Career advantage?

If he/she comes back to Japan after getting the college degree from one of the well known state universities in USA with several years of work experience, does a Japanese national have a better opportunity to earn more money in Japan than working in USA? I know it is difficult to generalize this as each individual is different from others.

In a book titled What They Teach You at Harvard Business School by Philip Delves Broughton, some of the Harvard MBA graduates decided to build their careers in their home countries (such as India) instead of staying in USA to become one of many MBA holders. They saw a home-turf advantage over the local competition in the job market.

It not about the comparison between Japan and the US, but might be interesting for you.

I would say it is not difficult to generalize, but that it is practically impossible, especially since you have not stated what experience and what career.

If you really want some answers, I suggest you ask someone who deals with questions like this, like Terrie Lloyd on www.daijob.com/en . Love to hear his response.
