He mentioned he is a fresh graduate this year and almost certainly from a third world country. Japan is known to pay little for these 3rd world labour.

Am surprised Japan even want him given he is a fresh graduate with nothing to show and likely dunno japanese.

The 188k yen per month is after taxes leh, so before taxes is 200+k or bout 2k sgd a month.

High enough liao loh given japanese born fresh graduate also around 200k+ salary

Plus he is applying for a job in osaka and osaka pay is lower then similar jobs in Tokyo.

There’s reasons why companies outsource their tech work to that particular country and if their people comes out and work in another country, why should companies be willing to give them a job if they are asking for similar pay as the locals?

Only 1 kumgong country open it’s floodgate and let these people in, paying them good money and give them jobs while locals do PHV and food delivery. :)
