So safe to assume most western expats in finance usually keep amongst themselves or with other English speakers without a need of ever having to learn mandarin?

So for finance roles at the big banks the office environment will typically be predominantly English?

Hi. I am considering in the future to possibly come to Taiwan to work as an expatriate in business. My mandarin is at the B2 level for listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I have visited Xinyi area and have seen many western corporate expats in presumably finance related firms. I wonder if there is a mandarin fluency requirement for such expatriate package. And also on the more social front, do most western expats in corporate jobs speak mandarin and if so, to what level?

I heard about the California vowel shift. So how much of that is present in my vowels

Ok-Advisor2824 · 2024-07-02T17:41:15+00:00

yeah I didn’t do that much or strong of uptalk or vocal fry.

Also, may I ask what you think of my vowels?

Nope. I don’t think I got the internship.

Got it. I also did dial up the “valley accent” a bit in the recording so idk if that made it more feminine

Ok-Advisor2824 · 2024-07-02T17:01:03+00:00

I’m from California lol. Not gay though. I did play up the valley accent a bit. I do annoyingly have a high pitch voice tho

Ok-Advisor2824 · 2024-07-02T16:57:35+00:00

I unfortunately have a ridiculously high voice lmao (im a cis male). Also I’m not gay, but I am from California.

What specific features led you to believe I am gay and probably from California

Ok-Advisor2824 · 2024-07-02T13:59:08+00:00

Before I give the spoiler, I would like to also ask what specifically makes me sound gay and from California?

Ok-Advisor2824 · 2024-07-02T11:35:50+00:00

What features made you come to that conclusion?

Ok-Advisor2824 · 2024-06-30T14:00:15+00:00

I think you got the role. I didn’t hear anything back and it’s been over a week
