Intro: Hello hello everyone (EXCITED AND WITH ENERGY) welcome back to Office Hours. A show about how to make a successful jump from college to young professional life. We know that landing your first job can often be an intimidating, complicated and stressful process, but its not impossible! (UP ENERGRY) And we’re here to help by giving you acccess to some of the brightest minds in business to get their advice for how to build a successful career. Take what you can (short pause), pick what you like and listen for that stroke of brilliance that you can use to help you get hired. I’m George and on the show today is Amrit Ramesh, a Data Scientist and Venture Capital Investment Analyst at F-Prime Capital, talking about how to prepare and navigate unexpected career pivots.
(Transition)
Story: It can be next to impossible to know exactly what your career journey will look like right after graduating. Our journeys can be filled with unexpected twists and turns and remain unpredictable even when we try our hardest to plan out the future. And with the average American professional transitions through 12 different jobs throughout their life time, it is essential to know how and when you should pivot to another career opportunity.
Bio: Amrit Ramesh who we are talking with today knows this all too well. After having graduated with a degree in data science from Northeastern University and worked as a data science intern at the Stanford University School of Medicine predicting T-Cell behavior, Amrit Ramesh soon found himself pivoting to working with the Investments Advanced Analytics team at John Hancock Investment Management. Before long Amrit found himself at F-Prime Capital as a Venture Capital Investment Analyst, having pivoted across medicine to financial products to venture capital. Here Amrit has continued to grow out an expansive tree of skills and experiences that has allowed him to continue to pursue his passions, and pivot from one opportunity to the next.
Company Bio: F-Prime Capital where Amrit works is a venture capital firm investing in healthcare and technology companies across the US, Europe, and Asia. With over 200 companies in their portfolio, F-Prime has over $3 billion dollars under management. F-Prime aims to create a significant impact in the world with big global funds and small local teams in Cambridge, Massachusetts, London, and San Francisco, California.
Analysis: Today Amrit comes to us with his experience in discovering the right career path for himself and describes his process of experimentation after graduating from his undergrad. His key take away is that by continually expanding his scope of ability and flexibility, he is able to remain as free as possible to pivot into other career paths and continue along any path until he finds the right career role for him.
Blurb: It can be difficult to know exactly the right career fit for you before graduating, especially when your skill set might feel too narrow. Join us with Amrit Ramesh, a Data Scientist and Venture Capital Investment Analyst at F-Prime Capital, as he dives into his experience discovering the right career for him as well as his philosophy in being flexible and free to pivot to different passions as he uncovers them. Amrit is a large proponent in growing your tree of experiences and skills early in your career, which he feels will allow someone to tackle any challenge in the future.

@George-Liu3 We'll have to go through this. We have a bit of a template format that we are starting to move towards and I would like to see you take a crack at it.
If you can listen to the opening of a How I Built This Podcast you'll see the template we want to follow.
Look at the Mastercard with Michael by Howie and from Arseniy the Gerald WIlson one from USAA and Mustardseed ventures.
We also need better hashtags and you'll need to probably have a bit of a more catchy blurb
I think the story needs to be redone. The Story is the macro view of the episode. You need to give more insight in this about career transitions and how it is changing for millennials and Gen Z. The parts in bold did not make grammatical sense to me and the italics part sounds more like a bio than a story.
I also think you have to redo the analysis part.
