Just finished my coding round and I sucked. I'm fairly experienced in LLM and client facing, is there still a chance I might get it?

Background is I'm a data engineer -- never through the leetcode hell before. I asked for 3 days for prep and went through most common DSA and dynamic programming.

Long story short I didn't solve it in the interview. The interviewer was late, none-engaging, on his phone the entire time and I had to ask twice to get a response most of the time. Regardless, it was a medium-ish question and I could've solved it once I'm not under pressure.

My questions are:

1. I don't think this really represented me, any chance I can get another chance, or it is what it is?

2. I was following the guide: clarify, thinking out loud. but the interviewer barely had any reactions to my thoughts or questions, he just... didn't care at all. This is a bad sign and my points of making my thoughts heard is pointless? And he called off the interview early without any feedback. I'm not sure if this is normal.

3. For RKK I'm fairly ready. I've personally worked in the exact FDE-like environment and has track records. That said, would there be a shot for me even coding didn't go well?

Sorry for the long question.

So I've been hanging out in Tokyo since late April and am about to head to Taiwan to reset the clock at the end of my 90 day tourist visa! (I'm a US citizen.)

While I was chilling these past few months, I decided to make the full time move here and ended up getting a job offer. The start date was set to October 1 in order time to allow processing of the COE.

I looked into it and it appeared that there was no issue with me being in Japan as a tourist while my COE was being processed, nor was there any issue with me leaving once for Taiwan and coming back while the processing was still ongoing. I booked my flight home to the US in mid-September and planned to get my work visa stamped in my passport then, returning in time for the job start date.

However, my COE was approved in a freakishly short 10 days!!!

Does anyone know if I'll have trouble trying to come back in as a tourist after my Taiwan trip, given that my COE is approved already?

Hello. I graduated from university back in my country in January 2022. I have a total of 1 year of experience as a developer and 1 year of experience as a sales specialist. I really want to find a software job before March 2027, when I will graduate from a Japanese language school. What are the chances of finding a software job in Japan? I just took the JLPT N2 test in July. If I fail it, I will take it in December, and I will definitely pass it. And I've been really conflicted about whether to learn Go or Java. I already know some React. Which stack will give me the best chance of getting a job?

Hello, I'm a med grad from the Philippines, (haven't taken licensure exam yet) and now thinking of working in japan.

Do you guys have any suggestion for jobs?

I've visited Japan several times and absolutely love the country. I understand that living there is very different from traveling, but I've thought about it seriously and believe I'm prepared for that challenge.

My long-term goal is to live and settle down in Japan, and I'm trying to figure out the best path to get there.

I'm considering two options:
1. Graduate, move to Japan, attend a vocational school, and then look for a job as a new graduate with little or no work experience.

2. Work in my home country for 2–3 years, then move to Japan, attend a vocational school, and search for a job with some professional experience.

I know there's also the option of staying in my home country while applying directly to jobs in Japan, but from what I've seen, these guys hiring from overseas seem to want 10+ years of experience and I genuinely cannot live here this long.

TLDR: Is it better to try to enter Japan as a new graduate, or would having 2–3 years of experience make a meaningful difference, assuming I attend a vocational school either way?

Also I know any sane person would say "you should have some experience" but I've seen that being a new grad also helps sometimes in getting hired.

Would still be considered a "new grad" for option 2;
that is working in my country then attending the vocational school then finding a job
