21-year-old claims firm rejected him as his salary was 'too high' for his age in Japan
In a Reddit post, a 21-year-old job-seeker claimed that a company in Japan rejected him during the interview stage, after clearing multiple rounds, because his salary was "too high" for his age. "I feel really sad because I feel [being young] is a slight disadvantage," he said. "Japanese culture is very much age-biased," a user said on the post.
