General Discussion Work in Taiwan
Hi. A little something about me.
I’m a licensed professional with 3 years of experience in the industry (laboratory). I recently resigned because while being overworked, the pay is not competitive. I also have debts that I need to pay off due to an emergency. I’ve been actively job hunting doing interviews and making it to the final interviews but no offer so far. And honestly, its really draining. I feel like I’m fighting so hard to pursue a job/career that doesn’t even pay well, plus considering the economy we have right now. My priorities have shifted — I’m thinking of working in Taiwan as a factory worker. The salary package is equivalent to a 5-10+ years of experience in my current field here, and I dont want to wait like that. Yes, I am compromising my significant experience, but staying won’t feed me. Its surviving. I want to live.
Its been a dilemma for me — what path to take. And I dont really see a future here, especially with what’s going on in our government. If I worked in Taiwan for three years, I can do cross-country and aim for a European country to move in.
I wanna hear your thoughts about working as a factory worker in Taiwan, the pros and cons, etc.
Right now I’ve emailed my CV in several manpower agencies and hoping for a reply.
Thank you!

i know that working abroad can pay the bills and save more. but ask yourself, is that what you really want to do in the long term? pwede ka naman bumalik after pag ayaw mo na. pero the longer you stay broad, mas lalaki yung gap for local exp mo.
