这期节目聚焦于在美国大企业与初创公司中的不同工作体验。我特别喜欢这次谈话的节奏—无论是在旧金山相识、毅然离开科技咨询加入machine learning初创公司的校友 April，还是在纽约结识、从银行 S&T 岗位转身投入帮助中国企业出海的群友 Jojo，两位嘉宾都在这次客厅对话中给我带来了许多启发。我们聊到了工作中的动力与挑战、自主性与成为 T 型人才，身份认知、人生主线任务与风险决策等话题。嘉宾们分享内容丰富又言之有物，我自己也学到了很多。希望有缘听到的朋友也能有所收获，enjoy！
This episode explores the differences between working at large corporations and startups in the U.S. I really enjoyed the flow of the conversation—April left a career in tech consulting to join a machine learning startup, while Jojo transitioned from a banking S&T role to her current mission of helping Chinese companies expand overseas. We touched on topics like motivation and challenges at work, autonomy and becoming T-shaped professionals, identity, life’s core missions, and risk-taking. The guests shared thoughtful and insightful perspectives, and I learned a lot from the discussion. Hope it resonates with you too!
