Alternatively, you can help represent Chinese firms to Americans, considering you are one of the few Americans who speak Mandarin, and understand the nuances of how Asians are perceived in US, which Chinese firms don't have a clear understanding of.
- vacri 9y ago> Although sounds like you already have a headstart by knowing Mandarin I'm currently learning Mandarin, mostly for fun, but I do have this fantasy that it will make me more employable in future (currently an anglo-australian monoglot). Of course it's total fantasy, because if you want someone technical who speaks both languages, you just hire a Chinese expat, who not only speaks both English and $chinese, but also understands China far, far better than I ever could. And if you're wanting someone who can speak the language, a deep understanding of the culture is obviously also desirable.
