, hopefully on a teaching contract, I have an interview this week. My husband is a pilot, but also setting up his own business over there, so there's an investment visa in the mix and pilot job hunting going on there, but it's obviously slow. My question is, how has the pandemic affected the teaching industry? I have friends and family still on the ground and I'm hearing different things. Language centres are struggling it seems, the smaller ones anyway, larger schools seem ok, but only have students part-time at the moment. It looks like there are lots of teaching positions advertised, but I wonder how salary's have been affected as some of my teaching friends took a huge pay cut or had to leave HK altogether as they no longer had a job. I know that the borders are still closed for anyone who's not PR and there is still a quarantine in place. Any idea when that will be lifted? I've heard September, but I'd be interested if anyone has heard anything else.
Thanks
Shelley
