you dont mention anything about the facility maintenance side, is it harder to get into or are you just not as familiar with it?
@Retro-JapanКүн бұрын
It’s mainly because facility maintenance requires Japanese and usually some kind of mechanical engineering experience depending on the place. Most of those teams are made up of Japanese. Also, I’m not entirely sure I would class facility maintenance as an IT job either

Great video, thank you for sharing! Can you offer more insight on Working Holiday Visas since you mention a "transition". I live in a country that has a working holiday visa program with Japan but the thing is they ask you to return after 1 year without being able to extend your visa or change it, so did you mean by transition as being from a country where you are actually able to change visas after 1 year? Additionally, I'm currently working as a Security Analyst remotely for a North American SOC (I speak Spanish and English on a native level and I'm starting to learn japanese now), so my question is: Do you think it's as easy to land a Cybersec job there?
@Retro-Japan3 күн бұрын
Perhaps it’s different depending on the country. I know a few people that were on working holiday visas and then ended up finding full time employment and got a visa change

I think one of the main reasons why Japan as a whole is behind on the technology and why their websites look like they were created on Geocities, is because most Japanese don't know enough English to program in latest codes, which are primarily English based.

I mean, it's good if you have no career and you want to start. For myself as an IT Professional this salary is a joke. And the bad thing is that I earn as normal employee as much as a senior manager in such a data cente. At least I assume it. I checked several job offers for my profession (Test Automation Engineer) and they offer around 7.000.000 bis 9.000.000 Yen/year and I earn twice as much. I'm not even a senior though. I would only move to Japan as a business owner.

It’s a fair point. When moving to Japan you have to take into consideration how far the money goes. Even my current position pays much more back in my home country, but if I was there I wouldn’t be able to buy a house, see a doctor and everything else is far more expensive.

@Retro-Japan13 күн бұрын
They aim at foreigners because the job requires a high level of fluency in English as you’re communicating with global teams and all the internal software and tooling is English. There’s plenty of opportunity for career growth, you can change teams, departments, move up vertically into management etc. there’s annual pay increases, promotions etc. Once you’re in a company it’s much easier to network within the company.
