Hey everyone, I’ve been planning to move to Japan for work and would love some feedback whether my plan sounds realistic.
I’m a Taiwanese living in Taiwan, I want to work as a software engineer in Japan but I have no relevant experience nor formal computer science education background.
I’m planning to attend the university here for computer science this upcoming semester, and prepare for the FE exam organized by IPA, all while working. (I speak Japanese so studying for the exam in Japanese wouldn’t be an issue)
I’m lucky that my family owns a small business, where they’ll let me build websites for them as their full stack engineer, so I will also have projects/experience for future job application references.
Does it sound realistic at all? I came out with the plan by myself and have no one to console, so any feedback would be much appreciated!
tl;dr: I am Taiwanese and want to work in Japan as a software engineer despite having no CS work experience nor education background. Does my plan to acquire both Bachelor’s degrees and working experience sound doable?
