Why I don't find it in China? Maybe you don't know we have the 996(work from 9 am to 9 pm and six-day of a week) culture in all most every IT company in China, and I don't like it, this makes life full of work that's so bad. So the main reason I choose Europe is because at least the companies from there are not like it in China. Why I don't find it in the US, the main problem is the timezone, there is almost 12 hours time difference between China and US, but if there is any suitable job, I'd like to apply too. Talking about money, I lived in a small city in China, so I don't have too much pressure on money, more I wanted is work-life balance.

You don't need to be so passive aggressive, especially if you are soliciting for advise. That attitude won't get you anywhere, whether it is China or Europe.

I know well enough of 996. There are different companies and positions in Chinese companies. Yea, if you are low level staff you are doomed to 996, but talented people are treated in a different way.

Just to state that as a European who has lived in Asia for 20 years, five of those in Beijing, I didn’t read anything passive aggressive in the reply, nor any attitude worth calling out as ungrateful. But it does remind one how written English is a minefield when it comes to (mis)communication.

I'm so sorry to make you feel passive or aggressive, I don't mean it sincerely. Seems like my English still has a lot to learn, I admit that I'm not a talented developer, if WLB work is only provided for the talented developer in China, then I think I have met no one in my life. Thanks for your reply and advice anyway.
