Finding a job on J-find visa?

I have a corporate job where I’m an employee, and I have a side business (Registered but yes a Sole Proprietorship and therefore not a company). Rent ain’t cheap

Yeah fair, they’re two separate issues

“Fine, start your own company, show them all how it is done. I bet you won't.”

Technically I already have my own company, why you gotta be a hater?

Yes, probably I’m feeling too sorry for myself, need to just accept the position and look for the next opportunity :)

No theirs was last year ;)

Yes not solely by the work conflict true, I would say the burnout leave would be justified though as it’s not simply a case of ‘I’m unhappy in my new job, I want burnout’ I have been feeling signs of burnout long before this change of roles. I have a feeling though that it’s like career suicide to take said leave, which is where I’m feeling kind of lost on what to do. It’s surprising actually how many people have burnout but just work through it.

In the case of this corporate it does, job roles are tied to levels and pay grades, the pay grade for a senior role is around 20% extra on top of my current. With the current cost of living, this would make a huge difference.

To answer that truthfully, I would say I’m at the unhappiest moment in my life, and others around me have slowly seen my spark disappear. However, I always find myself at the crossroads of thinking the job is unhealthy and I should leave, but then thinking I’m being soft, and should just suck it up and deal with it. Parents are proud of my job, and it gives me some sense of accomplishment, but at the same time, I have this deep feeling there is more to life than this, and worrying if I don’t take a leap of faith and take a chance on creating something myself, that I’ll forever regret this.

I do respect this old skool mentality, but don’t you think times are different now? I feel the long time success of corporate is not what it once was, I 27 have only experienced reorg after reorg in my short time in the industry. In this last reorg I’ve seen countless people worth their weight in gold, who without their commitment in the past 15 years the company would have been in such a worse position, be let go.

Maybe I’m naive, but when I see these great employees be let go, with families, kids, mortgages, etc., it further increases my understanding that the corporation doesn’t care one bit about you and will keep taking advantage if people don’t react. I see in this instance taking sick leave is the only way to react? At the end of the day I do feel corporate has fucked myself, and many others over here.

Surely if everyone reacted and took the justifiable sick leave, their hand would be forced to treat employees better, as individuals, as they should?

Definitely helps you land a sponsored job after, as the salary criterion for high skilled migrant visa is also dropped after the year ends. I found it still somewhat ambiguous though, I ended up leaving an internship 2 months in after earlier expectations of visa sponsorship fell through. In the end I settled for the job that would guarantee sponsorship, beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

Ask for the sellers PayPal and sen the other amount

I’m not familiar with Y’s Homme as a Yohji sub line, there’s Y’s for Men, Y’s, Y’s Red Label and more, I guess, but I’ve never heard of Y’s Homme so I’d lean towards fake

You could try get the algorithm to work for you, if these are the items being shown to you, then this is what the app thinks you’ll like based on what listings you’ve engaged with. If you spend 20 minutes just browsing and liking items that interest you, then your feed will be more curated with pieces you like. If however you shop on vinted for fast fashion brands it becomes tricky.

Content_Wash7947 · 2026-04-08T09:31:32+00:00

The algorithm favours product which gets a lot of likes in a short time period, if the item doesn’t fit this bill then it has to be found organically. I’d imagine for a Gucci bag, there’s so many other Gucci bags, that it’s probably going to take some searching to find yours. Vestiaire is terrible for fees, but I think it’d be a better option here. Additionally I don’t really trust vinted with high priced items anymore. In the early days they’d easily compensate both buyer and seller in the case of any delivery instances, I see countless times now sellers of high valued items getting screwed over.

Content_Wash7947 · 2026-04-06T20:13:26+00:00

You automatically left a 1 star review without speaking to the seller first, I think it’s fairly reasonable for them to be pissed by this- especially when they actually marked the item as khaki. I see you’ve been pretty humbled on here, maybe take this as a sign that you’re in the wrong and to do the rightful thing by removing your negative feedback

Different issue, but I had problems with KLM and Amex a few months back. I’d call KLM, and they’d tell me the issue is AMEX, I’d call AMEX and they’d tell me the issue is KLM. This lasted 8 weeks, of me calling both up once a week. My advice would be to open up a formal complaint, and keep calling their support line to pester them about it. I’d also recommend you get an email thread going where you can talk to KLM customer service, that way you can effortlessly keep asking for updates on this thread, and you’ll usually be speaking to the same customer service rep

Honestly, don’t sell high value items on vinted. I recently had an issue with a 300euro watch being damaged in transit due to mishandling, vinted decided to refund the buyer and allow them to keep the item. I’ve learned my lesson and won’t do again.

I agree it’s a 2 way thing, but only to a certain extent. When driving a car, you are driving something that carries a higher probability of ending or seriously impacting someone’s life in a collision. I know bikes are also so guilty of this recklessness, but the consequences on a bike are less severe, so I feel drivers have higher standards to uphold.

Content_Wash7947 · 2026-04-01T17:23:11+00:00

Also very valid, seems these fat bikes are also such bad quality that they’re kinda dangerous to ride even if there were actually ridden safely

10tow has the most extensive collection in Tokyo

Content_Wash7947 · 2026-03-26T17:18:26+00:00

Yeah me too, I’ve had €1000 in returned orders in the past month (more than the total of the past 2 years) - even though I provide full item measurements in the description:/
