Just two days ago, a friend told me dejectedly that his plan to "run" to settle abroad was ruined.
is a bit surprised.
After all, in my opinion, this friend's life trajectory has come to this day, which is exactly what the outside world often says "Other people's children" and "Winners in life" :
directly admitted to the top 2 for the college entrance examination. At the age of 30, he became the director of the leading industry, an annual salary of 3 million , has a house and a car in Shanghai, and has successfully established a family. A son and a daughter are smart and cute.
At the beginning of this year, for various reasons, my friend decided to take his family abroad to live and start the second half of his life.
His immigration plan is also very clear, just two points:
. Developed countries, the social system is mature, and it is guaranteed whether it is living standards or welfare;
. A good educational environment can better cultivate children.
But from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, he concluded that it is really difficult to bring his family overseas to live a stable life! !
even questioned himself many times. As a member of the ordinary new middle class in China, have you already missed the golden opportunity to move overseas?
Due to work reasons, I often get in touch with the trends of various countries about overseas identity and real estate allocation.
Frankly, I don’t think my friend missed the opportunity to "run" abroad, but his idea was wrong.
Middle class, especially the upstart class, has indeed had a lot of demand for identity configuration in recent years, but we cannot focus on the ways of a few top rich people.
Because the biggest difference is that Rich people can live well anywhere in the world with their assets , but middle class wants to maintain the current standard of living, has to rely on a stable and high-paying job .
I want to find a job at the same level as the mainland overseas, especially developed countries in Europe and the United States. There is a possibility, but the difficulty is really not low.
ONE
Can you find white people to work, why do you find Chinese?
Before, another friend in the United States shared his experience with me. This is what he told me:
I am in a Chinese company in a central state, a non-IT company, with a large scale and many Chinese people, but to be honest, it is relatively low, because Most Chinese people have no better choice for professional reasons, and stay in this company (there are a lot of majors in chemistry, materials, chemicals, environment, machinery, etc.). At most, the company will apply for a work visa. There is basically no chance of a green card, and the salary is low, so it will work overtime at any time.
Many people who graduated from famous domestic schools (985) don’t want to do it and don’t have a better choice. has no better place to change jobs in the United States. It is a waste of youth and H1B. It took only three or four years for six years. Some people have changed jobs, but most of them are just ordinary American companies, and very few have good choices. Some people who are both from back-ranking colleges and universities are very happy to do it. They think it is good to find a relatively stable job in the United States. As for green cards, it is a question that will be considered many years later. Everyone should understand the mental activities here.
Many people have been working for about four years, and there is no hope of green card and no hope of changing jobs in the United States. Many people (especially many people who graduated from good domestic schools) have returned from overseas one after another. Looking at their LinkedIn, we found that we can basically find positions in the China R&D department of large multinational companies, or leading private companies. And these multinational companies are in the United States, and they are currently determined to be unable to enter.
I later thought about it carefully. Many Americans, especially whites, are still very racial plots in their hearts, no matter how left-leaning their words and deeds are. The same position, as long as you can find white people (or Americans), you basically won’t consider foreigners , especially those in non-CS fields, where manpower is oversupply, and they can always find white people who can work, even if sometimes they are worse than foreign students.
Especially if your American school is average, it is even more difficult to pass the interview, regardless of the interview performance. I think the dynamics of these white people should be: You spent two years studying such a broken university, and you want to be on an equal footing with us in the United States?
In China, you are a graduate of a prestigious university in C9 and 985, but others do not recognize your education;
You are the director of a certain company in China, but it is even more difficult to jump to an overseas company of the same level;
Not to mention that even if you successfully find a job, Chinese people still have invisible ceilings that are difficult to break through in the European and American workplaces.

"I spent tens of millions of immigrants, but I couldn't even find a job"
Phoenix TV had filmed a documentary called "Living Somewhere else", which recorded three Chinese families who immigrated overseas.
The experience of one of the families impressed me deeply. Wang Xiaochun and Ding Yong are a couple from Beijing. Both of them graduated from master's degree from famous domestic universities. Wang Xiaochun is a project manager of a large state-owned enterprise company. Her husband Ding Yong is an engineer. The couple is also considered a gold collar in Beijing.
Since having a daughter Huanhuan, the couple began to feel a little uncomfortable with their originally safe and worry-free life. Children's health and education problems have become the biggest reasons for their immigration.
