I sympathise - I moved to Taiwan to be with my girlfriend and I'm having almost zero luck job hunting here so far; it's definitely not helped by the fact that my Mandarin is terrible, but at least I have plenty of free time to practise!

I wish you the best of luck; I went through this once before in my home country and it felt rough until I finally landed a good gig after months of nothing - hang in there and do whatever you can to look after your mental well being in the meantime.

I’d recommend looking for remote work and not jobs at local companies. Taiwan even has a special visa for those earning a minimal salary from a remote tech job with tax benefits. I don’t know what tech jobs pay in Taiwan but do know that salaries for graduates are very low, which is why so many young people moved to China to work in the 2010s.

Thanks for the tip; I've been trying that too but no luck so far - do you have any recommendations about where I could find that kind of work? Recruitment agents in my home country (UK) seem not to be interested.
