Are you ready to leave traditional carmaker to join NEVs or Internet+ carmakers?
Many talents currently working in MNCs are considering joining local companies or start-up NEVs. You may ask why? Beside the potential for a lucrative offer, middle to senior level talents would take this opportunity to break their career ceiling in MNCs, achieving more personal value and enhancing decision-making power. In a sense, it is another way to explore entrepreneurial faculties. On the other hand, NEV-"New energy vehicle" is a general trend and strongly supported by Chinese government hence more likely to be backed by local or foreign funds.
