This video reminded me of an interview I did a few years back. There was an interesting robotics startup in Tokyo that I was talking to and they ended up rejecting me because I have an MS and another candidate had a PhD. The job paid $65K with very little equity and very few benefits. A few weeks later I got a job in SF that paid total comp >$250K plus tons of benefits. Japanese engineering compensation is quite poor and the stereotypes about grinding workers into a pulp are absolutely still true.
