※ 引述《LordHamlet (-.-)》之銘言： : 香港和新加坡的稅後薪水是可以和美國不錯的州立相競爭， have you considered housing and education allowances, etc.? from what I learned, the total $ for a fresh assist. Prof. (science) is around USD 100K+ and the tax rate is around 10%. Granted that in the US you may be paid by a 9-mo rate, and this gives you a chance to boost up your overall pay with your grants....but how many can do it now? I don't know. on the other hand, while the salary in Taiwan may look low (~33% of those in SG or HK), you can enjoy the pension system (of course when everything goes well). If you live long enough, the overall pay will be certainly NO less. Research support in a major Taiwan Univ is amazingly good when you are in the system, too. Recently some opportunities in the mid-east also come up....in case you are willing to go to live in the desert for the sake of science. Good salary + benefits + constant funding support without the need of writing proposals.... : 在某些熱門領域，可能給薪還可以接近一流歐美名校（多是商學院）。 : 以新加坡為例，tenure的程序和要求跟美國不錯的州立大學類似， : 但是要funding的壓力會小很多， : 一來學生由學校出錢養，一開始不用浪費寶貴時間寫proposal， : 二來即使要寫proposal要錢，難度也較美國小的多。 --
