Working in Hong Kong my first job (AE) in the industry with the intent to get into strategic planning.

Am I on the right path? When would I be qualified?

@ae1, thanks for the invite will figure that out.

Asia can be hard to get into planning - HOWEVER, I know planning directors have a hard time finding good junior planners. I’d start by getting to know the planning directors, get involved and partner up with them...mention your interest in their way without pissing off your boss or distracting from your job. Ask if there’s anything you can do with your competitive reports that will be interesting to them.

Come join the Asia bowl! Bowl code: l1b0a

Thanks PD1! I wonder what makes strategic planner less of a sought after position in Asia? Btw I am a local hker, if that changes things.

And yeah mentioning that to someone internal would no doubt piss my boss off.

@AE OP It’s not less sought after, it’s more just less well known and less respected.

I’ve always been aware of a y guy’s “manhood” and don’t emasculate men. I am adamant about financial boundaries; I was taught that men shouldn’t be asking me for money as a lady and I followed this advice. However, in the instance that a partner might have a financial challenge and you sense that because he doesn’t really tell you, is it ok to offer a helping hand without him asking or should you let him communicate his needs and you respond how u can. Thx

My best friend took a year off work and just traveled around South America with just a backpack and duffle bag of essentials. He spent about $5 to $10 a night at local hostels and food costs cheaper at local restaurants and shops. He spent roughly $500 a month on room and board. Aside from activities like bungee jumping or live sports events, most of the other activities costs little to nothing. Debating on saving up and just escape for a bit just like that.
