EP02: Chasing Prestige to Choosing Hard Things: Jassis Chen on Turning Rejection Into Redirection

Dela

Jassis Chen started out doing exactly what she was "supposed" to — studying commerce / law, doing prestigious internships, going for leadership roles in student societies. Then COVID hit, she dropped law, went all-in at her first job at a private equity firm, then made her way into McKinsey off-cycle. A few years later she left it all behind to move solo to New York, a dream she's had ever since she was young.

In this episode, Jassis breaks down how she learned to "eat sh*t" and choose the hard thing on purpose, why every failure she's ever had turned out to be a redirection, and the one question that cuts a self-doubt spiral dead. We get into the tiny micro-steps she used to start speaking up in meetings with senior clients after being told she was too quiet, what it really costs to be a "fit in" as an Asian woman in male-dominated rooms.
