Hi all!
I’ve been job searching in the States recently, but the current job market is awful, and haven’t gotten a single interview. I’ve been looking for jobs in Japan (mostly American companies) as I have Japanese citizenship and am able to work there as well. Recently I’ve gotten offers from companies in Japan and I’ve realized I’m scared. I’m not sure what the exact salaries are yet, but I’ll be out of school for almost a year still looking for a job and I really want to settle myself somewhere.
Growing up with the culture, I know how awful working in Japan is compared to the States (power harassment, super hard to quit, salaries compared to the States…) and I’m not ready to leave my family and the place I grew up in (I’d be moving alone), but I know my quality of life can be so much better *if* I move there. I’m kind of going back and forth between the pros and cons and I wanted to ask about your experiences working in Japan. Thanks!
