I'm China bound, just got a job at Neusoft in warm and sunny Shenyang.  It's an IT job in my field where I'll be doing project management, Q&A, quality control, and some translation.  Couldn't ask for anything better except for a warmer climate, but I'm from Chicago so bad winters aren't too much of a big deal. 

Just curious. Why did the company go for a Westerner over a much cheaper local?

I don't believe they did.  I'm replacing a westerner they already have there, plus this is a rather large software company with branches in several countries (including the US and Europe) with an employee base of 20,000.

Congrats Seth!

Please keep us updated here at the saloon, cos' I am sure it's gonna be interesting: an Ex-EFL-er returning to China in a different line of work after several (many actually) years away, you should have some interesting insights and experiences!

By the way, I have a friend who moved from Shanghai to Shenyang for a better job and he went a bit stir-crazy being unprepared for the long dark cold winter...just sayin'   th_r

It don't scare me none!  Apparently you've never experienced a Chicago winter, so cold that your nostrils freeze.
