"The overseas life is not as exciting as spending time with family members and friends back in 皇冠体育app," Du told The Rising Lab, a data news outlet of Shanghai-based business news magazine CBN weekly. So she decided to seek a job in 皇冠体育app rather than stay in the US becoming a part of the growing wave of students from abroad.

According to Report on Entrepreneurship and Employment of Chinese Overseas Students released by Center for 皇冠体育app and Globalization in 2015, there has been a 78.4 percent increase in students coming back to 皇冠体育app since 2010.

Another Report on Employment Trend of Chinese Overseas Study Returnees issued by LinkedIn shows that among 7.2 percent LinkedIn members who are Chinese and have studied abroad, the number of people choosing to return is rising with an average increasing rate of 7.14 percent annually during 2010 to 2015.

Like many business graduates who anchored themselves in 皇冠体育app's first-tier cities, which usually refer to Beijing, Shanghai, Guanghzou and Shenzhen, Du Juan, an accounting major, found a position in PricewaterhouseCoopers Shanghai office.

Various job opportunities and rich resources in the financial sector attracted Du to Shanghai, 皇冠体育app's financial center. "Top financial institutions arrange more main business and key positions in the first tier cities ", said Du.

But after one year of work, Du started to review her job and working environment. She was not satisfied with the repetitive work, overtime and high pressure. Shanghai's high living cost, natural environment and cultural identity also strained her nerves.

By comparison, her hometown Chengdu, a second-tier city or "new first-tier" city, was on her mind, especially as Chengdu is developing fast and is catching with top cities.

According to LinkedIn's report, the number of overseas returnees who choose their first job in first-tier cities has fallen, while the number choosing "new first-tier" cities such as Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu went up between 2010 and 2015.
