i assume this is a typo? otherwise i'm a little concerned about a culture where a 22-year-old has that much work experience, haha.
curious if you could talk a little more about the experience of finding a job in china, and what differences there might be from applying for jobs in the west.
and not sure if you have any experience with this - there's quite a bit in this thread about it being difficult if you're not ethnically chinese, but is there discrimination against overseas ethnic chinese who are not familiar with the language or culture?
for context - i'm thinking about working in china for a few years, primarily to build fluency and an understanding of the culture. i'm western-born; my mandarin is 'pretty good' but it's obvious from my accent and the way i put together sentences that i'm not native. i'm concerned that i might not be afforded the same leniency in misunderstanding the language or cultural norms that non-chinese westerners might receive.
