I had the "stable" life, the degree, and the path everyone told me to follow. But I knew something was wrong. I didn't want to work on one patient at a time, I wanted to solve global business challenges. In this video, I share my journey of walking away from a medical career to pursue an MBA in the US, navigating strategy consulting in pharma-biotech, moving back to India with no plan, and finally finding my place in the world of Venture Capital and Startup Advisory. We discuss: • Why "wasting" your education is a myth. • How to handle the judgment of others when you pivot. • Moving from a high-paying US job back to India (The "Fresh Slate" mindset). • How to find the "golden thread" in a non-linear career. If you feel like you're "behind" because you want to change your mind, this video is for you. 📊 IN A SIMILAR BOAT?
