R1: Be respectful. No directed offensive language or personal attacks are allowed. Profanity is allowed, but not if it’s directed at others. Racism, sexism, and slurs or similar remarks are not allowed in either English or Chinese, including in usernames.
R2: No bad faith behavior. Bad faith behavior can include combative argumentation or statements intended to disrupt others’ points of view rather than engaging with them, attempts to provoke others into being caustic, making derisive remarks that add little value, or otherwise participating in discussions to the detriment of others. Making extreme unsubstantiated claims or sharing materials that are low in substance but high in outrage may also lead to removal.
R3: Media policy. Memes, images, videos, gifs, and other types of media are allowed but are strictly moderated. Media regarding real life people and events should provide appropriately sourced background context or risk deletion. On a spectrum from daily life musings to cultural commentary to political soapboxing, moderation of media will tighten. Media concerning topics that have already been discussed at length will likely be deleted. See also r/ChinaMemes
R4: Post title policy. Posts with low-effort, editorialized, provocative, inaccurate, sensationalist, or misleading titles will be removed and may result in a ban.

WFH is not an option for me at my current company, even though i just shit around an excel and various adobe apps. I need to be in the warehouse about 15% of the time but they want me in this warehouse on a computer 100% of the time. and i spent a LOT of money relocating thinking that this salary is massive and i'll make the money back easily.
Then just make sure you can leave China whenever you want. You're probably American.. But you likely won't be targeted but remember that could change fairly quickly.
I don't know. China's a hole but if you earn in the higher brackets (you do, by default) then it's obviously convenient.
yeah, thats the dilemma. although, i will say, after spending the last 6 months east of LA in the inland empire, its just as much of a hole as china is, as shitty as with worst parts of dongguan, except minus the public transportation and a lot more homeless and violent crime. It just is what it is.
China is convenient, but the constant threat that the government could one day take you away and lock you up in a light without so much as letting you know why is always looming
you could try to find a new job out before moving back to China. Plenty of jobs out there right now
i already sunk too much into moving to the inland empire (massive mistake) if had to give that up and start over AGAIN i would rather just do it in china where it's cheap, east, and there is a built in social network for expats
