Description: In our very first episode of Pivot Points｜透视人生, we share our personal stories of why and how we decided to work abroad — and how that decision became a turning point in our careers and lives.

As two foreigners living and working in Germany, we reflect on the culture shocks, identity challenges, and the unexpected personal growth we’ve experienced.
