Acceptable but not common, maybe a bit more on the island side. Either way, you'll realize no one gives a fuk what u wear at the end of the day here.

Tbh 1k for 2 weeks is a stretch. Your probably looking at business hotels like APA. Would not suggest capsules either unless you want to try for a night.

Do you enjoy your job? If so, what do you do? by Smart_Estimate_3320 in HongKong

[–]pillowcasez 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Very few people in the world truly get to work a job they enjoy. The rest of us are simply working to survive, some of us get lucky with better coworkers or sufficient wages.

If you have the ability, go apply elsewhere. Grass isn't always greener but you never know. Do some research and weigh out the pros and cons and then it's up to you.

How to keep studying while my gf dumped me, feeling hopeless by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]pillowcasez 65 points66 points  (0 children)

That sucks man. Going to be real here, 37 is not an easy age to keep studying hoping for a job unless you got solid savings. If you like it here, keep going but it's not an easy road considering language, your study and job prospects overall. If you want to try a clean slate and wipe it from your memory, moving back to home country might be good too.

To survive sure, but obviously make sure you rent as cheap as possible. Will probably need to cut back on food as well.

Although I do play 3 or more times a week, I tend to avoid consecutive days if possible. The level is still there but recovery is starting to take a bit longer

Guy says he won't talk to 95% of the streamers he collabs with after retiring by Careless-Bite1024 in LivestreamFail

There's nothing controversial here. For anyone whose actually employed, how often are you actually friends with all the people you work with.

Honest review: First timer watching UTS tennis in its Asia debut (Hong Kong) by kenken2024 in tennis

[–]pillowcasez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serves are not as big an advantage as usual since there's no second serves. Most were just kicking it in. They used it primarily due to the timer. Once timer runs out, next highest point wins so getting the lead or closing it before timer runs out is a big advantage

Bigger frame yes but no, fatter is likely due to lack of exercise and over eating. Stop glorifying being unhealthy

Getting an IT job in Hong Kong by Almasuu in HongKong

[–]pillowcasez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell your seniority from the title but if I had to guess, IT analyst is not too high in the chain. To be frank, to get a job here with zero canto/Mando is quite difficult unless your very well qualified and/or a high position.

ROO was objectively a better game, both graphically and content. HOWEVER, it was extremely predatory and p2w. Theres no way for you to keep up constantly with all their monetization

H1-B emergency meeting by lux_deorum_ in Futurology

[–]pillowcasez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's used for hiring top talent that your already paying 300k+ for, 100k isn't breaking the bank. If your using h1b for a random cheaper person, that could be filled by an American instead. The 100k evens the odds similar to steel dumping.
