What do you think?

I used to drink soda a lot younger then. I no longer drink them aside from using a can every half a year to do cooking (for the effects, not taste), and that was in 2015.

In fact, if you quit soda (and drastically reduce sugar intake), you'll find sugar and those soda stuff very overwhelmingly. At most a sip. The claim is not hard to resonate with.

Curious question to all you investment experts. The SPY/VOO guys did not improve since 2015 and even now. Proponents of the SPY/VOO are based on the 2008... which has been rising until 2015. So how is investing into index fund ETFs still relevant today? Just earn on dividends?

Just to clarify in case people still have the impression that Canada is good for immigration: Maybe Canada is better than America for immigration, the experience is getting worse.

After the new immigration minister came up in July 2013, the government has changed policies to make immigration slow and the path to citizenship much harder.

1) A Labour Market Opinion (LMO), which is required before a work visa, itself used to take 6 weeks in 2008. This process now takes about 6 months (my case, which is not too slow) to 1 year (another friend's case, and plenty of people in forums). For the work visa, add another 2-6 months on top of it, and then you have to apply the temporary resident visa.

2) Path to citizenship (having work visa => permanent residence => citizenship) used to take a total of 4 years (roughly), now is changed to 1 + 2 + 4 (7 years), a significantly longer time frame.

I get the feeling that Canada is changing its opinion of welcoming immigrants.

Disclaimer: Used to live in Canada, but have left.

The community in Shanghai has grown more vibrant these years. Though, few people tend to join the community (those recurring faces don't really count) actively but it's growing, slowly.

Multiple comments mentioned that this occurs in HRD as well.

You are not alone, though I'm not one, but taking more responsibilities could mean more business trips, etc, which would contradict your list of priorities such as "being with your family more and watch your 1 year old kid grow". Some of my friends have taken a very conscious choice to NOT get promoted.

Another good example is to keep working in the coding, rather than spending more time in people. This is pretty OK in US (assuming you're in), but much less viable in China in general, where most people expects you to be managing people than developing.

It seems there's no contact details.

Right. The point is whether someone would register the company only after revenue starts pumping in, which looks odd to me now.

Thank you Grellas. It is really insightful and informative advice, and immensingly helpful for me to think more.

I will incorporate your suggestions and guideline into my decision. Thank you!

It seems it's an overall very negative position to be in, aggregrating all the replies.

thanks. I think I need to re-consider again very very seriously.

This looks to me a likely and very miserable position to be in, and embarrassing.
