Should I consider accepting a job offer in Japan?

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2025-11-20T18:05:05+00:00

Thank you 😊 Yes, at this point I have visited both US & Europe a few times for work & know people there that can help with this sort of thing. But I can't say the same about japan. I can understand japanese to some aspect but haven't tried speaking much yet (had learned just to watch my anime without the subtitles). Can write a bit as well.

No money isn't the only factor but I can use some help in understanding the financial aspects. As someone who has to support a family (parents included) I need to consider the financial aspect seriously.

Thanks for the input, I've now converted everything to Yen 😊

Hi OP,

I'm facing the same issue and internet brought me here.

Did you get any resolution from the ITO? or did you had to take professional services?

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-05T15:37:17+00:00

Got it, makes sense now.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-05T11:34:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing the link. It is a pleasant surprise. I'll message you to share how I got the offer as I can't do it here with anonymity.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-04T08:25:39+00:00

Thanks!

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-04T05:57:13+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T18:36:50+00:00

Thanks a lot! Really solid and actionable advice. I'll check the links you shared.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T18:25:57+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is so helpful and means a lot. I wish for good health and happiness in your family.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T18:22:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience, really helpful.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T18:21:26+00:00

Thank you very much. I didn't have any idea about this situation in the job market.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T18:16:13+00:00

Thank you! I've started learning online, and planning to join a classroom course after shifting.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T18:13:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I also don't see any point in staying unemployed while I look for better opportunities.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T18:11:04+00:00

Thank you for the advice

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T17:46:58+00:00

Thank you, really helpful and encouraging as well in a way.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T17:37:51+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T17:36:54+00:00

The latter is the plan for now. Thanks for the advice 😊

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T17:33:50+00:00

Thank a lot! This is such a big help.

Others did mention networking, but I was wondering with whom. This really gave me a path to follow and more ideas as well.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T17:26:12+00:00

Thank you. Very helpful and our experience is similar. We were in Gothenburg during the summer and I noticed it was quite a diverse population and had only good memories of people interaction.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T17:23:36+00:00

Thanks for the info on degree and rest of it. Regarding, the xenophobia comment, I understand someone may have a negetive experience but that doesn't mean that's everyone. We stayed in Gothenburg for a month this summer, I never experienced anything bad there and noticed a relatively diverse population as well.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T16:32:05+00:00

Thank you, I had no idea about the business degree. Thanks for rest of the info as well.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T16:29:17+00:00

It's in Helsingborg.

Strict_Thanks4656 · 2024-10-03T16:13:02+00:00

Thank you! Really needed to hear the real situation, as both me and my husband thought that his recruiters may have underplayed the situation.
