I got a retention offer too. But only for 10k for spending $2k
I just renewed the Amex gold. I will use it for another year and cancel it for real this time. Whoever likes to play this coupon game they can go for it. I am out.
I would say New Zealand passport. Their passport cover looks pretty
We don’t have kids yet but expect to have one next year. That’s why I am torn between the ideas of having him getting a NWOHR or NWHR passport. I understand if he gets a NWHR, our kids would be immediately eligible for their residency in Taiwan in the future if they choose to.
I think it eventually boils down to his decision. And as for me and myself, I am also comfortable living in the states and can’t see myself living and retiring in Taiwan as well. I am thinking about an NWOHR passport for him solely for the purpose of our children’s potential needs in Taiwan ( maybe too premature 😆).
I think he doesn’t care about the health care in Taiwan because his aunt had to come back to the US for cancer treatment from Taiwan while she supposedly had health care in Taiwan, because the cancer treatments are more advanced in the US for immunotherapy. that’s why he didn’t think Taiwan’s health care is as advanced as it is in the US( I can’t argue against that since I am myself working in biotech industry).
So recently I have been torn between these two options and I am glad that I found your posts here. I appreciate your opinions and thoughts since I have no one else to speak to. My hubby didn’t even want to have a NWOHR Taiwanese passport at all in the beginning until I pursuaded him and promised to do all the paperwork for him!
Thank you so much OP for this very detailed process! I am starting to apply for a NWOHR passport for my spouse who was born in the US while both his parents were from Taiwan and got married in Taiwan.
Personally, I would like him to get the NWHR passport so our future children could opt to settle in Taiwan much easily if they choose to in their life. but he doesn’t seem to be very enthusiastic about getting a full citizenship in Taiwan cause he can’t see himself live or retire in Taiwan ( he doesn’t speak Mandarin fluently and can’t read or write Chinese).
He argues that if our future children can also apply for their own NWOHR passports as children of himself (2nd generation foreign Taiwanese), they can decide in their later life if they want to go to Taiwan and live there for couple of years to apply for their own residency.
He is content with just a NWOHR passport. He doesn’t not care about the health care in Taiwan or voting there. And will probably never travel to a country which is hostile to the US on a Taiwanese passport. He is not fond of the idea of having a Taibaozheng to go to visit China with unlimited time for stay. In general he is more culturally and comfortably tied to the US than Taiwan.
My question is that what are your thoughts about the above? What could be compelling reasons given his situation to get a NWHR passport ?
Thanks a bunch!
Do both master and cpa . I did and am a director at the age of 38.
I would be satisfied with 250k for base salary.
God this guy’s Beijing accent is so authentic
I am in biotech. I am learning new stuffs every day. You have low opportunity costs to switch career paths when you are still young.
Ah I was a fresh graduate and didn’t know what I liked until I tried it. I did couple of audit internships when I was still in college and hated it. Then I did a tax competition in school and wanted to try that as a career. But I realized doing tax for study was different for doing it to make a living . So I switched back to accounting .
They didn’t . I mean career choice is a personal preference. I realized that I didn’t like tax when I started working on it. Too dry. It was like reading a manual.
Very simple: tell them the truth that I didn’t enjoy tax and couldn’t see myself devoted in this field in long run. I still liked general accounting better.
Changed two jobs but still working remotely from home since Covid started
其实如果是再正常或者亲密的国家关系环境下，这只不过是有趣的语言不同点。比如在美国你不会说trousers而是说pants，但是如果对方国家跟你关系不好，就变得有点敏感了。
我以前就是加拿大留学毕业的，不仅找不到工作连电话面试都找不到，然后被逼去到美国，一个月什么都没做在家里躺平就莫名其妙拿下三个offers（当时我有美加两国绿卡/枫叶卡）。
美国人更加友善，多伦多人像是带着面具版的纽约人，实际上很mean但是受到加拿大这种“友善”的社会压力不得不带着虚假的友善面具
Ok

Let me lead you to a secret: no one cares about the brand name.
Exactly. I am an accountant which is a self-ordained title. Anyone can call themselves accountants if they manage their own personal check books. You don’t need a degree for that.
Now go ahead and apply for an accountant position in Delta. I am sure they will take you in.
Best comment ever!
What would excite you if AF raised on Amex Gold?
