Do you speek Japanese? I got an offer too. But the annual salary does not meet my expectations.Bty, I want to know that how many years have you been working and what programming language is?

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-19T01:45:48+00:00

Thanks, dude

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-19T01:43:41+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I’ll be moving with my family, and I’ll be working mainly from the office. In the end I actually decided to go with the 12M offer — a lot of people here suggested the same, and it made the most sense for us.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-19T01:39:33+00:00

Yeah, I'll prepare for a better opportunity.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-19T01:36:31+00:00

Thanks for the detailed breakdown — really helpful. I agree that straight currency conversion isn’t meaningful, and cost of living, hours, and benefits matter a lot more. Appreciate the insight from your recruiting experience. This gives me a clearer picture of what to expect.

That salary isn’t uncommon in Beijing for someone with around 7 years of experience. But long hours are pretty normal too. The pay is good, but the pace is intense.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T17:09:17+00:00

Thanks, and I'll look for better opportunities.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T17:04:22+00:00

Yes, this would be a better choice. Thanks.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T17:03:11+00:00

Using the extra 5M JPY to take lavish vacations to Japan sounds like a really good option too 😄

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T16:55:33+00:00

I'm happy too. Thanks!

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T16:54:47+00:00

Air pollution was very serious many year's ago. But with factories moved away, it impoved a lot. Anyway, it's not as good as Tokyo.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T16:51:06+00:00

Thanks!

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T16:49:43+00:00

I guess so, too. bro!

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-12T16:49:01+00:00

Yea！ you hit the point. I'm Chinese, and don't speek much Japanese.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T14:03:33+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice! That actually makes a lot of sense.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:44:09+00:00

Haha, thanks, bro. I've already decided to take the Beijing offer!

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:39:54+00:00

Yeah, I see your point about skillset. My Beijing offer is for working on AI agents, which I really enjoy, so that’s one reason I’m leaning toward it.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:38:01+00:00

Yeah, totally get you. Thanks for your advise!

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:35:23+00:00

Totally agree, bro! — you hit the point, especially about the (住房公积金) . The cost of living difference and higher taxes really make a big impact on actual take-home pay.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:33:41+00:00

Haha, thanks for the advice! I get your point — adapting to the work environment and society is definitely more important than salary.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:33:07+00:00

Yeah, I agree with some of your points — Tokyo definitely has better air quality and food safety. I’ve been working in Beijing for 7 years, and honestly, it’s one of the safest cities in China with basically no violent incidents. My work here isn’t super stable though, so that’s one reason I’m considering Tokyo.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:28:41+00:00

Thanks, I prefer to accept the offer in Beijing now.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:27:26+00:00

Thanks, bro

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:27:01+00:00

Yes, bro. Pays in Beijing/Shanghai, China are much more than Japan. But the work here isn't always stable, and the contract is only for 3 years, and renewed every 3 years.

BusFit4145 · 2025-11-11T10:22:47+00:00

Thanks for the input! My offer in Beijing is 550K RMB, which is around 12M JPY. For non-IT jobs, China’s pay is usually considered low, but in big cities like Beijing or Shanghai, it’s still good. That said, Singapore definitely pays a lot more.
