?? Japanese Major, Faculty of Arts:

?“We chose this company because it offered the perfect opportunity to grow beyond language expertise. We thought exploring new fields like business would expand our knowledge and skills beyond Japanese language roles, believing this would be more beneficial for a long-term career. What made this job even more appealing was the ability to still leverage English and Japanese skills while developing critical abilities like logical thinking and analysis—valuable assets for any future career. The company’s strong reputation, competitive benefits, and flexibility, including remote work options, made the decision even easier.”

?? Economics and Finance:

?“Working at NRI Thailand provides a chance to apply things we have studied while expanding horizons in a dynamic, global setting. Our expertise is Economics and Finance but we cannot deny that language skills are also essential for our career growth. This company allows us to nurture our language abilities and communication skills while building expertise in the economic and finance field. Both of those hard and soft skills are going to offer endless opportunities in our future careers.

?? International Business:

?“The main reason is that consulting offers an incredible opportunity to learn and grow quickly. As we work on diverse projects with clients from various industries, we have to learn about a new industry every time we join a new project. It is very challenging but yet keeps us excited all the time. Plus, being part of a renowned international company like NRI means exposure to a global network, multicultural work ethics, with a dynamic environment. This allows us to face various situations and experiences which serves as a strong foundation for shaping our long-term career path.”

?? Banking, Investment, and Financial Risk Management:

?“One of the things that stood out during the interview was the approachable and relaxed environment of the company. The flat hierarchy, collaborative culture, and friendly atmosphere left a lasting impression. We have never thought a Japanese company could have such an open atmosphere as it contrasts with our perception of it being serious and hierarchical. The job description was also intriguing as we can utilize my ability while learning a new one at the same time. It felt like this was a place where we could grow, learn, and truly contribute. That’s why joining NRI Thailand was an easy decision.”

We all chose this path for its promise of growth, versatility, and a strong foundation for the future.
