I’m a software developer from India, and I’m exploring the possibility of moving to Japan for work.

I’d love to hear from developers who have already made the move or are currently working in Japan.

A few things I’m trying to understand:

• How realistic is it to get a software development job in Japan while applying from India?
• Is Japanese language proficiency necessary, or are English-speaking roles genuinely available?
• Which skills and technologies are currently in demand?
• What salary range can someone with around 3 years of experience realistically expect?
• How difficult is the visa and relocation process?
• Is moving to Japan financially worthwhile after considering taxes, rent, and living expenses?

I’m not looking for a sugar-coated answer. I’d appreciate honest experiences, practical advice, and even reasons why moving to Japan might not be a good decision.

Thanks in advance!
