Comment on Ask HN: Senior dev, no degree – which countries may accept me?

Comments

Japan accepted me with 10 years of working experience and no degree (studies 98% done, no intention to finish). The company that was hiring me applied for my engineer's working visa. I got immediately the three year working visa. I didn't have JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) certificate either.

Apartment, moving (suitcase + backbag), traveling & the rest was handled by me. When pulling from the right strings and being very determined gets you far.

Do you speak conversational japanese? Are you coping with the language?

When I joined I had completed a few courses in open university. It was a start, but would have been much easier, if my level was higher.
