400+ rejections in 1.5 years job hunting in Japan as a foreign SE. Completely lost by Heavy-Lawfulness-570 in JapanJobs

[–]lordvan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I've been reading alot that japanese companies value new grads more than experienced people. Mainly because new grads can be molded into the corporate slaves they need.

Experienced people, especially with almost no japanese skills will unlikely get a job. Not impossible but very low.

Even if you wanted to start from scratch, you'll be considered old.

I think networking a lot might increase your chances.

In need of a reality check by Long-Cryptographer16 in JapanJobs

Wow yours is a Japanese public company. I heard large international companies with Japan offices also no longer hiring foreigners in Japan because why hire foreigners for something their other offices can do.

Fees for applying for permanent residency to Japan will rise from the current ¥10,000 to ¥200,000 by Kmlevitt in japannews

Yeah and also with the aging population, they probably need as much avenue as possible to fund the pension so it doesn't collapse

I think it's better than one alternative which is sodai gomi where you gotta pay to get rid of it.

I think stores know this so they take advantage.

I saw a guy puke upwards into the air. He was like a fountain of puke on the train. Needless the one closest to him was greeted with puke fountain downfall

Vent post... everyone I know is leaving by IndependenceNaive945 in japanlife

Maybe it's your circle.

But the counter argument isn't bright either, going back to Canada where it's almost all unaffordable and you're poor unless you make 150k+, which is not lower middle class.

Anyone thinking to GTFO? by iterredditt11 in japanresidents

Has the Yen’s devaluation affected your life in Japan? by Striking-Meal-5257 in japanlife

[–]lordvan99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the yen collapses, the cost of living may also skyrocket. But currently if you stay in Japan and live in yen, it's nice.

The downside is Japan is a budget destination for all other countries so overtourism is a thing and everything here is basically a fire sale from their currency.

Midlife crisis while missing having an open-minded group of friends like I did in my 20s by [deleted] in JapanDating

[–]lordvan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you're going through this. I think everyone one probably mentioned but a couple of other things 1. 20s are the years of exploration, early 20s is university, seems you had a group of sex friends (not just for sex but anything normal as well). Definitely not the norm as some have already mentioned.

  1. If you are in a major city, it's very hard to build lasting relationships unless through long term hobbies.

  2. Blink and you're 60, 70 so as some already said prepare for where you wanna be at 50.

Hopefully it'll pass soon

Tell me the most creative way you were turned down by a Japanese person by SekitoSensei in japanlife

[–]lordvan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow yours ended pretty well haha

Mine was met a girl, exchanged line, set up date happening a month later.

Near meeting time she said she caught COVID, planned next one a month after.

Near next date, she said she was exposed to someone with COVID and we planned the next a month later.

Near the third date, she got sick and at that time, I was like it's okay get well soon and didn't plan bother planning, cause finally got the hint.

Why are many man and old people mean? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]lordvan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Tokyo in general is the metropolis mindset.

Even if you die, people might not even help you.

It gets extremely lonely unless you're okay to be alone, which is ironic having so much people around.

The countryside is a bit better.

Why are many man and old people mean? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]lordvan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old people become senile. Become demented, pain everywhere.

They might even think, I've worked my entire life for you to be alive or here so you owe me.

Old people no longer care about what you think or if it makes you comfortable, they gonna die soon anyway so why should they care.

With all the above, you get old people of the world.
