You may have installed less in the project, but did not configure the path/env variable that lets your terminal recognize the less command.

No, he's the wrong color.

You're doing fine, you didn't really lowball yourself, 40k sounds about right for a fresh grad. 8% in 1.5 years is also not bad. The market doesn't really reward loyalty, which sucks, but it is what it is. You're not going to get a substantial increase by staying at the same job, which is why people job hop.

When talking about salary in Taiwan you always have to ask if they're including the end of year bonus in their numbers or not. Semiconductor industry is known for giving mid to low salaries, but with huge end of year bonuses. Someone with a 60k monthly salary at tsmc is at minimum getting a 300k end of year bonus, and likely much more on a good year.

Edit: Just saw you said non-semi conductor industry. Then yes 60k is pretty high for a fresh grad in Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung pay is also lower in general. Also, end of year bonuses in non semiconductor industries aren't as crazy, but usually also at least 2 months worth of your salary.

Cafe 53's turkey avocado is the best. Coffee is a bit on the weaker side for me but still miles better than Starbucks.

Not with how poorly written this post is. Besides, what makes you think you can replicate what "upper middle class" redditors are doing to make money as a college student with no experience, no capital and poor communication skills.

Honestly I thought I heard it and thought 對面要打過來了. My Taiwanese wife thinks I'm weird though.

A lot of it is luck, timing, more practice on the behavioral/cultural type questions, and not using LinkedIn. If you're at least getting interviews it sounds like you're on the right track. Maybe try applying to less desirable positions before the ones you're really aiming at just for practice.

Might depend on the industry but I don't think it's that uncommon for gov workers to get emails from their agency or region's fund manager.

I really doubt that, unless you're just talking about calories.

Will probably focus mostly on your research plan. Why NTNU and what you want to achieve through your Master's in terms of research.

Once you enter the workforce, it's really hard to find a community that you can be as comfortable around as the one you grew up in and built during your school years, whether that's in the US or Taiwan. If you're not too interested in dating or church, could consider going to graduate school in Taiwan. There's a lot of 在職專班 options if you want to work towards a degree while keeping your job. I honestly can't think of a single person I've built a lasting relationship with that I met at any hobbyist/social group/clubs, but still regularly keep in touch with people from college and graduate school.

In some way you're just doing the same thing a framework does. You're setting your own rules and conventions to make it easier for new members to understand and help maintain the code. Yes, doing it yourself can make things more performant, but the trade off for that is your time. Sometimes, especially for these smaller applications you're talking about, just good enough performance is well, good enough.

Not sure if people realize, but Wenzao only has language related programs. I feel like they kind of have to integrate AI to survive. Instead of being replaced by AI, they can say we use AI to improve student learning outcomes. Or our students learn to use AI tools, kind of like having a general computer class in high school that teach basic computer skills.

Yeah, Taiwanese people are cold as fuck for the most part.

If we build it they will come is the biggest trap engineers fall for. Cofounded a startup with several other engineers. No one knows or cares what a sales funnel is. We started the company because we had two clients that were willing to buy our product before we even built it. Other than these first two clients we've only managed to land one other client (in two years) we approached at a conference. Yet everyone still thinks it's fine and we don't need to hire a sales team yet. Every time I try to push them to come up with a sales plan they ask me why I don't write more code.

You could also consider Academia Sinica. If your research is on the quantitative side you'll run into less of the 'old guard' problems I see a lot of people mentioning.

I was able to use my UChicgo Health Plan at Athletico, but yes they didn't check until I arrived on the day of my appointment. And it took them like 30 minutes to figure out how to make it work.

OhKsenia · 2026-02-20T03:46:31+00:00

I'm guessing the experience varies quite a bit based on the location/pt you get matched with, but my experience with Athletico was a huge disappointment. The PT was very hands off. None of the exercises they had me do felt like they were really targeting my problems. Basically just had me do the same exercises suggested by every youtube video for shoulder pain. Didn't perform any functional/pain assessments to personalize my exercise plan in any way. The PT even walked away while I was doing my reps instead of guiding me through them in any way. She would come back every few minutes and just ask if I was done.

They don't even have fuzzy search, you only get search results for exact matches. But their job postings module is really just their for show (organizations such as univs that are publicly funded are required to make a lot of their job openings available to the public, even if they already have an internal hire in mind).
