European freelance SWE here. I worked in Japan in your field for a number of years in the past decade. Your idea is utterly crazy. You are making 170K EUR in a low cost european locale=you are in a great position, especially in the current market conditions. Japan is like no.26 on the list of best-paying countries for IT skills. Meaning: Japan does NOT pay. Your expectations are simply unrealistic (and let's not get started on the value of JPY, which is at its lowest in decades), and you will need to be prepeared to take a MASSIVE pay cut. The fact that you are considering moving there with your family without doing the necessary due diligence is worrying, as it adds a whole extra layer of complexity that is not to be underestimated. Japan is welcoming to visitors. It is NOT welcoming to foreigners who come to stay. Japanese companies are also something else, and if you don't have experience with them, I would certainly not jump head-first. In short: as others have said, if you are interested in the "cultural aspects", travel there, do your freelance work remotely from there, but for the love of all that is good, don't move there with your wife and kids BEFORE you have tested out the waters exentisively. You will thank me later.

Software engineer with 20+ years of industry experience, mostly focused on the backend, with a specialization on fintech / capital markets / derivatives technology and distributed systems. I have worked for some of the top investment banks and trading systems vendors in Europe and Asia, handling duties ranging from architecture, design, project management, to delivery and ops.

Lately I have been successfully working with start-ups in the US (references available on request) and am interested in expanding my collaboration with this type of client globally.

I offer impartial, state-of-the-art software / solution architecture / audit services for your existing or planned systems, and can be as hands-on as you need me to be. I have a no-nonsense, less-is-more approach, have enough battle scars not to chase hypes or over-engineer, and am interested in building systems that run like clockwork long after I'm gone.

My working style is decidedly collaborative and friendly, but you can count on me to take the lead, stay on topic, present the trade-offs in clear language when a call needs to be made, and deliver on time and on budget.

Do you have an ongoing or planned project that you could use assistance with?

Then please do get in touch today for a free initial consultation call.
