HBS, BCG, HireFrame: The Real Story Behind the Resume - Mike Wu | 52

Описание: Mike Wu’s résumé looks like the classic prestige path: USC, investment banking, Sony, Harvard Business School, BCG, and then entrepreneurship. But in this conversation, he explains why that neat story looked much cleaner on LinkedIn than it felt in real life.

We talk about career searching versus status chasing, what his failed search fund taught him about risk and timing, how HireFrame emerged from a real hiring problem, why offshore staffing succeeds or fails on context, how founders should think about delegation, and what AI is changing in global work.

This is a sharp episode for founders, operators, hiring leaders, and anyone trying to build something real behind the optics.
