Young Graphic Designer Interested in Moving to China in 5-10 Years
Hello, I wanted to ask if many questions in correlation to the graphic design market in China, especially as someone who is just starting and wants to leave and start anew. I am very stressed with where I am at, and looking at posts that have been made online already has not been helpful. I want honesty and sincerity when it comes to these questions, so do not hold back:
What is the market looking for when it comes to Graphic design in China?
If I get a job in the country I am in right now, how could I transfer it to China?
How can I make my portfolio stand out?
I am bilingual already in French and English, and learning Mandarin. What else should I learn, and how should I go about it?
What should my long-term and short-term goals be for this move?
Is this a smart idea? I do not like where I am, and I am very passionate about design. I have always wanted to go to a new country and am thinking of visiting before I make this big move, too.
How much would the annual salary be?
What should my focus be (I have been focused on UI/UX primarily)?
What city should I focus on? What area of China should I focus on?
Is it foreigner-friendly? Can I easily get a job as a foreigner?
I know these might be silly questions, but all the Reddit posts I come across are dated and or do not answer my questions fully. I want to be able to get current, up-to-date answers from people who are passionate like me. I understand I might sound immature, but I am delaying this because I am still working on my degree and want to transfer a great portfolio before I disrupt my life. Thank you, everyone!
