How I Make $400K A Year Working At TikTok

The BIGGEST LIE You've Been Told About Money is that it doesn't grow on TREES!!
I agree with you!! Money actually grow on trees but only on trees that was planted by you!! These tress are referred to as investments. How you diversify your investment portfolio matters.
Diversification is the key. My portfolio is well diversified with the help of a financial adviser. This helps me make more than +400% monthly on my investments.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Nicole Anastasia Plumlee” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Wow, her track record looks really good from what I found online. I'll take a chance and see how it goes. Thanks for the info
Really love how she's honest about her mistakes and knows to learn from them in the future. Super honest of her and wish her the best of luck!!
The success comes from 15%failure and learning from mistakes, 20%willpower and opportunities, 50%efforts, 5% other ppl support (the Tik Tok recruiter that liked her a lot, in this case, and ex husband who still used to take care of finances while married married cause there are also husband that guide you badly), 10% luck and timings (planning your back up plan, in her case, she was ready before the Meta lay off)..
Great story❤
simp
She’s a goldigga
Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one
You’re correct I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at the moment
That's great! I'm motivated too! How can we achieve this challenge?
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
How do one get started?
She's active on face book @
Why the hate? It’s not like she’s some useless, lazy gold digger. Does it really bother people so much that she’s independent, hard-working, and financially savvy without needing to rely on a partner?
What is she running away from? All humans have to do is farm the land share the food, doctor and plumbing? What real skills does this chick have other than making money. What is she making this money for?The real skills are the stuff she’s spending the money on. Food/farmin, healthcare/doctor, toilet and water/plumbing. People don’t need “money.”
I see a lot of troll comments here. Just ignore them. Some of them look like bots. Or some ppl just get triggered seeing a successful woman 🤷
Wonder how much she is pulling down in "child support"?
I wonder how she'll be doing next year though. That lucrative salary is going to disappear after Biden's TikTok ban takes effect and her job disappears
Ain't going to lie, I dont see any negative comments, just yours.
I'm favoured, $27K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government.
Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.
I just want to use this opportunity to say a very big thank's to Sonia duke and his Strategy, he changed my life.
Soina Duke program is widely available online..
Started with 5,000$ and Withdrew profits
89,000$
Soina gave me the autonomy I need to learn at my own pace and ask questions when I need to she's so accommodating.
Sora is a hustler... I'm really inspired by her work ethic. I, too, agree with her comment about working in the service industry. I'm a therapist, and honestly those customer service skills always come in handy, not just with my clients, but in collateral contacts that I may have to make on their behalf.
@@tdc7totally didn’t catch that! 😂
I waited tables for 10 years since I was 17. Even after I got a full time job I still worked at night to pay off credit card debt accumulated while I was away in England. I honed my efficiency and organizational skill working at busy and big restaurants. I sm retired but from time to time I dreamed about working at a diner like LaVerne and Shirley, refilling coffee mugs and talking to regulars 😁
financial independence is key for women As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
Find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.
Many people minimise the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm solvent. I looked for licenced advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
Glad to have stumbled on this comment, Please who is the consultant that assist you and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
thank you fir this tip
Really appreciate her honesty and transparency around her divorce, money and career! Respect
A woman without a man is a human without god.
for those who did not watch the show she was on (love after divorce), she mentioned that her ex-husband was abusive and the reason for divorce was domestic violence
Sure, but if you ask him you'll hear another side to the the story.
An abusive white dude...before anyone assumes she married and had a kid with an Asian guy.
@@tallwaters9708 Correct. This girl is hyper masculine. It will be very very diffficult to be with her and maintain a masculine role in that relationship. Its probably why she faced a tough time with her ex.
@@irshviralvideoThe husband didn't have a job.
@@banshee1133 according to who ? her ? dont take her word for it....
I gotta say I admire her work ethic. I don’t have kids, but I became burnt out after just 10 years in the work force.
Same.
Ya are weak bro. Man up.
Same.
