Should I Move to Japan for the Same Salary or Stay in the Philippines?

Post Body

I'm a Filipino working in the tech industry. My company has given me the option to either move to Japan or stay in the Philippines, but my salary will remain the same (that’s why it’s optional). I currently earn around 250k pesos per month (approximately 670k JPY).

In the Philippines, I have more take-home pay and can live very comfortably. However, in Japan, I might have to live in a smaller house and will have less take-home pay due to higher taxes, rent, and utilities. Despite this, the quality of life in Japan is generally considered better than in the Philippines, probably.

I'm weighing the pros and cons of both options and would appreciate any advice or insights. Has anyone faced a similar decision? What factors should I consider in making my choice?
