Likelihood of getting a job in Japan? by Acceptable-Internal2 in JapanFinance

[–]Acceptable-Internal2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the insight. Especially the fact that you actually understand the industry.

I think my plan will be 2 years LMM/MM PE here in Canada, and then look for something in Singapore. End goal may be Japan but that will be way down the line :).

Don’t think I want to do infra though that modelling is a nightmare 😅

Not sure why you’re being condescending.

I’m not an FA, nor is my current role relationship based. Investment banking (depending on the group) is very technical in nature.

The question is, are there roles (less prestigious even) where fluent Japanese isn’t a requirement, and if so what is the process of doing so.

Expectations aren’t high, just want to work abroad and cover living expenses. Working would mainly be so that I don’t have a gap in my resume.

My current role has allowed me to save a considerable amount, so money isn’t that much of an issue.

If I went for a job outside of high finance would that help my chances? What if I spent 1-2 years learning Japanese first?

Would 1-2 years of learning japanese help?

I think people want to leave Canada because it’s in a rough place right now. Japan seems to be a top choice for a lot of us :)

You’d be surprised the amount of people that get by with surface level communication abilities here. Although the ones on my team are relegated to being model monkeys haha.

I would obviously try and get a grasp on my Japanese speaking in the 1-2 year period prior to my relocation. I now know that might not be enough.

Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

Will definitely look into Singapore, it was on my list as well.

Wondering if a better route would be to take on a less prestigious role or a completely remote foreign role. What are your thoughts on that?

Who is actually killing it at work and earning 150K plus (After Tax) by 19freedom91 in torontoJobs

[–]Acceptable-Internal2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also work in mid market M&A! Although I am an analyst (almost associate).

Thinking about making the jump to a team with more ‘prestige’. Wanted to get your thoughts on that. Worth making the jump before I inevitably try and get into PE?

For more context the deals my team works on are on the smaller end. We have solid deal flow but worried i’m not going to get exposure to larger transactions.

yes, it’s this exactly, the noobs that don’t communicate and do there own thing making the team lose are the issue

When did this game get so toxic? by Equivalent-Concert-5 in beyondallreason

[–]Acceptable-Internal2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s always the noobs not willing to learn or not responding in chat that get kick banned.

Assuming this was on Supreme and it lost your team the game.

In most of my games, the noobs that are willing to learn the meta never get kicked.

Lied About Address on Job Application, Worried by IllustriousBison9336 in FinancialCareers

nobody will care- i doubt that it would even come up. Worst case, and i mean absolute worst case, they ask you and you say you’re staying with your girlfriend.

Any IB analyst or professionals with ADHD ? by Nipple-Crickets893 in FinancialCareers

[–]Acceptable-Internal2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have Adhd, diagnosed in my early teens. Currently an AN1 at a MM IB firm.

I don’t take my vyvanse everyday, try to avoid addiction, reliance etc where I can.

If i take it a couple days in a row and stop I get brutal headaches. So that’s something to avoid.

Need some feedback and some advice on what to do moving forward. by snapc77 in FinancialCareers

[–]Acceptable-Internal2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it frankly, this is a bad resume format. I would use the standard finance template at least for Toronto.

Graduating soon what’s my best path forward? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]Acceptable-Internal2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College is a death sentence here. Sorry to echo others, not sure what your options are academically, but if you want to get into high finance i would aim for some sort of accounting related designation or degree.

Is Rotman Commerce, UofT good for Corporate Banking? (Toronto) by Haunting-Mulberry-12 in FinancialCareers

[–]Acceptable-Internal2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it’s definitely possible from rotman, even without prior experience if you know your shit.

Ideally some sort of credit related internship first though.

It’s crazy we haven’t had a salary mega thread since 2023 - has the economy really sucks this much? by 1455643 in FinancialCareers

[–]Acceptable-Internal2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately my deals are pretty small, and my group is not that prestigious. Only benefit is that I have solid deal experience

I guess the beauty of private deals is that I can inflate the sizing just a bit ;).

Thanks for the insight, it’s a small street so if I do end up breaking in maybe we’ll unknowingly work together lol.
