M&A strategy jobs
Dear all,
I have landed an M&A strategy consulting job in February this year at one of the Big 4 in Japan.
Whilst I am genuinely enjoying the contents of the projects (commercial due diligence, PMI, M&A process improvement etc.), I find working with Japanese people quite stressful at times.
Please bear in mind that this is nothing personal against Japanese people and I am one of them in fact. It is just that I spent 10 years outside Japan.
I am not currently looking for a new job but I would like to ask you for an advice to transfer to a similar job outside of Japan.
Cheers,
Yasu
Nothing to add but just out of interest what do you not like about working with Japanese people...Imagine the work culture there is intense!
Note: the above doesnt apply to everyone so please dont take this as a general perception of all Japanese people.
Since you work in a big 4, why don't you ask for internal transfer?
Otherwise, you can work in the M&A department of a big industrial company, It will probably be less stressful than in a big 4 firm.
I am asking for internal transfer but since I am still an associate and have just joined the firm, it would take a little longer. They have actually asked me to work in Myanmar for 6 months but I turned it down...
Why not consider a role in Corporate Development at an acquisitive firm? An individual in Corporate Development can spend time on M&A, Strategic partnerships, Strategy, Balance Sheet, Treasury, etc.
