Ruby language invented by a Japanese guy. Pretty smart. But an outlying data point I think.
I agree. Over the top. I often catch myself getting a bit bent out of shape when I see other foreigners belittling Japan and/or Japanese people, yet they stay here taking advantage of the situation year after year. I am all for criticism of Japan and Japanese when it is deserved and when it has some balance. When it doesn’t, I am quick to call it out. And sometimes I am a bit too harsh.Please don’t go taking things personally... the sharpened edges on some posts are just plastic and not metal.
A little over the top? No?
But he is probably 1 out of 100.
Have you spoken with any recruiters?
But as nice as that is, that’s not the limit. If you’re experienced enough to be working as an independent consultant you can make twice as much or more, especially if your expertise is focused around infosec - those guys make what normal software devs make look like pocket change.
if there's even a demand for like Internal auditors or something similar out in Japan?
Most major firms are running those operations out of Singapore now, sending people to Japan when necessary.
Curious though. Does any one know if there's even a demand for like Internal auditors or something similar out in Japan? Reason being I make decent money doing audits out in the US and as part of 1 of the big 4 public accounting firms. Always wanted to do a work abroad thing for fun. But, based on what I can find on like linkedin and stuff, seems like I would take a pay cut or need business level japanese fluency as expected.

Deloitte are currently consolidating their office space in Tokyo. But there will be a lot of extra office capacity for new employees in the coming years.
Without Japanese ability it is difficult to get in...,,

I have friends that ran away from E&Y, wound up at PwC.... the grass was more brown, lol.Hhmm, i figured. I'm actually working for Deloitte right now and thought about doing a transfer. However, the only projects that seem to be available are on clients in the banking/financial services industry. My values align more with tech companies.
If you're a fully bilingual professional with experience, there are actually a fair amount of opportunities if you have a U.S. CPA or equivalent. The domestic market is fairly large but as sudsy mentioned, outsiders are flown in to handle most of the foreign work where English is the norm. It's no longer viable to house and maintain English-only speaking professionals for the fraction of work here.

No they dont.Robert Walters etc skew # to be higher so everyone is like 'fuck I'm poorly paid, better send my resume to Robert Walters'.
Good to know. I have a CPA. However, I've been focused on IT audits dealing with SOX stuff instead of the actual financial audits themselves. I guess the equivalent in Japan is JSOX which I have heard being thrown around here and there. Guess I got to really put in some time to level up my Japanese.
Holy hell, I work as a translator, editor, writer and author at a well-known publishing company and I make like 3.3 m a year. What am I doing wrong? I got a wife and kid here, too.
Why there is no dislike button?I believe one of your hobbies is bending over the table with your pants round your ankles.
Kris Black should negotiate it during the next renewing of his contract.
