My 1st year contract with zero copywriting experience was set at 70K/month.

Is the 70k your base salary or does it also include bonuses? I found Taiwanese companies are very reluctant to increase base salary, but they’re happy to give bigger bonuses based on performance reviews.

However, I want to add that I already accumulated 10 years of unrelated corporate experience in the states.

Not to be rude, but you’re still a junior writer then. 1 year of experience doesn’t mean too much. Also wage increases due to inflation are not really a thing in Taiwan, everything is based on performance.
