Hanhai’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
10+ people coached for Career Coaching
Over the past three years, I’ve had more than 100 coffee chats with MBA applicants, master’s students, and young professionals, helping them think through school choices, career pivots, and how to tell their stories with confidence. Having lived, studied, and worked across both China and the U.S.—in finance, consulting, tech, and entrepreneurship—I’ve been through many of the same transitions and uncertainties my clients are facing. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to make big career decisions in a new environment, and my goal is to offer practical guidance, honest feedback, and a supportive space to figure things out. If you're exploring paths across consulting, finance, tech, or even starting something of your own, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and momentum.

About Hanhai
Hi, I’m Hanhai. I’m from Shanghai and currently an MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg. Before business school, I worked at PwC, mainly serving technology and media companies. I’ve led cross-functional teams on IPO, M&A, and audit projects. Later I came to Kellogg, where I acted as co presidents of Greater China Club and General Management club. For the past summer, I primarily work with Chinese students and professionals studying or working in the U.S., especially those navigating MBA applications, recruiting, career transitions, and cross-border decisions. My focus is on helping people gain clarity, structure their thinking, and make confident, informed career choices.
