We're currently based in Singapore and we have ok jobs here but our company is trying to offshore some processes to other countries, and our applications for permanent residence are always declined. We started looking for jobs and my wife (Japanese) got a job at a prestigious multinational company in Japan.
We're in our 40s and we have a toddler, I don't speak Japanese so I'm thinking I'm screwed: middle-aged guy, doesn't speak Japanese, starting over without a job.
My wife still hasn't decided if she's going to take the job or not. She doesn't really like the working culture in Japan and she worked hard to move out of the country after uni. But she feels like it might be a good move, especially with the uncertainty here.
My background is more on people management so I feel like I'm screwed with the language thing. Our son also needs someone to take care of him while he adjusts so I'm thinking I'm going to be the default SAHD for a while.
Is it as bad as I'm thinking? Do you have any tips, recommendations, or any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
