PayPay hiring for role in Tokyo

Received an inbound request for Principal PM role with PayPay in Tokyo. Has anyone here in India interviewed with PayPay for any roles. Have generally heard Japanese to be very hardworking. They mention you don't need English for your day to day job, but for life outside work English will be of limited use. Also racism is another fear in these Other Asian economies They haven't shared the potential compensation ranges yet . Couldn't find much online too. Having a good life in Bangalore currently working for MNC. Current CTC: 100L+ with 11L YoE Is there a great financial upside with this role? Is it worth considering?? Any recommendations from Grapeviners?

I don't think it's worth moving to Japan unless you are interested in its culture, anime and such. And yes, you absolutely need to learn Japanese. Plus, the work culture there isn't just hardworking, but frankly toxic. I certainly don't recommend it. A more practical answer would be to go there and stay for a month before deciding. Then again, I have come across people saying they really start noticing racism or xenophobia only after 4 or 5 years..

I'd recommend going along for the interview. While it's better to stay here with 100L like everyone's saying, make the decision with more info about the CTC. If it's great, you can work there for a while and then come back

Bhai mat jaaiyo Japan, my friend has been struck for 4 years trying to come back to India. It's very hard and the savings aren't good in the Japanese market as well.

1. Racism is a pretty well-known problem in Japan 2. You can't survive in Japan without knowing Japanese at all Not worth it if you're already getting 100L+ here. If you always wanted to go or move to Japan, then go ahead. I have some friends living in Tokyo, I can give you their contacts if you decide to move.

I disagree with 2. You can survive but you cant live. You wont be able to make much friends except the expats living in tokyo

. It gets pretty lonely after a point if you don’t have friends. English is not pretty common. People wont entertain you much if you dont know Japanese. But quality of life is amazing. Speaking from experience. I lived there for a few months.

I was there for personal reasons actually. I know a bit of Japanese- reading, writing and speaking so it wasnt bad. And I’m a Japanese resident.. so I dont have any issues regarding visa😅 but as far as I have heard, the process very tedious and extremely out dated + expensive. Too much form filling and all in japanese + local govt offices dont know english. It is painfully long and inconvenient.

[Who Is Hiring] [May 🧵]

format: 1. If your company is hiring, let us know if you can provide a referral or can help somehow. Be ready with a fake/temporary Email Id to accept applications/resume, if you want to. 2. If you know any other company hiring: Would be better if you could provide the link to the job or company or its career page, it's ok if you only want to share the name. 3. If you know a stealth or very small startup hiring right now, either share someone's LinkedIn/Twitter profile whom we can reach out to or ask to DM. 4. If you have recently interviewed at a company, try to share a bit about their expectations and interview experience. 5. Recruiters, you know better than most of us, please help, ok ? Wherever possible, try to mention the tech stack and years of experience expected. The idea is to not just give a name, provide as much information you can to keep the thread clean and 'to the point' Happy Hunting/Helping 😃 PS: (not mandatory) anyone who gets a job using this thread needs to give a treat to the person who helped them and post their interview experience on GV 😉
