Manage episode 452662636 series 3489666
Welcome to Part 2 of Mandkai's interview!
Once again, I’m joined by my mentor, Mandkai. In this episode, she shares her reflections on key career topics, including:
- Why choosing the right boss can be even more important than choosing the company.
- Strategies for Asian female professionals to find an ideal boss in Western work cultures.
- The challenges of building connections in high-paced jobs like consulting, including cultural barriers and the pressure to form quick bonds for teamwork.
- The value of a strong personal brand.
- How to secure a promotion without coming across as overly self-promotional.
- The impact of marriage and parenting on both personal life and career progression.
- What AI won’t replace for professionals in the workplace
Mandkai’s journey is truly inspiring—she transitioned from studying Asian and Middle Eastern Studies to thriving in the dynamic world of commercial consulting. Along the way, she’s lived and worked across Japan, Southeast Asia, and Germany, all while raising a family.
Enjoy this insightful and thought-provoking continuation of her story!
