Gorick Ng is a Canadian-born American author, lecturer, and career adviser. He is known for his book The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right (2021).[1]
Biography
Ng was born in Toronto, Canada. When he was 14, Ng's mother lost her job.[2] Being the only one with proficient enough English and internet literacy, Ng wrote resumes, cover letters, and coached his mother to help her find a new position, though these efforts were mostly unsuccessful.[3]
Ng graduated valedictorian from Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute and attended Harvard College as a first-generation college student, where he earned his A.B. in Government.[4][5]
Career
Ng began his career at Credit Suisse as an investment banker and later joined Boston Consulting Group where he worked in management consulting.[6] He left management consulting to pursue his MBA at Harvard Business School.[7]
After receiving his MBA, Ng joined Harvard's research initiative, Managing the Future of Work, where he explored talent management and workplace design.[8] He also began his role as a career adviser for first-generation, low-income college students at Harvard College.[9] Paired with his own life experiences, this work sparked Ng to explore what he began to call the "Unspoken rule|unspoken rules," or advice and guidance that is disproportionately known and shared, and often results in what he states as "the perpetuation of economic inequality."[10]
In 2021, Ng published his first book, The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right, which became a Wall Street Journal best seller.[11] Ng has guest-lectured at educational institutions and non-profit organizations including Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts,[12] Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts,[13] and QuestBridge in Palo Alto, California.[14]
His writing has appeared in Harvard Business Review,[15] Harvard Business Publishing Education,[16] CNBC,[17] and Fast Company.[18] In 2022, he was named a faculty member at the University of California, Berkeley where he teaches a course on entrepreneurship based on his book.[19][20]
