Hey everyone, I am a 27 year old male pursing my Masters in computer science in India. I have got two offers during the placements drives. 1. NetApp - CTC 16L. 2. Japaneese Based Startup(Osaka,Japan) - CTC 3.2 million yen. Post tax i would get 217,000 yen monthly. I have 2.5 year of prior experience. I am pretty confused which offer to consider. Job role is pretty same. Is it worth it to consider the Japan Offer ? Any advice is appreciated! #newgradsalary #japan#offer #swe #software #engineering
217000 yen converted to INR (considering ppp) is around 47k. I don't think it's worth considering Japan offer.
Don't listen to Expedia - of course it's true that work culture is harsher for more companies on average than in the US, but there are tons of great companies in Japan too. See TokyoDev and JapanDev. 3.2M yen is NOT a good engineering salary though. Try to shoot for at least 6M. If you're exceptional you can get around 10M. See OpenSalary. Quality of life in Japan is great, no regrets about the pay cut I took to get here.
Yes, I spoke to people living there I might have to live paycheck to paycheck. Currently I'm considering NetApp offer.

If Osama was alive today, would he have found support from some liberals in the same way they now support Palestine?
Japan has pretty rough working culture , I'm not even going to WLB but the culture is very strongly heirchial and as an Indian you'll find urself alienated because of language and cultural barrier. And even the money you're getting there will afford you between an lower middle class and mid class lifestyle in Japanese big cities. Mind you that tokyo , osaka etc are worlds most expensive cities. So I want to understand the reason for the confusion. People are confused about Europe since its a chill place but why Japan .