My biggest takeaway after burning out multiple times throughout my life is that we all operate at different capacities and there is nothing wrong with that. Just means we need to find jobs that help us maintain the balance we need to be happy healthy human beings.
Burn out isn’t real. You just didn’t have a purpose behind your work.
Goes to show even wealthy people don't always have financial literacy. Appreciate her openness and honesty.
True but this wealthy woman here has nearly $800K in cash/stocks/crypto alone, not including assets, and has very little debt compared to her income, she's definitely ahead of the financial literacy curve. LOL
@@ojames1983this very smart cause once TikTok shuts dow she will at least gotten something out of it.
she isnt wealthy lol, wealthy is net worth of over 5M
dont fall for it, this is part of her schtick as an influencer. do you really believe an economics major from berkeley wouldnt have any idea of personal finance?
I work with her in a cross functional manner at Tiktok & followed the show she was on & this. She is an individual contributor in marketing, does not bring in nearly what she claims. It’s been well established that she was laid off from Meta and fired from Netflix. It’s easy to look her up and see that she rents some old condominium in Foster City, not San Mateo. Has a partner, is not a “single mom” that she states splits rent with to make ends meet. Divorced her husband, who she said bought her over $500k worth of cars after she was caught cheating and now needs constant external validation
This woman just rewrote the definition of a toxic narcissist
Before TH-cam just recommended this video to me, I've never heard of this woman and don't have a dog in the fight. I couldn't care less about her one way or the other.
With that said:
* how would you know how much she makes? The only way you could know that is if you're her boss, accountant or taxman/tax woman. Please let us know how you know this.
* she said she was laid off from Meta and doesn't seem to be hiding this fact, yet you brought it up in a negative light. People get laid off and it's not a reflection on the person. If she said she quit, that would be different, but she didn't.
* I looked her up and saw nothing regarding where she lives. I then decided to look up Foster City and it's still a very posh area. It's not like she's living in the slums and this is me taking you at your word. I saw nothing to back up what you claim.
* man, you're even attacking her single mom status? She and her husband are divorced and she hasn't remarried. I think that's the takeaway here. What's the point in bringing this up?
Again, I don't care about this woman and have no opinion of her. But you, on the other hand, seem like you have a grudge against her.
me when i lie 💀
Why do you hate her
IS THIS THE EX-HUSBAND?
@@nadiashami Probably Ex husband.
She's really way up there in the ladder. Very few people make that much. Wish I was her but my 9-5 will not let me be great
Not that much man, calm down
It’s good in the most magnificent. Even as a 9-5er, I make close to that yearly from stocks only. She's earns well, but she isn't way up there
how do you make that much from Stocks? Tried to and let us just say it did not go as expected
Been in your shoes and it's probably because you don't know enough about the market yet. You must either understand the market or get the services of a fin. adviser if you don't have the time or expertise for your "investment" to count.
nice. So did you use an FA? What are the steps for getting one? like a really good one
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
Money invested is far better than money saved , when you invest it gives you the opportunity to increase your financial worth.
It is remarkable how much long term
advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid,
instead of trying to be very intelligent.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
Many individuals report success in investing in stocks, forex, and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), yet I continue to struggle. Can somebody help me out or advise me on what to do?
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
Huh, the shot at 8:42 is at 720 promontory point lane in Foster City. I've run a few half marathons on the trail there.
good to know!
Born in Brazil to Korean/Japanese parents. Moved to Vegas alone in 1992 at 18 to attend UNLV. My first job ever was as busboy making $3.25/hr, then promoted to server at 21at a steak house, asst mgr, then mgr for a fast food chain, multi-unit mgr, lastly regional mgr and real state investor. Now, I own 11 rentals in Vegas with no mortgages, It brings in $21K in net income/month. Hustled my entire life until I semi retired in 2019 at 45. Moved to SD, surf every weekend, kayaking, camping and raising two small children. Gave up decades of fun, holidays, travels. Soon I'm planning to get a cheap sailing boat, fix it, sail to Portugal and visit my childhood friend. Just posting this cause Sora mentioned being a "server" had an impact on her and how her career took off as she changed careers, like mine did. Life will treat you good if you don't waste it. Lastly, how many of you has an MBA? Probably none, so why post negative comments about her or anyone who has achieved greatly at only 34?
