I am in Tokyo, working for an SF-based startup, and am making $180K/year. Translated into yen, it's about 2 or 2.5 times the amount I could hope to get locally. Full disclosure: I have no university degree, and am not a guru/superstar/10x engineer. I am intermediate-senior and competent, no more.

Do you mind me asking: Did you get that job through a job board or connections?

Job board, no relationship to anyone at the company … they reached out to me (my resume was available on the job board).

Do you have some specific skill set or lots of experience in a domain the company was looking for?
