Fortuitous, flexible and fun

I entered the insurance industry by accident, really. After graduating from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, with a bachelor's degree in marketing, I went to the Chinese University of Hong Kong to study for a master's. Then I worked at an education startup for a year. I gained some really valuable experience from everything I did - marketing to customer services to product design - but working 15 hours a day was too tiring.
While I was thinking about pursuing a doctorate two years ago, I got to know a former Zhejiang University student who was working as an agent at an insurance company in Hong Kong.
I was particularly interested in learning how the market works in Hong Kong, so I thought it might be a good idea to enter the industry.
