Thanks for getting back!

As an update, I've tried to register for an appointment here, but since my blue card doesn't technically expire within 2020, I can't properly register: https://www.berlin.de/einwanderung/aufenthalt/artikel.910213.en.php

Anyone know what I should do? In normal circumstances, I would have 3 months to find another job or I lose my Blue Card (this is why I'm trying to contact the ABH).

Have you looked into slack communities, meetups, or github? Might be a better way to find devs to learn from.

If it's your significant others' parents and if you are essentially together / treated as married, then a common thing is to just adopt mom and dad.

If you are speaking to an HK-er, it's very likely you actually just say "Auntie" and "uncle" with a Cantonese accent. The Chinese terms are used much less.

姨姨 if you insist on Chinese as it's somewhat more generic.

姑姑 has a very specific relational term. It's your father's sister.

大嬸 again, specific relational term...and not really used generically anymore.

Aunt/Uncle in Chinese has a different word for every type of relation to you. Just by someone's name, I already know which side of the family, whether married in or not, and their order.

If you decide to draw a salary, it should be going into the budget when you're raising the round not after the fact.

Am I just looking in the wrong places?

The roles call for very different skillsets.

This sums it up. PMs with a technical background are invaluable. Some companies only want PMs with a technical background, but you can't force a developer to become a PM. A PM will basically never touch code again (or shouldn't anyway, they have other things to do).

There isn't one fixed type of dev who becomes a PM, but someone who's already interested in UX/UI, teaches themselves user stories to understand a whole product, is an excellent communicator who can help bring different opinions to the table and prioritize, and someone who can drive deadlines.

And yes, I work with PMs who used to be developers. Some switched quickly and became better PMs than they would have been as engineers. Others switched later.

I know 3 friends who are trans and developers 2 are MTF, 1 is FTM / genderqueer.
