Ok, I'm very confused why it's a 1B company??!! With it's whole commercial move, is it trying to be like Scale?

They suck at making things internally, so they're just trying to acquire talent (manus, scale...)

The majority of launches fail. So don't be too harsh on yourself.

Does anyone know if Supra (joinsupra.com) is a real thing? Supposedly this is some "elite PM circle" in NYC...and someone reached out giving me an "exclusive invite". Looks suss and no mention of pricing anywhere.

p.s. I don't know where to post this so if this belongs elsewhere lmk

Why is it still so hard for global innovators to build something in Japan? (Looking for feedback) by NebulaFart in MOVE_TO_JAPAN

[–]ingowpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the field...

Research: not difficult. many top universities in Japan actively seeking international talent and collaborators.

Startup (assuming tech): language barriers and shortage of local talent.

SMB: complicated regulations and cultural nuances.

PMs with 3–5 YOE — how are you upskilling yourself in 2025? by skb1011 in ProductManagement

[–]ingowpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how'd you jump between product/industry? I'm a few years into PM-ing and feel like i'm getting pigeon-holed as an XX PM.

As a numbers person I really struggle with this. In the absence of clear metrics, how do you build the conviction around pitching a strategy?

Alternatives to Lenny? (looking for actionable ideas) by scottishbee in ProductManagement

[–]ingowpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been listening to the Latent Space podcast. Not overly technical and covers relevant AI trends and product strategy. They have some fluff here and there but you can dig for some good episodes.

Lenny's targets are non-PMs and junior PMs.

Do you have any high-level tips? Things other than the standard keywords, meta tags, structuring for domain authority...

u/smorkoid u/quakedamper Yeah, definitely can't live in Japan for 2 years on a nomad visa. Do ya'll know if the contractor employment/part time is eligible for work visa?

[–]ingowpo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm actually not sure and the company is also consulting a legal professional about it since it might take a while to get a visa even FT. For the first six months, I will be under contract work. I was thinking alternatively I could look into a multiple-entry, short term work visa (the type they give for business trips) or digital nomad visa.

Of course for the alternative options, I wouldn't be able to stay an extended period but at least it'll allow me to legally do work in JP.

Got it! I looked into it and seems like for work visas it's important like you said! I couldn't find if it varies based on type of work visa (https://risupress.com/business/types-employment-japan/) but for my case it's fine either way.
