And I’m mainly referring to the work environment and pay grade. I’m studying for my bachelor’s in Translation now (in The Netherlands) and I’m hoping to get my master’s in a few years. For a very long time I’ve been considering moving to Japan once I finish my education here, but I’m a little worried about how I will get treated at the company I would work for. I’ve read that women in general get paid less than men in Japan and, while that stings, I can accept it. But I also heard that many Japanese look down on foreigners who emigrate to their country, so I’m wondering if I would get paid even *less* because of that. Should I be worried about potential harassment and basically bullying on the work floor because I’m a Dutch woman? Is it plausible that I might get paid €2,000 while a male Japanese co-worker with equal education and experience gets €3,000? So basically: Would I notice a significant difference in treatment?
Any experiences you want to share about this topic would be a great help!
Edit: I have absolutely no idea why this post and my comments are being downvoted. Is my genuine question somehow controversial? 😂
