This episode of “Career Simulation Lab” features my university classmate, Joyce, to discuss her fascinating journey from a finance major to exploring and eventually entering the VC (Venture Capital) industry.

We revisited her seemingly disparate but profound university experiences: from the Fuli Model UN Society and serving as HR Director at a management consulting club, conducting countless interviews with new recruits, to joining an NLP startup, and then interning in sustainable finance at E.SUN Bank (even experiencing the legendary morning exercises and uniform culture). Joyce shared how, in these vastly different environments, she clarified her true passions: the “agility of startups” and the “professionalism of finance,” ultimately finding venture capital as the perfect field to combine both.

For all junior students still feeling lost and caught in self-doubt, Joyce’s advice is incredibly practical: don’t be afraid to ask for a coffee chat, and don’t feel that your extracurricular activities are meaningless. As Steve Jobs said, “Connect the dots” – everything you do now with passion will one day connect, becoming your unique advantage.
