I would go for Kyoto, since I know that's where you wanted to live before.

but yes, moving is stressful! Wait til mercury retrograde is over to worry too much.

[adania]

And when would that be? Not before Tuesday, i suppose...

[starofpersia]

you can accept their offer if you must, but don't worry too much about moving for another few weeks.

I think you should go to Kyoto. SF will still be there in another few months or a year, and it sounds like a better job in Japan, and either Japan job seems liklier to make yu happy than option three.

i'd say go for the nintendo gig, if only because it sounds liek there's optiosn for 1) experince translating in america, so if you hate it there's room/board to fall back on and 2) conections and contacts with people who, err, well, are making money hand over fist and sort of need translators.
barring that kyoto

i'd say sataying where you are at sounds a whole lot like what's going on at my work, where i'd have long since fled had they not been intuitivly in tune with the magic 'i quit if i'm nto making x amount' number in my head.

in short, reach for the sky. the wrost that happens is you wind up on the ground wher eyou're at right now.

also. social life is overrated.

Well, with the nintendo thing, i haven't even applied for that job yet, and i don't know that i am what they are looking for anyway. So it's more just a question of going to Seattle and seeing what is there for me (other than a room and food).

[theliel]

ahh, you can't apply from japan?
sadness.

[adania]

Heh, well i could apply (i was actually in the process of revising my resume for non-education jobs when this stuff went down), but if they did like my resume and want an interview, i'm not really in a convenient place, unless they'd let me interview in Kyoto (where the HQ is).

I'd say Kyoto... you really wanted to go there last year, but couldn't... And the other job sounds like it would be an EXTREME PITA with all the merging and cutting of positions and what have you.

ANd if not Kyoto, then maybe go back to the States and do something... but most of your entries seem to indicate that you aren't done with Japan yet!

Esther: accept a job offer in Kyoto one of these days :) I will go to SF for you, and you can tell me where to play on your behalf. ;)
