My background as follows: 26, with a CPA license in my own country, and experience within the banking industry. Been studying Japanese on the side for years now.
My question is, is it career suicide for me to leave this job and go to Japan as a language school student? Or should it be better just to learn language on the side.

I took some time off work and it significantly slowed/changed my career. It’s not suicide, but if you don’t stay in your industry then it’ll definitely set you back.
It is possible to work part time on a student visa (up to 28 hours a week), so if you can do part time work in accounting remote, then that could be an option.
Ultimately it’s a big commitment to learn a new language and culture. I’m currently generally really happy with my decision, but I can’t say it’s been easy or stress free. I thought I was done with struggling to job hunt, but my recent job hunt was just as hell ish as it was straight out of university.