I'm also Korean/Japanese. 👋🏼 Had to say hi cuz this is not a common mix.
@@LostGirl415
Thanks for sharing.
How was it like growing up in Brazil?
Love that last line!😊

I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other TH-cam trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow
I've been making a lot of looses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies.
I will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing.
If you can, then get a professional to trade for you i think that way your assets are more secure
I'd recommend Annabelle Hartfield, her profit is great even when there's a dip
“Just because people have an expensive car, doesn’t mean they are wealthy. And cars are a depreciating assets.” Wow, what a valuable idea.
That’s pretty common sense actually.
not ford gt
I wish I didn't buy a car.
read rich dad poor dad, that a grain of sand in that book of wisdom
common knowledge
This woman appeared on Korean match-making TV show and no one wanted her and she left the show ALONE , making $400k don't mean nothing if no body wants her
She currently has a partner, who cares about the show, she found live anyway.
why did she left single ? Too picky ? Too bossy ?
All the participants had their own choices and preferences ,especially because they were all divorcees, they had certain criteria before choosing their partner, like distance for one.
About 10 of them came to the show, and just two couples came out of it and are dating to this day.
So that show says nothing about her.
She is happy with her son.❤
@@aspirantpongkwhat show was this? Singles inferno?
Ewww what a hater you are?
Who cares about some stupid dating show or if she's single. That doesn't determine someone worth
That Meta severance package tho
80K in RSU's as well like sheesh. Silicon Valley is not like the rest of the country.
@@kgal1298 i got 24k for being a year in amazon
@@kgal1298
Yes
That’s a lot of money to people that don’t live in the West Coast. But people that live on the West Coast that’s normal. This is not millions of dollars and this is honestly average income for anyone living in the West Coast. Unless they’re a multimillionaire, they’re not really making “a lot” of money.
Heard most of the leadership they got rid of at meta during thst large severance were essentially just talking heads picked up by meta so none of the other big tech could hire em 😅
I love this, I love how refreshingly honest she is about her some of the little mistakes she's made and how she's learning from them. Feels very relatable since none of use are perfect. Even if you earn a lot
Yeah , I do love too. I see myself in her story and don’t feel ashamed anymore for doing my mistakes
I don’t know this woman personally and so don’t know the validity of the comments about her but I think she gave a really good working parent tip about giving the child chores to do. Telling the child to ask for a spoon etc. at a restaurant is a good example and something I will take into account now that my child is at an age where he is able to take on more responsibilities and learn to be more independent so thank you Sora for that advice.
i remember her from a netflix dating show "love after divorce"
I feel like this video is just going to attract narcissists / abusers to her :P
@@icingcakeyes,,, like attracts like
@@audioplatform6299 She’s not a narcissist - but her ex was an abusive leech so I don’t know why she put this out there
@cancelcancelculture-p5m You didn’t watch the dating show, did you?
don't know her myself
*I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.*
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started.
What are your strategies?
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions.
I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. He has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
2:06 I agree! I worked at McDonald's at 16, and ot taught me customer service, working under pressure in fast paced environment, problem solving, and accuracy. Highly recommend.
I'm studying economics and international business, and I think she's handling everything very well - The only downside, as she mentioned herself, is buying a brand new car, instead of just buying a car that's 1-2 years old, saving her a lot of money she could have invested - But it's not that big of a deal tbh, she's doing great, big props to her!
She has to buy the Tesla because of perception of coworkers and her job
@@KK-pm7ud lawl uh no, what a horrible reason to buy a new car.
