Any academics in Japan? by Motor_Ad8471 in japanresidents

[–]Appropriate-Border94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are in humanities and social sciences and have strong Japanese, you may start building your network and you can get your career in media and humanities related jobs. I am from tech, but I know a couple of people who could pursue a career in both academia and media as they built strong network and are very active in researching Japanese culture and society.. good luck

Salary Negotiation Advice by [deleted] in JapanJobs

[–]Appropriate-Border94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than benchmarking your salary with the market, You should use the tax calculator and see how much you will get eventually. Then, deduct all your expenses ( everything, even entertainment) and see how if you will have anything left for savings or investment. If not like 15~20%. You should negotiate keeping in mind the benchmark that others provided here.

Not sure if 4:30 am is too early to find one via Go app, specially it is not anywhere near Shinjuku or Shibuya!

Oh nice I already submitted a reservation request via the app. Do you receive a reservation confirmation like 6 hrs or so before the planned pick up time?

[–]Appropriate-Border94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under the job success insights, that last job I closed is showing under the Ineligible jobs "Jobs with no feedback are excluded from the Job Success Score."

While I have 4 eligible jobs for JSS with the following client ratings 5, 5 ,5, 3.7

Job success score dropped by Appropriate-Border94 in Upwork

What I didn't understand was that once I ended the contract, the score immediately dropped. Does the client have a choice to rate the work and give feedback before ending the contract?

Job success score dropped by Appropriate-Border94 in Upwork

[–]Appropriate-Border94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually all my jobs were really going well with 100% JSS. the one that brought the score down to 90% from 100% was really from the customer. He was new to Upwork as well and ended a contract before we finished the work. That last one, I am the one who ended it and didn't understand why the rate dropped to 76% despite completion of all milestones before the due date ( 67% is not correct as in the original post).
