“Escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou” is not the mainstream voice, but not all technical talents are suitable for working in first-tier cities. Age, education, contacts, assets, future plans… After an objective review of your own conditions, if you feel that your current situation is too harsh, you can consider looking for a new starting point in the list of second-tier cities.
It is becoming a trend to abandon the temptations and opportunities of the big cities and move to the second-tier cities. It has very pristine comfort and affordable housing. The biggest numbers also tell us something: wages in second-tier cities are closing in on those in first-tier cities.
In addition to promising development prospects, second-tier cities have also developed attractive local policies to attract talent and encourage people to come here. The first thing we need to understand is that the level of a city is often determined by the people who struggle in it.
hangzhou
Representative enterprises: Alibaba and netease
The Internet sector in most second-tier cities is underdeveloped, but there is one exception: Hangzhou. This grand event city is home to two Internet giants, Alibaba and netease. The G20 Summit and the Mobile Internet Conference have been held here, and the Internet ecosystem is quite mature. in
Bachelor degree, under 45 years old, residence for one year;
Master degree or above is preferred. The Internet is always the most important area for technical talents, and this happens to be hangzhou’s strengths. Fresh graduates with master’s degrees or higher degrees can get a one-time housing subsidy of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan (20,000 for master’s degree and 30,000 for doctor’s degree). The Blue Project and The Eagle Project, established to build a cluster of high-standard science and technology enterprises, are also very attractive to entrepreneurial science and technology talents.
nanjing
Representative enterprises: Suning, Tuniu
In the competition for talent among second-tier cities, Nanjing is the most thorough and decisive in implementing policies. It is the only “megalopolis” in the Yangtze River Delta economic circle and has a bright future. Excellent economic development has led to a considerable number of technology projects, thanks, of course, to generous government support.

If you can be selected as an “excellent entrepreneurial project”, the official will give you a one-time subsidy of 200,000 to 500,000 yuan.

One of the most popular second-tier cities for young people to move to is flat, with a slow pace of life and low housing prices. If you are planning to move your family to the city where you are developing your career, “Land of Plenty” is the best choice to consider. Chengdu’s “Rongpiao Plan” is also a textbook plan for second-tier cities to attract high-end talents.

The apartment is rented at a discount of 75 percent of the market price and can be purchased at the price when the apartment is moved in after five years. This policy is similar to public rental housing in many areas. Start-ups can apply for up to 1 million yuan of government funding. The famous “Rong City talent green card” has also been issued, from free visit to the zoo to the three-a hospital green channel, and then to one-to-one policy consulting services… It was a royal treat.

Hefei’s housing price increase is outrageous. In 2016, the increase was the first in China, and in 2017, the second. Now the average price has exceeded 30,000 yuan. Housing prices have sharply curbed talent’s desire to go there, but hefei has adopted a very generous incentive policy to show its sincerity in attracting elite talent, which makes it hard to ignore.

wuhan
Representative enterprises: Douyu Network, Mucang Technology
It is a well-founded city with 82 colleges and universities, second only to Beijing. That means it sends out a lot of skilled people every year, and quite a few of them stay. Wuhan is also one of the largest high-speed rail hubs in China. The transportation is extremely convenient, suitable for developing into a “second home”.

It’s also a safeguard. In order to retain the resources of college students, Wuhan offers a large amount of subsidies for entrepreneurship. Starting a business can apply for a subsidy of up to 200,000 yuan a year, and the project after the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities can receive a reward of up to 2 million yuan.

xiamen
Representative enterprises: Meitu Xiu xiu, 4399, flying fish technology
In order to cope with the “competition for excellent talents” being carried out in major cities across the country, Xiamen has used the “trump card” with real money and silver. A living allowance will be provided to the newly introduced talents with higher education, including 30,000 yuan/person for master’s degree and 50,000 yuan/person for doctor’s degree. It is reported that this subsidy standard is the highest among similar cities in the country. If the high-tech enterprises are founded in Haiguai Xiamen, they can not only apply for the special fund of 100,000 yuan free subsidy, but also can apply for the start-up fund of not less than 300,000 yuan for the high-tech enterprises founded by high-level overseas students.

If you like this Oriental Hawaiian city, don’t hesitate to go.
Several factors make the decision
House prices
When you go to a city for development, buying a house is almost the first task. Because it is closely related to hukou, jobs and education, it is almost the cornerstone of settlement. Before we do that, first we need to popularize the concept of the price-to-income ratio. As the name suggests, the price-to-income ratio is the ratio of the total price of a home to annual household income. To put it more bluntly, it represents the stress of being a mortgage slave in the city.
According to a report released by E-House Real Estate Research Institute last September, the average family in Top-ranked Shenzhen, for example, has to work for 34.9 years without food or water before they can afford to buy an apartment.
It is not hard to see that nanjing, Fuzhou, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Hangzhou, Hefei, Suzhou and Zhengzhou, the second-tier cities, are under much less pressure than Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing. Chengdu, Wuhan and Qingdao are among the second-tier cities with the least pressure. Interestingly, their pace of life and environment are also very livable.
The traffic
Subways have become a standard in first – and second-tier cities, as commuters rely on them to get between work and residence every day. If the transportation is not convenient, it will significantly reduce the attractiveness of the city to foreign talents.
Here’s a look at metro operations in major cities, compiled by Watch the World Map. Nanjing and Shenzhen are doing well, while Suzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin and Hangzhou are doing poorly — Hangzhou’s subway system is only 108 kilometers long.
The density of subway planning directly determines the working radius of white-collar workers. If their daily work is significantly restricted, the impact of traffic problems on economic development will be inevitable. The hangzhou government is clearly aware of the problem, and the third phase of the subway has been put on the agenda. According to the plan, the total length of Hangzhou subway line will reach 446 kilometers by 2022.
opportunities
The data from Zhaopin.com shows that wages in second-tier cities are gradually approaching those in first-tier cities, with Hangzhou, Ningbo and Nanjing showing the best trend. But the comparison between the two can not only look at the book salary, after escaping from first-tier cities, the choice of work will also have significant changes.
The Internet is always the most popular industry among graduates, but the Internet landscape in second-tier cities is not optimistic.
The data shows that Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are still the “revolutionary bases” of the Internet industry. With the exception of Hangzhou, which has 3,192 Internet enterprises, other cities seem to be not enough to look at. Besides Chengdu, Wuhan and Nanjing, the Internet industry in other second-tier cities is even less than 1000. Compared with Beijing’s 16,200, it is a far cry from mud.
When it comes to high-tech industries, first-tier cities still have a monopoly. So now move to the second-tier cities, will inevitably face a shortage of jobs. This requires those who want to “change” to study the development of their field of expertise in the target city before jumping ship.
Write in the last
Skilled talent in second-tier cities, there is a considerable probability that they will struggle here for the rest of their lives. If you have ideas about a second-tier city, you might as well check out the corresponding talent recruitment policies and their objective conditions. You will have an accurate judgment of who is sincere and who is more suitable.
