For context, a new opportunity arose where I could be eligible to relocate to Japan. I'm an Australian and if this role works out I'd be looking at around the $200K AUD per year.
Working abroad has been high on my wish list but when I looked at Japan's tax bracket – honestly was a huge turn off.
We already experience (subjective) pretty high income tax here and Japan seems like it's worse. Maybe I need to reset my expectations but "low" for me would be in countries like Singapore or Thailand.
Anyway for those who made the jump, are you enjoying the standard of living you have despite the tax?