The problem isn’t buying a brand new car - the problem is buying the wrong car at the wrong time. Tesla are known to depreciate a lot and so are EVs in general. Not only did she buy a Tesla EV, she bought it during peak COVID pricing and massively overpaid for the car. That model 3 isn’t worth more than $25K if she tries to trade it in. Last but not least, she should have leased the Model 3 so she’s not stuck with a huge loan and $1000/month payment. Cars are depreciating assets. Don’t spend $70K to buy something that depreciates every day. Instead, lease that car for three years and keep your money in the bank/investments. Payment will be lower, your money can grow in other investments, and your resale value isn’t at the mercy of Elon Musk’s mood that day.
@@KuostA That's how it is. She works in tech in a marketing management and sales role. If someone sees her driving a 15 year old Camry, they'll wonder if she really is worth the money.
@@KK-pm7ud yeah, stop talking about things you don't understand lmao. just sit back down pls
Don't feel bad for this Single Mom stuff.
She initiated the divorce, put her child's future in question and walked away with Cash.
No man with integrity should LTR her. Play time 🍆 only
I wonder what the reason for the divorce was? Since she started living with a new partner so soon, it sounds like she had decided someone was better.
Fatherless Children are the main cause of the world's social problems.
This woman prioritized her$elf before anyone.
Lol or she was in an abusive relationship? Lots of reasons to leave a marriage besides just "feeling like it because I'm selfish", lol
@@MossMini What's wrong with that? And why are you upset?
So inspiring ! Work ethic and taking all opportunities in front of her. Thank you for sharing !
She is amazing. Very intelligent and sophisticated. She knows what’s up. Not easy living in the Bay Area its expensive and nowadays dangerous. She was a server at one point too and I can’t agree more about being one is so important cause it teaches you about people. I am a full time server in the Philadelphia suburbs. I make 83k a year from that and i DoorDash on the side. Drive a brand new 2023 Acura TLX i bought last year. I always had a bad relationship with money due to family issues so i always think about money every day. Really love how she said just because someone drives a nice car doesn’t mean they are wealthy.
I just realized how much salary I sacrificed by staying in one company climbing the corporate ladder. Job hoppers won big time.
Anyways, great interview. Happy for her success.
Only in certain fields. Software is one of those fields.
Really incredible how she fits all this in career, kids and a TH-cam channel. Very inspiring! ⭐️
lolz no need to simp.... just book a 1-way ticket to SE Asia and thank me later.
Congrats! Will be following her. Amazing! Asian women are killing it with work/ life balance. Really inspired by them :) A few of my co working clients are Chinese and a few of them send their kids to private mandarin immersion school and they have a tight knit and welcoming community. Its beautiful to witness :)
She seems awesome. I will support anyone who works hard and follows the rules.
She's amazing, 100% hard work, nothing is given to her
Lol
Agree that she's got a great work ethic, but seeing that she's from Korea with parents who paid for her to study abroad in the US and Canada, 99.999% of the time means she comes from $$$$ to begin with.
@@jjn6914yeah but it doesn't take away from her hard work. It helped to have parents who can pay for her education but she had to work and study. Plus she said she worked while studying which is not easy. Good for her.
@jjn6914 I still won't descredit her
@@jjn6914I mean she still had to sell her eggs to make ends meet. Egg retrieval is no easy task.
it is called "if they don't see the coffin, they won't cry". Meaning, if they pay you $150k and the person doing the same job gets $400k, they won't care. But if you have a counter offer that is $380k and they have to have you, they will pay $390k or $400k. If you say you want to leave, it is possible they may find another person, unless if the project is to be done in December and now it is August and they have no time to find and train somebody. Otherwise, they always make the job nature "replaceable" and then treat the person like trash
U rarely hear about women paying spousal support
Wonder why
She probably left him when she started making more money than him.
It’s a lot more common than people think.
Yes and her personality seems a bit off.
@@newmexicoballer3867not just probably, but she admitted it. She basically filed for divorce after reading an article about the benefits of divorcing once the child hit 2.5 years old. She’s successful because she’s very calculating and aggressive.
