My boss just called me and told me that I have to move to Japan.
She also told me that I'm being promoted, my salary will be more than doubled and I'll receive 20k to cover moving expenses. >the guy I'm replacing died of a heart attack three hours ago >moving me to Japan is an emergency >I don't speak Japanese
I don't know jack shit about Japan. All I know is that I have to report to an office building in Nagoya, Aichi by 9:00am Tuesday. What do?
>I don't speak Japanese I've heard that it is really easy for an American to get a girlfriend over there. You'll be speaking Japanese in no time.
Carter Phillips
go to shinjuku. waves american passport in air. see a line of girls form in front of you. take yo pick
Nathan Ramirez
All you have to do is appreciate the heaven sent luck. You will be paid more and live in a better country. What more would you ask? Nagoya is a bit colourless but still more comfortable and convenient than most western cities.
Robert Garcia
>I've heard that it is really easy for an American to get a girlfriend over there
that might be why the guy's sweat death by heart attack.
Jonathan James
>live in a better country
Is it though? I've heard that Japanese culture is stifling and oppressive, a swamp in which nothing will grow, which is why it has such a high suicide rate.
Samuel Roberts
Have you lived outside of Japan?
Joshua Evans
>Nagoya, Aichi
You'll spend at least $40,000 a year in rent for a walk in closet and a sleeping bag.
Jayden James
>high suicide rate we should kill myself cuz we never got shot thats life
Dylan Jenkins
Would you repeat that in Engrish prease?
Cameron Edwards

Matthew Miller
I lived in SF, HK and Hamburg
Liam Williams
I don't get it. Referring to where he is from has nothing to do with this subject. Prove us your remark isn't based on hearsay and bs Japanese media has told you.
Ryder Jackson
Living in Japan as a tall westerner is not very fun
Samuel Carter
Op here
I'm 6'3'' tall and 250lbs
Evan Sullivan
You will have a bad time. People will stare at you like you are a Kaiju, shopping will be hard, fitting into public spaces (chairs, ceilings, etc) will be tough.
The pay better be worth it.
Anthony Garcia
>The pay better be worth it.
I have no way of determining that. I don't know what my cost of living will be. My salary will be $172k
Xavier Sanders
Ignore this guy. Japanese women will worship you.
Parker Richardson
Hi, can I be your bitch?
Cooper Nguyen
> $172k Jesus Christ. It's god damn high. Any women would spread their beavers to you. Believe me.
Anthony Baker
>$172k gimme the chocolate
Lucas Thomas
what's your career?
that sounds like a fucking steal and you wouldn't even need to live their long.
you're pretty much joining the elite professional expat community IE the club that drinks fine bourbon and excludes filthy english teachers.
Benjamin Cruz
Stop acting like peasants.
Ayden Rogers
sorry we don't like fat person.
Hunter Kelly
What year is this pol of?
Brayden Sanders
Have you ever lived abroad? If not, give it a go. Japan is a nice country to live.
Julian Jones
Is your work routine stipulated in some sort of contract?
They are doubling your salary but probably increasing your workload or some shit too, the extra payment is to lure you into this trap.
This will destroy your physical and mental health, make absolutely sure you won't have to overwork yourself to death before going. Even get a paycut if needed, in order to keep working hours manageable.
Especially being a 250lbs lardass, you'd better not push it.
Jason Thompson
I'm a marketing manager with a background in java development. I have a masters degree.
Christian Price
calm down and go along with the burger
Andrew Edwards
t.netouyo horuhoru
Brandon Jones
I don't know what year exactly but it's pretty recent. One of 7 people living in Chiyoda ward makes $150k a year. You won't be living like a king with $172k, but you can maintain a fancy lifestyle especially when your company pays for accommodation.
David Butler
>masters degree are you master of jav?
Evan Ross
Do you have a family to support?
Joseph Fisher
no, marketing
no. I've never been married and I have no children.
Nathaniel Lewis
>marketing ahh ok marketing of jav
Brayden Gomez
Learn Japanese on Duolingo.
Asher Brown
I know. But still, people with income over 15,000,000yen are very small minority among the whole population. Also these are the wealthiest areas of the whole country. Lots of people pay respect to people with such a high income. If you feel ashamed of it, it's your freedom. But that's how things go here actually.
Thomas Gomez
then what is your concern? Living expenses are significantly low in Tokyo when it's compared to other major cities in the US or Europe. You can save lots of money living in Tokyo. You can choose to actively mingle with locals or limit your interaction with American expats only. I know lots of expats living in Japan for years without speaking Japanese at all.
John Martinez

Robert Mitchell
that sounds pretty good.
trying to learn CS independently myself from a life science background, did you get the job with no CS school experience/certs?
Cameron Williams
Don't do it, it's too much of a culture change and you will seriously be depressed every day, especially working in corporate
Alexander Williams
yeah. but with the annual income of 15000k, he can choose who he interacts with. It's bad to be poor in any foreign country.
Andrew Miller
He's an inter-company transferee. Working hours will be pretty much American.
Ryan Jackson
I taught myself computer programming in high school. Worked as a computer programmer to pay my way through college. I graduated without student loan debt.
I hate computer programming. It's boring.
Oliver Scott
I bet you're a nigger or mexican or asian. Companies never give these types of positions to white men these days
Jayden Gomez
How old are you? Adjusting to a foreign culture is a lot easier while you are young. It could be your last chance to actually enjoy living in an exotic country.
Jack Davis
>It's boring job is boring unless you have a god talent
Christian Clark
Kek. How come no one ever told me Japanese anons were so funny.
Leo Nguyen
>Aichi It's a Tokyota prefecture. It's pretty well developed. Go.
Lincoln Brooks
>Companies never give these types of positions to white men these days what the fack poor whity
Parker Hill
>funny we aren't trying to be
David Gomez
>this is a true story
fuck off.
Lincoln Gutierrez
sounds pretty good
Brayden Robinson
you would take the offer if you were him, right?
Brayden Martin
Why so hostile?
Wyatt Reed
>tfw Japs can't shart in the mart due to being stuck in the oppression swamp
Ryan Ross
>fine bourbon confirmed for prole
Caleb Green
>no option to learn nippon on duolingo why do they offer only shit and meme languages on that site?
Christopher Howard
Why wouldn't this be a true story?
Jordan Edwards
They don't have high paying jobs in Europe land
Grayson Flores
Which city in the US are you from?
Liam Barnes
no one knows ask duolingo
Grayson Martin
He's a weaboo and Op is basically getting his life's dream and he's jealous.
Christian Baker
Atlanta, Georgia
Thomas Turner
There isn't nearly enough black people as you're used too.
Wyatt Butler
Help us set up a casino.
Elijah Butler
Yeah wtf is with Japan. What's all this Pachinko shit I saw when I was over there.
Mason Thomas
You're thinking of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Atlanta, Georgia is a different city and I don't believe gambling is allowed there.
Angel Rogers
They are dying. Regulation is getting tighter. The government wants to set up casinos for Olympics. (/ω\)
