Welcome back to the deep dive
Today we're jumping into a really fascinating story
We've got these sources about someone moscar a the sheg who basically reached the absolute peak in her career general manager and banking
Yeah
Top of the latter stuff
But here's the twist
And it's a big one
Even with that success
She felt this neee
This really strong poll to go back and fix an academic regret from decades ago exactly
And that's our mission today right unpacked this unique journey
Which full of these academic squirirves a career that kind of happen to her almost by accident
And then this very deliberate move to correct the past
It really challenges that idea here just know always moving forward
Sometimes going forward
Means looping back first pleadly out the path
Here we're talk out to a top student from a rural areas
Gets in the best schools
Where everything seems smooth
Then bam a huge college application mistake happens
Which leads to her
Having to basically redue her freshman year taking five years for her under graduate degree
Then thirteen years climbing the corporate latter in banking
Hitting that gm level
And now she's finally going back to school
Pursuing in nba at her original dream university peking university
When her mindset right from that first hurdle is so telling
When she made that application mistake
She could have retaken the exam gone back a year
Right many people would have
But she said checing in that marr's based basically
I didn't want to redo it
I felt i had to keep moving forward that resilience that forward momentum
Even when correcting course that seems core to okay
So let's stick into that initial mistake
Yeah
Because the irony is just dripping here
It came from being too successful too confident
Uh h
She was always the top students smooth sailing as she put it best middle school
Best high school
The best key class
And she even reflects on it saying sham well letimes things going to middle isn't actually good for you
It definitely wasn't here
She was so sure
She get into a top choice at school
Because she barely pay attention to the backup
嗯
Jonda son ytsson university was just a name on the form
And she ticked that box can be adjusted
Allocated here like whatever put me anywhere
If the top choice doesn't work out big mistake but a five o didn't happen
Zona placed in a major
She really really didn't out
She called it very unwilling
But again that proactive nature kicks in
She doesn't just accept it
She decides oagain that i needed transfer to electronics in information
Something she actually wanted to study
But it wasn't easy
There was a catch to even be eligible to transfer
She had a rank in the top ten percent of her current unwanted major class
Wow
So she had to excel in a field
She disliked competing ting is others who were probably to trying to get out
Exactly
And she did it
But that switch because it was such a big disciplinary jumpplment starting over fresh maneagain again she a five year undergrad degree started in two thousand
Five finished esher ch in a significant delay
Right it the ststted of adadullife
It is
But listen to how she describes herself
It doesn't just mean willing to struggle
It's more like someone who embraces the hussle
Who's willing to proactively shake things up for a better outcome a proactive disrutor
I like that she disrupted her own path early on
And that willing ness to endure the upheaval
That seeseelike the big foundation for her later resilience
When you say absolutely it's about alignment over just speed
She was willing to take that detokay
So she gets the degree
She wants electronics and information
The plan is clearly tch right wall away
Maybe other big communication firms that was the goal but well fate or just plaane bad lock had other ideas
我的对的
First up huilway she applied
But didn't even ver get meninterview
Why get this
She picked the wrong professional field from a drop down menu on the online application
A simple click attchnommious match and boom door closed out okay
So planned be other tech combies
She gotten offer from shanto mobile a good one
But turned it down
Why this time
This was a personal choice
Her bold friend who's now her husband didn't wwant to move to beijing for his career
And she didn't won a long distance relationship
She said she was afraid
Theybreak up so one technical mishap one very personal relationship driven decision
And suddenly the tech path is gone pretty much
Which leads to banking king stybe is most concomical
And how andm m seems how does she end up there
That basically ally says was very the going with the flow fallowininition tion or fit
Maybe even convenience
Convenience how so she applied to a couple of banks the one
She chose it was simply the one closest to where she was studying for the bank's entrance exam wait
Seriously thirteen years rising to general manager all started
Because the building was conveniently located for exampreit sounds crazy
Right
It's sort of fes in the face of all that strategic career planning
We hear about it really does
But maybe the initial entry point isn't always the most strategic thing
Maybe it's what you do after you get in well that's exactly her point later on she acknowledges
She didn't use her specific electronicic knowledge
But she says to do go i
You do who waaggo what quty thirteen
They've got some danger duce
So they may go to in the one anzricaa you you a too ago to two for out and two who am and two ah okay
So so even though i didn't in my mamaor or logical thinking
It taught me was actually
