      They get paid more than the average Japanese. Many foreign companies in Japan mainly employ foreigners. US tech companies only hire English speakers, many Indians as seen here, practically no Japanese so you see the Indian guy say he doesn't need to know Japanese even though he wants to live in Japan.

    • @philosyche
      @philosyche Місяць тому +6

      ​@@downtomars6268 part of loving a country like japan includes wanting to learn the language by default. the indian guy who said he doesn't have to learn japanese is correct, he doesn't *have to* learn it, but since he said it was his childhood dream to live in japan, i can bet he already had been learning it before moving there. For a foreigner, learning a language has its pros and cons, where pros outweigh the cons. pros include convenience, being social, wider access, etc. cons include having to learn a whole new language as an adult which is no easy feat. often times foreigners have to balance the pros and cons during their time in the country. You must remember that a foreigner has to deal with a 100 new things apart from just learning a language, for example, learning customs, meeting new people, managing finances, managing visa regulations, surviving in a completely new environment, etc. so learning a language, if it can be put in the backseat working in an english speaking company, becomes an attractive convenience for them. but japanese is a language that most foreigners would love to learn, at least in my opinion.

      My cohort of ex-pats lucked out. We were in Japan in the mid 90's. The yen was in the 120's when I arrived and when I left; in between, there was short period where it strengthened to around 100. Ex-pat pay and benefits were also ridiculously (actually embarrassingly) generous at the time for jobs right out of college (you just needed decent language skills). I was able to save enough to return to the US and pay for grad school with only a modest student loan toward the end.

    Some are really struggling with the concept of comparison. You cannot convert Yen to USD and complain they're being "underpaid" when you're matching those converted payments to US COL. They're getting paid relative to Japan. You're just reading them as a different currency to make sense of it, similar to translating languages. Doesn't mean it's a direct conversion and applicable to American living. The lifestyle of someone living off $200k in NYC is going to look different numerically in Tokyo, Japan. It doesn't mean that person is poor, struggling, or underpaid.
    According to Numbeo, average monthly cost for one person in Tokyo with a 1 bedroom apartment in city center is about $1,992. There was a dude pulling $6,600+ a month. He's living very comfortably in Japan and if he were in the States, these numbers would be adjusted and proportionate to the true USD of income and COL in the target city. So if his job paid $200k/year or $16,600+ per month in the States, the equivalent Japanese lifestyle he's enjoying would've looked more like $5,000+ for monthly expenses with a monthly income of $16,600+ for true USD numbers.

    Living in Tokyo for over a year and looking for a job I decided to go back home because the average salary is just too low, as Alfred (Mexican guy) says LinkedIn (and some other sites, mostly headhunter bureaus) are good if you have plenty of working experience but you also need to be at least level N2. Also get official credentials (not only an official document that you speak at the level you claim), as experience itself will not be enough much of the time.
    I took a sabbatical so I can go back to my `old` job. I will come back in a few years but probably with my own company and making sure I have both an income in Yen and Euros. And it will be in software and maybe translations on the side (I speak 4 European languages, basic Japanese and some Chinese). If you want to be a translator, focus on Chinese and Korean as those are two markets that will give you more of a chance finding a job than English.

    A word of advice from the future: make sure you don’t set a trap for your future self.
    There are reasons why you may decide to leave Japan, and when you do, you may struggle to adapt or find a job back in the West. I think the best compromise is probably working for a foreigner company in Japan, or be your own boss. Because most of the skills you learn in a Japanese company are most likely of no use outside Japan. If you want to specialize in something, it may be hard to compete with someone who has spent the same amount of years just working on that one thing. In the meantime, you may have learned lots of things, including Japanese language which takes a long time to master at a business level, or how to negotiate in Japanese, but those skills are pretty much useless outside Japan. Everything is possible, though. Just be aware of this.
    And these are a couple of reasons why you may decide to eventually leave Japan: family & health. If your parents and close relatives live at 14-hours flight distance, and you work for a company with few holidays that only lets you visit them once a year, you may be missing out from their lives and eventually you may want to be part of that again. Also, as you grow older you may struggle with the hay fever in Tokyo during spring and then the 3 months of hot and humid weather. When you are young, you have the energy. But as you grow older you may want to live in a place with milder weather.
    I’m Spanish. I’ve lived 12 years in Japan before I moved to the UK. I love Japanese language and Japanese culture, but as a software engineer in the UK, those are just hobbies now, not skills I need for my job. I’ve moved back to Europe so I can visit my family more often. Also, I feel healthier here: weather, allergies, working hours… I don’t regret living in Japan because it’s given me so much and it’s made me who I am today. And if I didn’t have a family, I would have probably stayed there forever. I’m just leaving this here as food for thought. 皆さん、頑張ってください!

      @user-tx5pm8lq4t Місяць тому +2

      In fact, the Japanese are not that stuck.
      Unlike other developed countries, where rapid inflation has made it impossible to buy a house and people can no longer easily eat out, the situation has not arisen.
      The reasons for this include
      In Japan, the asset value of a building becomes almost zero after 30 years, there are many vacant houses due to the low birth rate, and it is cheap to rent or buy a house in rural areas due to ultra-low interest rates on mortgages.
      In Japan, you can eat a delicious meal out for around 800 yen, and Japanese food can be made cheaply because miso, tofu, and natto are cheap.
      In addition, the three elements of happiness - food, housing, and environment - are met at a minimum, with plenty of entertainment, convenient convenience stores and trains, and good public safety.

      ​@@Impozalla Money games are distorting the exchange rate, but this doesn't really matter to Japanese people unless they travel abroad.
      As always, you can eat everything from conveyor belt sushi to ramen and tonkatsu for around 800 yen. Ten eggs cost 190 yen.
      Rents have also risen in Tokyo, but in the countryside there are many vacant rooms and fierce competition for rental space, so prices have hardly increased at all.
      Meanwhile in America, rapid inflation has meant that 50% of people in their 20s are working two or more jobs because they are struggling to make ends meet.
      I've heard of people getting into debt because they can't afford to live, and there are even homeless people who are working.

There is an abundance of entertainment such as karaoke and arcades, the town is clean and safe, medical care is good, there are convenient convenience stores and trains, food is cheap and delicious, and there is no shortage of housing. Japan is truly the ideal country for Japanese people. Do you have a living environment like this in your country? If so, please tell me which country it is.
