"Jiang Yidong"
2022 Fudan University MBA program graduate
"New chapter" and "new role"
"One defense, two and a half years of study and growth condensed into a complete Full stop; a cry opened a new chapter in life, and began a new identity as a parent. "
Jiang Yidong, who graduated with a major in e-commerce, caught up with the golden age of the country's vigorous development of e-commerce. After entering the workplace, he was engaged in analysis work related to mid- and back-office decision support. In 2016, due to the company's business needs, he was transferred from a "behind-the-scenes" analyst to a "front-line" VP business assistant. With nervousness and excitement, Jiang Yidong opened the door to a new world of work. In May 2018, he walked into the information conference of the Fudan MBA program, "I immediately chose to sign up, and now it seems that this was a very correct decision."
Looking back on this study experience on the occasion of graduation, Jiang Yidong Extremely emotional: "Fudan MBA courses are comprehensive and in-depth, covering many fields such as finance, personnel, market strategy , finance, etc. The establishment of this knowledge system is very critical for me, and it allows me to be exposed to various fields." "
Thanks to the medical and health club established by the college, Jiang Yidong discovered after listening to many lectures and alumni sharing that with the continuous introduction and implementation of new policies in the medical field, he has followed the trend. More and more new models and new businesses are emerging in related emerging industries, and this observation has further inspired Jiang Yidong's determination to break out of his comfort zone. When was about to graduate, he decided to move to a multinational pharmaceutical company, hoping to explore more industry opportunities and explore his greater potential.
In addition to the change in his work role, Jiang Yidong also gained an update in his family role. At the end of 2021, he shared his joy in his circle of friends and began his new identity as a parent. Due to the isolation of the epidemic, Jiang Yidong, who is "staying at home", is taking advantage of the opportunity of "staying at home" to learn to become a qualified nanny. Although he had to face all the inconveniences caused by his lack of experience, he still enjoyed it. Jiang Yidong strongly agrees with one sentence - "There is no balance between work and family. It is nothing more than the tolerance and understanding of family members." He also hopes to take this opportunity to express his gratitude to his family with his own practical actions.
"Man in the game" and "loss resistance"
"The school is more like a flag to me. In addition to learning skills, what I have gained here is more in the long-term direction or way of thinking. Change. This period of study has allowed me to accumulate more abilities to deal with uncertain environments, which are very precious.”
As a “person in the game” of the Shanghai epidemic, Jiang Yidong viewed this period of isolation life. The work is an "anti-fragile" challenge. "The impact of the epidemic will be long-term. We can only continuously and continuously observe and analyze, try to explore the development trend of the next stage, and at the same time accept any variables that may occur." In order to cope with the challenge, It has become particularly urgent to improve one's own "damage resistance" ability.
Jiang Yidong insists on conducting online exchanges and learning with colleagues and alumni from time to time, hoping to escape from known fields, avoid unknown risks, explore more possibilities at the social level, and achieve continuous growth. During his studies, Jiang Yidong got to know many alumni from all walks of life. The candid exchanges gradually deepened their friendship and inspired more. "These are the 'hidden wealth' I gained while studying. ”
It has been nearly half a year since Jiang Yidong completed his MBA thesis defense, but the impact of this special academic experience on him is still continuing. Whenever he encounters confusion, Jiang Yidong will always pay attention to Fudan School of Management unconsciously to see the recent trends of the school and pay attention to the direction in which the school is working hard. In his eyes, Fudan School of Management, his alma mater, is the "wind vane" of his life: He can always learn about the current social development situation from the school, and then re-examine his career from a more macro perspective to grasp the next stage. the key of.
It is not easy to return to school from the workplace, but it is even more difficult to concentrate on studying under the pressure of repeated epidemics. Summarizing his own journey of studying for an MBA, Jiang Yidong hopes that fellow students can cherish and make use of various resources on campus, enjoy this learning journey with 100% investment, and make every minute of their time valuable. "I hope that more students will gain the strength to move forward from Fudan School of Management. I believe that we will eventually gain the wisdom to see into the future and break through the fog to pursue our dreams!"
