How is moving to Japan as a dispatched software engineer in Tokyo

Hi all,

​

I recently got an offer from a recruitment company as a dispatched SDE with 7+ years of experience and I currently live in California working for a medium size company. The contract is 3 months rolling and the recruiter says the team is aiming to hire permanent positions eventually but dont have a timeline for the conversion. the pay is good (11M if count overtime) and agency company is RW so I guess it is reputable not a scam. however Im wondering if the dispatched engineer is more like finish the project then got dumped or will be able to join the company as permanent engineers in the future? Not sure how it works here, been doing some research but finding mixed information.

also Im wondering if things go south, will I be able to find the other opportunities soon enough? or is it not looking good to have experience as a dispatched employee on the resume? plus I do not speak Japanese so my choice for work would be limited. 🙁

​

Any feedback is welcome Cheers!
