But the salaries are really not bad. Most employers write it on the job ad
1.3 - 1.5 kk ntd / year are usual for a developer in Taiwan
Which is also the usual German salary
Was talking to my aunt who lives in Denmark yesterday and holy shit they get 6 weeks off yearly
Was mindblown
What's so special about that?
Ohh got it.
6 weeks is a lot even for European standards. 5 is the usual. In the beginning when 5 became usual, I thought it was a lot, now, I can't really get along with just 5 weeks and aggressively accumulate overtime to make it 6-7
one week is pretty usual for most of Asia, no idea how they get along with that
also they're pretty strict on working times. From what I saw, most companies won't give you flexible working hours. Also overtime compensation is (at least in Taiwan) not guaranteed (although most international companies do compensate overtime)
But for example I know that at SuperMicro in Taiwan, your overtime goes straight to /dev/null
You are supposed to work 40 hours per week and if you do more, that's your problem
6 weeks is usual in Norway?
5 weeks is the normal, but 6 weeks is not uncommon
Many companies give one week extra to attract employees
taiwan is a beautiful place
it's what china should've been
why didn't the republic of china win?7
Because the people were unhappy and the communists quickly gained the necessary power
@plasticsword can you confirm
Or anyone here who lived in china
I never learnt mandarin so I don't know shit about that
Never get anything from a chinese manufacturer unless they have some sort of reputation
Yes
Iirc this wasn't surprising to anyone who lived in mainland china
@Julian got it. Definitely not gonna learn Mandarin then.
Learn Korean become a white token guy <:alismirk:230784726615588865>
dealing with these people while not knowing mandarin is worst though
yeah but if I don't know mandarin I have an excuse not to @plasticsword
@Sdeck37 what's a white token guy
and why korean instead of japanese, isn't japan bigger and less scummy?
The same as a black token guy in the west
You see them mostly in tech giant advertisements. The wage is shit though.
screw that, I can't be fucked about idols or kpop @Sdeck37
I think I'll try japanese
>I'll try
I found a guy who wants to learn czech
So you won't do nothing
probably
