Jack Zhang is the co-founder and CEO of Airwallex. He details his college work routine, combining evening hotel bartending with overnight petrol station shifts.
“I basically work like between four to 1130 and in a bar. And once that's finished, I started working a petrol station from midnight to eight AM. So I literally work 16 hour street. And that's, you know, like, Four or five days a week.”
