If OpenWork snippets [0] are to be believed, sounds like people after a couple of years (5)? are making 7M. People citing entry-level pay as 5M. Managers at 10M JPY. General "salary based on years of service" stuff.
Now... I think in Kyoto that's a pretty decent number! Tech company salaries in Kansai are _so much worse_ than in Kanto when I looked (5 years ago but). But if you're in Tokyo and making that... honestly you are gonna be better off elsewhere.
I have seen worse numbers at other game companies, but hearing 500k+ per head in profit, it's kind of disgusting they don't pay a bit more.

- dchftcs 4y agoTo add insult to injury, I'm guessing the lawyers that help them enforce their IPs are paid better than their top engineers and artists, also because of a disparity in typical outside options. My experience with Japanese people and some anectodes from a friend who worked at Nintendo is that bureaucracy, culture expectations that you shouldn't change jobs at all, and English ability are some of the strong limiting factors for Japanese rank and file employees to achieve high pay. It's a shame as Japan has so many smart people who are both down to earth and innovative.
