I got a naitei and I'd like to hear some opinions on whether it's worth taking up this offer or if I should keep looking.

Background: 3rd year undergrad at reputable public university, non-STEM major but I've been programming as a hobby on the side.

Job details: SWE at medium sized company in Tokyo, no work experience or STEM degree required but they do expect you to know enough to pass a couple rounds of technical questions, 5 days in office. Monthly salary works out to 330k pre-tax, NO BONUS, plus monthly housing allowance of 30k but you need to live within a 3km radius from the office and it's located in an expensive area.

Mainly concerned about the lack of bonus, plus I heard under 5M for entry level tech jobs is generally considered a low salary. Is it worth trying to negotiate, maybe?
