Taking the exchange rate at face value could definitely be rough depending on where you live.

That being said, the salary is just a guideline based on Japan and the cost of living here. We do currently take that into consideration and pay an adjusted salary amount in local currencies for members of the team who live abroad.

We are pretty flexible and for the right person we can definitely work something out.
