China's Huawei lures graduates to Japan lab with double pay
China's Huawei Technologies is seeking to lure graduates to work in its new Japanese production research lab with an offer of monthly salaries that are roughly double those paid by local rivals. The company will pay bachelor's degree holders upwards of JPY401,000 ($3,650) per month and monthly salaries for master's degree holders will start at JPY430,000. The move is intended to draw talent that would otherwise opt to work for Japanese rivals, such as SoftBank, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone.

TOKYO -- China's Huawei Technologies is causing a stir among young Japanese job seekers by offering monthly salaries of around $4,000 for prospective science and engineering graduates.

Huawei, the world's No. 3 smartphone maker by sales, will set up a major "production research laboratory" in Japan as early as this year, and is determined to hire the best engineers.
