I am a btech cse fresher, I got offer from TCS digital 6Lpa and I have an offer from Japanese company of 3M pa I know Japanese offer is best but will it be enough to have a proper life in japan without struggling, My location is in Tochigi which is fairly cheaper than urban Japan.

I got my International Driving Permit from the RTO (Parivahan), but it’s a single printed paper sheet, not a booklet. I’m planning to travel to Japan, and I’m not sure if this type of IDP is valid there.

Has anyone used a paper-type IDP from an Indian RTO in Japan? Did rental companies accept it? or do they even accept indian license for travellers ?

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!

Has any Indian ever got selected in Oist internship in Japan?
