Hey guys I’m not sure what to do and I would like some advice. I want to move to Japan in August from Florida but I’m not sure how I could make a living there or what’s the best method to look.
Basic info summarized
-I have a Japanese passport and I chose to be Japanese at 21 at the city hall.
-I have a permanent residency in the US but I might lose it if I go to Japan. I’m thinking about doing the reentry permit every two years until I figure something out
-I’m 27 year old male with bachelors in accounting.
-I have about 5 years in experience working in the US as an accountant.
-I lived in Japan until I was in 5th grade. So I know enough Japanese to converse but I am not at business level of speaking it or writing it.
-Why august? I feel like I have enough money saved up by then and also I’ve been wanting to go back since I was 18.
-I plan on living near Tokyo – Fussa – Hachioji (but if there are opportunities I would live anywhere since I have no one waiting for me in Japan)
-let me know if I need to provide more info
I was thinking maybe I can find American companies that’s located in Japan? Since they would use GAAP to report back to USA my experience would still be transferable. And my Japanese would be a plus.
The main thing is I would like to know what I should do to make a living. I was thinking worst case scenario I can teach English or like construction job?
My other thing is I wonder what I should do for living situation once I get there? I hear landlords require you to have a job before having apartments so cheap hotels are best?
But anyways I would love the guidance since I think a lot of people have been in my situation and I am going there alone so I am kind of nervous.
Thank you for your time.
