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.
