I totally understand your situation~ I'm currently working remotely for a international company, it's not very healthy for my body and mental status. Still considering the solution, but I don't want to leave Taiwan and move to Europe. Taiwan is my sweet home, living price is resonable and the society is super safe.
you can’t get the convenience and safety of Taiwan anywhere else 🥹 but don’t forget to take care of yourself and your body!! working in another time zone is hard on the body (which I’ve experienced first hand)
You are so brave to come to this decision! I moved back to Taiwan 3 months ago from New York because I lost my work visa, it's 5-6 years of life I built that I had to give up. I did not come back willingly but there's nothing else I could do with the situation. BUT it really is an amazing opportunity for me to deepen my relationship with my family and enjoy my job without worrying about being deported. I wouldn't say I'm satisfied with my life now (trying to make new friends is not easy) but it has been comfortably challenging (if that makes sense). Excited to see what's more to come for you and me both!! :D
You are very wise. Spend time with parents and grandparents parents before they are too old is so important. Age creep on people and before you know it, our parents are too old and can’t walk, or talk, or travel anymore. I wish I had known this earlier. It’s hard breaking but enjoy your folks while they are still able to talk to you, to share feelings. To play together, to see things, to travel. Good for you! No place better than to do all those things in Taiwan.
thank you for your kind words Joanna! It’s truly heartbreaking to see family age. hoping you and your loved ones get to spend lots of quality time together too!
For some reason, your video popped up on my feed! I totally understand how you feel. All of my family and my partner are in Taiwan (also always been long distance with my bf), I will be moving back from London to Taiwan at the end of this month. It's nerve-wracking to move back, but when I think about my family, I know it will be worth it
hi! maybe this is why youtube made me pop up on your feed haha, it's all meant to be! i'm also the same mix of nervousness and excitedness. wish you all the luck! i'm happy for you and your loved ones about the reunion soon :)
Personally, while I personally enjoy living in Taiwan, I find working in a local company less appealing. Despite my deep attachments to the country, the workplace culture is marred by unprofessional practices, including what I perceive as blackmail, and ineffective organizational communication. These aspects make the work environment quite challenging.
I am doing the same thing very soon. Quit my job and move to Taiwan. Don't even have friends and family in Taiwan but I've always wanted to live in Taiwan and tired of the life in the US. I feel like if I don't, I will always regret my decision and wonder what if. So your video is kind of inspiring to me
Welcome back to TW, saw your video by chance （not really？alogorithm😂） I’m working In FMCG marketing field in Taipei ,just curious what brand strategy/consultant option locally 🤨
hi! 👋🏼 glad the algorithm introduced this video to you haha. you're right there's not a lot of brand strategy and consulting options in Taiwan, so it took me a while when I was job hunting! a few include RedPeak, ddg, Geber, etc. I have a video planned on the job hunt, stayed tuned!
1. Your English has minimal accent. Just curious as to if you had an English education before arriving in the US to study at Northwestern? 2. You are claiming to be Taiwanese American. So assuming you have US citizenship, your income in Taiwan will also incur US taxes, correct?
hi Raymond - re your questions: yes, I was lucky to have the opportunity of receiving education in English-speaking environments for a few years growing up. There is a policy for filing foreign earned income exclusion (link attached). I don't know much about it yet, but to my understanding, the maximum exclusion amount for income earned outside of the US is $126,500 USD for 2024. www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion
yes, apologies if I wasn’t clear! I didn’t mean in terms of currency but more about how salary market rates. From my research, $100K salary in the US translates to about 1M NTD salary in Taiwan
@@krisliuliu Yes, u are right to estimate the same price of living cost by the way you do. Usually, we take the annual salary in USD * (10~12) = the yearly salary in TWD. Big Techs also go like this. However, the problem is that "it is not easy to get this annual salary outside the semiconductor industry".

Sorry to hear about the visa situation 😭 I hope all goes well for us! Agreed they making friends isn’t the easiest but I’m sure we’ll get there!! ✨❤️
love all the comparisons and think process!
glad you enjoyed it!

I’ve certainly heard a lot about this.. hopefully the work culture and environment will improve year by year 🥹 best of luck to you!

@@krisliuliuawesome! Looking forward to your sharing ❤
You sound like “you grew up in America.” Very fluent!
thanks Coco!
Your tax brackets are incorrect for Taiwan. You’d be paying circa 20% with USD 100K / TWD 3M
you’re right that 100K USD translates to 3M TWD, but I was referring to comparable salaries based on market rates! sorry that wasn’t clear

妳好勇敢!
謝謝你🥹
想請問英文是怎麼練的！
好像除了多聽多說沒有什麼捷徑～～我身邊有很多朋友是會看喜歡的影集 然後模仿裡面的台詞跟腔調！
100K USD~=3M TWD
yes, apologies if I wasn’t clear! I didn’t mean in terms of currency but more about how salary market rates. From my research, $100K salary in the US translates to about 1M NTD salary in Taiwan

ah right, I noticed that as a huge difference when I was job hunting 😅 the difference in bonus structure! thanks for your addition
依學經歷，不一定要高科技業，找個在台灣的外商，2-3m沒問題，祖父母，父母，另外加扶養親屬兩個小孩，個人稅約3-4 %
@jsnl5682 謝謝你的補充！可以分享一下大概多少工作經驗跟function可以到達2m-3m嗎？
you will regret someday, just like me.
i truly hope that doesn’t happen and hope all goes well for you!!
