Hello everyone, I am currently on the JET program, while the pay is good the placement I am in is really just not for me... I will not be recontracting for a second year because of it. That really saddens me because I was given a 3 year visa and I am just bailing out after 1 year... I want to stay here longer but am not sure how I can. I would like to re-locate prefectures and I have been spamming gaijinpot on the daily for english teachings jobs since that is probably all I can do since I am on the instructor visa. Has anyone else been in a similar situation to this? What did you do?

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask about the realistic chances of getting hired for expert roles over generalist roles. Currently, I have been blessed to work on 3 projects with Mercor that have all been a good experience. They were all generalist roles but I wanted to know how can I land an expert role. I do not have that much experience in anything honestly which I know is definitely a set back. Me being only 24, I do not have the 3+ years experience Mercor wants for most of these expert roles. Is the best thing to do just work and wait until I get enough experience to apply to things? or should I just stick to generalist roles only.
