> What kind of package makes it appealing to cross the Strait?
In software and consumer electronics, it's been a while that salaries in mainland China are a lot more competitive than in Taiwan. My friends from Asus, HTC, BenQ... are now making 3x their previous income at companies like Huawei, Oppo, OnePlus, Microsoft, Apple.
It's probably a bit harder to lure people from the industry's current best, but in my experience there's always plenty enough of mid-level managers and senior engineers who think they could do better if they were given more ownership. And here there's almost no language or cultural barrier.
- actuator 6y agoIn a free market economy wouldn't this lead to salaries rising in Taiwan as well? Granted that Taiwan has less domestic consumption potential, but for export its companies have done well and Taiwan is more developed as well. It should be able to compete with salaries across the strait. If we assume state interference by state funding this out of its pocket, then I guess Taiwan might find hard to compete on its own.
