She was never supposed to work in finance. Now she closes deals on Wall Street and coaches the next generation to do the same.
Our guest this week Nancy Chen completely reinvented her path — and what she built on the other side is extraordinary. In this episode she breaks down the exact strategic moves that took her from international student to Wall Street private equity, and how she turned that knowledge into New York Bamboo Consulting, helping hundreds of students land their dream roles at top firms.
This conversation is for anyone building a career in a space that wasn‘t made for them. Nancy gets real about navigating finance as an Asian woman, finding what only YOU can bring to the table, and why the world will find your limitations — but only you will find your opportunities.
One of my favourite conversations on the podcast so far. Full episode is live now — link in bio 🎙️
