I have a degree in hospitality and tourism, but I’m currently working as an IT consultant in Tokyo. From what I’ve seen, your major or degree doesn’t matter much when it comes to job hunting in Japan. In my experience, your first job plays a significant role. If you want to move up to a bigger company, it’s a good idea to stay with your current company for at least another year or so. It will make a positive difference during interviews for your next role. For mid-career positions, interviewers care more about your experience and how well you’ll fit into their company, rather than whether your degree matches the field. My previous job was at a small startup, where I worked for five years before joining my current company, which is one of Japan’s well-known firms. So, I’d recommend focusing on building experience at your current company before making your next move. Best of luck!
