2/24 Getting tired of Bay Area. What is a good place to look for
technical jobs abroad? I speak Chinese and some Japanese.
\_ Are you talking about Web sites or actual locales?
\_ Check out Shanghai.
\_ tell us about the stars^H^H^H^Hhookers aaron
\_ shookers?
\_ aaron? try sky.
\_ Actually, if you are into software, then, I suggest
you look at Beijing instead. Northwest part of Beijing
is where most action is... having said that, I am not
sure how to go about this, as I am not originally from
mainland. Those who are from mainland, please fill
up the detail.
\_ Taipei or Tokyo. Shanghai if you're a pioneer.
\_ related: anyone know about how the pay falls off for software
engineering positions as you go overseas? eg, Europe, asia,
latin america. I'd like to try living/working somewhere else
for a while but don't want to sacrifice alot of pay.
\_ expect: $10k rmb/mon in china, $50k ntd/mon in taiwan
\_ where do you get the $10K RMB figure. Starting
salary for software engineer is about at max
$2K RMB. Unless you're in a real senior
position, $10K RMB / month is a lot at the
local standard.
\_ I also heard 10k to 20k, but this is for
people with a few years of experience in
US.
\_ About 10% (ie. 90% off) of the pay here of you go to India, but
you can live like a lord with that pay over there.
\_ There is a salary survey in http://www.asiaweek.com archives -
2001 (data for 2000).
\_ it would be nice if someone can share his/her experience on
working abroad (specifically, China and Japan). i am
interested on ASIC design opportunity. -original poster |
