Do I have a chance? (Legal)

Currently finishing my bachelor in international law in the Netherlands. I wanted to know if I have any chances to get a good job that doesn’t involve teaching English. My situation is the following:

  • international student in the Netherlands completing an International law degree.

  • not interested in becoming a lawyer so no international bengoshi path.

  • in terms of visa I wouldn’t need a sponsor since my partner is Japanese.

  • Open to pursue an LLM in Japan for good networking.

  • Interest in specializing in a certain field of law that involves either international finance, commerce, business, contracts, etc.

  • the type of job in looking for is either in consultancy or in house legal team.

  • Optimist that will achieve n1 before graduating.

  • Japanese would be my 4th language (English, Spanish and French)

I have the following questions for the people with experience in this field. In the long term:

  • Is it possible for me to get a good job with career progression and decent salary in Japan?

  • Is it realistic to aim to get an either hybrid or fully remote job in my areas of interests (working in Tokyo and reside in Kyoto?)

  • Should I get an LLM in Japan?

  • is working an 8 hours shift realistic?

Thanks in advance
