The channel is great man. I'm 1.5 years out of uni (in the UK) working in machine learning. I've done an internship in Japan previously, and longed to go back ever since. I think it's possible now but would be easier and would get a better job there if I waited to gain another 1-2 years experience.
I was already convinced on living and working there, but I love these kinds of videos, positive! currently in highschool in my country and it's still a long ways to go.. i found this channel in the first place because I was wondering if I should do tech or not but I still don't know. hopefully I'll be able to get there and work; great video as always!!!
The thing interested me the most is the activities, living in europe now but because I have no car so not many places I can go for a break in the weekend.
@@DevinJapan Another thing I think could be the positive point in Japan is the convenient. Damn, I miss that you can walk 5 minutes and have everything you need at anytime of the day. Here they close the shops at 9 Pm, and restaurants at 10 PM and everything is completely close in Sunday.
Hi Mustafa, I really enjoy your content and it taught me things I never knew about Japan before. Im currently in 3rd year CS ( Also from canada like you ) , and i plan on learning Japanese and getting internships. My question is , did you feel homesick when you left Canada because thats my biggest worry since my whole family is here.
Of course I feel homesick now and again. I have my own family though. I recommend you find a company that gives good amount of paid vacation and just fly back yearly. Or alternate with your family visiting You here. I'm sure they would enjoy the experience. Cool stories to tell.
Hey Man, Your videos are really great. I am from India and I have experience of 4 years in Software Development ( Java and JavaScript ). I don't speak Japanese. Please give some advice. I really want to relocate over there Thanks

Thanks for the videos, very informative and motivating. I'm currently living in Japan, studying to switch careers and become a web developer here. I hope to start applying for jobs in the next few months and its been great to get your insights on working and finding work here. Can I ask a random question or three? I'm a gamer like yourself and was thinking of getting a new keyboard (currently using UK layout keyboard), but should I get a Japanese keyboard to better familiarize myself for any future work? Also, how do jobs typically provide you with hardware when starting work? i.e. get handed a crusty old laptop/bring your own/ some level of choice? Thanks man
Hi Mustafa , I really love your videos and I learnt a lot of new things about working in japan. I am currently a highschool student in my final year . I have a great interest in coding and about to take CS in college . Can you help me choosing a college in japan for studying CS in cheap ?
Hey brother I'm a big fan of anime is there a museum or so that shows you when the first anime was created or how they create anime would love to go and see that please do recommend some places!
Hi! I am considering moving to Japan when u graduate my cs degree in 2 years time in Singapore. Do you have any advice on what will be the process like in terms of job hunting, visa application etc? and also, what is it like working as a dev in Japan? do most foreign/non-foreign companies adopt Japanese culture like having to leave later than their boss etc? Love ur vids btw!
Hey Mustafa, loving your videos! Really helps stem college students like myself come up with a career plan upon graduation to work in Japan. As I'm finishing up my 2nd year of my mechatronics degree now, I thought it would be prime time to start looking for internships. Do you have any experience or advice in that matter of finding an internship in Japan? I am currently located in Australia if that helps.
Hello. Firstly I'm glad you like the channel. :D Companies like Toyota, Daimler Trucks Asia, Nissan for automobile I know have international teams and hire interns. With current situation they might not be though. But later on for sure. I'm not too familiar with mechatronics related companies but in general I recommend you learn Japanese to N2 level at least for the most job opportunity. Generally outside of dev jobs, English is not that common.
@@DevinJapan Yep, those were the companies I had a look at! Seems they have frozen hiring interns from overseas, but will probably start again after April 2021. I'm currently N2 level so hopefully something will work out! Thanks heaps for your reply, and I look forward to more of your brilliant videos. Not many people go that deep and provide such insight into one of the biggest industries (software dev) in Japan.
I love your videos! And I love Japan and I’m planning to move to Japan after my post graduation but I recently came across some news regarding Japan’s recession though I knew about it but now I don’t know how it will affect people who want to move to Japan long term like I’m currently doing my engineering and I’ll complete it by 2024 and masters in years after that so would Japan still be a good option then for working there, just curious like will the worsening economy give some problems obviously we can’t tell, but how is the situation of jobs and all there, and what is your speculation for it in the next 10 years or so.
Just say you want to go to Friday prayer during an extended lunch break and work longer at the end of the day. Halal food is widely available. When in doubt just become a vegetarian that eats fish.
Can you please tell me about the work culture in japan? I heard you get very less leisure time if you're working in a Japanese Company...is it true for all the foreign companies there too?
International companies work life balance is a lot better. Startups can be a good place and the big tech companies as well as some other companies might surprise you. I worked at Mitsubishi Fuso and it was a wonderful workplace and international environment even though people might expect it to be very Japanese. They even have a basketball court and gym.
@@DevinJapan thank you for the reply! I was thinking of working in japan after my post graduation but all these videos and articles about work life in Japan scares me. I want to have a decent social life too
Great video! Even if you are an expat in Japan, they'd pay you the unemployment allowance until you get another job? or you need to have PR or Passport?
If you live in Japan sure but if you are currently not in Japan that would be difficult. Although not impossible most companies that hire internationally are looking for skilled individuals with experience.
So find a way to come here. Maybe work holiday visa and job hunt here. Work part time jobs if you need in the meantime. Or get a job that allows remote and then move here and job hunt.
@@DevinJapan ok I see I look forward for your videos. So I got a question what kind of software developers does japan need because once I get my degree I’m coming to japan
Short and to the point! Love it!
Glad you liked it!

