M38, have a PR and living in Japan for almost 19 years (work about 8 years). My wife same nationality as me and I have a son. My job is a design engineer, with salary slightly above 6mil per year. I am thinking of leaving Japan because I am not enjoying my work anymore. I have built a house last year but this make my choice of new workplace limited. I am not living in a big cities like Tokyo or Osaka. If not of the house, I will go somewhere else in Japan or other country or back to my home. Should I wait until working for 10 years for pension, or just sell my house ASAP, and leave? I know the money from the selling will be lower than how much I bought. My wife also do not like Japan at all and keep pushing me to go somewhere else.
