Considering options in Japan as a software engineer, is my salary expectation realistic? What about permanent residency?

Hey all, I just visited Japan again and after arriving back in LA I’m seriously considering looking at options there.

I know that I would have to take a pay cut and I’ve thought a lot about the minimum I’d be wiling to go, and the lowest would be 200k/year, which is roughly 30 million yen/year.

How realistic is that though? Would I have to take an even larger pay cut?

I’ve been told multiple times that I don’t even need Japanese, even though I’m very interested in learning.

Would I need to work for an American company (eg: google) or Japanese company is fine?

Is it easy to get permanent residence given I’d have a high paying/in demand job?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

idk why some people seem upset, if I knew the answer to this question I wouldn’t be asking it in the first place.
