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..
No point moving to japan
Yeah racism can be a real prblm in asian countries for indians especially
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.
. 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.
@Yamprofessional could you pls tell a bit more about your experience in Japan, how'd you got a job and work visa?
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.
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
If you’ve 100+ here, better to stick here :)
Valid points, I have a similar vibe!! Thanks
Has anyone been approached by Coupang for Product or Engineering roles? They’re relocating folks to Seoul and recently started a satellite office in India.
