In Japan, if you compare someone who has worked for the same company for 20 years with someone who has worked for five companies in those 20 years and gained a variety of experiences, the former is more highly regarded.
In the West, they would definitely hire the latter. In Japan, even if you have experience and skills, if you move to a different company, you will start over with an entry-level base salary. In a company, how many years you have worked there is important, and experienced people with skills are treated as a nuisance by the chief of the company. It's like, "That guy seems to have experience elsewhere, but so what? You're the lowest in our company, so shut up!" That's why everyone is extremely afraid of quitting their jobs and prefers to get a safe, stable job, a government job, and parents are proud of their children if they get a government job and brag about it to everyone around them.
