How Chinese Increases Salary and Opens Up Career Opportunities

We often say that Chinese is not just a language.

It is an additional skill that opens up a huge number of opportunities 🔥

At one point, we worked in marketing and conducted research for a large international coffee chain ☕️

The company was planning to enter the Chinese market, and we needed to understand:

— whether it was worth doing;

— which formats would work best;

— what risks existed;

— what opportunities the project could bring.

And it was exactly our knowledge of Chinese that allowed us to:

🌟 take key roles in the project;

🌟 work on tasks unavailable to ordinary marketers;

🌟 gain unique experience that immediately increased our value in the job market.

If we had continued developing in that field, our salary could have been 2–3 times higher than other specialists at the same level.

Why?

Because there are many marketers.

But there are very few marketers who know Chinese.

One of our students learned Chinese to HSK 1 level, added it to her resume, and received a job offer with a 32% higher salary in procurement 💸

Why does this happen?

Because more and more companies:

🇨🇳 work with China;

🇨🇳 open joint production facilities;

🇨🇳 negotiate with Chinese partners;

🇨🇳 enter the Chinese market.

But there are still very few specialists who know the language.

Knowing Chinese increases the value of a specialist in almost any field:

— marketing;

— IT;

— logistics;

— procurement;

— engineering;

— sports;

— economics;

— education;

— medicine;

— manufacturing.

And these are only some examples.

Chinese is not “just another language.”

It is a skill that helps people stand out, get more interesting projects, grow faster in their careers, and increase their income.

And the earlier a child starts learning Chinese, the more opportunities they will have in the future.
