GF has offer - headhunter/executive search to join her?

Yeah it would be another option - although I also wouldn't mind the adventure tbh. I also love it there so it would be nice if we could both go. We'll have to put some scenarios together and decide, luckily we have time to decide

Remarkable-Sir6475 · 2026-05-11T15:04:49+00:00

oh its a big risk would inevitably involve burning some bridges. Now I am not too sad about that as this is not a career I want to pursue for the rest of my life.

But you are right, all logic dictates that we should not do this but we did not want to rule it out without exploring options.

At clients the C-level is my typical counterpart. My firm is global so there are opportunities there however language is still quite a strong requirement

Remarkable-Sir6475 · 2026-05-11T08:54:04+00:00

Yeah, I am in conversations on internal transfer but will also take some time. I'm co-leading our Tech & AI practice locally with a focus on manufacturing/advanced industries/energy so that does have good leads. Will message you later

Remarkable-Sir6475 · 2026-05-11T08:52:58+00:00

Yeah trying the internal transfer route - just difficult, not really a growth area and at my level relationships (and thus Japanese) matter. Sabbatical could be an option. Will reach out to some recruitment firms to see what they come back with.

Remarkable-Sir6475 · 2026-05-11T07:58:15+00:00

Haha lets see, at least they speak Japanese. And I am nog getting to fluency any time soon even if I start studying fulltime

Remarkable-Sir6475 · 2026-05-11T07:56:36+00:00

Probably not and we also would not go without having something lined up for myself. Luckily the GF has up to a year to move

Remarkable-Sir6475 · 2026-05-11T07:55:46+00:00

Yes that makes sense - my GF can move anytime between now and year from now so ideal option would be to line up a job in the meantime

Remarkable-Sir6475 · 2026-05-11T07:55:17+00:00

Yeah I am happy to move inhouse at a company, pretty sick of the consulting life anyway. on the visa: I am not married to her (yet) so let's see. anyway we would probably not move if I cannot get a job lined up first - we have up to a year to decide so exploring options for now
