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?
>>
Don't do it. Unless you're a weaboo you probably won't like living in Japan.
>>
At least make your story slightly believable.

>>74282873

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.

go to shinjuku. waves american passport in air. see a line of girls form in front of you. take yo pick
>>
>>74282873
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.
>>

>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.
>>
>>74283399
>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.
>>
>>74283399
Have you lived outside of Japan?
>>
>>74282873
>Nagoya, Aichi

You'll spend at least $40,000 a year in rent for a walk in closet and a sleeping bag.

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.
>>
>>74283939
>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
>>
>>74283939
Ignore this guy. Japanese women will worship you.
>>
>>74282873
Hi, can I be your bitch?

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.

Have you ever lived abroad?
If not, give it a go.
Japan is a nice country to live.
>>
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.

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.

Learn Japanese on Duolingo.

>>74284192
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.
>>
>>74284231
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.

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?

Don't do it, it's too much of a culture change and you will seriously be depressed every day, especially working in corporate

>>74284283
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.

I hate computer programming. It's boring.

I bet you're a nigger or mexican or asian. Companies never give these types of positions to white men these days
>>
>>74284350
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.

>It's boring
job is boring unless you have a god talent

If I were you I would leave asap and never go back to the USA again.
A country without niggers or most of the degenerate western culture.

Only thing as others said are the working hours.
