This was great! I had no idea you worked in Tokyo, this is my big goal. Could you do a video on what it's like working in Japan and how to get a job in japan?
Thanks! There might be more videos that touch on Japan in the future but I'm not sure. I don't want to focus too much on Japan because many of my viewers don't have an interest in working in Japan specifically.
I'm a computer science major here in the states about to be a senior. Did you always wanna work in Japan? Did you know Japanese before you got the job? Do you like it? I kinda want to travel to Japan and being able to work over there sounds really cool, yet I don't know the language.
If you’ve already decided to come, start learning Japanese now. If you make the mistake of slacking off on this like I did, you will have limited opportunities with both jobs, and women/men 😉 I learned most of my Japanese in Japan. I didn’t know what I wanted to do when I was in college 🤣 and yes I do like it
Are you working for a foreign company or a Japanese company? It's my dream to live in Japan and work there but I'm kinda worried about the work culture there. Also, love your Go videos they are super helpful!
Work culture depends on the company out here. I work at a Japanese company but the work culture isn’t terrible. I’d say don’t let Japan rumors discourage you. Lots of awesome opportunities out here and people online tend to talk out of their asses, especially on places like Reddit 👍
Hey! I just discovered your channel and honestly I loved your video and kinda curious on how you got your job in Japan? Was it through your university? Or you applied through their website? It would be grateful If you can take some time and reply to this comment. Thankyou, Have A Nice day!
Hey, sure 🙂. I’ve had multiple jobs in Japan. All aside from 1 (my first job here), I applied while living in Japan. I’m almost certain that there are many companies here that hire from overseas though. If you can put up with Linkedin cringe, I think you’ll find many local recruiters that might be able to help you find work here. Hope it helps!
Can you please make a video about how you shoot and edit the videos. ABout the gear, about how much time did it take you to learn to edit and which software are you using for this?
I was just wondering something, I noticed that you had a tattoos on your arms. Have you notice any people treating you differently and are you allowed to enter/use onsin/public baths?
A little late, pursuing my C.S/S.E post bac degree. Hopefully I get in! I read stories about people in Japan offering you to join a club/go to the temple where you sign a document, where they basically take all your money from your bank account. (Scam, especially since they got your signature as support/donation to their "cause")
🤣 Yeah they gave me culty vibes but sometimes I just want to practice my Japanese so I'll use it as an opportunity to get in a quick lesson. Anyways, I'm sure you'll get in! 🚀
I am studying N4 level. Next April's intake, for bachelor. I have knowledge of full-stack development. Now currently freelancing can i get hired google for like part time or smth.
I mean getting hired at Google depends on so many things that I can’t really give you an answer. But I say work hard and shoot your shot my man! You’re already on the right path 😉
@@kantancoding ah no problem, tho a other question, is 60 million yen per annum pay enough for Tokyo. I mean it might be enough for survival, is it possible to have a decent life with it ??
I assume you mean 6 million jpy since 60 million is almost half a million usd. 6 million is enough to live in Tokyo for sure. Many Japanese live on a lot less.
That depends on the definition of DevOps engineer which isn’t necessarily constant throughout companies. I’m a backend software engineer but I still make use of DevOps practices, processes, and tools if necessary if that makes sense.
Nice vide bro! I came here "japan" to study at yanagawa highschool for 3 years and im learning front end development and then backend and then i want to become a software engineer. And what is your salary per year? Very nice video brother!!
That’s great bro! Seems like a really cool experience. I hope you enjoy :) Sorry, I don’t want to put my personal information online but if you want to see what salaries are across the board in Japan I recommend opensalary.jp, blind, and Reddit.
Hey bro can i become a freelancer in japan and also is entrepreneurship in demand there like?Like how do i get people for project i want to do as a team ,any idea or tips.
No, you won’t have a problem. If you know c++ you should have no problem picking up any other imperative language. Honestly, it really doesn’t matter what language you start with.
If you want to get a job, then I would not advise C++ or Java. Go for Go, TypeScript, Python, or something of the like. In any case, it's important to research on what's in demand in your local area. The problem with Java or Ruby, is that they are now mostly for legacy projects, where it's not easy to intern/get a junior position. A more suitable one would be Kotlin (mostly for Android), or C# if you're leaning more towards back-end.
Apart from the work culture. I've heard of a loneliness epidemic in Japan. Like how it is not easy to make friends especially for gaijins. How true is this claim if I may ask?
The loneliness thing is more attributed to a person’s lifestyle in my opinion. It’s not just foreigners, it’s anybody who doesn’t break away from the ease of just staying home and using social media. Japanese people included. Just like any other place, you have to make an effort to go out and meet people. It’s not like Japan specifically has some barriers that makes it more difficult for you to meet people unless of course you are talking about the language. But even still, plenty of English speakers in Japan. So in conclusion, it depends on you. Easy to be lonely in this increasingly digital world regardless of what country you’re in.
11:16 that colors looks good, which theme is that? and other thing I want to know is how you knew about the job offer?, did you looked in pages or something like that? great video :3

