Has anyone here had experience working in Australia (or as an expat in another developed country) as an actual software developer?
I do enjoy what I do but I'd love to be able to see a different part of the world while I do it.

I would be happy to talk to you about that experience at length. The capsule summary is that I cannot recommend working for a Japanese megacorp as a means of broadening one's horizons unless one has the very specific desire to learn about Japanese megacorps. The work/life balance works out such that -- even if you enjoy software development very, very much -- you will likely have insufficient time/energy/health to see much of Japan in your rather few non-working hours.
