Prior to joining CNN in 2007, Chang served as a reporter at KNSD, NBC's affiliate in San Diego, California. There, she filed reports for MSNBC and won five Emmy Awards. She started her career as a news producer at NBC in New York.

From 2007 to 2010, Chang served as an international correspondent for CNN, based in Beijing and London.[8]

In Beijing, she reported on a wide range of stories, including the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China's economic transformation and its environmental consequences, the 2008 South China floods, the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, North Korea's nuclear ambitions and President Obama's historic visit to Asia. During Obama's visit to Shanghai, Chang was briefly detained by the police for her coverage of the banned Oba-mao T-shirt, which depicted the American President dressed in iconic Red Army attire.

In London, she covered international news for CNN's American Morning. There, she covered European and international events including the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. She had a one-on-one interview with Benazir Bhutto, former prime minister of Pakistan, weeks before her assassination.

In October 2016, the show was renamed Bloomberg Technology. Chang has interviewed top executives including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, former Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey, Disney CEO Bob Iger, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and Alibaba Founder Jack Ma. She was the first journalist to interview Amazon founder Jeff Bezos when he landed after an historic Blue Origin flight to space.[10] Chang left Bloomberg Technology on November 10, 2022, after 12 years anchoring the show to launch The Circuit.[11]
