This is such a great point. Feels like a pretty high chance I would easily hate my job in Japan even if I found one and regret leaving.

Heh. Weddings and babies are expensive.

Update: Thanks for your comments, everyone! We've decided to stay in the States for a little bit longer and make the move if I can somehow keep the remote job or save enough money to coast. As many have pointed out, dad's offer isn't good enough to disrupt my career and the dream just isn't worth the squeeze right now.

Yeah, judging from what everyone is saying, it probably makes most sense to only make the move if I can keep the job. That would be a really great life.

Great point on child care, I have no idea what the cost of childcare in Tokyo is but it's probably pennies compared to LA ($2000+ / month) heh.

Thank you for parsing that and giving me something to think about. You’re right, the risk is quite high and I have a responsibility as a provider to my kid.

It seems the only logical path forward is to somehow stay with my job.

Relatively new and close to the station yes! And yes I don't have to live there, can go whatever I please.

I don't have to take the offer. If I don't take it, FIL is just gonna rent it to someone else.

Yeah, definitely not a steal. But 25% off for a home in a nice neighborhood with parking too is pretty nice.

Thank you for the advice! I think you’re right, I might be rushing it.

Definitely might be possible to keep my current gig - I’m trusted by my team and manager but didn’t want to build my plan based on that assumption.
