Somewhat agree with MMM on this. But for people in the IT field, you really have to be that much better than everyone else to get a job. The competition is very very tough in that area. I do know quite a few IT guys there, but they are not there because the locals are not as qualified, just that they have need for IT people fluent in English.
I had a few calls in the past from several Japanse company, they just dont' see the value in sponsoring me to go to Japan. My profile is not weak (at least I don't think it is, seeing that the best time was getting 4 offers in one month), but they just have enough locals to do what I am capable of doing, and they didn't need the language skills....
