Working part time next to study in Tokyo

3 points by w8w00rd ↗ HN
I only have classes for 24 hours a week at most at the moment and still have 4 months left in Tokyo, does anyone have experience in working part-time in Japan, where would you get a job in development in Japan? my visa is not an issue as long as work + study is not over 50 hours a week total.

How good is your Japanese? Wantedly is commonly used for hiring, you could check on there and ask companies you are interested in. Besides that, I heard from a few people that found part time gigs through tech meetups that happen pretty often.

Since you are only staying 4 months, I think your best bet is through people you know either locally or remotely. Finding a completely new company that is hiring you short term and part time might be a bit hard to find.
