I feel your pain. I have enough exposure to the language to perform daily communication, but yet most recruiter I talked to said I need more than what I have from a language perspective. Experieince wise, 12 years in IT with 5 of those years being in a management position
Oh well, my fiancee won't be able to find a job anyways so we kind gave up that dream but to maybe one day retire in Japan instead and open like a small corner store cofee store instead
