I'm a full stack dev at a mid-sized Japanese company. I've been in the company for 7 years now and it's still my first company ever since I graduated from a senmon gakkou here. Not only both back end and front end, since our department, which consists of only 8 people, has no designer, I'm also doing UX (usability testing) and UI design using Figma which I learned on my own and introduced to our pipeline.

My current salary is just 4.1 million Yen a year after working for 7 years. The boss is very kind and understanding, it's 7.5 hours a day and there's barely any overtime, and it's full remote which are why I wasn't keen to leave right away but with prices soaring and my salary barely getting higher, I started worrying and doubting. Agents always tell me around 5m-6m is a realistic expectation especially for someone with no managerial experience (since I mostly worked as a coder and a designer, not really in a leadership role) but I'm hearing differently online.

In the Philippines, majority of Spanish words we use lack yeismo, so we pronounce ll as ly even for names of people like Villegas will be vilyegas and martillo will be martilyo. I plan to study Spanish but yeismo just feels wrong for me because of my upbringing as a Filipino. I’ve heard the lack of yeismo is only spoken by old people in Spain.