Love the video and love Sora! She’s so hard working and inspiring
Sora from Love After Divorce! She's amazing
was looking for this comment lolol
no
no
The State of California and Federal taxes she's paying, plus the cost of living in San Mateo are not taken into account at all.
It doesn't have to be, she is still well off regardless of all those parameters
Tell me you have no accounting or financial knowledge without telling me… do the math…
you're right. there are many engineers working at top tech companies in this same area, earning upwards of 450k TC and still living in an apartment with 3 other people. this area is no joke.
Cost of living is not that high lol you can live comfortably making $150k a year in most big cities in California
@@SofiaSupichayathat’s poverty wage as San Mateo where she lives average home price is $2.5 million, requiring a $1 million income to afford
8:55 I love her parenting talk- giving your kids chores and engaging with them, helping them getting interest in learning things. A few of my girl friends seem doing too much for their kids and the kids are getting too comfortable and too lazy, also the kids kind of miss out opportunities to learn in little things. She is great! However, after finishing watching, I'm still left wondering, how does she make $400k a year working at TikTok? 🤣
If a parent make themselves slaves for their kid then the kid will have a master type mentality
You deserve what you have, you earned it hard!! 👍👍 So proud!! Respect!!👏👏
❤❤❤
Work that demanding position for 3-4 years and it'd be a wrap for me with that yearly.
Not if you want to live in the Bay :’(
Same. If I could invest 25% of that, I could easily build wealth, and retire.
You can’t apply your mindset of today towards the income of someone with a different mindset that led them to a job like that. Those kind of people are stimulated by always dreaming about and wanting to be a better version of themselves than yesterday. Settling down and having a mundane and stable life would drive high income people crazy usually
She's really high up there in the corporate ladder. 400k TC is crazy
It actually isn't for her title. Plus they have to pay her more because of the evil stuff she does working for TikTok.
It’s normal in most the magnificent 7. Most of the jobs senior are 200k and up. Add a bonus or sign on bonus and you easily add 100k
Mid level engineers make that much
I’m in Corp finance and also in the wrong industry . She’s in marketing and a director level. Where did I go wrong maaaaan.
She banged her way up
What is the best way to make money from crypto investment as crypto is turning around massively.?❤️
To be honest I invested as low as $10,000
because I was skeptical initially.Recieving my profit weekly without any attached fees gave me more confidence to reinvest
Goodness gracious I'm so excited seeing
Ms.Deborah Davis been mentioned here also.
Didn't know she has been good to other people too, this is wonderful because I also started with a TH-cam referral like this.

Guys you've made my day! I've lost so much money on my own. How do I reach her please🙏
Trading without professional guide... Huh I laugh you, because you will remain where you are or even make huge losses that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders
One of the best and most sincere interviews I have seen. Wishing you well Sora!
How long does it take to make a video like this?
It was great hearing her story. One thing I wish was expanded on was that we can do it all as long as we have good time management. While that is a necessary skill many people do not have, many of us are also just overworked. For that salary I can see it being worth it but I've also seen people in the high 6 figures and above income who have no lives outside of work. Trying to work your way up in a healthy way that doesn't cause burn out and other issues is difficult. But watching this definitely made me want to do more.
Love the transparency. Happy that Sora has found success as a PMM leader, mother and content creator.
Your story is truly inspiring.
Beautiful story! Love the transparency
A very inspirational story! Congratulations on all your accomplishments 🎉 You have done a great job and raising your son and teaching him great transferable skills is a wonderful gift he will have from you his mother. You are a smart, intelligent woman and you are going places. It’s nice that you’re getting to the point where you need to move on to something more challenging and better, always making better money and more money. You talk about investments and your monthly budget. Most people don’t know how to do that nowadays it’s a lost talent. You should be so proud of yourself. I will look you up on your TH-cam channel as well thank you for doing these. I enjoyed every minute of it. 💕🌺🌸
Love her parenting style 🙌🏻
She seems like very hard working and smart woman. I'm sure she's more successful and makes more money than her "ex-husband"! Good for her!
