I'm also in consulting (business/IT) currently in the US. I've lived in Asia before and I'm returning by end of year, job in hand or not. I was curious if you could share how you managed to get posted to Japan at a relatively young age?
After graduation from university, I bought a ticket to Japan and did the rounds. Took me 3 months to get a job. Eventually quit the first one and found the current company.
Hopefully you speak Japanese because it's tough here if you don't. I have no idea how people get "posted" to Japan, although with the declining Japanese economy the expat package seems to be much rarer nowadays. My conclusion is that it's mostly a vestige of the 80s and 90s.
PM me for accommodation options in Bangkok.
