u/Subject-Loquat-978

I (24F) want to move to Japan in 2027, if possible, for 6-12 months. I have the JLPT N4 and pursuing N3.
I have 4 years of work experience in social media and brand marketing

Any advice of what type of jobs to take up? I dont mind odd jobs or arubaito/part time either, but will i be eligible? Or idm English teaching jobs either, but considering my first language isnt english and I dont have a degree in language/lit, will it be a problem?

Edit:
I’m from India, and an Indian passport currently doesn’t have Japanese working holiday Visa. Is it possible to get a employment visa for Eikaiwa?

I (F24) started my own clothing brand when i was 20 and fresh out of college, because of the fear of the restrictions of a 9-5 (both my moms and dads side of the family has a business background for generations- growing up, i saw my dad be able to take leaves for 15 days without issues while i heard about my friends not being able to go on longer vacations simply due to their parents’ jobs and leave approvals.)

That (the clothing brand) did not work out, i infact lost money which i am yet to repay to my father. I realised i know nothing about marketing, and joined a marketing agency as a social media manager. From there i jumped to a sister company in read estate for brand marketing, which was the most toxic job of my life - not a single leave, no WFHs, bad hours, boss who used to cuss during meetings, no constructive feedback, no approvals, no training (no guidance from any senior as there were no seniors in my dept, i was the only person, winging it). I got a good raise there but it took a toll on my mental health and I quit that job.

I felt sooooo goooood and the one month after i quit was amazing. However, Now i need to get back to earning because, well, bills. Initially i had planned to take a 2 month break, travel etc and then get back to another job with better work culture. But now, after tasting freedom for a month, I was not sure.

I have the option of teaching Japanese (I used to teach when I was in college, side hustle, paid well and I enjoy it, and Japanese is a high demand language among indian engineers), but it will only work out well IF i can get enough students for 3-4 batches (5 students per batch).

Japanese Teaching Pros:
10 hour work week (including class prep)
Lots if TIME for more side hustle and also hobbies!
3 batches - I earn same as my last job
4 batches - i earn more than my last job

Japanese Teaching Cons:
Getting 20-25 students consistently!
(thinking of running meta leadgen ads but scared)

New Job Pros:
Fixed monthly income
Security

New job Cons:
No time to myself for hobbies, reading, any other side hustle or business

Any advice? What should I do?

TLDR: I quit my marketing job, got a taste of freedom within a month, skeptical whether I should get back to the security of a job but no time to myself, or take a leap of faith and start with freelance and/or language classes?
