Hey friend please go for it.
However, with zero experience, you wonโ€™t find a remote job that pays you well enough to afford a comfortable life in Japan. All entry level coding jobs are taken by Indians using chatGPT and it pays like $10 an hour at most.

But if you grind for 10 years you could build up enough clout to work remotely for big bucks. Maybe

If you want to move to Japan, you must be employed by a Japanese company or a company with a representative office in Japan

You can't do that if you can't even look up the requirements for a start-up visa.

It's not working. Your competition at the entry level is billions of Jeets, Pakis etc using Chat GPT and willing to work for cents. Those are the same people calling people for days hoping to scam 1-2 people per week out of a $10-50 itunes/google play card, their time is worthless and anything more than 0 is great.

The well paying remote jobs are either the reward for building up your career or finding a retarded company that for some reason has great earnings and pays you $10k/months to basically babysit their server.
The first takes 5-10 years to get started, the later is a 1:10m chance

For real response

OP if you can't get a job in your home country it's unlikely to get one in Japan, You can do the working Holiday Visa program if you're country is on the list to look and apply for work. Though a fresh grad, probably little to no Japanese, not going to get much if anything.

Just take the 90-180 day visa free you get and enjoy a gap year with that 20k, then go find a job and work towards something remote.

No, retard. The IT/CS gravy train is OVER unless you are a JEET!
You chose poorly! You shouldve gone into law, medicine, or picked a trade a jeet canโ€™t do! Now you will compete in the race to the bottom with Rajesh and Mohit!

No degree ever will help you, even a Phd is worthless once you go from university to the actual market
You degree has 0 value in the actual salary market. It's just a door opener so a company will take you in as you shown interest and dedication to the field to learn completely outdated stuff for years so there's a slim chance they might be able to turn you into something usable.

The only guarantee of a high paying tech job salary in the USA right now is a job that requires citizenship and a security clearance. And those jobs will not let you work abroad. Everything that can be done abroad will be done by a jeet on the cheap.

Just throwing this out there. The longer you spend in school the more doors you close. When I was going through grad application process one of my professors sat me down and actually talked me through this as well. Yes a PhD or Masters will get you potential access to niche job markets but they are small and highly competitive. The reality is people will look at your degrees and toss your resume aside because they will expect you want to be paid a lot or too qualified (unironically). If you actually want a job you need experience which means interning and starting early. Also Grad school is not cheap, it's fucking expensive and PhD is probably a nightmare without grants/scholarships or paid for by an employer.

The problem it's not bad if you get your foot not just in the door but trough the door and willing to put in 3-5 years to get out of the junior positions and build a portfolio to show off to get actual good jobs way out of the Pajeet/Ransheed league.
If your dream is a 100k+ remote job just because you have a degree, this is not going to happen.
But yeah entry level is fucked so better start to network right now, even a internship is better than nothing.

think about the kind of career you'd like to have

Japanese tech industry is like $5-6k/month senior stuff. maybe high $100k-200k TOPS for their whole industry.

USA you could pull $200k as a senior and high end is $400-600k with the best tech companies the world has to offer.

oh and you'd need japanese for a lot of the $5-6k japan remote contracts.>>2805007
>Have this (YOU) enjoy being a doomer
I agree that these guys are being way too doomer. In internal tech forums, people are pulling an array of offers. here's the quote:
"""Have 5 offers in hand from a span of 2mo:
meta, pinterest, lyft, sf & nyc startup

Probably submitted about 40 apps, which converted to 6 full loops

Don't get discouraged by the naysayers"""
>>2805106
>build a portfolio to show off
I never built a portfolio beyond a toy app in 2017 and I most recently made $300k/yr. several zero portfolio friends with $400-500k jobs too. they're all highly intelligent tho
