I would like to know what would be the usual salary these guys would offer.
Also, what is a good salary to start if I will be working in Tokyo at least I can negotiate a better offer.
Current status: 2nd interview done. If successful I will be relocating with my wife, we don't have kids yet.

For perspective, new grads make 300k JPY to start.
They are also known for promising a salary (which is already low by international and Japanese standards) then lowering the pay after a few months.
The average tenure is around a year. In order to get the job you have to read the founder's book and write an essay on it. For all the complaints Amazon has, Rakuten makes them look like paradise.
Consider not being hired there as having dodged a bullet.
I want to get out of Rakuten so badly that is probably accept a salary even lower than Rakuten pays. Amazon is probably aware of Rakuten's pay scale, because the job I'm applying for had a salary in the description and it _just happened to be_ within 2000 yen per month of what I get now.
13.7m JPY TC.
YoE: 3.5
Base: 10.8m JPY
RSU: 2.9m JPY
Expect this to go up this week from annual review process.
When I was L5, my base was 6.6m JPY and same RSUs.
(And how did you get to L6 in just three and a half years? When I applied to Amazon, with 21 YoE and a PhD, I was applying for L4.)
The only thing Rakuten is a winner from the UX job posts is they dont require you to know Japanese. I know a lot of people learned along the way.
In the case of Amazon in terms of UX job description, they mentioned you need to be fluent in Japanese. Is this mandatory? Then there will be less people with good talents applying.
