Hey everyone,
I’m a 30M currently working in Canada as a commercial P&C underwriter in the insurance industry with about 5 years of experience. I’ve visited Japan several times over the past few years and have really been considering making the move long-term.
Right now, I’m exploring options to either continue working in the insurance industry in Japan or possibly transition into another field where my skills might transfer well. I’ve started studying Japanese and hope to reach around N3/N2 level within the next couple of years.
I’m curious if anyone here has made a similar move, especially those coming from the insurance or finance side of things. How was your experience finding work, navigating visa options, and adjusting to the professional culture there?
Any advice, personal experiences, or tips on where to start would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
