Hello friends,
Things have been a bit chaotic for me lately as I took a short break from the job search to visit family in Asia. I know some of you really wanted to see more China/Vietnam content but unfortunately I spent most of my time abroad with the cameras off, prioritizing quality time with family. I hope to go back again sometime later this year and will make sure to vlog then 🥹 Hope you enjoy the video!
xx,
Julia

I’m also unemployed and on my job searching period so we are going through the same process and times. Thats why I do feel you❤
Good luck on your job searching!
Me too and these videos encourage me and make me feel I'm not alone ❤
unlike you, she's still making money making these videos so you are worse off rip
@@jill7546 😂😂😂ohh you are so funny thank you for making my day by your stupid assumptions🤍
same! job searching at the moment, so watching julia's vids along side doing my own had been comforting
Hi Julia! I am also unemployed in NYC. I've been to Spicy Moon :) I like seeing videos of someone else looking for a job so I don't feel so alone. Good luck to everyone looking for a job out there!!
good things will come soon, I’m sure of it ❤ stay strong
The fact that someone as smart and experienced as you needs to study leetcode makes me feel better, i always dread studying LC
I'm a tech engineer, I hate those leetcode questions with a passion
I found a better (senior engineer) job after 2 months of being laid off. Keep going! Being laid off was the best thing that happened to me.
You are a great example for young girls. Take it from a mother of a girl. ❤ Your parents are great people, one can tell by you and your sisters. Wish you all the best in your job search
No she is not. What you should tell this woman here to be a good woman is to get married and have some kids before all of her eggs are gone.
@@giscardstanleybrutus4286🤮get out of here, this is a disgusting comment
@@giscardstanleybrutus4286 what the hell is wrong with you lmaoo
@kimileej1 🥹 thank you for your kind comment ❤
@@giscardstanleybrutus4286 hilarious joke, are you famous?
Thank you for making this series. I’m also going through this process of finding a job after being lay off. Your videos inspires me to keep going and to be diligent. I wish you can get good news soon.
you are not alone!! rooting for you 💪💗
I am also a Data Scientist in NYC. My experience is that recruiters rarely add value to the interview process and cannot answer detailed questions about what interview questions to expect. Companies are also aware that word gets around about what sorts of problems they ask so they try to mix it up and don't give each candidate the same questions. You are correct that Tableau skills are a requirement as are soft skills e.g. explaining your work. One skill you did not get into much is domain knowledge. Much of NYC tech is in the finance domain; if you are applying for finance roles you should acquire some general financial product and valuation knowledge. I just completed my own interview cycle resulting in a couple offers. Feel free to reach out for advice. The porridge looks delicious!
Thank you Julia for sharing your journey of job searching. Your videos were a place of comfort lately as I’m a recent graduate and I’ve been struggling to find a decent job for my level of experience. Sometimes anxiety comes in waves because of it, as if I’m worth nothing and everybody has cool high-paying jobs. But hope is there, so I’m trying my best to secure that job. Thank you!
Hi Julia, thank you for sharing your job search journey. I've been following you since the beginning of your 20 something diaries and it's really comforting and inspirational to see you post something similar to that concept. Thank you for being courageous and sharing your journey with us. It's especially hard since I'm also looking at the job market and sharpening my job skillset as well. You and Chloe Shih give me the inspiration to always "bet on yourself". All the best wishes! Just keep in mind that your struggles are our inspirations and your achievements are our happiness. I'll be continuing to cheer you on the virtual sidelines.
I’m happy you had another job interview. You are so well prepared and organized!
Hi Julia. I am very new to your channel and just came across these series. I am also going through this job searching period and thank you so much for making these videos. Thank you for making me feel like I am not going through this alone and best of luck!!❤
Always looking forward for your videos❤️ it’s so calming yet so realistic. Hoping for the best for all of us who’s on this job-seeking journeyy🥰
so much love ❤
If this was on Netflix, it will definitely be worth my subscription. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us, Julia. I love every bit of it. Will be glued to this channel till when the good news finally arrives.
Huge fan of these episodes!! 😂you’re doing great Julia!
Such a lovely video; you have a wonderful and supportive family. There's no job in the world that could replace what you have.
hi julia, my familys also located far away (guangzhou and nyc coincidentally) and i find it so hard to be physically away living in seattle. this vid helped me feel not as alone, thank you for sharing
that’s so crazy 😭 the internet makes me feel like the world is such a small place. sending so so much love ❤
Going on a month and a half after being laid off and I want to say I'm glad I have someone I am going on this journey with. I've been trying not to overthink, but I really felt heard when I realized you also go through the same wave of emotions. Take care and best of luck Julia!
You got this Julia, you are going to get that job you wanted. Don’t give up❤
yes I will 😤💪❤️
I need to say how much you have improved on the editing of the videos! Amazing!! We are rooting for you
i wanted to learn to use tableau for a while, you gave me the motivation to do so! thank you a lot :))
yay! it’s actually a really cool tool. hope you have fun learning it ✨
After such a long time!! I keep waiting for your videos
aww ty for your support🥹🫶
That Leetcode grind… girl I feel you 😅
omg that furikake is my favourite 😍I spend too much money shipping it from Kyoto to Canada but I NEED IT. Anyway I'm rooting for you, you work so hard and deserve the best!
