好像除了多聽多說沒有什麼捷徑～～我身邊有很多朋友是會看喜歡的影集 然後模仿裡面的台詞跟腔調！

thanks Coco!

hi Raymond - re your questions: yes, I was lucky to have the opportunity of receiving education in English-speaking environments for a few years growing up. There is a policy for filing foreign earned income exclusion (link attached). I don't know much about it yet, but to my understanding, the maximum exclusion amount for income earned outside of the US is $126,500 USD for 2024. www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion

hi! 👋🏼 glad the algorithm introduced this video to you haha. you're right there's not a lot of brand strategy and consulting options in Taiwan, so it took me a while when I was job hunting! a few include RedPeak, ddg, Geber, etc. I have a video planned on the job hunt, stayed tuned!

@@krisliuliuawesome! Looking forward to your sharing ❤

Sorry to hear about the visa situation 😭 I hope all goes well for us! Agreed they making friends isn’t the easiest but I’m sure we’ll get there!! ✨❤️

i truly hope that doesn’t happen and hope all goes well for you!!

you’re right that 100K USD translates to 3M TWD, but I was referring to comparable salaries based on market rates! sorry that wasn’t clear

謝謝你🥹

happy to hear that! Im happy and excited for you ☺️ wish you the best of luck in this next chapter of life!

hi! maybe this is why youtube made me pop up on your feed haha, it's all meant to be! i'm also the same mix of nervousness and excitedness. wish you all the luck! i'm happy for you and your loved ones about the reunion soon :)

I’ve certainly heard a lot about this.. hopefully the work culture and environment will improve year by year 🥹 best of luck to you!

you can’t get the convenience and safety of Taiwan anywhere else 🥹 but don’t forget to take care of yourself and your body!! working in another time zone is hard on the body (which I’ve experienced first hand)

thank you so much! 🥹❤️

thank you for your kind words Joanna! It’s truly heartbreaking to see family age. hoping you and your loved ones get to spend lots of quality time together too!

yes, apologies if I wasn’t clear! I didn’t mean in terms of currency but more about how salary market rates. From my research, $100K salary in the US translates to about 1M NTD salary in Taiwan

@@krisliuliu Yes, u are right to estimate the same price of living cost by the way you do. Usually, we take the annual salary in USD * (10~12) = the yearly salary in TWD. Big Techs also go like this. However, the problem is that "it is not easy to get this annual salary outside the semiconductor industry".

ah right, I noticed that as a huge difference when I was job hunting 😅 the difference in bonus structure! thanks for your addition

依學經歷，不一定要高科技業，找個在台灣的外商，2-3m沒問題，祖父母，父母，另外加扶養親屬兩個小孩，個人稅約3-4 %

@jsnl5682 謝謝你的補充！可以分享一下大概多少工作經驗跟function可以到達2m-3m嗎？

😅笑死誰是帥醫生！搬回台灣有很多原因啦哈哈哈 有沒有看完全部原因！

沒什麼好看🤣在想東西的時候會看旁邊的壞習慣😅

thank you! did you raise your family in Taiwan? if so, I'm curious about your experience in that area. I read a lot of posts about moving back to Taiwan and most of the concerns seem to be around work culture and raising kids (inflexibility of the education system, lack of work diversity, etc).

回來了回來了🥹🥹🥹🥹🙋🏻‍♀️

thanks for the kind message! I've thought about filming a video like that but realized it's hard for me to comment on a "profile" of students that are more likely to get admitted. www.medill.northwestern.edu/imc/full-time/class-profile.html above is the class profile for 2022 (I couldn't find a more recent one), and you'll notice a cluster of majors and that the class skews young. However, that's just the "average." No matter what your background is, I think it's important to show that you have potential. I think it's critical to show that you have a level of understanding of the program and how it fits in your career roadmap. You might come from a health background, but you are looking for this program to get into healthcare marketing / healthcare branding, etc. I know that is a slightly vague answer, but hope that helps!

@@krisliuliu Thank youu for a quick reply and sharing your perspective. I really appreciate your advice about focusing on potential and aligning my background with the career goals. This is definitely helpful. Although I have pretty good extracurriculars, volunteering and internship experiences, how much role do you think the GRE scores and CGPA play in getting accepted? (I just need to get an idea about that) P.S I also have some questions about the different tracks/sequences of the program and merit based scholarships etc, would it be okay if I drop you an email or dm you on insta?

@@frizsid I think a good GRE score and CGPA are important, but it's never a determining factor for graduate admissions (my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt). I can't seem to find whether the program ever posted average scores for GRE or CGPA, but pretty safe to assume they're looking for above average as the program admissions are competitive. re: questions on sequences, sure! drop me an email, however, I finished the program 5 years ago and the sequences have been consolidated and curriculum has since changed, so I'm not sure I'll be super helpful.

to answer your questions: 1. no, I didn't go to Taipei American School! But have a few friends that did :) 2. Since the job will be based in Taipei, that's where I'll be living in the future. 3. Great question, it differs based on the month and the location (where the wind blows). I would say in general, it's moderate to low levels of pollution. Of course, there's certain months when it's worse! I haven't been back often enough the last few years to witness a pattern though, just that my allergies act up from time to time.

Thank you! I've definitely witnessed how people in Taiwan stay loyal to their companies for many years, very different to the States.

@@krisliuliu depending on your family and your partner's earning ability, raising children in Taiwan could be cheaper than the US. But, Asians do have a work hard culture, but it should be about the same in NYC though. You can always move back to the US later. Best of luck!

thank you so much! I'm looking forward to life in Taiwan!

謝謝你！之前很多朋友也有說每次都看我拍英文影片比中文看起來累看可以練聽力🤣 我之後會在台北喔！不管幾歲，我覺得想做就去嘗試做做看，不要讓自己後悔～～～加油！

may I ask what type of company you are working at? I assume the work culture as compared to the States is a lot more strict, but thought the "not leaving before your boss" and "not being able to take PTOs" is more of a myth... again, things I'm anxious about but hoping they're more exaggerations than reality 🥺

looking out at all times 👀

好！之後找機會來拍！

懂～～做這種重大決定真的令人緊張又害怕！但別忘了不管你做什麼決定，只要是對當下的自己無憾就好！加油！祝你也一切順利～

hahah thank you so much! do you feel my internal conflicts? 🤣 i try to take life with positivity as much as I can, and hope this next chapter will be better than the last!

thanks so much Marine 🥹 it's bitter sweet leaving new york, but excited for Taiwan!

hahaha yes, let me know when you're back!!

the job market certainly isn't the best in the US right now, and I'm definitely excited about the outlooks of returning to Taiwan professionally! :)

好！之後回台灣做久了以後感覺可以分析台美branding產業的差別 關於美國branding我之前有拍一些相關的影片，有興趣可以看一下，我之後有時間再拍一些統整類，講產業工作的！ th-cam.com/video/rYnv4skCsNg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/n9hh-6d5SYg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/DXMdGgYtq7M/w-d-xo.html

omg! happy to hear :) so excited for you and hope it all goes well!

摯友hi
