things changes faster than I expected, already in China for two weeks. The first few days with family, that was precious, and the last spring festival at home was 5 years ago.
life in China
I am searching jobs in China now, the recruiters are highly efficient. almost in 24hrs, a reply return; and they prefer wechat rather than email, Liepin ranther LinkedIn. on the other hand, I went to tongji hosptial at Wuhan for a doctor appoitment, but stay in the line waiting most time. People are everywhere, even in a third-class city, like my hometown, I can only find two caffe shop to sit down and use the free wifi; the skyline buildings are everywhere, the evening scene feel like in the movie: Matrix.
in USA, I never touch the real China, which is attracting but concerned. As many of my friends in USA, we always talking about China, but never take a move back to China. Till the moment I stand in China, things are real.
In general, if people looking for a stable middle-class, USA definitely is a better choice, with few career pressure, 8 hrs a day, 20 days PTO a year, large house with green grass, and income is about 2 times highly as the same engineering in China, without considering 996 in China.
people back to China must think big, rather than looking for a stable income.
self-driving in China
OEM level: Changcheng, Audi, Volkswagen, Geely, xiaopeng, Beiqi, and many names I few heared before, are investing in new energy, intelligent vehicles, and self-driving cars and expending, the market sounds high to hell. there are about 500 start-ups focusing on component supply chain, e.g. in-vehicle sensors, network communication infrastructure, platform solutions, AI algorithms to chips design, specilized scenario applications(mining, seaport, airport, logistics, warehousing, city bus, city-cleaners)
it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. many start-up companies will die so sure, but the market is the training course for next BIG.
The second half of 2018 is my time to feel everything is accelerated.
