I know this is a sensitive topic for some so I'm sorry for asking but I want to ask for pieces of advice regarding salary in tokyo,
In tokyo according to tokyodev, it should be around 4.5 million yen a year for software developer with 1+ years of experience, around 375,000 yen monthly, and with the calculation using chatgpt, i would probably get 92,000 – 128,000 yen after taxes and monthly expenses.
I'd like to gather practical information, regarding your experience or what you think would be a good salary,
the reason for this is that i want to know if its worth it to be alone in a country just for work, and knowing how much i should ask my current company without asking for too much/little is quite ideal.
background: my current company [japanese] wants me to work in office, its also a given that the pay they would give me will be more than i am making right now, but with currency exchange problem, i take home around 90,805.36 yen in my country (after expense for saving), i go there, it might sound big but the take home pay would be much chisai.
to be honest, the only pros for me to work there is for leveling up my career and cultural experience, with the cons of loneliness and discrimination due to being gaijin
edit: for me, with enough money, my eyes would be covered [with money] from those cons.
more edit: information about benefits and other stuff is not available since the talk about me moving just began so, i would probably base everything to what is the norm
