I actually don't know, but my impression is that they were often at tech companies where the salary trajectory is a lot less steep, and also there were far fewer alternatives with a good work life balance. This always is framed as a pervasive cultural issue in the media I consume. Could be totally wrong though.

Just Google online and you'd see that the average salary for a software engineer in China is pretty high and has pretty good long term career perspective (+ stock and bonuses)
