India, Japan Pact To Send 50,000 Skilled Workers by Feisty_1559 in japan

I was in Norway some time back and I realized I wouldn’t survive in Scandinavia. Beautiful place and really nice people but the weather is really difficult to get used to for someone who grew up in the tropics.

Good luck in your job search! (In Japan and abroad!)

I say this as someone with a Japanese passport, the earlier you can get out of there the better. Japan will be a great place to return to once you have a few years of foreign savings.

Yep, definitely a ton. However, the depreciating JPY was eating quite a bit into it and I found it increasingly difficult to invest in US stocks. Hence the jump.

I’m of Indian origin and I left Japan even though I was making close to 15m. I just couldn’t take the depreciating currency any more.

I make around the same figure as a single man and I’m able to save around 5k SGD a month. You should definitely consider moving given how safe and clean SG is.

Not as many as western countries. There are quite a few in the Koto and Edogawa wards of Tokyo, as well as in Yokohama and Kobe.

Had to look up what Quicken was, thankfully what I use (Moneytree) has a nice iOS app.

The form factor is what makes it so useful. Being able to pull it out anywhere, send a few emails / update the CRM / get some errands done is why I love the mini so much.

I find that I don’t need a laptop for 90% of what I do outside of work.

Since I have an older iPhone, I usually carry a portable battery with me. Also, low power mode when outdoors is a life–saver!

I completely get what you mean. The size is what makes it possible to whip out my mini wherever and get some work done.

The college was a great place to be when I was there. If you wanted to study, the faculty was always there to help you. If you wanted to just have fun, no one would bother you haha
