    Anjali Kumar We are continuing our Career Interviews today with one of our favorite humans, Anjali boucles d’oreille coeur swarovski Kumar. You might remember her from this piece she wrote for boucles d’oreille goujon us on Curiosity. Well, that persistent sense of curiosity has informed her career in many ways. And we are all secretly rooting for her to start a podcast or talk show of her own, where her curiosity can truly flourish. Emily sat down with Anjali a few weeks ago to chat all things career and curiosity Anjali: I was born in Brooklyn, but boucles d’oreille bambou then I moved to the Chicago area when I was about 2 or 3 years old. bijoux pas cher I was raised outside of Chicago in a town called Flossmoor, IL. Yes, that a real place. Yeah I wish I collier or createur had done it, I don’t think I was a journalist through. I think I abandoned those dreams really early when I heard what was involved in doing radio. But when I was little I thought I wanted to be a newscaster, or on the radio actually playing music, probably doing the news on the radio. Did your parents have an impact on what you wanted to do in any capacity Did you look to them for guidance in starting to figure out what career you would have for yourself Absolutely. I actually was pre med all through college because my parents had an impact on what I was studying. I was very much that cliche Indian of a certain generation that was taught that if you went boucles d’oreille rose fushia to medical school you were set and safe in this country; you would always have a job there would always be sick people, people don’t discriminate against their doctors. So, at that point I just thought I’d become a doctor. coque samsung I was good at math and science, and so that was the career path I just assumed I’d do. Brown, and the only reason I’m not still failing out of med school is because I went to Brown. I was exposed to all of this other stuff and I was like «oh, wait I don’t have to be a doctor» It where I decided to find my rebellious streak, and I thought, «I’ll show them. I’m not going to be a doctor, boucles d’oreille en or enfant I’m going to become a lawyer.» It was the saddest rebellion. Shows you what a nerd I was when I was growing up, I was like, «I don’t play but anyone else’s rules, I’m going to go to law school.» Once you go to law school did you feel more engaged in what you were studying Yeah, for sure. I really really enjoyed law school actually, as much as one can enjoy that kind of rigorous curriculum. But I did enjoy it, I really enjoyed the dialogue in our classes, I enjoyed the way we were taught to think about problems and issue spotting. All those sorts of basic skills of a lawyer I really enjoyed. And I liked all the reading in a way that I was surprised by. I had taken a year off in between undergrad and law school, so I think I got used to working every single day. So going to law school, I had that discipline of having to do my reading every single day, which was not the discipline I had in college was a bit more loosey goosey for me. coque huawei Going into law school I was ready to commit to studying every single day and getting through whatever was assigned to me and keeping up, so it wasn’t overwhelming the way I think it could have been if I had gone straight through. What type of law were you doing at Sherman Sterling, your first firm after college I was a corporate lawyer. coque iphone We were taking a lot of boucles d’oreille berbere those companies public, and I was a very junior associate doing all the diligence and reading contracts and proofreading things, having to stay at the office until all hours of the night printing and photocopying, calling taxis to send out documents all across London. It was a really shitty job, but I really learned how to be a very diligent lawyer because of my time there. Can you talk about different specialties within the corporate law space There collier or gris femme are really different areas of law, so it depends on what kinds of deals you are working on. boucles d’oreille nature et découverte I was working on «deals» but not mergers and acquisitions, people tend to specialize in different things. The team I was working with was called corporate finance and it was getting financing for these corporations one of the ways they can do that now is through boucles d’oreille années 70 VCs what we were doing was taking these companies public, to the public markets, and that how they would get this big infusion of cash to keep their operations going. coque samsung When I moved to New York I switched departments and started working on Project Finance. I thought it was going to be more development work, because I actually went to the law firm thinking I boucles d’oreille acier chirurgical enfant was going to do this for a few years, pay off all my loans, and then go into non profit, that was my game plan. I actually had a professor in law school who recommended that I do that. If you get job offers from places like Shearman Sterling, take it and show everybody you can cut it with the big boys and then quit. I did a ton of pro bono work when I was at Shearman which was really amazing. So, when I came to New York I was doing project development and finance, which I thought was infrastructure projects in developing countries and it was going to be like changing the world through these big projects. Instead, we boucles d’oreille tibetaines were basically getting financing for like oil companies and it was literally building