Hi all,

I wanted to ask what is a good salary for a fresh European PhD graduate (27 years old-Male) from a European Country in Shanghai, China?
It seems that I will have the opportunity to move to Shanghai as an Expat and I might need to negotiate a salary, with a big chemical company which has its HQ in Europe.
Since I have no idea what to expect from a salary perspective and the cost of living (accommodation, health care etc.) in Shanghai, I thought it would be a good idea to ask on this forum for more information and advice.
Thank you all in advance for your input.
