Hello ! Question for consultants in Japan: I’m considering a move to Tokyo for some personal reasons in the next 2 yrs. what’s the level of Japanese proficiency I should aim for - if I try to make a lateral move?

People can get away with speaking very little. However as with anything, the more you can speak the better

Would you say that even when applying for jobs in consulting this is the case - I don’t need Japanese n1 or some other level to be considered?

@C1 do you have any recommendations for recruiters/agencies?

Hi, same here. It seems to me that transferring to Japan without proper Japanese skills is quite difficult. Would highly appreciate anyone’s stories and experience.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Is it wise to appreciate both of them via blue points for their support?

I just got a mail saying I have 200 bluepoints to send out appreciations if I feel like.
