Hello. Long time lurker. (Like many here) It has been my dream to move to Japan. I have a lot of pieces that I would really appreciate some help with arranging into a path forward.
I am a software developer with a year of experience, mainly in front-end. I have a degree, but it is not in Computer Science. I am learning the language but I am still a novice. I am continuing with these two pursuits with full force.
I have dual citizenship for the USA and UK (I don’t know if one will be more beneficial than the other). I can also get a NZ one from my family. I am past the point of getting a working holiday since I am 30 unfortunately. I have lived in several countries including Korea, and am comfortable with living abroad.
My goal is to be there in about 2-3 years time. I am curious to hear what my chances might be, what the best way forward is, and any other tidbits from those of whom my background resonates with. My biggest concern is difficulty finding work that will sponsor a visa. I am aware there are language schools that will get you in the country, and then you an look from there since it makes things easier.
Thank you for your time reading my post, and thanks in advance for any advice.
