I think an MBA in quantitative finance was worth the 2 years (2024-2026). Getting back into mathematics. And applying it to management.

I still wait for one high-quality Quant AI or strategic / professional management AI concept.
So far it’s all on a coin-flipping level. Or junior manager. If you have the skills, you see that AI cannot make financial or management decisions.

I don’t see the unique strategic long-term value proposition of US AI. China is getting its own full vertical, from power to tokens. US sanctions have backfired.

Therefore, I think learning Chinese is an equally valuable time investment (to an MBA) that won’t become obsolete due to AI. On the contrary. Chinese will be as relevant for tech work as English.

“Piers had been in China for all of two days in 2009 when he was used as a #WhiteMonkey” for the first time. He had travelled to a village in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, to attend a friend’s wedding and had stopped in the village to try a special crab dish at a small restaurant.

Weeks later, a Chinese guest who had been at the wedding told him the restaurant had had an uptick in #business because the locals had heard that a laowai, a foreigner, had been seen dining there, so people had assumed this restaurant must be good.

Piers realised the boss had deliberately seated him in a way to attract attention: “I knew we were sitting outside in a premium spot, but I didn’t pick up on what was going on.”

When #foreigners in China are used this way, they are called a #baihouzi, a white monkey”

This isn’t just a “China-thing”. For decades now western businesses have employed “White Monkeys”. You know them better as suits with an #MBA.

Что если причина, по которой не растут продажи, находится совсем не там, где вы ищете?

Почему Фрейд и квантовая механика объясняют бизнес-решения лучше, чем большинство MBA-курсов Я пришла в психоанализ из топ-менеджмента в IT. Последние 4 года я развиваюсь в психоанализе: как в частной практике, так и в B2B. Я практик до мозга костей и поэтому все получаемые знания сразу переношу на понятные мне бизнес-структуры. И чем дольше я работаю на стыке этих двух миров, тем отчётливее вижу одно и то же: когда бизнес буксует, он ищет причину не там . И причина лежит не в стратегии, не в рынке, не в конкурентах.
