Look for a Job or Internship in Taiwan

Hi, I’m Antoine.
I lived in Taiwan for more than five years. I first came to Taiwan to study Chinese, stayed to complete a Master’s degree at National Taiwan University, completed several internships during my studies, and later worked for about two years in a local Taiwanese start-up.

I didn’t approach Taiwan as a short-term exchange or a “gap year” experience — I tried to build a professional life there.

What that actually involved

Like many foreigners, I had to figure things out without a roadmap:

• navigating student, internship, and work visas
• applying for jobs as a non-native speaker
• working in mixed Chinese–English environments
• adapting to Taiwanese workplace culture
• understanding why some roles are accessible to foreigners — and others simply aren’t

I’ve experienced both the opportunities and the structural limits of Taiwan’s job market.

What I help you with

I help you make clear, realistic decisions about working or interning in Taiwan, including:

• Internships vs full-time roles (and which visas actually make sense)
• Common visa dead ends and misunderstandings
• Industries that actively hire foreigners — and those that rarely do
• Salary expectations, negotiation limits, and cost of living
• Workplace culture, hierarchy, and communication styles
• Recognizing when Taiwan is a good career move — and when it may not be

This is not about motivation or generic job-hunting tips.
It’s about context, constraints, and strategy.

This consulting is for you if you:

• Are exploring Taiwan as a serious career step
• Are already in Taiwan but feel stuck or plateauing
• Are unsure whether to pursue an internship or a full-time role
• Are comparing Taiwan with China or other Asian job markets
• Want a reality check before investing months of applications

If you’re looking for promises of “easy jobs” or guaranteed outcomes, this won’t be a good fit.
