I’ve gotten a first interview with Rakuten for a Project Manager role (Global IT Strategy Office) – as a non-Japanese speaker, it’s currently a toss-up between this or a recruitment job offering 4.5M base.
I’ve seen the horror stories from Rakuten all over Reddit, but just wanted to get an updated view from any boots on the ground – is it still the same fraças that we have long heard about?
In terms of salary, they’ve asked me to provide my previous salary figures. I was making 14M JPY gross in Europe, but i know that this just won’t be matched for someone with 6YoE, so if anyone has any idea what rank and salary level someone with my tenure would go into at Rakuten that would be much appreciated!
Furthermore, what is the company culture at mid-level project management? Most of the posts I’ve see are from SWEs and fresh grads so if anyone could speak to this, thanks in advance!
