Special Guest Jerry Chi of Supercell

Special guest Jerry Chi of Supercell, the mobile game company behind titles such as Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars, currently under soft-launch only in Canada, joins host Drew Ogryzek to discuss what it's like living and working in Japan as a foreigner.

Chi has an impressive background having graduated Stanford, and receiving an MBA from Wharton, while also speaking four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. He offers insights into some of the differences in opportunities between Japanese companies and foreign companies with offices in Japan, as well as some helpful tips for exploring the Japanese job market.