In Wang Xiaochun's plan, he planned to let his father immigrate first, and then return to China to pick up the family after buying the house. " Mars Plan " was undoubtedly successful, and they quickly realized the "immigration dream".
However, Wang Xiaochun, who has such ability and is "worth a thousand gold" in Beijing, immigrated to New Zealand but found that he could not find a job no matter how he submitted his resume and was all over the sea. Previously, there was a company where Wang Xiaochun felt that he had met all the requirements of the recruiter, but after , it ended in failure after a full three hours of interview.
And a husband who masters high-tech skills also hits walls everywhere because of his weak language. In the end, I could only open a studio in my own garage, mainly facing the Chinese domestic market. Now the economic income of their whole family also mainly comes from fixed customers in China.
House Ding Yong said: "In China, we have won ourselves a lot of security, but there is nothing here. "
However, Wang Xiaochun, who is deeply involved in the trivialities of life, still hopes that he can find a job and truly integrate into the local society. She didn't want the children to feel that she could only be a full-time housewife who took care of the family.
"A hard-working mother should make her children more proud than a mother who is entangled in family matters all day long."

End, the important thing is to choose the right idea to start with
I have also said that I don't think I have missed the golden age of configuring my identity, but I need to find the right idea for the middle class.
Since the middle class cannot fully rely on "food benefits" to achieve financial freedom, Don't blindly learn the path of the rich, otherwise you will likely "play" yourself to death.
determines this idea, and the first prerequisite is to go to a place where you can find a job of the same level.
I think there is no place that is more suitable for the new middle-class group in the mainland than Hong Kong.
First, the language is just a few words, and the popularity of Mandarin has steadily increased. , especially in financial enterprises in Central, Mandarin is no longer rare. In order to undertake business in the mainland, many companies directly state "Mandarin plus points" in their recruitment information.
Second, Hong Kong is also vigorously introducing mainland talents. In the latest policy report released by Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao some time ago, he released a series of talent introduction measures. For example, Hong Kong Talent Plan cancels annual quotas, which directly does not limit the number of people approved each year.
also launched the "High-end Talent Pass Program". People with annual salary of HK$2.5 million or more per year, as well as those who graduated from the top 100 universities in the world and have accumulated three or more years of work experience in the past five years, can be issued a two-year pass to Hong Kong for development, without a limit on the number of people.
It can be said that Hong Kong's hunger for mainland talents is no less than any first-tier city in the mainland. The Hong Kong government is spending a lot of effort to compete with other cities for talent resources. At this time, it is undoubtedly the best policy dividend period to obtain Hong Kong identity.
Third, Hong Kong is a Chinese society. Whether it is Hong Kong-funded, Chinese-funded or foreign-funded enterprises, it does not discriminate against Chinese , nor does it have a workplace ceiling. The space for personal development is undoubtedly broader than that of Europe and the United States. Fourth, many people configure overseas identities, and the starting point is the education of their children. There are 54 international schools in Hong Kong, such as the famous Hanji, Hong Kong International School , Singapore International, Dray, Yingji, Harrow, Sao Paulo , etc. The popularity, credibility and world recognition of these international schools are unquestionable. In the future, it will be more advantageous to go to prestigious British and American schools. Moreover, the eight local public universities in Hong Kong are very strong, of which 5 are ranked in the top 100 in the world. The chances of children obtaining top educational resources are much higher than those in the mainland.
Of course, the most important thing about is that Hong Kong identity and mainland household registration can coexist (see this article for specific methods: Can you not give up your mainland household registration with Hong Kong permanent residence? ), you can also get Hong Kong identity without having to give up your mainland household registration, and even live in the mainland, and you can also enjoy more Hong Kong talent measures, and have more advantages in taxation, house buying and children's education, which is beyond the reach of any overseas identity.
What are the benefits of Hong Kong identity in the mainland?
Nowadays, more and more Chinese families have traveled abroad to the ocean for their children's education. However, they seem to be glamorous and beautiful, but they also have their own boredom and distress abroad.
In addition to the difficult cultural differences, what makes people psychological gaps the most are the employment differences at home and abroad and the huge social status caused by them.
However, since is at the doorstep of the house, it can solve the problem, why should we still go to the near and seek far away and achieve half the result with twice the effort?
