Greetings
I’m almost on the deadline to pay my studies of japanese with the help of StudyInNinja. I work on the IT area, got 2 years bachelor degree, some certificates in cloud computing and 10 years of experience as a backend deveoloper so the agency advised to get at least the N3 to get hired in Japan, but also Im gonna take this as a sabbatical since many stuff happend in my city (massive wildfires, layoffs in my workplace, a big rise on robbery) so I’m more exited to do parttime jobs away from IT but I can do an IT job related if needed (or with a good pay).
At the beginning wanted to pay for 12 months starting by october of this year but later realized that 18 months starting also on october and ending on april of 2026 could be the ideal since I’ll have more time in case of failing a test (I did the JLPT N5 by december of 2021 but I didn’t pass). My only problem is the money because if I pay for 12 months I can go to Fukuoka which never visited, but for 18 months the only option is Kyoto according to the agency and I’ve already visited there previously but I’ll try to visit the places I couldn’t before.
So, my questions are:
* You recommend 12 or 18 months of study? Considering the idea of moving definitely to Japan in the near future my goal is to get the N3
* Despite Fukuoka and especially Kyoto not being technological hubs, how I can make some networking?
* Are arubaito or partime jobs in the IT area? Despite my first option is to take another job just to “live the japanese experience”, my emergency plan is to take an IT job if needed
* I’ve read this on another post that’s possible to covalidate my driving licence and buy a motorcycle with the student visa. You recommends this? How much is the cost to maintain one?
Also, if I can acomplish this I’ll be very happy to make some friends or networking just to keep the contact. My interest are videogames, arcades (especially DDR), motorcycles, car racing, trains, bike riding, music, hardware/electronics, wrestling, travel and swimming
Thanks, I hope to see you soon 😀
