Hi all,
I've come to you with another volume of Career Questions in Japan ™.
For context, I'm currently in the middle of a career pivot (from CG to accounting, currently enrolled in program).
I mentioned it in a previous thread, but I'm pivoting to accounting in the interim to more easily pivot to corporate/business industries, to potentially pivot into different roles down the line. An example was gaining certs and exp to pivot into data analysis.
I originally didn't want to work backwards from figuring out what roles are accessible in Japan (after all, who makes life decisions based on a country they've never worked in?) but… My home country is getting more and more expensive and I'm mentally framing it more as "what roles allow me to easily work internationally?"
Which comes to the question that I wanted to ask: are there any business roles with relatively fewer barriers of entry? I'm sure there will always be factors like language ability, why me over a national, etc but I imagine some roles (like accounting) make less sense than potentially others for hiring foreigners. As I'm starting fresh in a new industry, I want to aim for a career path that allows me the flexibility of leaving to different countries if need be. As Japan is relatively high up on places where I'd like to relocate, is anyone familiar with the business/finance sector, and if any roles are more accepting of foreigners?
Thank you!
