In episode three of Mapleside Chats Season Two, hosted by Will, we explore the changing landscape of gaming technology in China.

Together with Caleb (Gaming Start-up Founder), Nicky (Gaming Marketing Professional), and Cathy (Ex-Professional Esports Player), we discuss issues such as how to find opportunities in gaming, discrimination and stereotypes, and the future of the industry.

For current students Sabine Neuhaus and Dusan Kladar, as well as alumnus Simon Liang, the answer to the question “Is possible to successfully pivot your career to a new industry, function or location?” is a resounding YES! While all of them had previously made successful career transitions – Sabine from music to law, Dusan from veterinary medicine to management, and Simon from literature to bilateral trade relations – they all saw value in pursuing a CEIBS MBA to help them leapfrog into a different, and better, future. Join host Karen Xi as she discusses their struggles, triumphs and aspirations.
