About Job Secret Decoder


You are cordially invited to join us for the coming session of Job Secret Decoder, a series of regular sharing sessions by young HKU alumni or industry experts to provide first-hand information and practical tips on how to start your career in a specific field.

Startups or Corporates? My International Experiences and Career Move from a Foodtech Startup to BNP Paribas

Startups are taking up a larger part of the business landscape in Hong Kong, as more young entrepreneurs enjoy opportunities to start their own businesses with new vision and innovation. In spite of this trend, traditional corporations with relatively clearer career ladder and more stable environment remain priority for some other job seekers. Startups or Corporates - this may be the question you have when making a choice for your career.


As part of the Job Secret Decoder series, we have invited Coco Tse from our full-time Class of 2017 to share about her career journey from VP of a startup to Chief of staff in an international bank group with her BBA A&F background. This is an interactive Zoom session, you are welcome to ask questions after listening to Coco’s sharing. No matter what your background is, join us to hear from Coco:

  • My career journey from startup VP to Chief of Staff
