So, I was on bigdaikon (yea, I know but...), and some said that a 2-3 year absence from the native (home country), in this case NY Finance/accounting job marke,t with references that "most employers" won't check will be detrimental to future job prospects. Now I know Every Experience Varies, but I'm sure there are others that have some thoughts and experiences about this.
This also probably depends on job sector and position you get in JET, so I'll go down and mention that I plan to be CPA certified (e.i. get Bachelors, apply for JET, doing my M.S in Acct., take CPA exam, and find out whether or not I got int) by the time I presumably get my acceptance letter back (assuming the program isn't cut) and preferably work as a CIR, as it provides more office-related work experience onto your resume hopefully.
Also note, I'm from the states, but any information on this matter will be most appreciative.
I hope I posted it in the right section. :P
