@oralia Ok. Learning the language will take a couple of years I’m afraid :)

@rocketsquirrell There is home leave and moving fees in the relocation package. I’m only limited with around 20 paid holidays in the NL I have 40 days.

@toni123 Ok. Yeah it will be a steep learning curve with the old systems. Yes, I also see the benefits of this opportunity in the long term. I’m thinking of keeping my apartment in NL, just in case it doesn’t work out well.

@toni123 Sounds like you are also in semicon? The fun part is I’m not that familiar with the older systems, coming from ASML Veldhoven we usually deal with the newer upgraded versions. The systems in the customer fabs have been running for years and have a lot of older technology that I also...

@daddylopez1963 I see, usually the job postings are in Japanese, even with companies, such as Micron.

@lifeabundant Gaishi semicon, I googled it, but do they have a careers page?

@lifeabundant Year 3 is 0 yen, unfortunately

@alertandawake Ok good to hear Nagoya is affordable.

@alertandawake Ok. Thanks for putting it into perspective. Salaries seem to be a bit on the low side in Japan.

@ethzz Yeah, my wife lived in Japan before, so she can help with the language. I just don’t want to shock the little one too much. I appreciate the thoughts, maybe I was set too much on international school. It is hard for me to compare the two without any experience in that field.

@toni123 Yes, I’m at ASML. I think it would be difficult to move to another company in semicon or any other company in Nagoya, because my lack of Japanese language skills.

@paleouss Indeed, Kioxia and Micron are not using EUV, but I’m also not in EUV at the moment. I know the rumors, but can’t disclose them here :)

@christianterp23 Ok. Thanks for your opinion. I cannot judge the quality part, I think it depends to which Japanese school I’d have to compare it to.

@robertthebruce No, she is not, but she is able to speak Japanese. Yes, it will be my first job in Japan and I am in The Netherlands now.

Hi all, I’m in the process of deciding to take a job offer in Japan (Nagoya) in the semiconductor industry. The company offered me a base salary of around 8.5M yen and a 1.5M yen bonus, bonus could turn out higher or a bit lower depending on performance. 1.5M is the default bonus. They also...
