I don't know about this company. I don't like where the company is headed, and if they had been in this position 18 months ago when i originally applied, i probably wouldn't have applied. On the other hand, it's not a terrible place to work, especially in Taiwan where most of the other choices in my area of expertise are adtech or full-blown cryptocurrency/finance. I really need to sit down and think about my plans. It's not as simple as just quitting when the job starts to suck, because i have my immigration status to consider aswell.
I definitely don't plan to become a regular betel nut chewer. I'm aware of the downsides, although i am not sure how much worse it is than cigarettes. I'll never forget reading an article years ago, right when i had cut down to one cigarette per day, which said that one cigarette per day puts you at just as high a risk of cancer as a pack a day. Like, the fuck man. Three of my grandparents died of cancer. My mom died of cancer. I am basically destined to die of fucking cancer and my only hope is that somehow i will die happily before i get that horrid disease. And yet... even knowing the risk, i can't seem to kick having the occasional cigarette - which is now less than one per day for me, but still not none. I'd love to find something else which hit the same spot of relieving work stress in the evening without ushering in my doom any quicker than it's already coming.
