Hi! I'm Anushka, and at 18, I didn’t think there were a lot of careers for social science students.
Now, at 22, I’ve:
Worked with top Behavioral Science firms for non-salesy marketing (Irrational Labs, Behaven, Centre for Social and Behaviour Change)
Dropped out of UChicago’s Psychology Master’s with a $20K scholarship
Interned at Cambridge and LSE, researching quantitative Behavioral Science
(Dropping out of UChicago didn’t really seem like an achievement to my parents. They were (are) pretty mad)
Anyway, here’s a short version of how I managed to do these “conventionally successful” things:
🧠 Consulting with top Behavioral Science firms for non-salesy marketing
• Got the experience by posting on (and monetizing) my social media
• Got the role either by cold DMing the CEOs or when they reached out to me (literally the only two ways)
🧠 If you’re a behavioral science Founder/Head who wants to know more about social media → sales in a non-salesy way, please DM me here
📚 Interning at Cambridge and LSE in quantitative behavioral science
• Didn’t need a lot of experience for this, so you can apply regardless of how much experience you have
• Got the role by cold emailing the professors I wanted to work with
📚 If you want to know how to get similar internships, please DM me here
🎓 Dropping out of UChicago’s Psychology Master’s with a $20K scholarship
• I don’t know what to write here, but I’ll still write something for the symmetry and aesthetics
• And here, I’m writing another line. Seriously, what can I say....how to drop out?
🎓 If you want to drop out, don’t DM me because I doubt I’ll be able to help (and I don’t want you to blame me for ruining your life with my advice)
