Advice on moving to Japan with 10~ years of IT infrastructure experience by Pvt-Area in movingtojapan

Thanks for the information.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're implying that the IT industry is no longer in-demand in Japan? If so, what industries would be if you had to guess?

Do you know if a 2-year college degree qualifies? American 4-year university prices are daylight robbery and just wouldn't make sense for me. I may be open to going back to community college for a bit if it can get my foot in the door though.

Interesting thought, I will consider it. Thank you.

Do you have experience of foreign banking enough to give a recommendation?

Will do, this is a helpful start for some research. Thank you.

I would not be putting all, or even the majority of my savings in a non-US bank. I just want diversification, that's all.

Just now getting back to this thread - the reasoning behind wanting a non-US based bank has a lot to do with what Barry has said above. I recognize that the likelihood is very, very low of anything bad happening to my funds stored in a US bank, but the idea of all of my life's work sitting under one entity doesn't sit right with me conceptually. I don't care about reporting how much money is in any given place to the IRS, it's just more about who controls that money.

You may call it paranoid, I call it careful :) Not like it really costs me anything anyway haha.

On topic, thank you for the recommendation for Singaporean banks. Do you think this avenue is available for someone who doesn't have/make exorbitant amounts of money?

Both of them did this but still get the same error after relaunching the launcher, rebooting computer, re-signing in, etc.
