I worked for 3 years as a programmer for
an American investment bank in Tokyo. Best decision of my life.
After the first 6 months, dozens of tech opportunities opened up. You can move
companies or countries, and get a fantastic
"Expat package" which will compensate you
beyond your wildest dreams.
Every US Fortune 500 company has a presence
in Asia.
They are begging for technical talent over there!
Americans bring a kind of skill that Asian-based
companies really value.