Best of luck!
I’m just glad to see a positive video on why one should live in Japan. There’s to many negatives

Thanks. Hope you are able to make it here and land into a great job.
When you learn the language you can finally watch anime without staring at words that go away to quickly
Positive vibes!

The thing interested me the most is the activities, living in europe now but because I have no car so not many places I can go for a break in the weekend.
Was the same for me in Canada. Was bored out of my mind on weekends. Ended up just video gaming.

hey I'm wondering, how you could get a halal food and do friday prayer when you on working hour?
Just say you want to go to Friday prayer during an extended lunch break and work longer at the end of the day.
Halal food is widely available. When in doubt just become a vegetarian that eats fish.
@@DevinJapan thanks bro, hopefully I could get any opportunity in japan as soon as posible
Hi 👋
I am looking for opportunities in Japan as software engineer.
Would you like any suggestions?
Can you please tell me about the work culture in japan? I heard you get very less leisure time if you're working in a Japanese Company...is it true for all the foreign companies there too?

Great video! Even if you are an expat in Japan, they'd pay you the unemployment allowance until you get another job? or you need to have PR or Passport?
You have until your visa expires to get another job. In that time you can receive unemployment insurance benefit.
Thanks a lot!
Is 1 year of work experience in tech enough to find job in Japan?
If you live in Japan sure but if you are currently not in Japan that would be difficult. Although not impossible most companies that hire internationally are looking for skilled individuals with experience.
So find a way to come here. Maybe work holiday visa and job hunt here. Work part time jobs if you need in the meantime. Or get a job that allows remote and then move here and job hunt.
@@DevinJapan How many years experience did you have when you moved to Japan?
@@tomtucjr I only had experience working as an intern. Check out my story video on the channel.
Can you tell me the average pay a machine learning engineer can expect?
check opensalary.jp
I thought you didn’t make videos anymore
I'm considering resuming. I stopped making videos because Japan had borders closed for the longest time.
@@DevinJapan ok I see I look forward for your videos. So I got a question what kind of software developers does japan need because once I get my degree I’m coming to japan
If I come as saferty officer from Tanzania,how many years could be allowed to get Japanese citizenship with Japanese.
@@DevinJapan oh ok I see I understand. Looking forward to moving there as soon as I get my degree in IT.
now he doesnt lol
Hi, is possible for a black girl future data scientist to work in japan without racism ?
There is no differentiation based on color of your skin in Japan. You are either Japanese or Gaijin.
@@DevinJapan So it is easy to find a job in Japan and have the same salary as Japanese ?
