So I just got offered a Sr. art director position in Shenzhen, China for a company's international business. The salary is about $300,000. It makes me sad that I can't relocate as of now.

Thanks for all the watch outs guys. So the more I thought about it, the work system there is a bit different than here which I'm not liking as much. They created a pool of "creatives" under one creative director. When there is a project coming through, all the "creatives" will have to fight to be in charge of the project instead of assigned. More like a consulting firm I guess. The money though can def put weight everything, I'm just surprised how much they are offering. I guess the tech bubble is pretty big.
