Not sure what this has to do with weebery, people who are obsessed with Japanese culture aren't planning on becoming salarymans.
One thing I noticed on the video...
he plans to spend his entire salaryman career at the same company
That is actually something we used to have in America and lost. You remain loyal to the company and you've got a job for life. They're gradually losing it in Japan too what with the rise of Haken (temp workers) but nice to hear it's still possible in some places.
I don't know about Paleo but from experience what a gaijin will experience working white-collar or service industry in Japan is totally different than what the normal Japanese person goes through. There's a lot of youtube channels that give negative experiences, but mostly it's fine. I knew a guy who made tons of money just teaching english thru one of the famous teaching programs but admittedly that's not typical.
The best move for a weeb at the moment, with the current exchange rate, would be to get fully remote job in America/Europe and try to live in Japan with one of the non-employment visas. Even better if you can get a house because the interest rate is like >1% though I'm not sure if it's actually possible get a loan without a job there.
I'd be surprised if you could get a home loan without a job. You can barely sign any contracts without proving your income first.
Homes in the cities are cheaper than in the West but still quite expensive and much smaller than Western houses.
Houses in the countryside are the cheap ones, but you really really need to be involved with the local community, you have to volunteer for all sorts of things or everyone in the town is going to make your life hell.
