Right now, I'm an ESL teacher, but at other times I've done an assortment of computer-related jobs, mostly technical writing (writing TFM) and computer security consulting.
If anyone sees a job wandering by that needs someone to teach computer subjects or edit translated manuals or some such, please let me know.

there is a number of "computer English" jobs in Beijing but one has to usually go through the so-called training institutes since a lot of the companies here just outsource their English needs

I am also looking for "computer jobs", by this I mean transcribing spoken English via MP3 files to Word, proof reading, outright writing. I am outside Guangzhou and the communte in is tedious, not to mention odiferous...would much rather work from "home". I wonder how to find these jobs? I like to meet the people I work for and I like to keep an eye on the funds flow. Pounding the pavement in Canton with my minimal Putonghua is problematic....any ideas for my area?

I'm moderately flexible about location. Xiamen, Hangzhou or Suzhou would be ideal. I wouldn't want a horribly polluted city and would be reluctant to go somewhere out-of-the-way unless it was an interesting area like Tibet or Xinjiang. I'm Canadian, so I could likely survive a Northern Chinese climate but will avoid that if I can.

This one also interests me....my degree is in computer science and I have loads if IT experience. I spent last year teaching in Kunshan and want to go back to China. Has anyone here successfully made the jump from EFL to network administration or IT consulting?

I'm sure it's been done. But it ain't easy...China is thick with very talented computer people who will work for a lot less than you will. But if you have some kind of hard-to-find knowledge or such, I'm sure you can find a place to put it to work.
There's a software company in Suzhou called Suzsoft that is constantly advertising for English trainers. The salary is IMHO frankly appalling for the hours, especially for the first two months (which helps explain the "constantly advertising" bit), but part of their hook is that you eventually have a shot at higher-level jobs in their core businesses. I have no idea how many, if any, have actually made this leap...

Yeah, Suzsoft freaked me out. I interviewed there a year ago. Everything sounded great until I saw the compensation package, which was just unacceptable given my other options at the time.
