Small vs Big Chinese Tech Companies in Southeast Asia | SEA Product Manager | Chinese working styles

Описание: How is it like to work in big Chinese Tech companies like #bytedance, #sea, #alibaba , #tencent , #huawei, #iqiyi, #trip.com and #netease?

Why don't we hear about smaller Chinese Tech companies at all?

What is a Chinese way of working?

Why don't Chinese Tech companies use #google or #trello for work?

In this episode, we find out how it is like to work for big vs smaller Chinese Tech companies. You might wonder - why smaller? Because a "smaller" Chinese tech company isn't "small" as we know it - those Chinese tech companies that expand overseas are already at least 1000+ people strong!

Today I talk to Chan Wei, a senior product manager at NetEase and ex-Garena, shares about his experience working in a myriad of Chinese Tech Companies in Southeast Asia throughout his career. He is an insider on Chinese Tech companies with some unique insights to share. Find out how he transitioned into Product, starting from being a business analyst in CARRO, now a Southeast Asian unicorn.

This is an episode that you will not want to miss!

I make videos every week about what it's like to be a product manager in Southeast Asia.
