    Wow, that's disgusting! Where would someone go to get bombarded with these tech job offers? You know, so I can avoid them?

    Surely, this is just a case where the invisible hand of the free market will be trusted to solve this issue without any intervention from Western governments and those aligned with them, no?

    maybe the West shouldn't have done massive sweeping industry-wide layoffs then

    I don't have any marketable skills but you could hire me as a western jester. If you tell me to dance like a monkey I'll do it. Please China, please 🥺

    I have heard of Africans who got jobs with Chinese companies. Doubt it’ll ever happen in Guatemala with our lack of tech talent lol

      Be the change you want to see in the world! I don’t think anyone would stereotype Africa as a hub of tech talent either

    Why did I graduate art school and not tech. It's like I'm trying to not have a job

      Fyi if you're from the West it's highly likely you'd hate working in China in the tech industry, it is a grind, even the none 996 companies

    a friend of mine was telling me about some friend of his who went to grad school in China right after college. i dunno if it was even tech, but he had studied mandarin in undergrad.

    his first several years, he would comeback for the holidays and big family stuff. then he got some job there. over the years he would return less and less, until eventually he just stopped coming back to the US.

    can you imagine? it sounds like something out of a fairy tale.

    Staff with access to sensitive Zeiss know-how received LinkedIn messages, emails and calls from Huawei representatives, offering them up to three times their salaries to join the Chinese company, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

      Also, it's 3x typical tech wages. Even outside the typical tech hubs, that's still a high paying position, and you'd be making that much in a country with a massively lower COL.
