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 offer a housing allowance, but it is only 80k yen a month for the first year and 40k for the second year.
I am 33M, with 6 years of semiconductor industry experience and a Master’s degree. I speak basically no Japanese.
Do you think this is a fair offer or does Japan usually pay more in the semiconductor industry?
Also, at this moment they are not willing to pay international school for my 4 year old, which is a disappointment for me. International school is usually 1-1.5M a year in Nagoya.
If you have any experiences or thoughts, please share.
