a friend of mine was telling me about some friend of his who went to grad school in China right after college. i dunno if it was even tech, but he had studied mandarin in undergrad.
his first several years, he would comeback for the holidays and big family stuff. then he got some job there. over the years he would return less and less, until eventually he just stopped coming back to the US.
can you imagine? it sounds like something out of a fairy tale.
sounds like something out of a NYTimes propaganda piece tbh. RIP your friend, the CCP got to him

This is someone who upgrades from an American expat to an American immigrant.
Wow, that’s disgusting! Where would someone go to get bombarded with these tech job offers? You know, so I can avoid them?
Beware

google China job board and you can find plenty of jobs to apply to https://jobs.echinacities.com/ https://www.hiredchina.com/jobs https://www.laowaicareer.com/
I’d love to be poached but I’m afraid I’m just tech, no talent.

Your number of Chinese students that go to the U$ does not match the info I can find, most stuff I see says ~280k/year. There has been a pretty large drop over the past few years, and the number peaked before COVID. This drop in students has caused funding issues for U$ universities, as foreign students pay a lot more in tuition than domestic ones.

Yeah the unis in my country are having a big cry about it because they spent the last 20 years increasing executive salaries and not doing much else so without the constant and growing cashflow they’re kind of fucked.
Also don’t forget the US (the entire Imperial Core, really) make conditions in the Global South unsafe, forcing people to migrate the only place that’s safe: the Global North. Then they gatekeep and only let the wealthy or educated in.
They exterminate the underclass while siphoning capital and brain power, making the situation worse in a feedback loop. Isreal has the same strategy to try and force Jews into moving there. Spread antisemitism abroad, then claim to be the only safe place for Jews.
: “Whoa…I’m richer than ever…I have been having the best past five years of my life! I think…I think…”
: “I’ll fire everyone and have those that remain pick up the slack, clearly I don’t need so many workers!”
: “Hello western tech workers, did you get burned by porky? Here, come work with us.”
: “Whoa whoa whoa…that’s MY reserve army of labor to sit on and do nothing with!”i request bombardment by job offer, yes on my position please. danger close is a risk im willing to take
Surely, this is just a case where the invisible hand of the free market will be trusted to solve this issue without any intervention from Western governments and those aligned with them, no?

I don’t have any marketable skills but you could hire me as a western jester. If you tell me to dance like a monkey I’ll do it. Please China, please 🥺
If you tell me to dance like a monkey I’ll do it.
Can you afford to get there on a tourist visa? I forget the name for “white monkey” jobs but there’s an industry (and I think still demand) for sure. Also just about any university qualification can get you an English teaching job in a bunch of actually-existing-communism countries still. I know that’s out of reach for most people but fuck it, if you leave after graduation who’s gonna try and debt collect the loans? lol

I guess that’s the natural outcome of underpayment. The west should be freaking out.
Me please I am tech
Staff with access to sensitive Zeiss know-how received LinkedIn messages, emails and calls from Huawei representatives, offering them up to three times their salaries to join the Chinese company, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
3x? LOL ok if they came to me with that id be willing to degrade myself for the position. xi pls
Also, it’s 3x typical tech wages. Even outside the typical tech hubs, that’s still a high paying position, and you’d be making that much in a country with a massively lower COL.
I shouldn’t have ghosted that recruiter a few years back

State funding for Chinese companies enables them to offer salaries beyond what Western companies can pay.
but muh free markets!
