no I just don't like it here

can't speak to anyone

I'll admit the best part about teaching English in China is the time off. I know we are wage cucks in America, but when I taught English I got 3 weeks paid time off a year, plus China has like 3 weeks of holidays , and then I was allowed a break for 3 weeks to visit home

Try to get into xiaomi, they rejected me only for lack of written Chinese

everyone assume I know chink so its a lot of hassle with intetaction

Honestly in America it's common just to get ten days paid time off and then holidays. But the holidays fall on random days so it's impossible to travel

Here, they structure it so the weekend coincides with holidays usually, so you can at least get 3-4 day weekends

I like my current gig the best because I work from home on my PC and I make my own hours, so I pretty much can do whatever I want. Work plus travel together

I want to stay in firmware/software

pretty hard since I don't have an computer science/ele eng degree

Do you want to stay in china? You would probably enjoy Shanghai and can probably get a job

Oh, yeah that'll be tough then

China don't hire much of those people as far as I'm aware

Yeah not much

@plasticsword what degree do you have?

medical engineering

but my project was pretty electrical/software heavy

800$..

Can you do much with that in China?

Depends on the city

My old City wuhan had 11mil population and people considered $800 a month a good job for a man in his late 20s

Like, that's considered middle class apparently

I know a guy that basically stays at a hotel for 1k rmb a month

I know a guy that basically stays at a hotel for 1k rmb a month

Damn that must be a shitty hotel haha

The minimum I've found for hotels that will accept foreigners is like 120rmb

Otherwise if you're a local you could certainly find a hotel for like 50rmb

But my God do they suck

his place is okay

its one of those place you can buy but he doesn't want to since its so cheap

its not too bad

especially for 1000rmb

There are hotels that won't accept foreigners? Why? @kaetaa

Foreigners have higher standards and complain too much <:chink:323022148870602752>

Yes I just found the same answer on the Internet

Also low end hotels can't be bothered to register you at the police, which they are obligated to do

@kaetaa what are u doin for work these days?

You did?

Dear lord, I just made that up..

95% of the hotels in China will just turn you down if you're a foreigner. Can't be arsed to register you to police

I'm not shitting you.
