Curious about this as well. Is it better if the company is American?

I would doubt it cuz while the company might be American management is still Japanese. Only if what I said was correct. Don't want to make any assumptions

How is your commute? TC: $180k

Hitachi molabande OP Jul 13, 2020

Its not a pleasure because trains were usually packed cause I had to commute during peak peak hours. It take me about 45min door to door. I did also add tat recently, I can choose to commute during off peak hours or WFH.

LinkedIn waggytail Jul 14, 2020

is 45 mins commute typical? That seems pretty long to me, though I have always tried to live close to work to avoid commuting.

How fucked are your taxes? TC 51USD/hr

Hitachi molabande OP Jul 13, 2020

I did say it's not too bad. Consumer taxes 10%. Income taxes 20%.

Best Buy rlOt74 Jul 13, 2020

Thanks, that sounds pretty fair considering all of the infrastructure Tokyo has to offer. I had a misconception that the taxes were even higher in JP than in the EU countries.

whats dating life like? best and worst part about living in tokyo? 144k

Hitachi molabande OP Jul 14, 2020

The dating scene is similar to other places in the world. Just that men are more likely to be shy than women in general. If you are western women, you will have to chase more than expected elsewhere.

Hitachi molabande OP Jul 14, 2020

Best part: very convenient. All parts of the city is we'll connect by trains or bus that run regularly. There is a convenience store at every corner. Public toilets are clean.
