2. Cheap accommodation for couple near Yokohama or Tokyo (Travel distance upto 1 hour)
3. Cheap mobile + data + voice plan or should I get a phone from India?
4. Good site/store to get Indian groceries
5. Overall monthly expense for two.
6. What should be the average salary of a 4 year experienced IT Engineer?

Please provide me the information. I would like to know your experiences as well.

If you already have a work visa, you know what you will get paid. If you think you can get a work visa without a job and instead come here to search for that job, you are mistaken.

He probably wants to know if he is being paid fairly. Indian companies have a history of exploiting tech workers. When I worked in IT in Tokyo, we had a few contract employees employed by Tata and they were paid significantly less than market.

If so, I'd advise looking up info on Career Cross.
