I interviewed for an electrical controls position, but they said I would also need to support drawing mechanical diagrams: The interviewer believed that electrical controls could mostly be learned within six months at most, whereas mechanical engineering was truly profound. If you said that electrical controls needed to support electrical welding in order to install sensors, I could still understand, but electrical controls supporting mechanical drafting?? Aren’t the drafting staff working?
They kept emphasizing the difference in salary structures between northern and southern Taiwan: Aside from Taipei City, there’s really no difference in salaries or cost of living across Taiwan, okay? A bowl of beef soup in Tainan costs NT$100, which is more expensive than a boxed meal in Taipei.
They were unwilling to discuss the salary during the interview: It seems they’re even afraid of offering pay.
Looks like I’d better not return to Tainan to look for a job after all.
