I also have not seen many vacancies advertised at that level. But I suspect there are roles for people with the right experience. The roles are getting filled by recruiters approaching already employed people.

My guess is a very experienced developer that speak English and Japanese can get base salaries above ¥10m at FAANG in Tokyo. So probably ¥15m with bonus and RSUs is obtainable.

Whether or not you speak Japanese is not a factor in getting a job at FAANG in Tokyo. Also, your guess is off by half, at least.

In which direction?

@iamben at current GBPJPY exchange rate of 138, ¥15m total comp would be nearing £110k.

I am out of touch of FAANG senior dev salaries are in London now. Does that sound on par?
