Chinese graduates are described as turning back toward large employers

A market commentary describes a shift in career preferences among Chinese university graduates from entrepreneurship toward employment at large companies. The top laboratories, ByteDance and Huawei are described as major recruiters of Tsinghua University graduates that pay relatively well, although employees are said to work very hard.

The shift is characterized as a pendulum swinging back toward big firms after entrepreneurship was seen as fashionable in the second half of the 2020s. The source provides no specific polling figures and does not define the exact period meant by that description.
