1. Luxury Sales Director Don’t think that high-paying positions are reserved for foreigners. In fact, foreigners hope these positions can be taken over by local talents more than Chinese people do.
Because for the same job, the salary of a foreign supervisor may be several times that of a Chinese supervisor.
In the past, the sales of luxury goods such as watches, pens, and leather bags in China did not have any obvious results.
Starting in the past few years, many manufacturers of luxury goods have changed their original practice of asking department stores to sell products on their behalf. They have invested a lot of money in China and established many chain stores.
Last year, taking Givenchy as an example, it hired two chief representatives in Shanghai within one year.
They also refused to let go of the other two candidates recommended by the agency, saying they would come in handy in the near future.
Of the luxury goods purchased by Chinese consumers last year, more than 56%, about US$13 billion, were purchased from abroad, of which US$6.5 billion was purchased in Hong Kong and Macau, while the rest were purchased from the world's most fashionable regions including New York, Paris,
business districts such as Tokyo and Rome, and drove the sales revenue of European brand-name clothing to increase by 6% in 2010.
In one year, mainland Chinese consumers spent nearly 15 billion yuan more on luxury goods (excluding services, hotels, restaurants, alcoholic beverages, luxury cars and yachts, and private jets) compared with the same period last year, from 1,410 yuan in 2008.

2. Marketing Director of China In fact, local personnel who can lead the overall market planning of the country have been scarce for five years.
As a result, many large companies have no choice but to look for Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and Singaporeans to fill this position.
Because managers from these regions and countries at least have similar backgrounds and cultures to those in mainland China.
As for European and American people, there are very few people who hold this position.
After all, the cultural differences are huge.
At present, for this position, a high degree of education is no longer a bottleneck.
Because five years is enough time for a large number of local aspiring young people to complete higher-end academic courses.
However, there are very few people with 5 years of experience in product management and planning for the national market.
As for those with 10 years of experience, they are already a rare product.
Remember: high education + long-term experience = the key to high salary. It should be noted that the experience in this formula is not simply the accumulation of work qualifications, but the process of continuous self-improvement in the process of surfing the waves, including your success cases and the continuous improvement in the industry.
Expanding influence.
The best place to accumulate experience is an influential company in the world.
Among the three major military academies for sales training in the world, P&G ranks first. This company is also known as the first brand of marketing training.
There was once an employee who had worked for Procter & Gamble for 8 years and was poached by a Japanese company with an annual salary of 1 million yuan.
Ranked second is Unilever’s marketing planning department.
Ranked third is the world-famous Gillette Company.
3. Senior Financial Director Compared with a few years ago, general financial managers who know how to do accounting in English are no longer popular.
Because of the resurgence of a large number of overseas returnees, the demand for employees has been alleviated.
On the other hand, financial directors of large companies are currently in high demand.
The financial director is not only required to be proficient in financial policies, but also needs to be able to integrate different businesses in the East and the West.
If you only understand China's business, it will be difficult to understand the financial statements, settlements, and policies of other Asian countries, the United States and Europe. First, it is not conducive to the company's deployment of global personnel flows. Second, there are obstacles in communicating with the person in charge of the headquarters.
Currently, this position is mostly held by foreigners.
Many foreign companies have begun to purposefully send outstanding Chinese employees to receive financial training abroad to prepare for the localization of management.
Reminder: Career continuity is very important in the assessment of senior positions, so constantly changing jobs across industries is not necessarily a good thing.
Unless you are determined to be the boss, make yourself a generalist who takes charge of the overall situation.
4. Senior Hotel Managers Maybe it’s a matter of perception, but China’s key universities rarely have specialized tourism majors.
Tourism occupies a position that cannot be ignored in China. According to statistics, by 2020, China, currently ranked fifth, will become the world's largest tourist country.
Excellent hotel management talents matching this are rare.
Some five-star hotels want to hire foreigners as managers, but most of the outstanding foreign hotel managers have joined the star hotel management association. Once they leave the association to work abroad, they will be restricted by many aspects such as economy and management scope.
So, they are free to work in other countries only after retirement.
Reminder: If you are planning to study abroad now, go to a prestigious school in Switzerland to major in hotel management.
Then I will work in a famous hotel in Switzerland for a few years and then return to China. It must be right.
5. Supervisors of foreign-funded banks After China’s accession to the WTO, with the gradual opening up of finance to the outside world, the demand for financial talents in foreign-funded banks has also increased.
In this regard, China's talent pool is still lacking.
Because most overseas returnees work in investment banks with high economic returns, there are not many talents in commercial banks.
HSBC sent Chinese employees to Hong Kong to receive specialized financial training six years ago. Today, these four people are deputy presidents of four branches in mainland China.
Reminder: Design a 5 to 10-year professional manager plan for yourself. Maybe you are not far from success.
6. Manufacturing Factory Manager: A good science and engineering background, excellent foreign language proficiency, and front-line work experience are the basic conditions for foreign companies to choose manufacturing managers.
