Looking to apply to some Tokyo offices. Who has the highest TC in the Tokyo area without being awful to work for? Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Google? I heard once that Indeed Tokyo is not a great place to work, but more data points are nice. yoe: 3 tc: 180k FYI: I'm a non-Japanese East Asian, not white or Indian, so I'm not looking to get any of that.
Username checks out.
google offered 176k all-in for L5 SWE. Indeed L4 equivalent pays more.
Numbers for Indeed? Also doesn't Google vest immediately no cliff?
Much more likely to find a good job on the West Coast that involves frequent travel to Japan than a Tokyo job with decent TC😂
😂
It depends what role you’re looking for. I’ve heard many good things about Indeed in Tokyo.

You should give it a try. They work on new projects and there’s room for making an impact.
Best part about being a white gaijin in Japan is you can show up at 9am, get shit done, work until 530pm, then go home while everyone else stays until 9pm. And they won’t care because they’ll think it’s because you’re a gaijin. Also you get 3x the girls. Nippon banzai.
What was (is?) your TC?
If TC is so low, and dedication so high, then why am I not running my startup out of Tokyo. Is there something else wrong?
Afaik there are very few options in Tokyo. Amazon, Indeed, Google, a few startups like Merkari.....what else?
Join Google in the Bay Area, wait 1 year and transfer. This way you'll get your mountain view equity grant vesting in Tokyo for 3 years :) If you must join in Tokyo, I think Indeed has the best comp.

How's the culture at Indeed?
Insanely good.
Man I love Tokyo. What’s your favorite anime?
The one with inappropriate amount of gore.
Gore? What about the one with the boobs that can move around bullets
