Hey all! Completely new to the forum and I’m glad I found this. I’ll try to keep this short, but I was wondering what the landscape was out in Tokyo right now. I’m in the U.S now, but am planning on moving back to Japan within the next few years. No dev experience but am planning on learning, whether it’s a bootcamp or college or even self- taught out here.
My plan is to get the initial training and then get into any kind of junior role and go from there. Any languages/stacks that are more common out in Tokyo? I’m thinking about getting into Javascript first but I know many of you are Rubyists.
As for me, I grew up in Japan and wife is Japanese. My Japanese is at a native level, so I’m hoping my programming ability doesn’t have to be a slam dunk in a few years.
Any help would be extremely appreciated, I really want this career change but wife is also wanting to go home! I don’t want to jump the gun without getting a feel for the landscape there.
