Nothing against Paolo but he is taking things a little out of Context and not looking at the numbers closely, looking at averages the work day in Japan averages out to be 7.39 work hours per day, not including social work obligations like getting drinks with coworkers being more of an obligation than a choice. When you do the same math with US numbers, taking out weekends and having an average PTO of 11 days, with 8 holidays a year you get 7.26 work hours average per day. While people in the US might work more hours overall, they work more days, have shorter shifts and do not have the same social obligations of going out and drinking with coworkers, which is still somewhat like work. It is not time you can freely dispose of and have to take into account.

The Japanese might have less "on the book" work hours than the US and other countries. But culturally you are pretty much expected to work several hours "off the clock" every day, take work home and work on holidays. We had a several Japanese from our Tokyo office transfer to our Boston office, they couldn't believe it the first day when at 4:00pm everybody started packing up and leaving the office, they didn't understand what was going on, they thought there was an off-site meeting everybody was going to. Their minds were blown when we said, "Nope, we work 8 hours and then clock out. No overtime, no working from home, the second the clock hit's 4:00pm we're done, the office shuts down, the lights go off and we go home."

I moved away from Tokyo to the US in 2019 and realized that the cost of living in Tokyo basically remained the same (due to deflationary and minimal inflation). While the cost of eating out in the US had grown over 50% in 20 years (rough calculation using some general comparisons - fast food meals were about 6-7 dollars back in 2000 are now around 10+ dollars today; $20 dinners are now around $30). A bowl of ramen in Tokyo today remains about 800-1000 yen, similar to that when I moved there in 2001. On a side note, I can't believe how expensive a bowl of ramen is here in Southern California, over $20 including tax and tip.

A 90k house in the midwest the same house in New York at over 300-400k Hawaii it would be almost 650+... That's also why we have the electoral collage and why blanket taxes and minimum wage doesn't work in some place like the US...

But, I also bow because I want to move to Japan someday too, and I need to get a feel for bowing properly.

I was quite overwhelmed the first couple of days there, because I was afraid of doing anything wrong and everything is so much different to what we’re used to in the west. I would recommend learning Japanese though, it’s not common for Japanese people to speak English at all. Especially the older generations. Younger generations may speak English, but they are likely too shy or insecure to just talk to you.

Sometimes in Japan office, you need to do 'social' work with the colleague and the boss. So technically, you're off work hours, but you need to do the 'society rule' by going out to drink session or etc with the boss or client. Not doing these will mark you a 'not able to coop with the rest' title. So when you're done, you just get home, sleep, and continue work next day.

Salary difference between men and women in Japan is simply because of their choice of their work. If you sacrifice more, you can earn more. This sacrificing work culture makes the difference, not gender discrimination.

Hi, I live and work in the Czech Republic as a metal adjuster / worker, I work in three shifts - from Monday to Friday (1 week in the morning, 1 week in the afternoon and 1 week at night), my monthly salary is about 32,000 CZK / 1,450 $ / ¥ 162,654 net wages (exchange rate 11.0.7.2021) 14 public holidays including Christmas, New Year and Easter, 20 days of paid leave + 5 days of paid leave as a bonus from my employer

@@shahrikamin4699 were talking about AVERAGE highschool teacher salary if you were paying attention. Last time I checked it was 43k. the reason its called an average is because its the average across the country, not the main cities, and especially not the highest paid schools. Your number is useless.

After your video about how much it costs to live there I was literally thinking how much money people make in Japan. You answered my question right away. Awesome stuff!

Can you make video on a day in life of an optometrist?

Depends on the industry, employer, years of experience etc. In Alberta a sr engineer with 18 yrs of experience can make on average CAN$160k, 9 stat holidays, 5 weeks vacation, 7 to 12 flexdays, dental, extended health, RRSP or pension contributions, plus performance bonus

If you combined this with the monthy expenses in japan/tokyo i think the conclusions would be more accurate and realistic

I really good friend of mine worked for Nikken Sekkei for a few years after graduating Architecture in America. We met in college and I went to visit him a few years ago while he was still working there. He said it was like the traditional Japanese hierarchical power structure where old dudes pretty much got their way and ideas from younger designers had to essentially get the nod before it was taken seriously. He also heavily invested his time in new modeling and drafting techniques (grasshopper, rhinocerous, etc...) where that firm was largely more traditional and wasn't too keen on adopting more modern techniques. He's moved on since then with something he really loves doing everyday, but if you're *really* interested, I can link his personal website and you can ping him about it. Can't say he may respond to you, but I guess if you're going to school for Architecture and are thinking of moving to Japan to practice, he may have some insight for you. He did internships in Florida and Texas before moving back to Japan afterwards.

The comparison is extremely difficult. As a German engineer for industrial machinery in Japan I made about 230kYen as a beginner. In Germany I would have had about 4000 Euros or 520kYen. However, tax in Germany 50%, in Japan 20%. Then living cost is lower outside Toyko than back home. On the other hand, living standards are lower as well. It is almost impossible to find the right base for comparison.

Does 250K Yen is a good salary for indians?
