A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Ah, the WSJ, bastion of level-headed reporting. Since I clicked through to the article and read the one paragraph us free-tier losers get (one more than the rest of you read) I know that it was Huawei trying to recruit semi-conductor manufacturing engineers from Germany.
So settle down, China isn't trying to pay you $240K a year to make wordpress sites for them, it's just another front in the ongoing microchip wars.
Would I have to work in China? If so, no thank you.
If not...
3x my salary you say?
Nooooo you can't give workers competitive offers for employment, you're supposed to collude to keep wages low! Actually competitive capitalism loses us money!

As they should.
Money is the bottom line for your populace. We're the richest nation in history.
You lose your populace to the enemy over a few bucks thats on you.
This country is toast.
If I can work remotely I'm not against receiving a shitton of Chinese money.
I’d take the job and keep my current one. Then I would put in the least effort possible to keep the Chinese job. The plan would be to take in as much pay as possible until they fire me.
Why not do this to shitty US companies too? It's all the same.
The only difference is my work reputation in the US matters more to me than in china . If I lost a job in china and tarnished my rep I wouldn’t give a single fuck. In the US it’s a bit different. Maybe not by much but still. Plus fuck china.
So, eh, were are those offers, so I can avoid looking at them? Specially C/C++ ones.
So, time to lie on linkedin, pretend to be a senior engineer at some big company and wait for a Chinese offer
Plot twist, they’ll only pay in combinations of yuan and rubles.
Is it just a thing I've experienced in a Western country or don't tech types tend to lean on the social libertarian ideals including free speech? Because they may not care for China so much in that regard.
I could be convinced of anything with enough shovels full of money.
I guess some people are like that. To me, being rich isn't worth the trade-off of having to watch what I say all the time.
The loyalty is to the paycheck. Not like I am free do or say anything under current management and I assume the roles would be insulated from the Chinese government. They know the cultures differ and they would scare off nerds being evil and present.
I sure as hell wouldn't risk my life out of prison on such an assumption.
"They won't do anything to me, I'm a foreigner" is harshly proven wrong all over the world all the time. The idea that China would be any different to Joe Tech Worker when there are thousands more where he came from is silly.
I was assuming remote roles. Living in China would be too dangerous.
Same.
Depends on the corner of the tech world I think. In FOSS circles, sure.
The post is from .ee. it's not based in any reality. At best China might steal a few people from EU tech like Germany which is paid very little compared to the states. Comparing US tech and EU tech is foolish. The EU already knows it's in last place on a world technology scale.
Even in a podunk 300 person company you'll pretty consistently make 40-60k more than EU peers.
I'm confused because this is from the WSJ not a specific lemmy instance.
Yeah but once it gets posted to an .ee, it becomes fake. You'd know that if all of the senior tech workers in your brain hadn't already left for high paying Chinese jobs.
It's such a weird statement for them to make (twice). I could see questioning if it was from hexbear or maybe lemmy.ml, but WTF has lemmy.ee done to anyone to garner a reputation? I have an account there, too, and it's pretty chill from what I've seen.
Lololol yes, there is going to be an Exodus of 250k + stock salary techies leaving for China 👌👍🤣
.ee enough said.
