Well, if the work culture in China's tech industry improves after this, it's time to seriously consider moving back to China :)

Still, it would be much more useful to compare total compensation, at least for late stage startups and public companies. Maybe that's something to consider for the next update?

The base salary portion would not be too different

Later stage startups also have equity packages similar to FAANG based on their valuation.

That would be a lot more interesting but it's also super hard to compare equity for public companies and different stages of startups. It probably makes better sense to split the companies into different categories and then do the comp

I guess language barrier is the main issue here? In western companies, it's also hard to advance to high/exec levels if someone cannot communicate in English well.

It's not only ads, every AB test you run needs tracking user data

Yeah, I don't think it's a problem and I'm not convinced by the article at all. Also, if an app/website don't track user behavior and improve themselves based on data, they are most likely going to be defeated by th
