Hello! I was wondering what specific computer science degree and discipline is the best way to move to a tech sector job in China? Like, AI or Software Developer or such? I’ve heard of people having their company move them to their tech branch based in China, and that would be my preferred way to move abroad. I also plan on getting a Masters Degree at a Chinese university once I sort out my Associate’s degree and Bachelors Degree.

    Dude please don’t, you’ll be crushed by the work culture in Chinese tech

    If you want to work for a Western companies branch in China though, that culture will be way easier and it’s mostly lower level hardware devices related software jobs since it doesn’t require sensitive data. Think embedded programming, firmware development, Operating Systems, etc.

    Working on RISC-V processor design would be exciting. Embedded systems would give you a wide array of options though on different sized companies. The pay was significantly less for me compared to web dev or something but I was in smaller companies working on dull projects.

    How do people get into embedded programming? A couple of answers here have mentioned it. Would the best way be to buy an Arduino or raspberry pi or something like that and then pick a random tutorial or project to tinker around with them?

    I would look at the current job postings what kind of skills are in demand in China. Chances are, most of those are still applicable couple of years from now on.

    How do you find that information? Someone else might have a better idea of that. But I also see many people learn very interesting software niches for which there are close to no employers in my country (not China).
