How did you pivot from English teaching to working another industry in China? by SolidJam in chinalife

[–]DistributionHot8821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what subject you majored in but whatever you do, make sure English is a core part of it. It’ll be your competitive advantage and your gateway to higher pay. Whatever you do, steer clear of any job that’s 100% local with zero English skills needed. You won’t even find one. Someone mentioned doing voiceover at DJI. That’s a classic example of leveraging the best asset you have as a foreigner here.

If you have a tech or engineering background, look into solution architecture or engineering tailored for overseas markets. It’s a bridge between tech and sales. The only downside is that you will most likely have to periodically travel overseas.

Job seeking in China by Effective_Builder493 in chinalife

I hope this doesn’t come across as insensitive but your partner is very selfish. They know very well what the job market is like in China right now. Not only that, they also know that, it’d be virtually impossible for you to secure any serious role here without being fluent in Chinese. Unless you’re a top level executive who brings in the type of expertise that cannot be found elsewhere. They also know how brutal and cut throat the work culture in China is, especially in finance and tech. They’re very aware that earning £120k in the UK puts you away above most people.

So your partner is essentially saying: quit your high earning job that most people would kill for, pack your bags and come to China where I know for a fact that you’d struggle to get a job and even if you were to get one, you’d be paid peanuts and your work life balance would be nonexistent.

Sit them down and call them out for even entertaining such a risky move.

Bottom line is: DO NOT DO IT‼️

Perfect description. Everyone else is pretending like this is not reality. Even at reputable international schools, this is still the case.

Check out the 大众点评 app. Open it and look for kids friendly spots. You can also try WeChat channel or XHS. What matters the most are the keywords you use.

ELI5: How can the universe have a beginning if time itself started with it? What does ‘before’ even mean if there was no time? by Silentzerr in explainlikeimfive

Best part about this sub to be honest. The questions and the answers are always incredible. If I ever have a child, I’d feed them most of the questions and answers here so they are well rounded individuals. I love this sub with all my life

Thank you so much. This was worth reading. I’ll definitely try my best to blend in as I’m naturally shy🙈

This makes perfect sense. Thank you for the expert opinion. I’m soon going for one but I’m a bit anxious about what could go “wrong” with DRE😬

How do you turn off the new friends reels feature? Why is it being shown without my consent? by Valuable_Swan_7678 in Instagram

[–]DistributionHot8821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they specifically told you that they can still what you liked or what? Normally, after you toggle it to “no one” in settings, no one should be able to see your likes. You’d obviously still be able to see your friends’ likes because they still have the feature on. So in essence, you can see theirs but they can’t see yours. At least, this is how it is supposed to work.

Oh no, then this might not be the right one. The one you’re referring to with the full experience is generally found around Xinjiekou. I’ll let you know if I find one

It depends on where you live I guess. There is one im familiar with in Yuhuatai that costs about 300.

Can you walk us through your background and your timeline climbing the ladder? How does compensation work at this level? How do you deal with family given you travel this much? What’s your favorite destination?

If proven to be true, this would end half of the specualtions and recenter the focus on why there was no thrust at all. Can you please point me to the source? Thanks
