I'm planning to quit my current job as a Software Engineer at the end of 2025 to go to Japan.
I have two options:
- working holiday visa
- language school
Background Info:
- 25yo (by end of 2025)
- 2 years of experience as Software Engineer (by end of 2025)
- bachelors degree in CS
- N3 Japanese
- ~€20.000 savings (by end of 2025)
- German
My goal is to land a SE Job in Japan so that I can work & live there.
Through my research I tend to go with the working holiday visa since it's less expensive (no tuition cost) and I have more time to work (no language school to attend). However, attending language school for a year would significantly improve my Japanese; also I heard there's some Job Hunt Visas available when language school ends?
Which route would be the best to achieve this?
