Determinants of Salary

The annual salary of a foreign engineer is part of the assessment, not only of their skill sets and experiences, but also of their English and Japanese proficiency, as well as their intercultural communication skills. The higher these factors, the higher your annual income will be.

Future prospects

In Japan, the shortage of human resources, especially in the IT field, is a problem, and the demand for foreign engineers is increasing. These trends indicate that the annual income of foreign engineers may continue to rise.

Companies’ efforts to attract foreign engineers

Japanese companies are taking various initiatives to provide foreign engineers with attractive ways of working. This includes a competitive salary structure, training programs to help you acquire professional skills, career development opportunities, and a good working environment.

However, there’s a good chance they will get very high salary offers from companies in other countries for best engineers, so raising their salary level is key.

Thus, the annual income of new foreign engineering graduates working for Japanese companies is affected by a variety of factors. With the increasing globalization of the technology sector, the role of foreign engineers and their salaries will continue to be an important issue.
