Fantastic video! I really appreciate how you present the good and perhaps more challenging realities of living and working in Japan in an honest and straightforward way. Anyone who dreams of working in Japan should be clear-eyed about what it will be like, and videos like this are truly valuable. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
It is normal to constantly job hop for better opportunities in the US, especially in IT. I have heard people in Japan stay in their jobs longer, usually for life. Going through a technical interview/coding challenge every few years sure keeps you grinding. Rather stay in a company long term if you're happy with your role, but everyone in the US is climbing that ladder.
My impression is changing every 4 years or so in IT is fine, but when there are 2 or more stations with just 1-2 years on your CV, that might be an issue. In my previous company, it was considered a red flag.
I guess it's quite a lot tougher to get a good job in Japan than in EU. I prefer working shorter hours that are more intensive. In EU, I've been able to find enough companies who allow me to do that. Would probably be more difficult in Japan
Johannes, it is interesting you took so many examples from the other people you talked with 🙂 Do you think the work ethic is derived from the post war era or has it been endemic in Japanese culture for much longer?
Ah, the examples part also has to do with the defamation laws in Japan. So even if it was my negative experience, I couldn’t say so publicly without risking legal issues. I imagine the social structures established in the Edo period have carried over to some extend, not wanting to experience surprises in front of others of similar status, etc. But I’m really not an expert on that.
SIR I WANT GO IN JAPAN BUT I NOT COMPLETED MY GRADUATION IN INDIA. BUT CAN I ABLE TO GO AND LIVE THERE FOR REST OF MY LIFE IN JAPAN AFTER MORE 4-5 YEARS EXP IN INDIAN IT COMPANY. BTW NICE VIDEO I LIKED IT ALREADY SUBBED. WAITING FOR NEXT VIDEO.
@@JapaneseJourney Yep them. maybe work environment may vary depending on the team, but engineers are treated as second-class citizens, and worse for external contractors. Worked for them.
@@sleepdeprived9181thanks for sharing. That doesn't sound like a great culture to work in. I guess many also see it as a stepping stone for coming to Japan.

I think so.
For me, it was also working intense, but normal to a bit longer than normal hours (8-10 usually). Great way to burn out.
Great now I feel bad for watching your video during work...
Thanks for the informative video as always ❤
Haha!
Glad you liked it!
how many days or months that you were able to get your working visa?
I never needed a working visa. For some of my colleagues, it was usually between 3-6 months.
@@JapaneseJourney okay thank you

Do you think I could get a job in Japan with a computer science degree?
The real question is should you?
you could but have some experience first in ur home country
Nice good place
Cheers 🍻

You mean Rakuten? I've never worked for or with them but heard it highly depends on which team you're in.
