  1. ​ @misakamisaka7203 It really depends on your line of work. Most international students who graduated from Japanese universities will have N1. Many students who have studied Japanese or Japan Studies in the former Soviet Union, Mongolia, Taiwan, South Korea, or the UK achieve N2 by the time they graduate. In terms of living in Japan, N2 will be more than enough to get by for daily life. However, if your work requires you to read and write at a professional level, N1 will not be sufficient either. (N1 is about junior/senior high school level fluency for a native speaker.) When you have to read and write business proposals, contracts, manuals, or administrative documents...it's actually not an easy task for native speakers too. Each field has unique technical jargon and qualifications that need to be specifically studied and understood.
