/biz/ - Business & Finance

27 years old.
Have lived in Japan since I was 20.
Started off on the JET program(International Relations Degree).

Worked on JET for 5 years doing International Relations for 3 of those years. Went to JP with almost no jap skills. Within 2 years passed N2. Year 3 passed n1.

Got picked up by one of the largest corporations here as an "International Strategist".

This year I will make the equivalent of about 70k usd.
If you come here to just fuck Jap bitches, and drink with your gaijin friends, yeah you aren't gonna be shit. If you buckle down, try to blend in, learn the language and get real skills in something + Jap, you will be fine.

You will never be seen as Japanese, but that is just something you gotta live with.
Tokyo is shit btw. Don't come here. Live in Fukuoka or Kumamoto. Tokyo is hell.
