Hello, I would be thankfull for any advice you have.
I’m a 28-year-old person from Balkans, and here's my background:
I have Bachelor’s in Language studies, JLPT N4 passed, probably was around upper N3, lower N2, a couple of years ago (never took the test), but because of personal reasons and time constraints I didn't have the time to study and forgot a lot.
I worked a little bit in IT retail, then i moved to the IT hardware sales and procurement which I did for a couple of years, then to IT presales and consultation, but because of certain changes in the company, i left and moved to a different company doing basic IT work, and some office administration.
I have working knowledge of video editing (Premiere Pro) and cinematography because of my hobby, but i'm nowhere near a professional.
I'm flexible about the work, but I would like to stay in IT if possible. I guess since I don't have any official education in that segment, or certificates, it would be hard to get into that? I do speak "Balkan" languages and am fluent in English.
I guess the logical step would be for me to study Japanese and try to pass N2 or N1? Or should i focus on getting some IT certificates? I was thinking of studying some programming in my spare time.
I'll be blunt. Moving to Japan would be nice, but I do have a decent job, so I'm not really in a hurry to move, or at all, but i would like to feel how it is to live in Japan (I went a couple of years ago to Tokyo for 3 weeks and i loved it)
