Hi everyone,
Im a 19 year old dual student (basically working and studying at the same time) from Germany and Im trying to plan ahead for moving to Japan. I study International Business while working for a large company, and will finish my degree in about 1,5 years.
I speak German, English and Spanish, and Ive recently started learning Japanese. My current ideas are either:
doing a Master degree in Japan after finishing my Bachelor, or getting hired full time by my current company and getting transferred internally to Japan (which is theoretically possible in my case, though not guaranteed)
Im aware that the job market in Japan is challenging (especially for foreigners), and without strong Japanese skills (ideally I will have built my japanese skills up to then to a decent level). I would really appreciate some answered to some questions I still have:
How are my chances to find Jobs in Japan with my background and what Masters are in high demand in Japan/ would be smart to get?
What are realistic salary expectations?
Are there specific skills, certifications, or steps I should focus on in the next 1-2 years to improve my chances?
Im trying to plan ahead a little to make my life easier down the line, so if you guys have any advice (including potential downsides or red flags) that would be awesome.
Thanks a lot in advance!
