7: From Investment Banking to Behavioural Science - Alexandra's Story
Description
In this episode I’m super excited to interview Alexandra Kirienko.
Alexandra has made an amazing pivot - she used to work in finance, at an investment bank Jefferies as Equity Sales and she made a pivot towards doing what she loves - which is being a behavioural scientist, career consultant and a PhD candidate at London School of Economics researching hybrid work and wellbeing at work.
In this interview we are talking about:
- How Alexandra has decided to leave such a prestigious job?
- Has she had any doubts as she was making this pivot - and were others telling her that she should stay?
- Was Alexandra ready to give up the income that was getting in the investment banking role?
- How did she figure out what she wants to do afterwards?
- Is “the grass always greener on the other side” - i.e. does she feel much happier in what she is doing now vs. before?
Enjoy!
