After graduating from law school, Yang began his career as a corporate attorney at Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York City. He quickly grew dissatisfied with the work, finding it grueling and unfulfilling. Yang later described the job as "a pie-eating contest, and if you won, your prize was more pie." He began to desire a career where he would get to "build something." He left the law firm after five months, which he has called "the five worst months of my life."
In February 2000 Yang joined his office mate, Jonathan Philips, in launching Stargiving, a website for celebrity-affiliated philanthropic fundraising. The startup had some initial success, but folded in 2002 as the dot-com bubble burst. Yang became involved in other ventures, including a party-organizing business. From 2002 to 2005, he served as the vice president of a healthcare startup. He'd go on to start his own start-ups,becoming an entrepreneur.

Initially considered a longshot, Yang's campaign gained significant momentum in February 2019 following an appearance on the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. Yang's campaign would gain some momentum, but ultimately he'd drop out and endorse Joe Biden, who'd go on to win the primary and become the 46th president.

My intent was to provide the best America for Americans to live and I believe that me and President Newell have achieved that. I will no longer be involved in politics as to make way for our bright young Americans who I believe will take this country a step forward". Yang continued working on his companies and living an honest life. Yang suffered a stroke on June 2, 2063. After a month in intensive care, he passed away in July 9, 2063.
