[Confidential] Career/Life Advice
The following is a post by an anonymous Revscene member
My parents have a well established business that involves contacts in China. They have expressed interest in having me eventually one day manage or take over. My career path is obviously up to me and they respect that. I知 considering moving to China to gain work experience and improve my mandarin. I am somewhat fluent -> scored 90% on the mandarin provincial challenge in HS. I can write maybe a one page article with very limited vocab. if I read a newspaper I can probably only read 1/3 of it. My conversation skills are a lot better in contrast.
Some background information:
I知 23. CBC. I知 currently very comfortable and happy in Vancouver. I have job security. I知 still searching as to what I want my career to be. I have doubts whether Vancouver will mold me into who I want to be in the future, and whether there is sufficient opportunity. I feel like there are stricter limits on how much $ I can make compared to China where I will learn more and grow at a faster rate.
I知 seeking general advice as I致e pretty much made the decision to go. Would be cool to hear from others that have been in a similar situation or are currently working or living in China. What are conditions like?