Really useful
Precisely
That's the key take away
Here the way her engineering degree trained her to think was more valuable than the specific subject matter make sense
She talks about problem
Decomposition
Thinking
Breaking down big issues and positive vyangm skills
You absolutely need in management regardless of the industry banking tech
Whatever right so that technical training
Even though she didn't become an engineer gave her this core tool kit for tackling complex work
It helped her navigate the path
Even if she didn't plan the destination particuously and navigate she did thirteen years in the bank
She went from a fresh graduate all up to department general manager
And that's a serious role
Responsible for the entire retail business in her district strategy teams
Marketing the whole nine yards
Yeah in the workload sounds
Ds tense
Never never least before seven pm on weekdays
But the compensation is up there
She says
Comparable to senior it engineers in gaoang ao o so high pressure
High rereward
And it seems she was quite strategic within the bank
Even if getting there was accidental
She mentioned choosing court departments
Right
She got that advice from a senior student bank university acc go for the core stuff
So what does core mean in her banking context
What departments are we talking about she lists a few corporate investment financing
Personal finance
Which is where she landed dealing with retail strategy financial accounting and asset liability management
Ok
So basically the departments that handle the main flow of money in strategy
Were the real business happens
Exactly not the poureral stuff
She aimed for the engine room
And now even at the gm level
She's not planning to stay put consistent with her proactive disrupor personality
Yeah
She wants to cross departments trying new things
She believes chicky or herpoo crossing boundaries creates more unique outcomes
She's always looking for that next challenge
That next disruption
Which makes her final move the mba so interesting
Because it feels like looking backward and forward at the same time
Totally because despite all this success
This forward momentum
That old regret was still there we asked her the time machine question go back change one thing
And it wasn't rejecting shanada mobile or the wailway appltation mix up nope
It wasn't even the accidental choice of banking
It was the high school mistake
The college application
Her biggest regret don't be so arrogant filling up those forms
Wow
After all that success
That's the thing that still stings that initial academic misstep apparently
So that feeling of not reaching her perceived potential back
Then that lack of fulfilment the gm title couldn't fix it so no time machine
What does she do
She decides to compensate now she says ybbhohoalon
Kudeua
Vooodom ukay basically
Because i regret what happened
Then i can think about taking actions now to make up for it
Your regret as fuel that's powerful
So the mba isn't just about career advancement
She seems much deeper
It's she rounding out the dream as the source puts it
And she aimed high again singawa
She
Sheking university the top two and she shows pk you peking university why pk you
Specifically this is fascinating
She chose it for it's who
It's humanties five
It's cultural atmosphere remember she's a science undergret works in finance
So she's not going from more finance quant skills
She's got the gm job
She
She probably knows her way around balance sheet
Exactly she's seeking something else
She's currently finishing the final political review steps
Expecto start the part time m mba
It that choice the humanity's vibe
That's incredibly strategic
You think about it
She's mstered the technical of the financial
What's missing for that next level of leadership maybe broader perspective understanding people culture history things outside the numbers could be true cross boundary thinking like she wants often requires that brouer more humanistic understanding wisdom maybe not just smarts
So the nb a is the ultimate self correction addressing that decades old you that lack or regret by pursuing not just an m ba
But one specifically chosen for its cultural bread
It really ties the whole story together knowledge ability ambition they're all tools she's using to fix that past choice and grow regret really can be an engine
What a journey role top student accidental banksusucecessful gm and a questhe the classthat it felt that it congal al academic ambikey lessons core logic beats specific training sometimes aied for the elt in your field and personal growth never really stops
Does it definitely not
But let's go back to that moment
She chose the bank because it was convenient it felt closer more suitable
Then it wasn't the logical long term plan
So a question for you listening
Because in your own life have you may be stuck rigdly to logic or followed the expected path
When maybe just tybe reining aclituition
But even convenience that upfeeling might have opened the door to something unexpected tedly fect ct let's question to mumolover
And here's one more thought building on her final choice
This supersuccessful gma finance pro deliberately picks an nba program for its humanities vibe
Yeah
So what's hihidden humanties ties viabout in non technical knowledge
The broader perspetive vithat in your own field of expertise might need to seek out
To achieve that next level
That truly cross boundary successities aiing for for that's chchallenge embraced
And it's something for all of us to think about
