Hello! I have been shortlisted for this year and have been researching about all the finance stuff while reading the JET Program Handbook I saw it says that you get paid the month of your arrival but I’ve heard people say they get paid after almost 2 months of working (ESID and also my Japanese company was like that i.e you get your first months salary on your second months 25th etc)
My question:
1.When did you get paid?
If comfortable can you share a timeline from arrival to receiving your first salary.
- What are some unexpected things that you had to pay for?
As a bonus what did you do with you first salary? I like hearing stories so feel free to share any interesting stuff!
PS. For my fellow gamers, I want to buy a PC in Japan can you let me know how expensive it may be? Thanks!!
