[Taipei, September 12] As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Taiwan’s tech industry once again enters the annual “September bonus season.” While many engineers are busy flaunting their payouts on PTT and Dcard, an undercurrent of “post-bonus job moves” is already surging behind the scenes.
According to senior tech headhunters, breaking into multinational companies with annual packages starting at NT$2.5 million requires more than technical expertise—solid spoken English skills and a competitive TOEIC scorecard remain critical filters for top-tier employers.
To address this, online education brand TutorABC has launched its “Engineers to Multinationals Program” this month: purchase designated workplace English courses before month’s end and receive over 37 complimentary TOEIC guarantee classes—helping Taiwanese engineers transform their careers and step confidently into global enterprises.

“This is a game of information asymmetry,” a semiconductor industry headhunter noted on Threads. “Taiwanese tech giants are famous for hefty bonuses and seasonal perks. But top multinationals offer a far stronger package—higher base salaries, RSUs, and signing bonuses—often pushing total annual compensation past NT$2M or even NT$3M.”
He added: “I see many highly skilled Taiwanese engineers who absolutely have the capability to thrive in multinationals, but their lack of English proficiency often eliminates them in the first round.”
This “English barrier” exposes two common struggles:
1. Zero foundation and fear of speaking
Many engineers, long focused on R&D, have let their English lapse. The typical case: “I can read technical documents but can’t deliver a full self-introduction in English.” Faced with an English HR call or online interview, their minds go blank—missing the chance to showcase technical expertise.
2. ‘Chinglish’ undermining professionalism
Others possess basic English, but struggle in professional contexts. Accustomed to mixing Chinese and English (e.g., “call with client 康扣,” “who opened the spec”), they falter in fully English cross-border meetings, unable to articulate complex technical points convincingly—weakening their voice in global discussions.

To help engineers overcome these challenges, TutorABC created the dual-path “Engineers to Multinationals Program”, tailored for different levels:
“Zero-Foundation Speaking English”: Rebuild confidence with bilingual guidance
Designed as a safe, low-pressure “sandbox” for engineers who’ve long neglected English. Internationally certified bilingual instructors provide one-on-one guidance, strategically using Mandarin support at early stages to rebuild logic and confidence. The course focuses on high-frequency scenarios such as self-introductions and interview prep—aiming to deliver immediate readiness for first-round interviews.
“Workplace English for Professionals”: Industry-specific fluency for advanced contexts
Developed with Oxford and Cambridge experts, this track targets engineers with existing foundations who seek professional polish. Going beyond daily conversation, it immerses learners in industry terminology and workplace simulations. Key training includes English project presentations, cross-border negotiations, and upward communication—enabling engineers to transform technical expertise into authoritative influence on the global stage.

Charles, a former senior engineer now at a U.S.-based multinational, shared:
“At my old Taiwanese company, earning NT$1.5M annually felt decent, but something was missing. TutorABC’s program helped me overcome my fear of speaking English. Today, at my new role in a U.S. firm, my base salary plus RSUs have pushed my package past NT$3M. More importantly, I can now confidently advocate for my team and projects in global meetings—earning recognition from my managers.”
Mid-Autumn bonuses may reward past effort, but real career value comes from investing in the future. Instead of envying others’ paychecks, consider investing this bonus into English skills that compound over time.
This month, TutorABC offers a limited-time promotion: enroll in any designated workplace English program and receive up to 37+ free TOEIC classes. Seize the moment—plan your next career leap and elevate your market value.
