Riiiiiight! I see... So, are you the type of person to not want the same or better as someone else in the same situation as you? I find it ridiculous you think it's high hopes, when plenty of other people have succeeded! If you really did have real connections, rather than just a bunch of friends or family that have told you stories here and there, you'd know that in Japan, getting the job without an exchange program from abroad is the hard part. IF you do get a job without an exchange, then you have something VERY valuable that the company want. And btw, this DOES NOT mean that the person was ASKED to come!

I'm fine with you saying that it does happen for foreigners with experience to start out at the bottom of the ladder, but to say this is what you expect is VERY misleading since I've done extensive research in this (I'm somewhat of an engineering student, and at one point, Japan was my target), AND I've spoken to people that have had the experience of getting much higher than 200k PLUS housing (like my dads colleague).
