Work life balance compared to The West

Hi, so i did a year studying in Japan and am still living here and will be starting my masters soon here also and am sort of trying to figure out my future. I don’t know yet whether i will work in Japan post graduate degree so I want to know what people working (specifically foreigners) in Japan find of the work life. I have a lot of friends in Japan working who are Japanese and it’s mixed bag of answers from them so I was curious how foreigners have found work compared to in the west. Of course I will get help from my uni and will do shukatsu but it’s best knowing from the source and beforehand. Any help or knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks.
