Hi, im a foreigner from Indonesia with an undergraduate degree in computer science (game development focus). I have internship experience in a startup game company here and i have family in japan. My grandma and grandpa are japanese and lives in tokyo, also my uncle, aunt, and a couple of my cousins are japanese aswell. Earlier this year i went to visit them and I told them how struggling i was working in Indonesia where the average salary here is about 4000 USD/YEAR.
So they told me i should just come work in Japan, and that i can live with them. They introduced me to their friend who has relations to a language school. Their friend told me i should prepare around 600k yen for a semester in the language school, then after i get my japanese language certificate i can start applying for jobs.
From what i gather for me to work in japan:
1. Attend and finish language school to attain the japanese language certificate for foreigners
2. Start applying for jobs
My question is how do you think i will fare as a foreigner looking for a game programmer/developer job in tokyo? And what are the steps to take to do so as a foreigner? Please help me reddit, im actually serious about this and i just need some guidance 🙏🏻 thank you internet people
