This interview presents 宫师姐's interview with "Steak" who reflects on their unconventional educational and career path. "Steak", a dual Math and Philosophy major, describes their journey from an international high school in China to universities in Canada and the U.S., culminating in a product manager role in New York. The discussion highlights their adaptive approach to career and life choices, including navigating job rejections (hundreds of them) and leveraging professional relationships.

宫师姐Chelsea's overarching goal in conducting these "Beyond the Gaokao" interviews is to provide diverse life stories for high school students, offering varied perspectives on academic and career decisions without imposing personal biases.
