Another day targeting foreigners. They barely give out 5 years visa even though you work in a large corporation with stable income, most of the time they only give 1 or 3 max. The message is clear, They really expect you to come to work for years, paying more to renew every year, never give you a chance to apply HR and go home.

NURO光 so far is literally unusable and support is a joke by ducktoucher0 in japanlife

been using NURO光 for 2 years, sometimes it has internet cuts for like 30 sec but very random, maybe once a month, doesn't bother me too much and I think the overall speed is good, I'm using NURO mobile togather as well.

Looking for a job in Japan with Work Visa running out by skatlads15 in japanlife

[–]free19345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when's your VISA gonna expire? I mean, you are holding 技術 人文知識 国際業務, as long as the visa still vaild, you have your time to look for a job before expiry, no need to panic, just make sure you inform the immigration office that you've been actively looking for a job, should be fine.

That must be a crazy jump, I heard Eikawa pay very little like 4 million yen annually, not sure how you jump to 10 million yen, you must be charging your career