You got this girl!!❤
Love your videos! So glad you were able to go visit your family! How did you do in the interview? I am so invested. :) Thanks for sharing!!
Best of luck in your job search! The job market doesn't look good right now but I'm sure you eventually will find a role that is perfect for you 😊
love following your job hunt journey! i am about to graduate from college and im actively looking for jobs in data analysis/science, so your videos are really helpful and good for motivation!
Great insights on balancing the challenges of personal travel and job search in data science! Leveraging tools like Tableau and brushing up on SQL and Python can truly set candidates apart in today's competitive job market. 👍
Same here! I have been unemployed, and I am catching up on my life and interviewing for IT positions. It is a very long process. I understand how you are feeling! I am also doing leetcode.
I love your videos. Could you talk more about the work as a data scientist in the next one?
I am also a job seeker in Canada. I went through couples of interviews but I found it is not only difficult to find a company who values and trusts my capabilities but also difficult to find a position that I really want to work for long term. Unfortunately, job seekers don't have many options due to current economic situations and job market. Sometimes I am anxious about my future and don't wanna end up trying to find a job and living in 9-5 work life which looks stable but actually not stable for retirement nowadays. Good luck to you and all the job seekers. Wish your life goals come true.
love the way u talk in front of ur camera. I spent few hours to watch ur vlog
thanks for being a cool example of what life could be like for me in a few years.
Beautiful Julia :) I am also looking for job opportunities far from you on the other side of the world, in Germany. I recently stumbled upon your channel and found your videos so calming because of your energy ❤ good luck on your search, whatever is yours will not pass you🍀
julia I hope you can be fine and happy!
Julia, find out what you enjoy even if dont get paid for it. With your skills nd talents please help humanity and this environment a bettef place to live. Serve others in need. This is the real goal and purpose.
Hey I really want to get into starting a TH-cam channel so I was wondering what do you use to edit your videos? They look really great
love watching julia's guangzhou vlog :D that exactly I did and I spend time in Guangzhou too:D
Hi Julia, I love watching your vlogs; you are young and talented. I have gained so many data analysis skills from you and Lillian. What do you think about using Power BI and Tableau? My previous company used Power BI, and I want to know which one is better before purchasing Tableau. Thanks.
Take that "I feel like I'm good at everything" mindset into your job interviews 😀
just as she said her skin has been acting up all week i was thinking "wow her skin is so pretty, it’s flawless" 🤣
was waiting to see how u did on the tech screen lol
I'm in Data & AI too and starting full time job search in Europe after grad school. I definitely do not expect tech screens to include SDE questions, is that normal to expect though as you stated sometimes companies have similar tech screens for all tech roles so it's not the norm? Which kind they may include? Is solving Leetcode Easy Python questions kind of enough? Getting motivated with your job search series honestly, gonna be serious on Leetcode to practice!
Hi, Julia :) wish u luck! Additionally, may I know which editing programme you are using? thx xx
Wish all the best in your job search.
keep up the good work!
thank you 💪
What shade do you use for the Clio mesh glow cushion?
Always 🤍🤍 your vids

It's a tough market right now, but you'll eventually find something. Makes my foray into analytics/DS really eye opening, that someone with your credentials is struggling.
Good luck on your job hunting. You will eventually get there, just need a little bit more time! Curious to know what is the restaurant name in the end?
Where is your mini dry erase board from?!
I'm also looking for a job right now, but in a different field from you. Goodluck to us! Sending love from the Philippines 🔥
Hello Julia, from Phnom penh cambodia :) Good luck with the job search
hey Julia, super random, but where is that light green button up shirt you're wearing from?
Do you have enough savings to float for a while?
As a soon to be New Grad, I am looking for jobs for months now and all of them want already experienced people. Even New Grad roles decline me becuase they want experience. It is hard and stressing but seeing someone awesome, intelligent and way more experienced than me going through somehow the same anxiety makes me realize no matter how good I get there is always gonna be problems. With you I saw that, and you make me feel better
Fulltime job searching but still have time for hanging out, enjoy life, that is great and how stable your account balance is :D
omg what was that restaurant at the end? it looked so nice in there!
I felt the little tickle in my throat as well, earlier this week. I gargled with betadine 10ml after every four hours and it was gone the following day. Before that i was sick with a cold, i suspect it was the throat healing... not sure though. But i recommend gargling
Just want to know, did you have any regrets after leaving spotify?
aww your grandpa so cute 0:50
Waw nice vlog and beautiful palace
I'm a IT student at university of phoenix, and looking for entry job level. Any advice? I would love to have the experience before I get my degree. I just want to make sure by the time I get my degree; I'll have the experience. I have heard you can work at any IT positions while you're in school. But it's hard finding one that does that. Thank you! Keep up the great work and content!
was hoping to see your reaction to the tech screen
I’m telling you I’m so bad at filming while being caught up with interviewing sometimes 😭
@@juliafei it's alright. you're doing great. I always look forward to your updates.
