He is living the dream :)
But a better question would be how was he able to live every nerd's wet dream? Japan does not seem to be making huge strides in AI at the moment so even if you are able to find a dev job in Japan it seems unlikely that it would involve robotics.
- mikekchar 10y agoIf you speak Japanese, there are huge numbers of companies doing robotics in Japan. All the big names. I bumped into someone on the Shinkansen the other day working for Hitachi and doing robotics. Of course it is robotics for manufacturing... In Tokyo and Osaka, my understanding is that many IT jobs are in English. Japan is also probably one of the easiest countries in the world for IT/engineering workers to get a visa: have a degree and a job offer and you are set. I don't know how many robotics jobs are English, though (the guy I was talking to was Japanese and didn't speak English). I think it's probably a lot easier to find a job like that than you think. The reality is, though, that the salary (especially if you actually want to live in Tokyo rather than Chiba, etc) will likely be shockingly low compared to US salaries. I think senior devs are going for the equivalent of around $80K these days. Possibly you can make up some of that with bonuses, though. I don't work for a Japanese company (and I'm not in Tokyo), so I don't know the details.
