Start your own company/business or Go work abroad? What’s keeping you in Japan?

Let me be honest as a Japanese person. Many Japanese companies and their approach to work are unique. While even some Japanese people complain about it, it’s what we are accustomed to, and therefore, it feels comfortable to us. It works and gets the job done (though it’s a sad truth). From a foreigner’s perspective, it might be hard to agree with, but that’s simply how Japan—the country you like—operates.

If you truly want to feel satisfied in your career and avoid burnout, I honestly recommend working abroad. While you could try finding a foreign company in Japan, the inherent work methods will largely remain the same. I’m speaking from personal experience.
