I'm a senior software developer with roughly 9 years experience. From reading through TokyoDev, it's quite possible to land a job from outside Japan. Higher salaries even seem to correlate with NO Japanese ability at all. So my thinking to go to a language school first isn't even about that (I simply would want to learn the language if there and it wouldn't hurt my chances at jobs), but about applying for jobs while already in the country. Does this make a ton of difference to job chances in the tech field?
