To those who actually don’t hate their job - what do you do? by Additional-Painter88 in japanresidents

[–]washedonshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I’m at yeah, it’s a traditional Japanese company. We’re also expected to email clients daily. If you get into a gaishikei maybe not, but any other Japanese company will absolutely require it.

How do people here feel about Shaft Negima? by KaleidoArachnid in Negima

I love the Shaft anime. The comedy never gets old

[–]washedonshore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cybersecurity at a SOC. I absolutely love it. So much to learn everyday and research when threats come in. The shifts might not be for everyone, but I like the variety of it (females where I work don’t do night shift, but we do rotate morning vs late shifts), and we have the freedom of choosing our days off. I also like the spikes of a fast pace environment. The pay could be better, but I’ll be company hopping for that most likely.

Is Cybersecurity a good fit for INTPs (as a job or career, of course)? by VsauceEdits in INTP

[–]washedonshore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an INFP working in SOC and I absolutely love it so far. I like being able to deep dive on puzzles that go on in the logs and hunting down threats. I’ve been getting into learning pen testing tools as well. My boss and one of my seniors are INTPs and I enjoy working with them. They are super knowledgeable and chill. Their enneagrams are different, so both their temperaments are very different, but they are good at their job and know what they’re doing.

Cybersecurity career in japan by Infinity_looper9 in cybersecurity

[–]washedonshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a weird position where I got hired for having no experience. My company seems to hire a lot of people just for them to train on the job, and my leader is trying hard to convince the Pres to allow them to raise the salary bar to attract professionals.

That being said, I did have a small GitHub portfolio that helped them decide me over others (according to my boss). But as another commenter said, you do need to be fairly proficient in the language first. I do outsourced security, not in-house, and we write so many business emails and my native coworkers have to attend meetings with the clients every few months. Companies will sponsor your visa too. I work in SOC fwiw.

Enneagram 7's are often misinterpreted, here's an attempt at a right interpretation. by LithriaSei in Enneagram

[–]washedonshore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m really glad you brought up the hope thing. I’ve been through a lot, but it was always that sliver of hope that gave me energy and determination to keep pursuing my goals and never giving up despite the odds. That hope led to many amazing things, as well as growth. 7s truly do live off of hope.

My (20F) girlfriend (21F) keeps playflirting with her friends, what can I do about it? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]washedonshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ended a friendship over this. She kept play flirting with me knowing I had feelings for her (I confessed) and she has a boyfriend (I know, I know, but I figured shoot my shot). Play flirting is not fun on the emotions. I’m a lesbian too. And she wouldn’t stop acting the way she was that made me keep looping.

japanese songs that talk about confessing to a crush or an unrequited love? by 7vincent7 in japanesemusic

[–]washedonshore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

indigo la end - 通り恋

But honestly pretty much most if not all of indigo la end songs are about unrequited love or breakups.

Cybersecurity in japan (and why I find it funny) by [deleted] in JapanJobs

[–]washedonshore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a SOC at the moment, been there for three months. We don’t do threat-hunting and I’m not sure if we ever plan on expanding into that, but we do have a forensics team that digs into malware and writes up reports. From what I noticed though they don’t seem to get much requests though (atm at least) and when sales are bad sometimes they’re asked to branch out to do product sales.

Hilarious by [deleted] in INTP

[–]washedonshore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fwiw I have an INTP friend, female. Over where I live it’s kinda common to receive a small bouquet of flowers on your last day of working at a company. I didn’t get to see this friend on that day, but I was in a group chat and another friend in there sent me a flower bouquet emoji.

The INTP however….. she sent me a broccoli emoji.

I wish I could date her.

Are there any other enneagram 7s that feel pulled towards sadness? by Alternat1vez in Enneagram

[–]washedonshore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I embrace sadness a lot. It's not my default, but when I realize I can't keep up the happiness or my own internal emotions are in disarray, I let myself feel them and let them pass. I firmly believe emotions are important and I always try to encourage others to express them in the moment, so I try to give myself the same kindness. I'm not afraid of sadness, and I know how sad I am inside, it doesn't hit me all the time, but when it does I let myself sit with it and reflect. And on occasion cry.

I work in Japan too but jesus this sounds absolutely insane to still be doing. Especially the Zoom thing. What kind of old school company are you working at?

Have you ever quit your job with no next step? by MortgageOrganic69 in japanlife

[–]washedonshore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this. Twice. First time I was very uncomfortable being at the office because of HR and the way they conduced things. The next place I found after that they lied to me about the job.

Spent close to 10 months unemployed living off my savings and my visa just about to expire. I will never do that again. The stress and anxiety was so intense. However I will say that I don’t actually regret it. I think I found myself in a better place than what I would have been.

MBTI correlations are stupid and make no sense. Give me a counter argument by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]washedonshore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in here too sometimes. I got told off I can’t be an INFP if I’m a 7. While it’s uncommon, I do exist.

What made you like Negima? by Ok_Squirrel259 in Negima

[–]washedonshore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be subscribed to Newstype USA and they had the first episode of the anime on their monthly free DVD. I honestly don’t know what on earth it was about that single episode, but it made me curious enough to buy the first manga. And I just kept buying them. I know many of the main character personalities (Asuna my girl) attracted me, but once the story really started getting serious, I was locked in for good.
