Does having a jacket on when it's cold warm you up?

Does speaking Spanish help you in Texas? Cause that’s the question you asked. Shenzhens primary language is Cantonese. Unless until Xi Jinping finishes cultural homogeneity in China.

Like PWC1 & AA1 said, SZ is a city where less than 20% are actually from SZ. Most people in SZ today don’t speak Cantonese and won’t understand it if you speak it to them. Hong Kong and Guangzhou are more Cantonese centric. (Speaking based on 5 years of working experience in SZ)

Speaking as a former Apple manufacturing partner that worked in SZ, it definitely helps you stand out, though it’s not 100% required depending on the role and who you’d be interacting with. Apple typically places the burden to understand the other side on the suppliers anyway (nothing wrong with it, just an FYI).

Does peeing on a saddle make the horse wet?

I think it would actually hurt your chances. Apple wants to be able to teach you mandarin the Apple way!

I think they prefer cuties

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
It is more of sitting with users to understand their process and map it to CRM suite and build additional features to map their specific processes.
I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