Nah good for him. She will end up old and alone and he will find another partner, hopefully someone who marries him for the right reasons since this chick clearly didn’t.
Incel
well, she had to pay HIM spousal support after the divorce, so he's obviously a deadbeat, especially when you factor in that she is supporting the kid alone.
@@9770Gsounds like he was after her money considering she’s paying him for spousal support, good thing she realized it early on
yes, every mans dream....a corporate wife!
Love her! I wish her all the best in life. May God bless you and your son. Keep going!
This has to be one of the realistic vids I’ve seen in last few years. she was dead honest about things, mistakes she made.
Thank you for being transparent and letting us know what’s possible
If you’re looking at the comments thank you for opening up. Showing your personal journey & growth
Sora Lee has appeared in the Korean Netflix show "Love After Divorce" Season 4!
Good to see u here!
wow, sora's story is incredible! really respect her journey, transparency, and work ethic. hope to meet her one day in the tech industry!!
Wow a real person. Still a lot of money but she's obviously a real person and not afraid to talk about her insecurities and mistakes. She obviously knows what's she's doing. #inspirational

She’s such a Boss girl, love it 😎🫶
Ya real impressive 😂, single mother prioritizing, career over family. I’m sure she won’t regret that when she hits 40 (sarcasm).
@@9770G😂😂 did you even watch the video she has a partner plus she doesn’t need a man to care for her or her child she’s clearly doing that on her the jealousy is real in you 😂
@@9770Galso what do you mean by putting her career over family I think you really need to watch the video before you comment
@@9770GJealous😂😂😂😂 thats pathetic
@@9770GWhile you’re sitting in your mom’s basement, spending your time disparaging a successful woman, you could be working hard too. But mediocre men resent success women and blame them for their inadequacies. Just know Ms. Lee is living her best life and is more successful than you’ll ever be 😆😆😆
9:35 How many of you remembered she was in Dolsingles Season 4?
This is the natural course when you are intelligent and driven. Very inspirational!
@travelvideozif all it takes is luck why are you not in her position, wealthy and successful, as opposed to sitting on TH-cam commenting about someone else’s life?
@travelvideoz i think it is both. i think for anyone who watched the full video, it would be reasonable to say she seems to be quite intelligent and driven. she got a very good degree that not everyone would be able to get, she reads and educates herself on topics she doesnt know much about, she is very conscious about how she raises her son, and she recognizes the financial mistakes she made and seems like she would not repeat the same mistake again. however, i also think that not everyone that is intelligent and driven will necessarily find themselves in the place that she did. things happened to work out for her, when she got laid off she got. a new job two days later. this isn't usually what happens, who knows, if she didn't have that new offer, things could look very diffferent today
@@missfrosty98 Finally a sensible comment on this thread. Also, if you prioritize family (spouse , kids, etc) your chances do go down of reaching this level of success. Keep in mind how much time she does sacrifice to also accomplish this but her priorities are those to each their own. Divorce and fast success do have a correlation in many cases.
Not really. TikTok is an asian owned company and she’s Asian, which has a lot to do with how she got that position and money. She’s hard working, but there’s more to it that that
I remember her on a Korean tv dating show
Is it just me or is it crazy that an individual with an MBA didn't know how to throw money into a brokerage account? I guess the first step is really sparked from interest.
Yes. I know finance people that know how to
Very hardworking woman,good for her.
Also very beautiful
So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story!!!
is it before or after California tax cause i heard dat stuff is scary
Global head of product marketing making 400k, the number seems very low considering that the job is in tech.
It's a job in tech but it's not a tech job.
Very inspiring! I’m so glad she shared her story. I’m rooting for her and Jackson!
America! What a country!
Thankyou for bringing someone whose financial journey has been a learning and not a know it all since the beginning. 👏🏻
I love her work ethic, strategies for negotiations and her confidence.
She's winning in a whole bunch of arenas. Inspiring for sure 🙌🏾
7:34 why didn’t you pay cash for the car? Why would you want to have a monthly payment?
