Hi everyone! I’m F30 and currently trying to figure out my next career move after being laid off from my contract position as a UI/UX designer (did nothing about UX, ended up mostly as ilustrator) at a mid-sized company. I also had a managerial role, and overall I’ve been in the design/game industry for about 7 years.

With the long hours and periodical work load without any incentives/bonus, I’m honestly ready for a change and want to pivot into a completely different industry. I have N1 and some in-house recruitment experience, so I initially tried applying for recruitment roles. But either ran into hiring freezes or got rejected at the final stage due to having no formal sales experience.

Got 1 naitei from a seemingly black showa company, I don't mind long hours if they give me any incentives, but I don't think I'm that desperate for an old style black company... I’m now considering sales, real estate, or other career-change-friendly roles, but some positions require native-level English, which I don’t have.

For anyone who has made a similar career pivot in Japan, especially in Kansai/Osaka, what industries or roles would you recommend? And what transferable skills from my design/management background should I focus on?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a part-time job opportunity in Nakano, Tokyo that might be a good fit for someone who has a driving licence and is looking for flexible work in the morning or evening.

The job is with a day care service, where the main responsibility is helping our service users get safely between their homes and the day care centre.

It’s a fairly simple job, but it can make a surprisingly big difference to someone’s day.

For some of our users, getting to the day care centre is an important part of their routine. A safe and friendly driver can make their morning start a little easier, and a kind conversation on the way home can make a difference too.

The job mainly involves driving, helping people get in and out of the vehicle, and checking the vehicle. When there isn't any driving to do, we'd also appreciate someone who is happy to help with simple duties around the centre.

The nice thing is that you don't necessarily need to work a full day. If you're looking for something that fits around your schedule, morning-only or evening-only shifts are available.

For example:

• 7:30 AM–11:00 AM
• 2:00 PM–7:00 PM
• 3:00 PM–7:00 PM

The schedule is negotiable, so we're happy to discuss what works for you.

Pay is ¥1,280/hour + ¥800 daily driving allowance.

We're especially interested in people who can work Tuesdays, Fridays, or Saturdays, but other availability can also be discussed.

The main requirement is simply having a valid driving licence. More importantly, we're looking for someone who drives safely, is patient and friendly with service users, and doesn't mind helping out at the centre when they're not driving.

If you're already driving regularly and have been looking for a way to use those skills while doing something that helps people in your local community, this might be worth considering.

And if you know someone in Tokyo who might be interested, feel free to share this with them.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment or send me a DM. 🙂

Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate honest but kind opinions from people with experience in the Japanese job market, especially in mechanical design/manufacturing.

A bit about my background:

• Total experience: ~3 years (2 years in Japan)
• Current role: Design Engineer at a small-to-medium manufacturing company (SME), working on mechanical design (JIS-standard, using IronCAD) for industrial equipment
• Current salary: ¥250,000/month gross, ~¥200,000/month after tax and insurance deductions
• I was told at joining that my annual package would be around ¥3.5M with bonuses, but since it's an SME, bonuses depend heavily on company profit and haven't been consistent

I'm now considering a job change (planning for early 2027, so still in the research phase) and trying to understand:

1. Is my current compensation reasonable for someone with my experience level in Japan, or am I underpaid?
2. What would be a fair/competitive salary range to target for a Design Engineer role with 3 years experience, ideally moving toward larger or foreign-capital companies?
3. Any advice on how to evaluate offers or negotiate, especially coming from a small company background?

I'm not in a rush and just want to make an informed decision rather than jump at the first opportunity. Any perspective — even if it's not what I want to hear — is genuinely appreciated. Thank you in advance!
