I understand what the Pakistani girl said. I'm Japanese, and my job-hunting experience was a disaster. I just couldn't understand why I had to give up my studies and focus on job hunting while I was still a student. Especially during my master's degree, I didn't want to focus on job hunting, so I ignored it and finished my thesis first. Afterward, I started job hunting and found a job, but it wasn't with a good company. After a miserable year, I quit the job and left the country. Now I live in Germany and enjoy my life.

cannot agree more. I think for foreigners, it’s very difficult to work in local company. Maybe some international organisations with more “westernised’ working culture would be better but imagine how many job vacancies there would be every year…

I’ve been working here for 8 years across two different companies. It heavily depends on the company just like any country, but in general the work culture here is insane. My colleagues are SO nice and my company is supportive, but the whole approach to business is mind boggling. They focus on the process because they love the meetings and formalities as if they’re kids playing a game pretending to be grown ups. The result doesn’t matter. Even after work ends they stay just going for smoke breaks and opening/closing random emails. It’s another world. The Indonesian guy is very switched on by the way - he’ll do well!

I was thinking the same thing, I am a self-taught full stack developer and was interested in the development/tech work culture in Tokyo before I move in a year or two.

Based on my working experience over a decade in Tokyo, the job market is vibrant and diverse. Speaking both Japanese(N1) and English (business) can significantly boost your job prospects. Bilingual professionals are in high demand, often leading to better job opportunities and higher salaries. However, it's a different story outside Tokyo. While there are job opportunities, they generally don't offer the same level of compensation as those in the capital. The demand for bilingual skills isn't as high, and the pay scales reflect that.

My experience was not so terrible like theirs but here's my tips: 1. I think the graduate recruitment and the mid career recruitment are very different. In the 2nd one there are less interviews, and usually no SPI or language tests, 2. Every company (japanese or international) has its rules, and some do not require JLPT. But since your interview and CV must be made in Japanese in many companies, you will need at least N2, 3. Unwritten rules: if you come from a well known university and your supervisor has many relationships with a company, you will have a great advantage. Also companies make 1-day internships and if you attend them they will note it and remember your interest.

It was a proofreading/translation company which he hated, only worked there a year and half, he was fortunate to have left a good impression on the BOE in Fukuyama that when they decided they wanted to create a position for him and another of his coworkers, he accepted. He works as an ALT directly for City Hall, he also does administrative tasks and assists all the JET program teachers that come to Fukuyama. He has been working there ever since.

I can identify with the girl from Pakistan. I also studied my PhD at Tokyo Tech 東京工業大学 (although I think they renamed it recently?), and as a new grad (新卒) I started looking for jobs 14 months before my graduation (so around February of the previous year). For some places I was already late! For instance, SCE (Sony) used to close their applications very early 😅 I had to study for the SPI exams, which are like high school things, but all in Japanese (so I had to learn how to say “pendulum “ and stuff like that to resolve physics problems…) Finally I found a job I liked in a videogames company, although the pay wasn’t great 😅

Greetings from Philadelphia. Takashii, you are so handsome. And, I love all your videos, too. I visited Japan for a couple of weeks in November 2023, and fell in love with your country. I will definitely visit again. I think the Japanese culture is simply the best...so respectful, polite, clean, and punctual. I really like that the people are so quiet on trains and in public places. I really hope Japan stays exactly the way it is, and the foreigners don't ruin it. I wish people in all countries were as peace-loving and well-behaved as the Japanese.

The salary is low and the corporate life is too intense. That's why I don't recommend working at a Japanese company. However, I think people who are very introverted would be a good fit for Japan.

Very good advice, especially 12:50 guy! Its better now for foreigners compared to decades past, where a foreign employee would never fit into the career path mandated by large Japanese companies. Now the problem is with the yen so low, the salaries are possibly very low compared to what you can make in your home country, especially for the long hours and lack of leave and benefits. If you can get a good job in a foreign company that helps. An even better option is to work remotely for a foreign company from Japan. Although your work hours may be off, you'll get the foreign pay and the Japanese (super low) cost of living.

There are also plenty of low-skilled foreign workers in Japan, but they are generally either there on a work visa or they are there illegally, or working "under the table" for black companies. The government doesn't want to acknowledge that they exist, and the workers also do not want to be known, so it's kind of a black hole in Japan. The reason I know this is that I lived with a Japanese family for a year, who have a family business related to processing and managing visa applications for foreigners and japanese people (in Japan, of course). I often heard stories of criminials from certain countries coming to Japan to work or obtain PR (permanent residence), often through false marriages or other less-than-scrupulous means. Many get rejected, jailed, or sent back to their home country, but there are still many more who get jobs from companies run by other foreign nationals. Japan has a whole layer of this going on that you would otherwise never know or hear about unless you talk to the people related to the process of job-hunting or visa applications in Japan. I think Takashi presents a very narrow perspective of what kind kind of things are happening in Japan, not just in Tokyo.

@@ToothpasteJuice There is quite high amount of foreigners working in different companies trough Japan. From cleaning personnel in hotels trough construction workers, IT, shop clerks to managers. I think its more at what time and where are those interviews done

I know it will be hard n very hard to work in Japan but i still want to find a work there🙂

hmm interesting

The bar for hiring in tech isn't nearly as fierce as in the US, but you definitely need to consider having a good amount of Japanese. I feel quite better off compared to all the other foreigners not in tech, there are jobs where I don't need to now any Japanese. There is that balance of technical skill and Japanese fluency though, one usually has to make up for the other and if you have both there is a scarcity for that.

Japan is suitable for people who have dedication because the working conditions is very serious 😔 you have to put all your heart for the work so called "Karoshi ".

whats the aussie @??

Just as hard it is to get a rental property it is hard to get a job because many companies are not even open for foreign employees, many times recruiters told me oh that company does not accept foreigners or this is the list of foreigners' allowed companies

I think it will be good idea that you put Japanese subtitles. then Japanese owners can find what we need when hiring foreign employees.

I want to know about foreigner who works in tech in Japan. I’m a Quality Assurance in IT field. I’m interested in getting a job there.

Its similar to the US. And they both have the same economic system. Private ownership of the means of products. Similar outcomes.

many parts of china still uses the 996 working hour system 9:00am to 9:00 pm 6 days a week. but it's getting better with companies banning it in china

As I've learned from so many Mangas, the job interview are very hard, and the job hunting is crazy stressful. 😂 So, these people have just confirmed that Manga is true. 😂

Almost nothing, applying to an international think tank (your country may have think tanks) with offices in Japan. In my country we we have something called the Council of Foreign Relations, which runs a program called the IAF (International Affairs Fellowship) the pay is okay only 120,000 USD for a 12 month program but that will go a long way in Japan. The program recruitment process is extremely competitive and it’s only meant for mid-career professionals with demonstrated experience in a field related to international relations. The other thing you can do is apply to an investment bank or consulting company in your country and hope in a couple of years to be sent to Japan. Overall your options are limited.

All these things you need to do to get a Japan is quiet the same like in Germany for IT Professionals. 3 Interviews and waiting time up to 4 months is a common thing for a well paid job. But I can‘t see myself working in Japan for a Japanese company due to the low salary compared to western countries. That’s so sad 😅

Japan is a fun place to visit but not for work… the average salary is not that good and the weak yen doesn’t help

The weak yen these past few years has been a huge problem. Young Japanese people can go on working holiday to other countries and earn more than if they stayed in Japan on a normal corporate job.
