I worked in Tokyo from 2020-2023 and had an awful time. I wound up as the deputy director making 400K a month but I had to eat a ton of shit and found 400K pretty low of a salary (deductions, taxes, cost of living, currency devaluation).
I’m not in China making double that but I just miss Japan. I’ll be a department head with director roles at a British school in China after December where I’ll stay for 2 years.
I want to move back to Japan in 2026 with an MA of Ed, Health and Wellness, 4+ years certifiable director/dept. head experience, all the other bells and whistles.
Is shooting for 800K+ a month ANYWHERE in the country just not gonna happen?
