In the US, asking 'What do you do?' is a standard icebreaker. It is not considered rude; it is a way to find common ground. In the UK, people might be slightly more reserved about asking about work immediately, but it is still a very common topic. In Japan, the company you work for is often more important than the job title itself, reflecting a collectivist culture.
