Hi everyone,
I’m currently searching for tech jobs in Tokyo, but I don’t have a degree in IT or Computer Science. However, I recently passed the ITPEC Fundamental Information Technology Engineer (FE) exam, which allows passers to get a work visa even without a degree or 10 years of experience.
I’ve been learning and working on frontend development with React and Next.js, and I’ve also picked up Python. However, I don’t have any work experience in a tech job yet, and I’m aiming to join as a fresher or new grad or intern.
Despite my efforts, I’ve been struggling to get good responses while applying for jobs. I’ve been thinking about enrolling in an IT bootcamp in Tokyo, like Code Chrysalis or Le Wagon, but the cost is pretty high, and I'm unsure if it’s worth the investment.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you land a job without an IT degree, and if so, how? I would really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Or are there any other alternatives I should consider to improve my chances in this scenario?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
