1. Title of Lecture
In Search of an Otaku's Paradise

2. Abstract
Faculty of Science students may have a (negative) image of "private companies," such as "seriousness is the first requirement" or "depending on the assignment, you may not be able to do the work you are interested in.
When you hear the word "foreign-capital consulting," you may also add "I'm worried about fitting in because it's full of cheerful people with good communication skills" or "I'm not that good at English...".
I will tell you why I, a geek with a negative image of consulting firms, have been working at a consulting firm for 8 years and why I think it is a good option for those of you who are Faculty of Science.

1. Title of Lecture
Changing Universities, Changing Jobs

2. Abstract
After graduating from the Faculty of Engineering at Hokkaido University, I spent five years in the Master's and Doctoral Programs at the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science at Hokkaido University. After completing the program, I worked as a researcher in a company, but a year and a half later I changed my job to a research position in a research institute. I know that some of you may be anxious about jumping into a new environment, whether it is going on to higher education, finding a job, or changing careers. In this article, I would like to talk about what I thought about when I chose my career path and what I feel now looking back.
