Hey everyone, I’d like to get your thoughts on something that feels a bit unusual. A recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn saying their company in Japan can sponsor my working visa. Sounds great at first, but here’s the catch — they said I need to be working remotely for another employer (basically an outsourcing setup). According to them, they’ll talk to my current employer and ask that my salary be sent to their company instead. Then, they’ll handle all the deductions for taxes, insurance, etc. I currently earn around 4.8M yen per year. They also said the company would cover my housing, internet, and other work-related needs once I’m in Japan. We’ve already started talking, and the recruiter mentioned they’ll need to sign some kind of agreement between them and my company.
