I want to share with you what I truly believe is the best career opportunity in Japan.

From my years of experience working with partners at the Big4 and top strategy firms, I’ve come to appreciate several key factors that determine a remarkable career opportunity. These include industry growth, organizational brand, market demand, promotion speed, timing, and mentoring.

Based on my extensive experience since 2009, particularly within top-tier consulting organizations, I firmly believe that Deloitte Digital Strategy offers the best career opportunity in Japan. Here’s why, based on the aforementioned factors:

Industry Growth

The digital industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, and digital transformation has become essential for modern businesses. The demand for digital strategy consulting is particularly strong in Japan, especially among Japan-headquartered global companies. Deloitte Digital Strategy (DDS) excels in digital transformation for these organizations, positioning itself at the forefront of this booming industry.

Brand Name

A strong brand name is invaluable, lending credibility when dealing with clients and enhancing future career prospects. Deloitte is the second-largest digital agency and the leading brand among the Big4 consulting firms in the digital arena. Even competitors acknowledge Deloitte’s unparalleled reputation for digital consulting in the APAC region. Working for Deloitte opens doors to top-tier organizations in need of digital expertise.

Promotion Speed and Future Marketability

The rapid growth in digital offers tremendous opportunities for career advancement. At Deloitte, your progress is driven by your ability to bring in projects, akin to being an entrepreneur with robust support. There are no ceilings; you determine your promotion speed based on your performance. Furthermore, Deloitte Digital is highly sought after by Fortune 500 companies, enhancing your marketability for future roles.

Market Need

Asia is the hottest market for digital, and being part of the leading digital consulting brand among the Big4 firms provides a significant advantage. Deloitte Digital Strategy is experiencing a surge in project opportunities, particularly with Japanese headquarters operating globally. This means DDS can select the best projects and is actively seeking top talent.

Timing

Deloitte Digital’s recent announcement of a unified P&L across APAC enables the leverage of talent across countries, fostering cross-selling opportunities and driving significant growth in the coming year. This strategic move positions DDS for a period of substantial expansion.

Mentoring and Management

Masanobu Iwabuchi, the Partner for Deloitte Digital Strategy, is renowned for his mentorship. His commitment to mentoring is evident, and his leadership has attracted top talent to Deloitte. Joining a team led by such a dedicated mentor offers invaluable guidance and support for your career.

In conclusion, Deloitte Digital Strategy encompasses all the critical factors for an outstanding career move: upward growth potential, strong mentorship, and perfect timing amidst significant industry demand. For driven individuals seeking an accelerated career path, this is the ideal opportunity.
