Continuing the hard-core career conversation from the last episode, this installment of “Life Release Notes” completely shifts gears to a “Rational Logic vs. Occult Universe” challenge arena! We’ve once again invited our friend Jun, who is currently working in consulting and was also the former president of the NTU Tarot Club, to chat about how he entered the field of metaphysics and the operational logic behind Tarot and face reading. ...

Duration: 46:47 In this episode, I’ve invited my friend Jun, who is currently working at “Ensure Finance,” to discuss his unexpectedly expansive and non-traditional career path. As a political science graduate, he didn’t limit himself to the confines of his major. Instead, he skillfully transformed his past experiences participating in political party activities and student clubs into practical skills for consulting and sales. We delve into the true landscape and career prospects of NTU’s Department of Political Science [cite: 2, 3][cite_start], as well as his shocking experience interning in HR at a semiconductor company across the strait, where he witnessed firsthand what “extreme involution” truly means. This experience prompted him to decisively switch paths, leading him to a financial advisor role with no base salary, entirely commission-based, yet offering a high degree of lifestyle freedom. ...

As a peace-loving (?) data science researcher, what exactly were Genius Joyce and I rambling about before the official recording? ...

Duration: 1:05:57 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. ...

Length: 29:13 datafox and Daniel were both exchange students in Spain. This episode originally started with a discussion about trading, but it completely veered off into a special feature on European memories, turning into a very real “from womb to outer space” version update. Content includes: Complaining about Spanish nightclubs Real-life encounter with a thief in Barcelona Disclosure of Iceland road trip expenses Information on Czech work visas UAE immigration guide (?) Because it was too unrelated to the main content, it ended up becoming a minor feature for the main update, namely ver 1.1.1. ...

Length: 51:06 In this sacred first episode, I invited my good friend Daniel, who started dabbling in stocks in high school and day-traded during classes in his freshman year of college, to talk about the ideals and realities of studying finance, and the bittersweet experiences of working and learning at an investment firm. Finally, I also asked Daniel to offer some advice to junior students who aspire to become traders: what qualities are essential for a stock market trader, and in what directions should they strive to improve. ...
