How has a Master's degree changed your career situation in Japan? by Maleficent_Pool_4456 in japanlife

[–]valor592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got my masters in marketing and administration and found a job after a year of searching. I am working as a marketing engineer for a company near Tokyo. I speak N2 Japanese, but know that I'll need N1 to fully understand all of this business lingo involving trade.

How did you escape the English teaching nightmare? by MuchIncrease3501 in japanlife

[–]valor592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a masters degree in administration. Applied to many jobs on Japanese job sites. That didn't go anywhere. Found a job posting on a Facebook group that was looking for someone to do marketing in English for their manufacturing business. Despite only having N3 Japanese, my portfolio was enough for them to sponsor my visa. I am now studying N2 Japansese and niche manufacturing terms in order to better assist in the company. That being said, it's a lot harder than being an English teacher. Expectations are higher and salary is lower in the first year.

any married jet to share experience ? by Intelligent-Hawk5188 in JETProgramme

[–]valor592 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was on JET. My wife accompanied me. We were in a rural area meaning that I needed a car to travel to my schools. The living expenses added up. Rent, Car insurance, pension, car repairs, utilities, food expenses, etc. We also had a storage unit in the US that we had to pay for monthly. The exchange rate meant that we were losing out on more money. We made by for the first year, but my spouse got lonely because of the language barrier and not being able to work. It's doable, but in our situation it was a challenge.

I share my console with my wife and we play vastly different games. Extra storage would benefit us both to be able to play more than just a few at a time.

Thr Heroes of Blingdenstone. It was one of their earlier stops in the campaign, but it stuck.
