Hi everyone,
I’m currently based in India, earning around ¥510,000/month.
I recently received an offer from a reputed company in Tokyo, Japan with a compensation of about 10 Million yen per year.
I’m married and have a 1-year-old daughter, so family comfort and long-term savings are important to me. I’ve never lived in Japan before and I’m trying to understand realistically what life would look like there for a family of three.
I’m looking for insights on:
-
Cost of living in Tokyo for a family of 3
-
What kind of apartment and neighborhood can I afford on this salary?
-
After taxes, rent, childcare, insurance, utilities, transportation, etc., how much is realistic to save per month?
4.Is ¥10M considered good / average / low for a senior software engineer in Tokyo?
5.How is work-life balance, culture, and social adjustment when moving from India?
If anyone has moved recently from India (or similar countries) to Japan, would love to hear your before/after experience.
Thanks in advance.
