I’m trying to prepare for a possible future move to Japan with my japanese spouse, and I’m struggling a bit right now because I feel like I have to make some choices regarding my career.
I have a degree in software engineering and I’ve been working at a big international consultant firm the last 2 years as a Salesforce developer. Salesforce wasn’t my choice, but there were no available other projects at the time unfortunately.
So my question is if there is any market for Salesforce developers in Japan, or should I try to pivot to something else? I feel like it’s difficult to know what I want to work with because I just don’t have any other experience. My worry is that Salesforce is a rather siloed stack that doesn’t translate all that well to other technologies, and considering the way I work as a consultant now it would require a much higher level of japanese than I have.
I don’t know exactly when the move might be, anything from 2-5 years, so of course a lot could change in tech in that time..
