I was thinking about my future if I eventually get MEXT's scholarship.
I know I could end up not liking Japan as a place to live and returning home, is impossible to plan ahead so much lol
But at least I wanted to have an outlook on the posibilities.
So...
Does anyone now how are the chances of getting a job in a japanese company after graduating with a Master's degree? Specially in engineering.
Of course, I need to be able to speak japanese. That's out of the question.
But in general, are Japanese companies willing to hire you? Are the companies in contact with research labs?
Also, Is the university's name very important? For example, I think Tohoku university offers some interesting posibilities in my research field. But thinking in the future it may be wiser to chose Todai as the first choice.
By the way, I've found some comments on this topic in reddit:
Did anyone here take the MEXT schoalrship? : japan
"If you want to live and perhaps work in Japan in the future, it can be the bridge towards getting employment in Japan. I'd say about half of the MEXT students I knew either got normal jobs at corporations in Japan after graduating with an M.A. or PhD, or dropped out of PhD programs when they found job opportunities."
That sounds promising, but it's just one comment. It would be nice to hear the opinion of those of you who are already in Japan.
Thank you for all your help!
