Life sucks, yep. Low pay, yep. Management that has no idea how to run a business that creates intellectual property, yep.

Here's what you may not know: There are a growing number of small to mid sized IT shops in China that need good talent, know how to treat them right and are willing to pay better. FIND THEM and pick yourself up and things will get better. Go to these hacker meetups and learn to mix and mingle.

All my employees work only 40 hours a week, with benefits and pay well beyond the norm. And I invest in their future by preparing their skill set for what's to come next. I'm not the only person in China doing this. I know the man that wrote this article here is very progressive and invests in his people.
