CHINA'S TECH GIANTS ARE RECRUITING HIGH SCHOOLERS

Chinese tech companies are increasingly seeking out high schoolers to fulfill research and internship roles due to insufficient talent in universities. Creativity is increasingly valued for roles such as product managers, and it is believed that younger candidates may be more likely to imagine things that do not yet exist.

The conversations need to happen now, as a lot will change in the next two to five years.
