CHINA SALARY GUIDE 2015 1
morganmckinley.com.cn 2
MANAGING DIRECTOR S LETTER The majority (82%) of Mainland China s professionals have seen their annual salaries increase. However, these increases vary depending on the market sector, with certain segments performing better than others. As the Chinese economy experiences a normal pace of growth moving into 2015, this has resulted in slightly less jobs being created across the finance sector although they are still faring much better than the industrial sector. However, due to ongoing regulatory changes, there is continuing high demand for risk and compliance professionals. In terms of additional remuneration benefits, an annual bonus scheme (62%) and holidays (58%) are the most important to Mainland China s professionals. Survey results show that the majority of those who responded receive these two benefits as part of their current package. I hope you enjoy reading the accompanying report. If you have any insights on current salary trends in professional occupations in Mainland China, we would welcome any feedback you may have. Human resources professionals are also sought after despite the slowdown, as restructuring has led to increased demand for new investment headcount, and to upgrade existing HR personnel, from generalists to specialists. Furthermore, Mainland China s thriving Internet sector has led to a significant talent shortage. We have seen an increasing number of professionals that are willing to move from a multinational IT company to a fastgrowing local internet firm. Some local firms have been known to offer pay rises in excess of 50 percent for outstanding individuals. The FMCG sector continues to flourish with growing demand for commercial talent in this area. Professionals in this sector can expect increasing opportunities, as well as attractive remuneration. Over three quarters (76%) of professionals who responded say they have received or are expecting an annual bonus for 2014. Again, bonus increments are variable, which is indicative of certain sectors outperforming others. RIO GOH Country Head, China Tel: +86 21 5108 1212 rgoh@morganmckinley.com 3

BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES TOP 3 MOST IN-DEMAND POSITIONS: 1 2 3 Relationship Manager Head of Compliance Research Analyst 5
BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES Morgan McKinley expects to see continued high demand for risk and compliance professionals. This is in response to the ever changing regulatory environment. Banks and other financial institutions will continue to offer their clients more products and services as the regulatory landscape further evolves. As part of this development, risk and compliance individuals will be offered more opportunities for career advancement. 2014 has been a good year for most banks and Morgan McKinley predicts a continuation of that growth in banking through the hiring of more relationship managers and product managers in 2015. We expect an increase in demand for accounting and finance professionals from internal audit, namely senior vice-presidents (SVPs) / directors and directors / senior directors. Within asset management, research analysts are in high demand at the director / senior director level. Banking operations professionals with expertise in the area of settlements at the VP / senior manager levels will be in high demand and within corporate and retail banking, individuals with trade finance (sales) experience at the SVP/director levels will be most in demand. BANKS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER THEIR CLIENTS MORE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AS THE REGULATORY LANDSCAPE FURTHER EVOLVES.

FINANCE & ACCOUNTING As a result of the sluggish Chinese economy, there has been minimal job creation in the finance sector and salaries remain flat. Companies undergoing cost saving and headcount control often see an increased workload for the financial control division, which can result in extra headcount. Therefore, for those businesses entering Mainland China, whether a wholly foreign-owned enterprise or a joint venture, finance and accounting leaders are in high demand. The skill sets of these finance professionals allow them to help the companies register, set up the business, and grow over the short to long term. Turnover is the highest in the financial planning and analysis (FP&A) team within the financial control division. Professionals in this area are ambitious and eager to progress quickly. Therefore, FP&A specialists have been moving from job to job consistently in the past few years, with replacement, as well as investment headcount, being a key trend in this high demand area. AS A RESULT OF THE SLUGGISH CHINESE ECONOMY, THERE HAS BEEN MINIMAL JOB CREATION IN THE FINANCE SECTOR AND SALARIES REMAIN FLAT.

IT There has been a significant flow of talent from the traditional IT sectors to the ecommerce and Internet sectors. The booming market within the Internet sector has resulted in considerable talent shortage, especially in the product area. Furthermore, a talent shortage also exists in new cutting edge technologies such as Cloud computing and mobile technologies. An increasing number of professionals from multinational IT companies are willing to take opportunities at fast-growing local Internet firms. The salaries of these in-demand Internet professionals can go way above the average market rate. Local companies have been known to offer over 50 percent increases in base salary for exceptional individuals, overheating salaries in parts of the Internet sector. THE BOOMING MARKET WITHIN THE INTERNET SECTOR HAS RESULTED IN CONSIDERABLE TALENT SHORTAGE, ESPECIALLY IN THE PRODUCT AREA. There is significant demand for IT professionals in the following areas: project managers for the manufacturing industry, business analysts for the pharmaceutical industry, application managers for the retail/wholesale sector and business consultants for IT industry / consulting firms.

