I wish, it's really difficult to find a job in Taiwan without speaking Mandarin on a native speaker level

Did quite a few applications, made it pretty far in recruiting processes but in the end whenever they wanted me to get to know the company and the team, it was totally clear that I wouldn't be part of the society without the language

even in international companies like SuperMicro and HTC, all engineers just speak Chinese all the time, big part of them are unable to speak English in the first place

Interesting

oh right

sighhh

tfw azn 😭

We actually got quite some offers here out of taiwan

what kind of business are you in?

student, but electrical engineering with focus micro/nano

My lady is pretty average I feel

In terms of height

I just found one company in Duisburg on Friday which is looking for an embedded software engineer who is willing to spend a considerable part of his time in Taiwan

I'm probably going to apply on Monday

My point was that i assumed the big boys would speak more english over there too

I assumed the same, not just for big boys but for international companies in general

have some Chinese torture devices with good ratings

You're an embed engineer, or similiar?

this vibrates if your kid tilts their head slightly

@porco To first chink the chink you must understand the chink

Dunno, the first one looks to me like it'll actually hurt posture

I'm a software engineer, I have a little embedded experience on elevators from an internship some years ago, but their stack is unusual for embedded devices so I don't see a problem. They are looking for C++ / QT which is really no big deal

Although this company is making industrial labeling machines

*industrial labeling machines*

I can smell the Germanes

Duisburg, you can't go more German than that

Ruhrpott has always been the most German area of Germany for me

Eeh, Duisburg is pretty turk tho

I haven't been to Duisburg, just to Essen and Gelsenkirchen

and Gelsenkirchen was...

really German

Essen is also really tuk

Unfortunatly Cologne is not very german, as they got their own thing going

I think Stuttgart might be actually the most "German" German city

I always thought the Swabians have their own identity and consider themselves "Schwaben" before considering themselves German

like the Bavarians, too

They do, but very few Swabs are actually in stuttgart city

Or at least don't act like that

From the germans i've worked with, they say the work life at german engineering companies sucks

*That's because you actually gotta work at a german company*

hannover is pretty german german
