I graduated from university in 2020. Ive jumped between multiple jobs between then in finance and fintech, and am at my wits end with my career. I'm not happy where I am, and am even debating a career switch (still finance-related, but different niche).
I have a sizable savings, and no debt obligations. I visited Japan a few years back for a month and fell head over heels in love with it (so much so that my initial two weeks turned into a full month). Ive long debated teaching in the country for a year, and seeing where life takes me. However, I am concerned this will put a wrench in my finance career that won't be fixable.
I'm considering a masters in financial planning, but before then…. is there any harm in Japan for a year? What other variables should I consider?
Im not a stranger to risk and big decisions, but I worry if I do this, I may not ever reach the "high paying" or "upper echelon" career i've always sought in finance.