Why all the IT related interview needs to go through leetcode... I am an IT guy, but i really think leetcode cant reflect the real level of working on project for comany.
because they need a standardized and bias proof way of assessing coding skills. grilling random questions about someone's project is prone to bias.
agreed. it doesn't reflect anything except if you spend some time to learn how to do leetcode questions. everybody can just train themselves for it, it doesn't reflect what kind of worker you are, what you can bring to the company.
From what I’ve heard, it’s only mostly used for Faang and some big banks. It could be for coding jobs that require in-depth knowledge of ds & a. Most non tech companies don’t require it.
Actually knowing how to write efficient but simple code is the priority of most big tech. If their product are this good it is for a reason (and not dummy brute force). I’m not a fan of leet code either for interviews but it definitely helps structure your thoughts and force you consider different approaches to a pb which is fundamental in corporate world. Don’t forget you don’t create complex stuff by using some vaudou magic but by assembling bricks of fundamental knowledge (and that’s exactly what DS teaches).
I'm a generalist and I'm surprised tech people nowadays need to go through so much interview practice and preparation. My interviews were all about talking nonsense, acting natural, making the interviewer like you. Glad i don't need tech screens interviews, I'm too lazy for that....my toughest interview piece is having to write a one page opinion essay on general topics. That said, i envy today's virtual interviews. During my time, ive to spend one hour travel to difficult to reach and industrial areas for a face to face interview, AND travel back home.
where do you get your crewneck sweaters from? :)
The gray one that I wore is from Uniqlo! I get it a size up to get a more oversized look 😊
Julia, Me; 64 years old American-Chinese male with a Master’s degree in computer graphics. I quitted my job in early 30s w/o another one lining up. I regretted that, not just for the money, but the humiliation of not getting rehired as soon as I thought…
But then again what is live w/o regrets?
You go girl! Don’t listen to the ney sayers.
What level of sql do you need for DataScience roles?
Hope you did well. I'm avoiding places that do interviews like this, can't stand it anymore.
you are doing great
What job boards do you guys use? Indeed?
Can you please make a video on how to write resume? I have been applying jobs but my resume is not getting picked up even after having work experience. I know there are lot of people applying to jobs but the job min requirements and my work experience match but still my resume is not selected… Not sure where I’m going wrong..
Yes, this is a good idea and cover letter advice. I'm on the same boat, I'm finishing my master's and I'm still getting not picked for an interview it is so stressful.
Don't use any canva templates for your resume. Look up ATS software for resumes and linkedin write ups about it.
I've been following you for a long time, only to know that you're Vietnamese, partly because my major is also data scientist :>
I'd have gotten up at 3am if need be and done the interview in China. What's a house-cooling?
more power to you!! I just couldn’t do it 😂 a house cooling is the opposite of a house warming. So they were moving out of their place!
I would think after 2 weeks they'd be willing to work with you. I mean there's some people that have to stay at one job because of turning in a 2 weeks notice before moving on to the next.
Anyone know what the restaurant at the end is called?
which macbook are you using?
I took 4 weeks traveling to asia to visit family and missed an internal position opportunity I wanted to move up to. It is what it is. I had to move on.
what do u think about AI taking software engineers jobs? and data scientists? please
Stress can make you break out
I have been breaking out 😭😭😭
I am also unemployed and doing leetcode 😊. Preparing for job. For data analyst.
I am also same
wow so you're canto?
What Japanese restaurant is this?
Lol literally applied to the same Uber job you showed 🤣. Obviously I got rejected ☠️
u r like me, studying about data analysis to apply for a job
Today I got rejected from a company after the interview &..This vedio got on my feed😂
Are you on H1, OPT or green card?
Hi Julia, do you rmb me? Hehe all the best with all the interviews! I know its tough, but i love how motivated you are to study for each one of them. You deserve a good position coming your say :”) i am interested to know where your bag is from at 6:49 !
Yo tengo 22 años empiezo a estudiar programación, I feel bad estoy viejo 😢..
It just sucks that getting a tech job has to depend on solving these dumb problems. Is there no better way?
I have been laid off for a year and 3 months :(
Why don't you make TH-cam your full time job?
Why did you quit when you have no other job line up?
So why didn’t you stay with your old company until you found a new job?
Sr Data Scientists 165k - 183k in NYC of all places seems very low given how much schooling and work goes into reaching that level AND the absurd cost of living and taxes in NYC
Facts. Things are becoming more unaffordable.
Lucky if you can find a job these days.
omg，16k？😮😮😮😮😮
> Unemployed
> has a YT channel with 170k subs

Hi julia
I want to work so hard and earn so much that I can be unemployed for months and live this luxury life
