How do you respond to the "what was your previous salary?" question for interviews in Japan?
"Well in Japan this is required" or "in Japan we do this" as a way to make you feel forced to answer. I imagine many companies are persistent but I'm sure there's no reason for them to know this besides for them to low-ball you. What's your POV !!! So, how do you go about answering this question? Edit - If you lie then later they will know when they ask for salary pay slip for Tax, and chances to ruin your relationship in the company after joining. OR may be layoff after probation (if applied ) #engineering #software #swe #japan #salary #hike #ai #ml #it #google #indeed #woven #accenture #nomura #apple #nvidia #compensation #smartnews #moneyforward #fujitsu #nec #amazon #mercari #hiringmanager #recruiters #hr #generalaffair
Lol I like the Japanese tinge “house subsidry” - don’t you insult my shitty wok!
They can easily check your prior salary once you joined if you have paid taxes in japan before. Not sure if they can terminate you during probation for not telling the truth about your previous income
This is the dark side of Japan's convenient 'employer handles your taxes' situation. It means the next employer gets to know what your last one paid.
Let me know if you can refer me to some potential opportunity in japan. Can send more details in DM