So interesting to see this new perspective, congrats to her, well deserved
Just here for the comments 🍿
I cannot believe somebody somewhat my age has so much money, can buy home, car…what a different life out there.. living while spending everything back on taxes and rent is where it’s at here..
her tax rate is even higher at 45.3%, save your money to invest and buy a house and not overpriced cars as she mentioned, and she had a husband and now shares the rent which helps
seem kinda low for global head of product at tiktok? i know someone who is a product manager working there with 400k tc
Not product. Product marketing. There is a big difference. Nontechnical roles don’t make as much as technical roles even at her level
@@moff_gideon the product manager I know isn’t a technical role either tho
She succeeded this is very inspiring wishing her the best especially coming out of an DV relationship she’s doing everything right and being there for her son with her partner she deserves happiness
It will be freaking great to earn this much per year. But it also important that you’re happy with your job ❤
BIG mistake letting someone else control your money without doing your own frequent checks. Stay on top of it. Even in a good marriage a spouse could become ill or die. You need to know what you have and how to manage it.
She could be doing better if she didn’t buy the car brand new like that, but she still saves and invests most of her money now. So, as long as she keeps living like that, she can still live well financially. Especially since she makes 6 figures a year! I’m almost 30, with a degree, and I’m still not there yet even though I have been living frugally and investing since I was in my mid 20s. I wish her and her kid the best! 🙏❤️
Good luck in tiktok. Remember United States ban tiktok and was voted and was approved and Tiktok will be under United States and is why tiktok has a big layoffs continues.
Wow! You go girl! She has worked hard and climbed the ladder. Coming all the way from S. Korea to Fresno of all places, then to UC Berkeley and now look at her. I'm inspired and insanely happy for her.
Amazing story, thank you for sharing.
Most people will never have the networks she had as a graduate from UCB. Then again this country has to many bean counters and MBA's
Well…yes, there's school networking, but it's actually not entirely helpful. at the end, it's all about how much effort you put in
Tiktok is cancer to society, but she seems like a very nice and hardworking person. Shame she works there.
I was thinking the same thing. Cool person at a bad place.
hopefully she can change to a better company soon. as a mom she must know how harmful it is to children and society
This was so inspirational and I’m not even finished watching it yet go girl let me know if you’re hiring
Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one😊
I am the one. The rest remain poor.
she is beautiful, intelligent, well-educated, caring, and takes good care of herself. haters gonna hate because she is doing well in life without a loser man who is holding her back.
still confused after watching the whole vid, what is her job, Engineer?
0:41 she works in product marketing
@@Damon_Mah well I am surprised the marketing job salary is so high!
@@nking99t what does a ceo do on daily? Strategy and Visionary
@@nking99tbay area tech company standard salary.
Something’s missing. TikTok TC is 300k according to the pie chart. Where did 100k come from?
1:17 $80K RSUs this year
Haters are gonna hate. They are jealous is all
Yup.
Am i the only one confused about her statement about working on her relationship with money but also bought herself a 4k necklace 🤔
To be fair, her relationship with money is a journey that she’s still working on. And regarding the 4K necklace, it was to celebrate a milestone. Would I have personally purchased a 4K necklace? No. But it was what she wanted, so she purchased it, and that’s okay. It doesn’t sound like she’s spending 4K on miscellaneous things all the time and doing so every month, but rather, this was a one-time thing.
At one point she said she sometimes thinks she needs to be more and make more money. That coupled with how she grew up I think for her having a health relationship with money would be not idolizing it or worrying about it too much, spending it on enjoyable things and not feeling bad about her purchase. She's killing it
Thanks for sharing your stories Sora, this is very inspiring.
I am 53 and retired at 50. 1 thing I did do to retire early was to get out of the 401K and IRA programs. Bought rental real-estate and I am now a Limited Partner in about 3500+ units. I do not work.
you did well! for most people maxing out their 401k/IRA is a good idea for any company match (free money) and tax advantages
