Challenge in New York

I have been working in the New York office since November last year to support international proceedings.When I was consulted for a business trip, it was a long period of three months, and I was very anxious because it was my first business trip to the United States, but I thought it was a challenge to something new and took the plunge. I decided to.Now that I'm used to living in New York, I've got a good pace of work.In Japan, I was involved in a project as an engineer, but in New York, I am in charge of supporting review work, mainly supporting local PMs (project managers: managers of the entire project), and also working on work that I have no experience with. is.It's a lot of new things and it's hard every day, but I'm able to get involved in most of the eDiscovery flow, and I'm feeling a sense of fulfillment like never before.

Life in new york

This is the second overseas business trip following a one-week business trip to Thailand, which is the second year since joining the company.It's been a while since I've been abroad for a long time, so not only my daily work but also my daily life in New York feels very exciting.On my days off, I enjoy going out to places unique to New York.However, winter in New York is more severe than expected, and the temperature is just below freezing, so it's really cold. I was invited by a member of the New York office to start bouldering.There seems to be a bouldering gym near the Shinagawa office in Tokyo, so I'm thinking of becoming a member when I return to Japan. I've gotten used to my daily work and life, but I'm having a hard time communicating in English.As a matter of course, all communication with clients will be in English, so improving English conversation skills will be a major issue in the future.However, I feel that I have fully utilized the knowledge and experience I have cultivated since joining the company here in New York, and I have an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.I will be returning to Japan soon, but I will do my best in Japan again by taking advantage of this experience!