HUMAN RESOURCES TOP 3 MOST IN-DEMAND POSITIONS: 1 2 3 HR Business Partner Talent Development Manager Head of HR 13
HUMAN RESOURCES The transformation of the human resources (HR) department from a support team into an enabling function has seen the HR market continue to grow despite a slowdown in China s economy. More companies have begun the conversion from a HR generic team into three specialised functions: HR business partner, centre of excellence and a shared service centre. The restructuring in this function has increased demand for new investment headcount, and to upgrade existing HR personnel, from generalists to specialists. HR BUSINESS PARTNERS, THOSE IN TALENT DEVELOPMENT AND TOTAL REWARDS, AS WELL AS HR HEADS FOR THE INTERNET AND HIGH TECH INDUSTRIES ARE MOST IN DEMAND. HR business partners, those in talent development and total rewards, as well as HR heads for the Internet and high tech industries are most in demand.

SALES & MARKETING TOP 3 MOST IN-DEMAND POSITIONS: 1 2 3 Sales VP Key Account Manager Digital Marketing Manager 15
SALES & MARKETING CONSUMER 2014 was a challenging year for the retail sector and this trend is set to continue in 2015. Qualified and well trained sales professionals will still be in high demand across major cities in Mainland China. The fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry continues to expand, increasing the need for commercial talent. Market indicators highlight a continued focus on improving client service levels and the overall client experience. Professionals in this space can expect more opportunities and an attractive remuneration aligned with this growth. Sales vice-presidents (VPs), key account managers, marketing managers and digital marketing managers are in high demand. 2014 WAS A CHALLENGING YEAR FOR THE RETAIL SECTOR AND THIS TREND IS SET TO CONTINUE IN 2015. MANUFACTURING 2014 was an unusual year in the manufacturing sector. On the one hand, digitisation and intellectualisation of research and design technology have become increasingly apparent. The result of this is a shorter delay between design and manufacturing, thus reducing costs for new products entering the market. On the other hand, intelligent equipment, such as robots and automated production lines, are increasingly common. Adding to this, the machine replacing human has been an important mean for enterprises to improve production efficiency and reduce personnel costs. Sales VPs, key account managers, BU parts sales managers, marketing managers, digital marketing managers, event managers and project managers are highly sought after. SALES VPS, KEY ACCOUNT S, BU PARTS SALES S, MARKETING S, DIGITAL MARKETING S, EVENT S AND PROJECT S ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. 16

OPERATIONS & SUPPLY CHAIN TOP 3 MOST IN-DEMAND POSITIONS: 1 2 3 General Manager Head of Supply Chain Operation Director 18
OPERATIONS & SUPPLY CHAIN Recruitment across the insurance industry has remained buoyant, with significant demand for claims professionals and risk and compliance managers in particular. Industry standard APA (Accredited Product Adviser), CIP (Professional Diploma in Insurance) and ACII (Advanced Diploma in Insurance) qualifications continue to be highly sought after by employers, in customer sales, retention, back office, claims and underwriting positions. There has been demand across life and general insurance particularly in functions such as new business, sales, broker support, claims, risk, compliance, customer service and retention The life and pensions administration market that had dominated recruitment needs has now stabilised. The demand is shifting to in-house pension roles as large organisations are scaling back on defined benefit schemes and are moving to defined contribution. The general improved outlook has led to an increased demand for hybrid professionals with rewards / pension experience within internal reward and benefits teams. We expect to see a further move from longer duration contracts (12+ months) to permanency for specialist or management level positions as companies compete strongly to attract and retain this talent. Career progression as well as company reputation, flexibility and location are key factors that continue to entice insurance professionals to explore new opportunities. In line with the overall financial services industry, the majority of specialist insurers, reinsurers, and life and investment organisations are headquartered in Dublin. The broker network in particular provides opportunities nationally. DEMAND IS SHIFTING TO IN-HOUSE PENSION ROLES AS LARGE ORGANISATIONS ARE SCALING BACK ON DEFINED BENEFIT (DB) SCHEMES AND ARE MOVING TO DEFINED CONTRIBUTION (DC). THE GENERAL IMPROVED OUTLOOK HAS LED TO AN INCREASED DEMAND FOR HYBRID PROFESSIONALS WITH REWARDS /PENSION EXPERIENCE WITHIN INTERNAL REWARD AND BENEFITS TEAMS. Professionals in more senior specialist or customer facing roles have expressed their expectations of an increase in salary this year (averaging between 5-10%) when undertaking a decision to change employers. Due to new business and sales requirements within insurance, QFA (Qualified Financial Adviser) and CIP (Professional Diploma in Insurance) qualifications are essential for most customer facing roles. Employers are continually looking for insurance professionals with advanced qualifications such as DLDU, MDI, FCII and ACII (General Insurance) and IIPM and FLIA. There is significant benchmarking happening in the market amongst employers in their efforts to ensure their total rewards and benefits offering remains competitive and relevant to this talent pool. As the insurance market has stabilised and companies are looking to grow their operations, we predict a pay increase of 2-5% in 2015. Increases will be likely at both managerial and non managerial level. 19
