Need advice on salary negotiation if moving Japan

Hi everyone,

I’m currently based in India and working as a Senior Software Engineer, earning around ₹38 lakhs per annum (fixed). I’ve been getting some interest from companies in Japan (Tokyo area), but I have no real idea what a fair or equivalent salary would look like in those markets.

I’m trying to understand:

What would be a comparable or competitive salary for my experience level in Japan?

How much should I negotiate for if I want to maintain or improve my current standard of living?

Any advice on cost of living, taxes, and savings potential in both countries would be really helpful too.

Thanks in advance!
