Many large corporations in Japan have an unwritten rule that employees must be at least “MARCH” level (The private Tokyo universities Meiji, Aoyama, Rikkyo, Chuo, and Hosei) to get hired. The value of a degree from any lower-level university is questionable.

I’m at a blue chip company and so few of my colleagues are from these schools, much less have overseas experience. Wait…that explains a lot…
Its not really a ”japanese” thing and its not something new per say, its a common recruitment filter for large cooperation with large amount of applicants. if one doesn’t think FAANGS have this unwritten rule, you’re wrong.