oil rigs and getting the financial documents in place. It was really not for me, so I ended up starting to do a lot of pro bono work because I found myself so not inspired by the work that I was doing. I boucles d’oreille non percées started representing an art space in New York called The Kitchen, I started working with an asylum case anyone who needed pro bono I was always the one to raise my hand because I loved doing it. What pulled you towards that type of work do you think I was raised with a real sense of fairness and justice. My father continues to be a really liberal democrat, which collier or origami I have since found out is very unusual in the Indian community. I fausses boucles d’oreille didn’t realize until the past couple elections that that is not entirely true. coque huawei I was just raised that way, thinking we had this duty to give back and to do something with what we have been given. Especially coming as first generation citizens to this country you really feel that sense of responsibility and gratitude for having this experience. How long did you stay at that firm I was there for 4 years, and then 9/11 happened, and 9/11 to me was a huge wake up call. There were actually two events that came in close succession, one is the asylum case that I mentioned. I was assigned a pro bono case of this young Pakistani woman who was escaping the threat of an honor killing. coque iphone She was escaping boucles d’oreille lolilota an abusive marriage, a forced marriage, and she was coming back from Pakistan to go back into this abusive relationship as her family forced her back or threatened to kill her. collier argent She managed to escape at JFK airport through the help of some amazing flight attendants who helped shepard her chapelet collier or to safety and moved her into a safe collier or guy laroche house. Then through that she ended up coming to my work and I was her pro bono attorney. We worked on her case, and it turned out there was all this crazy stuff over the course of her case including one of her uncles showed up in my office. At the office I had to start being escorted by security every night because he showed and was calling and threatening, calling up to my office from the lobby of our building and threatening me and demanding I come down since security wouldn’t let him up. That went on for a while. We met them at the courthouse downtown and we had to escort her out and go into a waiting car. This was all super dramatic especially as a 27 year old lawyer at the time it was terrifying, more terrifying for her obviously. coque samsung 9/10 was supposed to be my moving day, we used to live downtown just a few blocks from the World Trade Center. My husband and I were going to be moving uptown and I got notice that this young woman’s hearing was scheduled for 9/10, her immigration hearing in Queens. We moved our moving day to 9/11 which is also our anniversary, and then I went to her hearing and she was ultimately granted asylum, which frankly she tresor collier or never would have gotten I think had her hearing been pushed to 9/12. 9/11 happened, we were moving that morning, so we were home, we lived just a few blocks away from the World spirale boucles d’oreille Trade Center, we saw the whole thing go down, and had to escape this area because there were FBI and SWAT teams all around they were clearing the area, and everything changed in New York. That to me, like for so many New Yorkers, was such a big wakeup call. For me professionally, I came into this whole thing wanting to have an impact on the world, but what am I waiting for What else do I need to have happen I was ready to make a move, and within the next few months I ended up taking a job at the Robinhood Foundation. They had raised a lot of money in the aftermath of 9/11 helping the poorest of the poor New Yorkers with mental health issues and other sorts of other critical services that the city needed, and I worked at Robinhood for three years. In there somewhere I started my handbag business too. I have a small handbag line, it was on Sex and the City twice. And the reason accrocher ses boucles d’oreille I started that was because I was getting bored. The economy was starting to go down pre 9/11, work was getting very quiet, I was busy on some pro bono cases, I didn’t have a ton of other work and had a ton of time on my hands and was creatively itchy. How did you even know how to make a handbag I really didn’t and that the comedy of it all, is how I had the chutzpah to think that I could do this having no background in the fashion industry, no connections, no idea what I was doing. coque samsung I found a garment manufacturer in the garment district to help me sew these bags, when I look back at them they are hilarious. They are so janky, but they sold and someone actually placed an order. So that was my creative outlet, and then I was doing other stuff, 9/11 happens, the world goes completely upside down and changes, and I realize I need to do something else. To me, going to Robinhood was that first step, and I was still designing handbags. I designed for quite some years, and I worked at Robinhood and to me it was incredibly fulfilling. kawaii licorne I don’t know if it felt fulfilling at the time because it was such a crazy time in the city, it was a very difficult time, the whole city was on edge. coque iphone But, as boucles d’oreille enfant argent a city we really came together in the aftermath of 9/11 in a way that I’ve never experienced before or since.
