If you wanna work in East/South-East Asia, what are your options?

Seems all corporate jobs are very hard to get by as they require a sponsor and local language. Top corporations (not sucking dick of overlords, just in terms of size/salary etc) jobs like front-office finance, consulting etc all require language and are super competitive for the local people alone. Others are too small to sponsor.

Based on my research if you want to work in Japan, SK, China etc you either need to be in software dev or be a teacher - either in a subject or English.

Note: Exclude remote jobs + just living in those countries.

You need to wait a year or two for these idiot asia countries to get past their clown world covid policies.

I’m on an expat assignment in China right now, but with a company I worked for for 6 years beforehand. Very few foreigners are going to be getting hired in asia for a while.

^^^Why? Now is the perfect time to do this. Company doesn't even have to know if it's work where you don't ever have to go to a physical location. You can even use a VPN to make it look like you're still in the U.S. if that's an issue.

Now is not the perfect time because you would not even be able to enter these countries without significant paperwork.

You are on some work project assignment that is there temporary.

I am pretty sure what I said in the OP still applies, Covid or not.

I would like to get opportunities in companies there and build a career for 2-3-5 years there. My salary is competitive enough to live in Seoul, Shanghai right now but I still don't want to do it that way.
