Investment Banking to Startups: Hannah Zhang's Unexpected Journey

What do you do when the career you worked so hard for no longer feels like the right fit? In this episode of Her Workplace Unfiltered, Founder & CEO Marilynn Joyner sits down with Hannah Zhang—startup product marketing lead, content creator, speaker, and mentor—to explore what it really means to design a nonlinear career in today’s fast-changing world. Hannah shares her journey from leaving a six-figure role in investment banking to navigating pivots across product, marketing, and operations, earning her MBA, working globally, and ultimately building a 130,000+ person audience by openly documenting the lessons she’s learned along the way. Together, Marilynn and Hannah unpack how to move through career pivots and identity shifts with intention—building confidence, gaining clarity, and creating momentum even when the path ahead isn’t obvious. This conversation is for anyone questioning their current trajectory, craving greater alignment, or learning how to trust themselves as they design what’s next—on their own terms. 00:00 - Guest Introduction 01:08 - Early Interest in Investment Banking 02:41 - Path into Finance and Expectations 04:04 - Realizing Strengths and Weaknesses 05:31 - Leaving Banking and Transition to Tech 06:40 - Business School Motivations 08:28 - Myths About Career Pivots 10:03 - Building Confidence for Moves 11:50 - Mentors and Support Networks 13:43 - Purpose Behind Personal Branding 15:15 - Overcoming Fear of Content Creation 16:55 - Growth through Audience Engagement 19:06 - Advice for Women Starting Their Brand 20:25 - Job Market Outlook 22:22 - Women and Portfolio Careers 24:16 - Future of Work for Women 25:35 - Integrating Work and Life 27:07 - Closing Questions: Habits and Beliefs 28:20 - Embracing Nonlinear Careers 29:45 - Contact Info and Closing Instagram: @herworkplaceunfiltered @herworkplace TikTok: @herworkplaceunfiltered @herworkplace Join Her Workplace - www.herworkplace.com Follow Her Workplace on LinkedIn -   / herworkplace   Subscribe to Our Newsletter - https://herworkplace.myflodesk.com/pn...
