NRI vs Simplex | Which one should you join?

Both NRI and Simplex are strong candidates for those aiming for careers in financial IT or IT consulting.

However, the work you do after joining, salary, work location, assignment structure, and options after your 40s are not the same.

For those without specific preferences, I recommend NRI, which has a large foundation in financial IT and allows you to expand your work into finance, industry, IT infrastructure, and consulting. This is because there are more options when considering your 40s and beyond, or even changing jobs outside the company.

On the other hand, for those who want to continue working in Tokyo, prioritize a high starting salary, or want to learn financial operations and design/development in close proximity, Simplex is also an option.

However, you should not decide based solely on a high starting salary. At Simplex, you are required to handle financial knowledge, technology, quality, and deadlines simultaneously. Even at NRI, if you join just for the company's name recognition, you may end up focusing on large-scale system coordination and operations, which could lead to a situation where the work is different from what you expected.

In the free report below, I have compared the two companies' sales, personnel, starting salaries, work locations, employing entities, assignments, and job descriptions, and organized the reasons why I usually recommend NRI and the conditions for choosing Simplex.

I hope you find it useful.
