We've all heard the usual stories of people in corporate jobs working 7 days a week, 14 hour-days, and having to take business partners out to the driving range on Sundays when you're working in Japan - in a way, that sounds almost leisurely in comparison to what it's like to work in the US or or Europe as a designer; ;-) does anyone know what it would be like to have a corporate design job in Japan these days?

You posted a couple of questions regarding to designer job in Japan. As an automobile designer, it is almost impossible to find a job with Toyota, Nissan, or any other big names unless your name is a world brand. It is quite same to say that it's very tough for a Japanese car designer who cannot speak English to find a design job at GM or Ford design headquarters. Of course there are always possibilities. FYI this is one of the biggest employment/recruiting/headhunting companies in Japan. http://www.recruit.co.jp/corporate/english/ And don't mess up with funny tales of Japanese businessmen.
