Imagine that you apply from a foreign company, a popular country like Japan and receive an immediate reaction, followed by some tests. Sounds great, right? Now expand your imagination and imagine that you have even managed to clarify all tests mentioned with flying colors- only to be rejected at the last round of interviews- not because of your work or your skills, but about your young age. Sounds heartbreaking, right? Well, a young 21-year-old candidate finally lived a similar nightmare when he was rejected by some personnel managers at his young age, even though he impressed her in several tests. According to the man's Reddit post, the company came to the conclusion that his salary was too high for his age. The contribution immediately became viral. The times could not confirm the authenticity of the claim.
“Let yourself be rejected because too young,” said a user.
“I recently applied to a LinkedIn Japanese company (21m) and they immediately call me for the interview. The interview has a few steps in which it once mixed home, a tech interview and the personnel interview with various rounds. I end all around, but when it comes to HR interview, ask again and again about my age and current salary (I already work some part-time jobs with over 3-4 yoe and the college). I replied to 21 and my current salary that is too high for my age what they said and they have this IRK face. I don't know and I don't feel wrong with myself, ”the post said.
“You are very excited at first, but now don't contact me afterwards. When I follow the chat, just answer that I was too young. I don't understand, I think I did a great job in every interview, including the technical. I am really sad because I have the feeling that the young age is a slight disadvantage in the career search process, ”was the post.
The article was shared on Reddit with the 'Affectionate_Law5796' handle. The post was shared a day ago and many reactions were drawn.

The man's reddit contribution becomes viral.
“In Japan, the salary is strongly based on age. Practically everyone completes the university and then work with a content of around 250,000 yen per month. When you continue with the company and get older, your salaries rise. Japan is not like the USA or other western countries in which experience determines the salary compensation, ”said one user.
“The Japanese culture is very old -fashioned and estimates the office about the skills,” added a second person. “It could be that you cannot afford your salary. Sometimes I think that they do not give the real reason to reject. Anyway, they continue to try, ”added a third person.
“Goal for US companies, they pay better and have much better opportunities for career growth,” added another person.
