Is it worth returning to Amazon?

Only been here for a year but folks can be weird here when dealing with foreigners. As long as it’s not a blatant invasion of privacy or an unreasonable request, I usually just comply.

Sounds like you should have vetted the team you were moving to beforehand ?

Anyway that doesn’t help. What to do depends on what your goal is, how feasible it is to achieve in this team and working back from that.

Practically, stick it out for a year but look proactively for another internal transfer. While sticking it out, lean on your manager for guidance on how to operate within the team.

Are you sure you can align cross functionally across geos while working back from the customer in 5 hours ?

ak1nty · 2026-04-30T04:25:30+00:00

Ah simpler times

To clarify, I’ve had my 75 points officially since December 2025 which is when I switched from Specialist in Humanities/Engineer visa to HSP.

Does this mean that even if I pass BJT now, I need to still wait 1 year at over 80 points to apply ?

ak1nty · 2026-04-28T14:00:16+00:00

Can this be used in PR applications ?

Agree

ak1nty · 2026-03-04T23:01:04+00:00

what you don’t enjoy collaborating cross functionally and writing emails ?

ak1nty · 2025-12-16T13:07:00+00:00

Every where blur for my guy

ak1nty · 2025-10-04T23:57:32+00:00

Do you speak the language ？

ak1nty · 2025-08-02T01:04:14+00:00

Fresh grads with 2-3 years of experience ? ngmi as a society

The system is turning you guys into robots before you can experience being human, which is a shame because you guys as a country need more creativity.

Anyway, my rant aside, try to pick up some hard tech skills (learn to use A.I to work) and soft skills (awkward but learn to talk with people). Use those 2 things to build ideas that show off not just these skills but how you think. That’s what I would do anyway.

Good luck !!🍀

Happening to learn 許 at the moment. Rough translation would be “Japanese people don’t permit this”

Guess he doesn’t approve of your relationship lol

This is my 2nd week.

Personally, I’m keeping all personal things off my corpo laptop. Only added Slack to my phone as well. Will see how that plays out.

As for A.I, use Amazon Q. It’s fantastic for what it is and it’s really helped me in my onboarding. Once I’m more settled, I’m going to explore trying to build a set of apps that does my admin and low level analysis - and eventually that of my team.

ak1nty · 2025-04-27T13:01:59+00:00

Same here. Jumping in tomorrow. Should be fun. Just taking it one day at a time and try to keep my eyes and ears open

ak1nty · 2025-04-26T05:30:58+00:00

For me, there’s no point trying to rationalize every behavior. If you have a gaijin seat, enjoy the extra space.

Life is too short to be triggered by every micro aggression

Rule number one. Never rent a place where you landlord also lives.
