First of all what an amazing post. Just what I needed now. I've been interested in a move to Japan for the past year and I started getting little bit inpatient recently (lowering my standards when applying to jobs) so this served as a really good reminder to be patient and to do my research and find a job that really suits me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the comment, glad you found it useful! There are some truly great opportunities here if you just search for them.
This would have been GOLD when I was looking for jobs in Japan starting in 2013.
I did end up getting 4 offers throughout my time there
I had a great time. There are a lot of foreigners working in software in Japan. And the jobs I was offered were on English speaking teams. It was also really great to meet native Japanese and learn more about them and their culture.
Someone I recently started following on Twitter twitter.com/TuttiQ is also on DEV @tuttiq (and just now I noticed you work at Mercari, so you probably know her!). Small world, lots of opportunities for devs. Thanks for your post, it will help a lot of people!
Great post. I perused japan-dev during my last job search; it's a great resource. I never got to send a thank-you email for all the good it's done for me but luckily I chanced upon you here - thank you!
See you around Tokyo!
Very good writing, thanks!
I’ve tried to find a job to “Nerv”, but they replied me that I’m too junior to program their Evangelions... /s
