[Held on 4/24] Career Preparation for Those Who Want to Eventually Graduate from Consulting: Looking 'Casual' but Actually Strategic

Axis Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and COO: Fumitaka Ito), whose corporate statement is "Solving all challenges through people," will host a webinar titled "Career Preparation for Those Who Want to Eventually Graduate from Consulting: Looking 'Casual' but Actually Strategic." The event will feature 'Gaishikei Usagi no Choko-san,' an influencer in the consulting industry with tens of thousands of followers and author of the book "Casual Job Change: A Way of Life to Aim for an Annual Income of 10 Million Yen While Minimizing Risk." In this webinar, based on the concept presented in the book—that a job change should not be a one-time gamble, but something you prepare for little by little—Gaishikei Usagi no Choko-san will share insights from their own diverse career path, which spans consulting, corporate roles, independent work, and entrepreneurship. The discussion will focus on the theme: "Even if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to do, what preparations can you make now to broaden your future options?" Additionally, our representatives will provide supplementary information on market trends for senior consultant to manager-level professionals and actual career choice tendencies observed through our recruitment and career support services. This session will deliver practical and insightful content for those who have just become consultants as well as those aiming to transition into the field. ■ Webinar Overview Title: Career Preparation for Those Who Want to Eventually Graduate from Consulting: Looking 'Casual' but Actually Strategic Date and Time: Friday, April 24, 2026, 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM Saturday, April 25, 2026, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM / 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM; Sunday, April 26, 2026, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM / 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM Format: Online Participation Fee: Free Target Audience: ・Active consultants (Senior Consultant to Manager level) ・Those unsure whether to continue working in consulting or pursue a different path in the future ・Those who do not plan to change jobs immediately but want to increase their market value and options for the future ・Those who do not have a clear "what I want to do" but feel anxious about maintaining the status quo ■ Presentation Content Part 1: Why do many consultants feel "is it okay to stay like this?" right now?
