I didn't see a thread on this but I apologize if there was one already. I'm 28 (M) currently living with my parents in the US and right now studying JavaScript. I already know HTML and CSS but I'm wondering if anyone here has specific knowledge of what languages are in-demand amongst Japanese companies. In terms of job experience, I've worked in retail for five years and at a restaurant for one year so I don't have any relevant experience.
I have dual-citizenship for both Japan and the US so moving to Japan should not be an issue.
I am also planning to attend the Boston Career Forum this upcoming November. For those that don't know, it's a large Japanese-English bilingual career fair where companies that are interested in bilingual candidates can interview and hire candidates right on the spot. I'm hoping to get a job there and move back to Japan by the start of next year as a best case scenario. I'm open to any suggestions or advice.
How are your Japanese language skills? Native level?
I would say that I'm in-between business level and native level. I've passed the JLPT N2 but I haven't passed N1 yet. I speak Japanese with my parents at home so I'm comfortable in most social settings.

Continue learning JavaScript and its frameworks (React, Vue.js, Angular) - they are in great demand. You can also try yourself further in Python.

JavaScript will be at the top for a very long time. There are a lot of questions about AI right now. But I don’t think that a robot will ever replace a person in programming. So you can easily learn the language. I recently read about ai in crm benefits, found an article about AI in CRM and there is a lot of specifics there. For now I can say that AI can only help. But at first I myself was already disappointed that such a system appeared in the world. I thought that in half a year there would be no more programmers. Now I already want to learn the next programming language. I'm hoping to get a job there and move back to Japan by the start of next year as a best case scenario. I'm open to any suggestions or advice.
By the way, it’s better to learn React, it’s the most popular. Vue.js is already lagging behind.
