Tokyo – Salary Expectations

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about moving to Tokyo with my family.

I have been accepted (but the salary has not yet been agreed) for a senior C++ role for a well-known Japanese company. The move would be very appealing to me, especially from a cultural point of view. I have a Masters Degree and over 12 years of professional development experience. At home, in Europe, with a very low cost of living, I have an income of about 170.000€ per year as a self-employed developer.

I have two children, but they would have to go to an international school. I did some research: for both of them, that’s about 4 million YEN (approx. 24,000€) a year.

I’m thinking about asking for 20 million YEN.

What do you think?