Break the "quiet years" and discover the scenery further away
「Pan Zhangting」
2022 Fudan University IMBA program graduate
cross-border "run away" for her dream
"I hope that my career and life will have more 'reversals' and 'breaks', instead of seeing the end at a glance. ”
Among the students in the Fudan International MBA Program, Pan Zhangting, who serves as the monitor of Class 1, can be regarded as a relatively “alternative” existence. Unlike many working people who have clear demands or are guided by clear goals when returning to school, what Pan Zhangting pursues largely lies in the "change" itself.
Pan Zhangting spent her four undergraduate years at Beijing International Studies University. After that, she studied abroad in Russia for a period of time as a Russian major. When she first entered the workplace, Pan Zhangting never thought that with a background in language and literature, she would enter a completely unfamiliar financial field by "coincidence".
"At that time, Bank of China fully expanded its overseas branch business and also recruited many staff speaking small languages, and Russian happened to be selected into the bank's special plan for small languages." In this way, Pan Zhangting became an employee of Bank of China and worked in In the following days, as positions in the industry changed, I was once again transferred back to my hometown of Wenzhou "by chance".
Pan Zhangting has worked in Wenzhou for 6 years. In her opinion, it has been a comfortable and "mundane" 6 years. But the career path she could see at a glance made her anxious. In 2018, hoping to see a bigger world, she decided to resign after repeated considerations and came to Shanghai alone.
When Pan Zhangting first arrived in Shanghai, before she had time to appreciate the city's heritage and vitality, she had already joined the job search force, and eventually opened a new page in a company's wealth management position.
integrated into Fudan integrated into Shanghai
"I basically have classes from 8 to 12 o'clock in the morning. In the afternoon, I go to the library to study or organize group discussions with my classmates; in the evening, after dinner, I start a round of self-study, occasionally Taking an hour or two to deal with some school-related matters."
talked about returning to school after 8 years of hard work in the workplace. She not only shared some very sincere thoughts about self-improvement and broadening the "boundaries" of life. The career plan also focused on one word: integration. “Being integrated into Fudan means truly integrating into Shanghai.”
Pan Zhangting felt the pressure brought by her studies at the beginning of her enrollment. She bluntly said that in the first year of the project, she almost regained the form she had in her senior year of high school.
The care is hidden in the details. Pan Zhangting's previous residence was quite far from the school. After enrolling, she deliberately moved to a place of rent near the School of Management to facilitate her participation in some of the school's open classes, academic lectures and other activities. Compared with the commuting costs and inconveniences faced by students who live far away, the advantage of "returning to school at any time" undoubtedly opens up a larger learning space for Pan Zhangting.
During her two-year career in the school, Pan Zhangting had a title that made her very proud: monitor. In those days when I laughed, made fun, and grew up with my classmates, the color of youth seemed to be reflected again on the film of life.
In the new stage full of possibilities in the Fudan School of Management, Pan Zhangting "encountered" many different selves: She is a member of the "Club Development Promotion Committee" of the School of Management; she is also a volunteer, working in the School of Management Her busy figure can be seen in the preparations for many large-scale forums and lectures and in the process of activities; she is also an inheritor of the spirit of Jujin and practices "believe in the power of fellow travelers", using her own What you have learned and realized is shared with the new students and their valuable experiences of self-understanding and exploration.
Excellence, certainty amid uncertainty
The two-year epidemic has added more uncertainty to the overall job hunting environment, but she believes that "excellence" is everyone's strongest guarantee at any time.
Before graduation, just after Pan Zhangting entered the thesis preparation stage, the inconveniences caused by the epidemic were further highlighted: due to the blockade, she could only use VPN access at home to complete the thesis, while Bloomberg, WIND and other suitable The financial data terminals are all bound to the computers in the school computer room; they cannot go to the library to check information or write papers in the academic atmosphere of the library. Pan Zhangting's summary of this is "As long as you can think of difficulties, you have basically encountered them all" .
But looking back, the difficulty of this journey is another kind of hardship? The epidemic is not over yet, but the annual job hunting season has arrived on time, and Pan Zhangting has once again joined the online job search team. The two-year epidemic has added more uncertainty to the overall job search environment, but she believes that "excellence" is everyone's strongest guarantee at any time. "I have already received offers from several companies, so the sense of urgency is not very strong. I may have to think about it before making a choice."
draws a perfect arc of "hard-core transformation"
"Sun Yaping"
2022 A graduate of Fudan University's Aisa MBA program
studied in three places and transformed by leaps and bounds
"The epidemic has made me feel that living in the present is the most important thing. You never know what tomorrow will bring, and if you have an idea, you have to realize it."
