Hello everyone!
I really hope you are doing well in your life :).
I want to share with you my current situation and the path I want to follow to be where I want to be in the future. I would love to have valuable information from experienced people on this subject.
\- I am 26 and I currently live in France.
\- I am a young graduate (4 months ago) with a master’s degree in Big Data, Statistics, and Econometrics.
\- I have a successful data analysis internship in an important aeronautical company.
\- I speak French and English fluently. I also started to learn Japanese (It is not very relevant, but I know how to write and recognize Hiragana, Katakana, Dakuten/Han-Dakuten/Combinations, and I am learning kanji).
I recently made the decision to pursue my dream of moving to and living in Japan. I deeply want it and think that with the right information and guidance, I can make it a reality.
However, I have narrowed down my options to two choices:
1- I could give up and get a job where I currently live in France, save money and continue learning Japanese until I reach a decent proficiency level, pass the JLPT N1 or N2 exam, apply to multiple jobs in Japan and move there once I am accepted. This process would likely take around 2.5 years.
2- I could apply to a V.I.E (which would truly be awesome), but currently, there aren’t many opportunities for Japan, and when there are, there are hundreds and hundreds of applicants.
I am writing this post to find out if there are any alternative solutions (anything) to move and live there given my current situation.
What would be the fastest and most realistic path to achieve this?
I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for any information you can provide :)!
Much love and take care <3.
