Can I bring my dog and my asexual life partner? It’s okay none of us can breed and I’m volcel anyway.
CHINA is SHOOTING at INNOCENT WESTERNERS with MONEY and JOBS!
Wait fuck if I finish my degree I can escape???
Fucken a you can. One of my highschool friends is a world-top-tier mathematician and he’s spent most of his adult life working in China doing work way below his capabilities just because he gets to be left alone and live outside of the western hegemony. Mufucka turned me on to communism when we were like 12. It’s a shame really, in a better world he’d be the sort of mind that could solve serious fucking problems. But I think he’s mostly happy with how things have panned out.
The only downside is it’s hard for ex-pat workers to have true security in China (or has been, might’ve changed VERY recently) due to restrictive visas and few pathways to full citizenship for westoids.
I mean, they are still taking pretty much anyone with a bachelor’s degree as an English teacher in China, Vietnam, Thailand, SA, Korea, Japan, etc. Just get a TEFL/TESOL certificate and it shouldn’t be hard to find a job that will get you a work visa in another country.
maybe the West shouldn’t have done massive sweeping industry-wide layoffs then
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/
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?
Free markets BTFO
Tell me where and how and I’ll sign the fuck up
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 have heard of Africans who got jobs with Chinese companies. Doubt it’ll ever happen in Guatemala with our lack of tech talent lol
I suspect China will be courting your country too soon enough. Even if it won’t be offshore work they’re investing in infrastructure all over the planet. I love to see it.
The west, honestly, is shitting BRICS right now. The US dollar is no longer the uhh, idk what the word is, you know “lingua franca of finance” for the whole globe. New systems are emerging to replace everything being pegged to the US dollar and the price of oil. Crypto currency, funnily enough, is likely to have a big part to play in neutering the ability of the failing empire to do any effective sanctions very very soon, but also there’s stuff to do with distributed financial resiliency based on traditional local currencies. I don’t understand it but I think QAnon or Trillbillies or Buntavista did a very recent podcast episode on this.
World’s changing, comrades. Really fast. It’s going to be a wild couple of decades to come.
Be the change you want to see in the world! I don’t think anyone would stereotype Africa as a hub of tech talent either
What can a tech mediocrity get?
Fyi if you’re from the West it’s highly likely you’d hate working in China in the tech industry, it is a grind, even the none 996 companies
Was looking here the other day incidentally, looks like there are a bunch of jobs of all kinds https://www.echinacities.com/
Why did I graduate art school and not tech. It’s like I’m trying to not have a job
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
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
Please choose me next xi, #SOSUSA
: “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!”