I’ve never actually exposed them in a job interview (long sleeves) and I’ve never had issues after starting work but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t people out there that would judge me for them.
Working from home gets lonely sometimes if you don't have a family. If you're not careful, it can become a very depressing and lonely way to live. It's easy to become isolated if you work remote and never make the effort to get out around other people in my opinion. When I go to the the office I meet with my team most of the time. Sometimes I go alone if I want to get out of my apartment and at least be around other people. Also, I like talking to random people to practice my Japanese. But of course this is all just my personal preference.
the worst day in ur life possible. don't think it's cool. after 2-3 month this will become ur nightmare where u don't have ur time in ur life, and ur life is under company. ur brain, ur relationships, ur body, ur health, mental health will be fucking destroyed. don't wish such a job. it's not about free people, it's about slaves and nolifers without money also, if u think 2-10k usd a month is money. so you will not have time to spend those money, maybe for doctors and pathetic tries to have vacation 1-2 weeks a year thinking about that nightmare will come back soon. this is not a life, people shouldn't make it romantic. i'd rather be homeless with no property but free. it's too important if you don't get it now, u will in the future.
oh im so glad i found you! love how youre just real about your day in life, and not mention your in japan! WAKU WAKU!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Liked the elevator akwardness😂, keeping your mobile devices in contact with your smart cards may cause the card to have a defect in efficiency
😂I will keep that in mind in the future. Thank you!
Liked for the elevator awkwardness.
Thanks for sitting through that with me 🫠
Holding a computer on your lap is very unergonomic. You will be in pain in the future.

I hope to get more such information through you and your videos!
cool :) what camera do you use for recording :)) like i feel the akwardnes of the elevator hahah its cool
My phone strapped to backpack for that part. Thanks for partaking in the awkwardness 😂
do you have any tips for foreigners who want to work as software engineer in japan? besides learning japanese
It depends if you have work experience as a SWE already
@@kantancoding I have but am still starting, I am fullstack but already have proven work experience
How to shoot a first-person perspective vlog? Can you give some advice? What equipment is used?
Just strap your phone to your chest and go about your day. Edit later. That’s pretty much it 😉
A real day in the life at least. Btw bro is a certified introvert, a confused one 😅😅
😂🤣
Please answer my question what company do you work for, where do you want to apply? Is there a recuitment every year?
Is it permissible to use GPT when repairing error code?
It’s not a test brother, it’s a job. Use the resources at your disposal to get the job done.
Can you please make a video about how you shoot and edit the videos. ABout the gear, about how much time did it take you to learn to edit and which software are you using for this?
Hmm this channel isn’t focused on that stuff. It really wouldn’t make sense to make that video 🙂
What company do you work for I’m just curious.
😅
What is the name of your alram tone?
how many hours do you work?
what was the left guy doing at around 4:20?
He was guiding the other two guys in the elevator
good stuff bro keep it up
I was just wondering something, I noticed that you had a tattoos on your arms. Have you notice any people treating you differently and are you allowed to enter/use onsin/public baths?
If people treat me differently, it’s because I’m a foreigner. Not because of my tattoos. I cover them with tape when I go to onsen 🙂
@@kantancoding thanks for the reply. I guess the stigma about tattoos isn't as bad as it used to be.

Can you tell on what tech stack do you work on??
There are multiple 🙂
I getting to cs college and iam afraid to not get job (cant find ) is that normal is that good choice i did ?
Also what is your degree
Sorry brother, I can’t make that decision for you. And I can’t speak to whether or not it’s worth it because I don’t have a CS degree.
I am studying N4 level. Next April's intake, for bachelor. I have knowledge of full-stack development. Now currently freelancing can i get hired google for like part time or smth.
I mean getting hired at Google depends on so many things that I can’t really give you an answer.
But I say work hard and shoot your shot my man! You’re already on the right path 😉
How much is the rent, and where do you live. Can you please tell, moving to Tokyo this November.
For obvious reasons, I won’t post here where I live. The rent varies drastically depending on where you live. You will have to google it.
@@kantancoding ah no problem, tho a other question, is 60 million yen per annum pay enough for Tokyo. I mean it might be enough for survival, is it possible to have a decent life with it ??

That depends on the definition of DevOps engineer which isn’t necessarily constant throughout companies. I’m a backend software engineer but I still make use of DevOps practices, processes, and tools if necessary if that makes sense.
Oh I got it, all the best for your career man 🤝🏼
How much do you earn in a year? I wanna be a programmer so im curious about that
I suggest just researching average salaries.

Hey bro can i become a freelancer in japan and also is entrepreneurship in demand there like?Like how do i get people for project i want to do as a team ,any idea or tips.
As a beginner I m learning c++. Any problem in future to get placement, cuz someone says go with Java & someone says c++.

Why is it in Akiba are you working at a game company? I also want to work in Japan simply because I am an otaku, wonder if you can introduce a bit how to get to work in Japan
DM me on Instagram
I hope you don't mind me asking, but did you gain experience in the States and then move over to Japan (and work as a software engineer)? Thank you🥹
I’ve actually been in Japan for most of my professional life so most of my skills were acquired while working in Japan 🙂
Have your tattoos affected your likelihood of obtaining a job I’m just curious your the first software engineer I’ve seen with them that’s why
I’ve never actually exposed them in a job interview (long sleeves) and I’ve never had issues after starting work but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t people out there that would judge me for them.
wait, are you japanese or you migrated there? and did you school there? your speaking the language is amazing
Hey thanks! I’m American. I did not go to school here 🙂

Nope 😉
