“Over the years, millions of Chinese students received offers from the top U.S. schools with the help of Chinese study-abroad agencies. However, what I’ve been seeing is that lots of US-educated Chinese grads can’t land a job in the U.S. Even if they decide to go back to China, it’s not any easier since a U.S. degree is not an express pass in the Chinese job market anymore,” says Will Gao. “Seeing what I’ve been seeing, I really wanted to come up with a solution that can address this problem and help more students succeed in job hunting.”

Bearing that goal in mind, Will Gao joined a startup, DreambigCareer (DBC), as a partner and Head of Sales and Product in 2015. He led the team to meet these challenges with his effective communication skills and team-leading skills. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. economy hard and caused an employment plunge. With an increasing number of US-educated Chinese students returning to China, Will Gao and his team decided to pivot to providing more tutoring services targeting the Chinese job market. This effort was a success and got their business through the crisis. Will says, “While facing problems, the challenge is our attitude in solving them. We must have a positive attitude to confront any problems and believe in ourselves and the team’s problem-solving abilities.”

According to DBC, as of 2021, it helped its students receive over 7,000 job offers by providing tailored courses, "Anywhere & Anytime", in the fields of Accounting, Finance, Consulting, and Technology, etc. DBC attracted the attention of capital very soon with its excellent performance. In 2018, US-listed Bright Scholar Education Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: BEDU) announced the acquisition of DBC.
