Anyhow, I was on the phone yesterday with a few people.. my general advice is that given the market shakedown in finance, you're going to see a lot more people on the market as available.  When that happens, competition gets more fierce, and companies become more reluctant to hire someone quickly because they feel they can afford to wait for someone better.

Therefore, I would say now is the time to brush up your skills (those of you who are gainfully employed), especially with Japanese language, as I have seen it becoming more and more of a requirement for positions as more candidates have been entering the market with at least some Japanese skill (usually between 2-3 kyu).
