With a monthly salary of 9,000 yuan after deducting five social insurances and one housing fund, I work as a teacher in a remote mountainous area. Should I resign or stay?

To be honest, you can’t just resign if you want to, unless you have been working for more than 8 years.

In many people’s minds, teachers in remote mountainous areas are usually substitute teachers, and their income is often very low, such as one or two thousand. The reality is indeed the same, let alone remote mountainous areas. Teachers in many towns along the eastern coast deduct three to four thousand yuan for five insurances and one housing fund every month. However, 9,000 yuan/month does not mean that it does not exist in remote areas. For example, in order to support education in remote areas such as Tibet and Xinjiang, the state has made large financial allocations. However, teachers who teach in areas such as Tibet and Xinjiang, The salary is not too low either.

As shown in the picture below, it is a recruitment announcement for preschool education (this is just preschool education) in Tibet in 2017. In this announcement, we can see that in the salary column Wrote: The monthly salary level of new formal teachers in Ali area is: about 9,500 yuan for a college degree, about 9,800 yuan for a bachelor's degree, and about 10,000 yuan for a master's degree (of course, it is not stated here whether it is before or after five insurances and one housing fund, but even if it is deducted Previously, after working for several years, it should not be difficult to deduct up to 9,000 yuan for five insurances and one housing fund).

But working in these areas does not mean that you can resign anytime you want. The general requirement is a minimum of 8 years, otherwise you will have to pay liquidated damages (this is the same as civil servants and public institutions, there are requirements If the minimum service is 5 years, if you leave before five years, you will have to pay liquidated damages). In another announcement from the Alibaba region, we saw that if the employee has served less than 8 years, the relevant transfer procedures will not be processed. According to I voluntarily requested to resign and be compensated for liquidated damages in accordance with relevant regulations. So if you have worked for less than eight years, first find out how much the liquidated damages are and whether they are worth paying.

Resign or stay?

It’s been eight years? Whether you want to resign or leave depends on your own personal thoughts. For me, I would consider the other half's issues more at this time. If you already have a significant other, then choose the location of your significant other. After all, long-term separation is not good for the family and the growth of your children. If you don’t have a significant other, firstly, do you love it here, and secondly, can you find a good one here? Friends, if the answer is no, then leave. If the answer is yes, you can stay. After all, in addition to doing things for students and education, we should also consider ourselves appropriately.

In short, I admire people of all kinds of legitimate professions who make selfless contributions in remote areas, and I also pay tribute to the teachers who provide education in remote areas! The work is your own, and you need to make the right choice based on your own conditions.
