Hello everyone,
I am an Indian software developer from a reputable college with 1 year of professional experience and 1 year of internships. I have always wanted to explore different parts of the world, and as a part of this quest, I am considering living and working in Japan for some time. I've heard good things about the country from a few people (non Japanese) I know indirectly who are currently working there (also software guys).
I am aware that Japan is a hub for AI, robotics, and the entertainment sector (video games, anime, music, etc.). However, I have a couple of key questions that I'd love some insights on:
- Should I consider living in Japan for a significant amount of time?
- What are the pros and cons of living and working in Japan as a foreign software developer?
- How welcoming is the culture to international professionals, especially from India?
- What are some extraordinary niche companies working on innovative projects in Japan?
- I am particularly interested in companies providing a healthy work culture and a largely multinational workforce.
- I’d like to explore opportunities beyond the usual multinational corporations. Are there any standout companies in the AI/robotics or other cutting-edge tech sectors that you would recommend?
Thank you in advance for your advice and recommendations! Looking forward to hearing back.
