I’m looking to get out of teaching, mostly because the pay is just absolutely terrible. One of the options I’ve come across is Apex KK. The last thread I saw on them was from 2019 and I know a lot of stuff has changed since the pandemic and I have recently learned glass-door is not a realistic reflection of companies because of Japanese laws. In the states, I have worked in Tech sales and was an SDR so I’m familiar with the concept of working with metrics and such, but I also know sometimes unrealistic metrics are really common in certain industries. I just want honest good and bad about the job if you know.
Now I’ve seen this job add ALOT, which means high turnover, which is a red flag for me. I’ve already worked for one black company and I’m not looking to work for another.

It’s a boring as fuck job where you have a list of keywords and you search recruitment/resume websites to try to match those keywords up with someone else. Imagine doing a google search 8 hours a day 5 days a week broken up by the occasional form e-mail to someone who looks like they might meet the requirements and an interview to make sure they have the qualifications before you introduce them to the client.
It’s a soul sucking repetitive job trying to play matchmaker between clients and candidates where you’re mostly just trying to make your commission so you get a decent review and get paid.
I’ve heard – I do know I hate dealing with the “let us help you find the right candidate” people who get in touch because I have manager in my job title…
If you have some experience into Tech sales why don’t you try to find a tech related job ? There is plenty of non-technical IT job where you can get a great career and good salaries (for Japan standards of course)
