Traveling on a J1 visa for people in their 30s

I am a man in my early 30s currently working in Japan.
I have always wanted to work in the U.S. and am considering taking a trainee job on a J1 visa to gain experience.
This program is called the American version of the work-holiday, but what is it really like?
Actually, I had planned to travel to the U.S. in the past but had to give it up because of corona.Since I am in my 30s, I wonder if it would be worth it to go if I could gain some experience, but I am wondering if it would be too subtle as I am a trainee and would not be appreciated much upon my return.
Agents have a strong business component, so they give good advice, but what is the actual situation?
By the way, my current job is IT-related, but it is not a technical job like a programmer.
If any of you have experience with this, I would like to know more about it. Best regards.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

My workplace takes a few J1s every year, but Japanese companies in the U.S. consider J1s to be labor force that can be used for cheap salary.
Even though they are paid cheaply, they work overtime, they are serious, and they are more proper members of society than foreign students, which is a very good deal from the employer's point of view. The employer can hire them cheaply, the J1 agency gets a commission, and the interests of both companies are simply aligned.Depending on your own motivation, I think you can grow and there are great places to work, but just don't work for Japanese companies. At my workplace, the J1 kids are only allowed to do simple office work that a fresh graduate could do. This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I am in my late 20's and came here as a J1. I am currently working for a Japanese-owned company, and I get paid the same level of salary as the Americans in my company. In the end, I think it depends on your skills and effort.
But I have heard that there are companies that try to make you work for a low salary, so I think it is hit or miss.
By the way, if you are thinking of emigrating eventually, you should not do J1, because J1 has a 2 year rule and it is a little difficult to change VISA. So, I think the only way to immigrate from J1 (get a green card) is to marry a US citizen.
I hope this helps !.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

It is less burdensome for employers because they do not have to pay Social Security or Medicare taxes, even if they pay the same level of wages as Americans.

I was involved in arranging the J1 visa program 20 years ago, and
there is still a supply and demand for it.The first priority would be to secure a company that will accept you, not to mention an agent.
If you can do that, the way will naturally open up for you.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Thank you all for your advice.
It was very helpful to hear various opinions. I am a little hesitant about coming to the US at this time because of the high prices ( due to the current high inflation + in my caseand the weak yen ).
But I don't know when inflation will settle down, so it is difficult to make a decision.
The SoCal area seems to have a particularly high cost of living compared to other cities in the US.
I don't expect to earn a high salary with a J1 visa, but it seems that there will be times when the cost of living ( food, rent, transportation, entertainment, etc. ) exceeds my salary ( and I will be in the red every month ). I am thinking that it will be a burden.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

As for the cost of living, of course it all depends on where you live and how you live. Rent is certainly expensive, but you can get by with a shared room or even a studio type place if you choose the right location.
However, traffic jams during commuting are terrible, so it would be better to think about transportation between where you work and where you live, along with rents.
Personally, I think that the cost of food is the same as in Japan, or even cheaper than in Japan, as long as you don't eat out that much.
However, as the commenter says, it will be hard to cover travel expenses and initial living expenses with the current weak yen, unless you have assets denominated in dollars.My personal opinion is that whatever the current situation is, I came to the US because I felt a sense of crisis in Japan today. However, the U.S. is not everything, and other potential destinations such as Australia, Canada, Europe, etc. are also fine !. This text has been translated by auto-translation.

A training level job with no special skills on a J1 visa wouldn't pay more than $1500-$2200 a month.
You won't be able to live in California first.I think it will be a less safe area where rents are cheap, but the noise and music in the neighborhood late at night on weekdays is unmatched compared to Japan. Every weekend is a party with the speakers turned up to maximum volume.
I came here with a vision of an elegant American life, but.... But, I have to say, it's not that easy to live in America.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think my high school study abroad was on a J1 visa. College was F1.
After I started working, there was a J1 visa holder in my company, but he was doing really trivial work. He was doing really trivial work, like filing paperwork that anyone could have done.
It was a black company and it was the company's fault, but he didn't seem to have any motivation or ambition, so it was understandable.
The third person above is amazing, it must have been very hard to make it on a J1 visa, the J1 visa person at my company was lamenting the gap with the H1 visa.This text has been translated by auto-translation.