"That's me. A workaholic, he is very persistent when he works. " Sun Yaping on the other end of the phone is cheerful and neat, which is impressive.Sun Yaping, who started working in a bank after graduating from a bachelor's degree, unexpectedly encountered a health crisis while making rapid progress, which made her start to think about "what kind of life do you want to have?" With such questions, she Choosing to return to school to study, I achieved unprecedented breakthroughs in professional knowledge and problem-solving abilities, and finally successfully transitioned from finance to medical care, achieving the long-awaited career transition.
Talking about the original intention of studying, Sun Yaping said with a smile that it was because "I don't like the same work and life" and wanted to constantly explore his potential. "I originally wanted to study abroad, but I couldn't worry about my family and children. The S3 Aisa MBA program at Fudan School of Management allowed me to receive international management education without leaving Shanghai. I was immediately attracted to it." In Sun Yaping's view. , all-English teaching and international teaching and research resources will help her develop a deep understanding of the Asian economy and develop a keen grasp of it. "Joint learning in three schools gave me the feeling of 'killing three birds with one stone'!"
Although the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic has caused twists and turns in the study process, Sun Yaping believes that he is very lucky to have grasped the resources provided by the project. and opportunities. In the second semester of her enrollment, she and two other female classmates in her class went to Korea University in Seoul, South Korea, for a semester of further study. "Because of the epidemic, we could only take online classes in isolation in the dormitory. But the joy of learning new knowledge diluted the daily anxiety and pressure, and in the end we came back safely."
After returning from Seoul, Sun Yaping only rested Within a month, I went non-stop to and at the National University of Singapore to start another study career. Sun Yaping gained a lot from the wonderful and rich learning journey in Shanghai, South Korea, Singapore : In the international classroom, she continuously strengthened and expanded her professional knowledge, and also enhanced her skills through in-depth exploration. The ability to solve practical problems.
’s vision, which was originally “constrained” by industry and position, has also been expanded as never before: “I used to have no exposure to supply chain knowledge when working in a bank, and my attention was focused on customers; but since I learned about the industry chain Through cross-validation of upstream and downstream, we have learned to look at the industry from a multi-dimensional perspective and point of view, and extract the logic and judgment that is most in line with the main line of investment.
Change your thinking and find the direction of your passion
She used "passionate like". "Fire, all-encompassing, freedom and equality" are three words to describe the profound feeling that the college brought to her. "Studying here is a rare enjoyment."
During the Shanghai epidemic, facing an uncertain future, Sun Yaping not only did not waste time, but successfully completed an online internship and finally got a job in the medical industry Chance.
In the face of crisis, she is always able to quickly change her thinking and adjust her mentality to seize opportunities and seize the opportunity to make a leap in her career and life. More importantly, the new work experience gained during the epidemic allowed her to see clearly where her true interests lie. "I think the medical and health industry is a cause that benefits the people. It is related to the vital interests of mankind and the happiness and well-being of millions of families. It is also closely related to the economy, society and the future of the country." At this time, she has made up her mind to bid farewell to the financial industry. , deeply involved in the medical industry and creating value in new fields.
At present, Sun Yaping is about to leave campus and return to the workplace again, and his heart is full of nostalgia and reluctance for Fudan School of Management.
"Every time I encounter any difficulties, I can get guidance from my classmates and senior teachers in the college. This enthusiasm and care will never be forgotten by me." In Sun Yaping's view, the teachers in the college are well versed in Chinese and Western knowledge and have extensive knowledge. , the student clubs hold various and exciting activities.There can be full communication between classmates and between classmates and teachers. "No matter how famous the professor is, you can go directly to chat with them." This free, equal, inclusive and open atmosphere fully demonstrates the "student-centered" "specialty.
Sun Yaping gave seemingly "contradictory" advice to the junior students who have not yet graduated: She hopes that everyone can achieve "think more but not too much, be fast and accurate but not fast and accurate" . In other words, no matter what decision you make, you must think twice before making your decision and strive to be more objective and comprehensive. When formulating action strategies and making decisions, you must attack quickly, but you must always maintain a "gentle but firm" attitude and stance when dealing with friends or opponents.
