The Chinese students reveal ed that "remuneration and advancement opportunities" contribute most to the attractiveness of their future employers, with "good references for future career" and "high future earnings" being the two most important attributes.
This finding closely relates to students’ future salary expectations, which are up 10.7 percent from the last survey. This is in stark contrast to many of their peers from other countries, including Canada, Japan, and Switzerland, who have lowered their salary expectations.
Unsurprisingly, banking is the top choice industry to work in upon graduation. Students in China, especially those majoring in business, commerce and the natural sciences, consider the banking sector to be the most attractive to work in upon graduation. In particular, most local banking institutions have witnessed an increase in their rankings this year while their foreign counterparts continue losing their attractiveness as employers.
