I have some questions about working in foreign companies?
Thread Content
Can production technicians working in foreign companies continue working until retirement? Do foreign companies have a concept of retirement? Or is it that after reaching one’s 40s, when performance in all aspects declines, you’re then dismissed? Also, if you apply for a position as an engineer, is that a final decision, or is there still a chance for promotion? Are there five social insurances and one housing fund? What are the regulations for becoming an engineer in foreign companies?
Foreign companies generally provide five social insurances and one housing fund; there is also the possibility of retirement, as well as dismissal. Any company will have people who are dismissed. Whether a person can be stable depends not so much on the company but rather on their personal abilities (a company can still go bankrupt even if it incurs losses). The original poster has too many worries. Be open-minded – every company needs employees who work diligently. If you are such an employee, then if the company fires you, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bankrupt. Since the company will go bankrupt, isn’t it better to leave?

If you work in a foreign company, especially one in the marketing sector, as you get older you either get promoted to senior management positions, but the number of such positions is certainly limited ； Either switch to another position or become your own boss. But it’s different when it comes to technical work or services, as such jobs require experience and knowledge accumulation. Being older means you have been working for a longer time and have accumulated more experience; if you leave the company, you take that experience with you. New employees, lacking such experience, need time to build it up.
Yes, some experiences and skills cannot be acquired in just one or two days; the longer you work for a foreign company, the higher the cost for that company to get rid of you
