People are gonna run with this video , especially considering the German guys video was the only reference point for the last 7 years 😂 The influx of applicants from the West might just screw this opportunity up in the near future. 😩
Hi man. I've recently found your channel and I love it. I'll share here my situation, maybe it's interesting. Short description: I'll be 23 this month, I've just graduated from uni last year. I'm from Romania and I'm currently working as an ad labeling agent at Genpact. Our company's client is Amazon and I'm working for the Polish market. The work is remote so that saves me a lot of commute time that I can use for studying. I've been studying frontend for about 1 year by myself but just the last 2/3 months I started to hardcore practice every single day for like 6+ hours or so. I'm fluent in English, Polish and Russian. Romanian is my native language. I also speak some German and Japanese, which I'm currently learning. For Japanese it's very basic like I'm about to finish the Genki 1 textbook and notebook so it's not much but I have a lot of Japanese friends so I can practice with them and use it constantly. My plan is to learn programming as much as possible this year, like all day every day and try to land a job here in Bucharest. Sometimes it's very frustrating when you can't understand even the most simplistic algorithms (this is my weakness and biggest frustration) but I've decided I'm not giving up until I get a job in this field. So far I created some basic stuff like a weather app where you put in the city name and it displays various metrics of that location and also sets a background image of that city using APIs, a calculator app, a tic tac toe game etc. Very basic stuff still. By the time I get a job I'll assume my Japanese will also be better, I made a target to get an N4 certificate this year, I tried to complete some sample materials and it's not bad at all, maybe till end of the year I can even get an N3 if I go ballistic, it depends how fast I can get a developer job so I can shift focus on Japanese. The tricky part is that my bachelor's degree is in foreign languages and literatures, so I'm wondering how on earth I could get a job as a web developer in Japan if I don't have a relevant degree, even if I'll have some experience. My country doesn't qualify for a working holiday visa so there's that. My other option would be after getting a dev job here and some months later to apply for jobs in Germany and move there for a time until I figure out how to get to Japan. I'd like to hear your opinion about this. I've already set a goal that in max 2 years I'll be living in Japan. I've already started saving up and so far I got enough for living 3/4 months on stand by in Japan. Anyways, I really like your content, this channel will blow up 4 sure. Have a chill day, I hope to hear from you!
Hi Lee Wu, Thank you for reaching out. I read your story and I see you are at the beginning steps. I'll make a response video in a few days. You will know when it is released as the video will contain "Romain" jr Dev. Cheers
I'm dealing with the same position as this fella and trying to follow the same strategy, except he has access to working holiday visa which opens a little door for him
I took N2 8 years ago and failed. I never studied... I'll probably fail now if I tried. It's not important if you've been here long enough working in a company. I should probably try to get it this year. Too lazy. N3 should be a lot easier. So I think

Great. I hope it works for others too.
@@devippo I think I'm gonna try the ITPEC route.
@@Yumemaru. All the best!

@@devippo Thank you for replying! Definitely looking forward for the vid, have a good one!

Yeah. Working holiday visa is really a cheat code for many people.
Without that you really got to hustle to get a job from overseas.
Don’t give up though. Experience is everything! Network, make projects you can show for- do everything you’ve got to do!
imagine wanting to leave one of the most beautiful countries on earth that ALSO has the most beautiful women AND is affordable cost of living ...
Argentina, affordable cost of living. Are you high?
You took the JLPT test? N3 is too hard to get?
I took N2 8 years ago and failed.
I never studied...
I'll probably fail now if I tried.
It's not important if you've been here long enough working in a company. I should probably try to get it this year. Too lazy.
N3 should be a lot easier. So I think
