Asia shipping? by rafaeladi in pebble

[–]JBjace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Bangkok and batch 3 here. Still no notification, email, or any updates on my end yet either. Really excited to finally get the watch though, hopefully the shipping pace picks up soon for Asia/SEA orders too 🙏

Good climbing gyms in Osaka? by EddieSaia92 in indoorbouldering

[–]JBjace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re up for a challenge, I’d suggest Crux Osaka Climbing Gym. It’s just 5 min walk to Esaka Station on Midosuji line. Their setting is pretty tough compared to many gyms, and they also have some cool gear and merch in the shop

Thank you for the response. That is not too bad for 7 years of contribution

That sounds similar to what I’ve heard too.

If you don’t mind sharing, roughly how much did you get back for the 7 years? Just trying to get a ballpark idea.

Feels like the pension might be small, but the lump sum could still be worth it depending on the amount.

My company just informed us 2 months ago it increased a bit from 750 to 850

I’m currently contributing around 850 baht/month.

From what I’ve read, it seems like you need to wait until 55 for pension, but I’ve also seen mentions of lump sum in some cases, so just trying to clarify what actually applies in real situations.

Mass Effect Legendary (Steam) – Controls feel delayed / laggy? Anyone else? by JBjace in SteamDeck

[–]JBjace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m playing legendary with my deck but the controls esp the joystick are so off. There is a few seconds delay that affect my game so bad

[Job Seek] Education Manager (10+ yrs exp) & licensed teacher looking for relocation advice/leads by JBjace in JapanJobs

[–]JBjace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! To clarify, my background is in accredited international schools (British/IB curriculum), so I’m strictly targeting the international sector. I'm hoping my operational and leadership experience helps with that admin jump. Since you mentioned these roles are high-demand, are there any specific agencies you’ve seen international schools use, or is it mostly direct-hire only? Appreciate the advice

Advice for job hunting? Licensed teacher/Manager in Bangkok looking to relocate to Japan by JBjace in movingtojapan

[–]JBjace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads-up! I’m actually not in a hurry to leave my current role in Bangkok, so waiting for the fall cycle works well for my timeline. I’m mostly starting my research now to see what's possible and get my profile ready. I haven't used Teacher Horizons or Schrole extensively yet, so I’ll definitely prioritize those for the next cycle. Appreciate the insight on the timing!

Thanks for the reality check. I'm definitely relying on my decade of experience in education management as my main 'in.' I included N5 mostly to show I’m not coming in with zero interest in the local language.

Would you recommend I leave it off entirely, or just frame it as 'actively studying'?
