What is realistic compensation for AVP tech roles in Tokyo banks?
Wanted to get some realistic data points from people in Tokyo finance tech.
I’m currently in the final stage of interviews for a Citi Japan AVP technology role (frontend/UI lead side), and the latest discussion was mostly around compensation structure, relocation, housing allowance, etc.
Profile:
- 8+ YOE
- React / Angular / TypeScript
- UI architecture + frontend ownership
- International relocation candidate
Trying to understand what is realistically expected in Tokyo for this level:
- Typical AVP tech base salary range?
- Bonus % range in global banks?
- Is ¥15M–20M total comp realistic?
- How much of compensation is usually housing allowance vs base?
Would especially appreciate insights from people at Citi / JPM / MS / other finance firms in Tokyo.
Thanks!
