    Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

    i have emotional trauma from childhood and bullying in school. it transfers to my employment and ive found that healthy relationships for me, are difficult. i just graduated with my masters and am getting anxiety over feeling forced to return to that 9-5. i see people, like you, doing what they love and being creators (in any sphere) and it makes me want to pursue a niche that i dont see anywhere. reviewing books of a specific nonfiction genre, and cataloguing everything i find to try and dissect the narrative. would take years to build into something, but, i am happiest when reading.

    thanks for making this Tina! This is really helpful, I just graduated from my master's course (that was intended to be my stepping stone for PhD but I ended up not wanting to go to academia) and now I'm trying to look for a real job without actual work experience. I really should be applying for jobs and learning new skills every day but I'm also avoiding this.

      I am having the same crisis as you. Having spent so long in academia I was sure I will walk the PhD path after I completed my masters last year - I'm in STEM so everyone around me is oh but you will get paid well after you finish , throwing away opportunities yada yada but the thing is I don't want to 100%. I am into the idea of it around 30-40% but not a 100% in. Post pandemic things changed a lot - I don't want to be investing another 4-5 years on a "maybe" but at the same time seeing your peers get into programs one after the other hurts like what the f am I doing with my life. I am applying for jobs and upskilling myself in the meantime but unless you get your foot through there is no way of knowing how this all will turn out. So terrified yes, god knows how I am holding on. Sorry a rant just your comment resonated with me sm and wanted to let you know I am here for you. Hope you figure everything out. Best wishes.

  • @sebyv9305
    @sebyv9305 ปีที่แล้ว

    When we say something, sometimes the words that come out come from such a depth, such a resonance of experience, success, failures, thoughts, dreams, a paragraph that we read somewhere, a song that pops into mind, a movie, a conversation, an image, an idea, that only who are close to your experience and your perception can really absorb it and understanding it and relate it in their lives.
    You could choose to talk about 1 topic or a list of ideas, but most people would really connect to what you are saying when you yourself understand your influences and motivations and why you are doing what you are doing, its about the journey and why you took it.

    I really appreciate this video because I was so scared of failing in my dream career. I ended up writing a list of pros and cons of pursuing my dreams and not pursuing them. What I found out is literally that the only cons was my parent's disapproval which wasn't enough to throw my dreams away.

    I'm always most scared of creative endeavors. With work, like just for making money, I always feel like "oh I can do whatever or get whatever crappy job" but it's bigger things, like creative passions, where it scares me to start or to try and turn them into money making endeavors. While I enjoy arts and other creative things, I don't think I've ever felt like I could actually make money with them because I don't feel I'll be good enough, so it scares me to even start something like that. RN the things I've been thinking of starting (and haven't started) are youtube, voice over, and writing

      I m in the reverse path: I can do a lot in the day to the point I "burn" myself for the days after. I was obsessed by this "memento mori" though. I'm actually trying do do less and be consistant. I try not to be negative with myself to work each day by being positive instead of working quickly by fear of missing. I try to take time to organize it and see the path. Without it I cannot succeed in a task longer than 3 4 days. Without it I do not perceive time passing.

    I guess the thing I am the most scared of is actually putting myself out there as a software engineer. Building projects, finding a simple job, I am aiming to learn more or get advance degrees instead of facing the fact that I already have what I need to build my career, I need to start working now. This video really helped in putting that into perspective and I think the actionable steps I can take is build those portfolio projects, revisit and learn DSA, and actually apply for all of those jobs.

    The biggest thing I’m scared I’m going to fail is doing well in the bootcamp I’m in. I forgot to fill out a form and I’m worried that I made a bad impression or seem like I’m not committed. I’m so scared that every little mistake I make will be held against me. I’m trying to understand that it’s ok to make mistakes as long as I acknowledge them and make actionable steps towards not making the same mistake again.

    Hi Tina! Last June 2022 I jumped from my 15 year IT career into a contract job leading a team of software engineers and doing data analytics. It was the scariest jump of my life. I lost sleep, didn’t eat. My husband is really sick and needs insurance and he can’t work and we have two babies aged 3 & 4. I had to buy my own healthcare out of pocket and learn Python on weekends. My job has been great and was exactly what I needed but I was really stressed for the first few months. Thanks for making this. When you all pick a path commit to it 110% you can do it!!

    I have subscribed to Pluralsight and 365 DataScience, but I need to actually carve out time everyday to do it. I thought I needed a lot of time, but it was hard to get 2hrs right after work b/c I would feel like a mushy brain. But maybe if I just do 1hr during a time when I don't feel mushy...like 7-8pm MWF. Then at least that is something! rather than nothing!
    I want to study, but I also need to workout to lose weight.
    I currently swim 1000meters (laps) for 30min everything Tues and Thurs from 7:30-8pm.
    Maybe I can still study from 6:45pm-7:15pm?

    Dr. Andrew Huberman has a video/information out that supports that fear of failure is more powerful/gets greater results than the traditional concept of positivity/self belief. Courage does not exist without fear. If anything its the definition: Courage is not a lack of fear. It is that fear is present and you take the proper action in the very face of that fear. Congratulations on taking the ongoing steps that took you on this tremendous journey while supporting and inspiring others to start and continue journeys of their own!

    I’m going through a massive career shift. I only graduated college back in May and I’ve already come to learn I don’t want to be in my degree field anymore. Back in September I enrolled in the Google Data Analytics program. I’ve been scared the whole time I’ve been making myself learn these new skills, “Am I making another mistake, will I get a job with this, can I even learn this and get into the field compared to those with degrees.” Between all that stress and having just been broken up with I’m scared as hell for the future. However, I’ve come to learn I’m more scared of the what if’s I don’t try. Thus, as Tina said, I’ve made myself not have a choice on learning this. Im going to learn it and do whatever I have to make a career out of something I do enjoy. No matter how scary it is right now.

Y'know it's funny though, I ended up being diagnosed with adhd very recently and it for real opened my eyes to sooo many things. For someone with adhd, it's inherently harder to develop motivation. It's harder to "get started," as some tasks end up exaggerated, anxiety-inducing, or flat out boring! But, one tip I found is that when you're actually feeling motivated, even for a second, capture the antecedents! This helps us identify potential triggers so that we might be able to manifest motivation again.
    For a lot of people, simply watching movies/videos of others achieving your desired goal is enough to motivate.
    Thanks for the awesome vids. I just wanted to spill my brain a little lol

    I've been an intellectual my whole life, and I've been writing poetry for seven years now. While working a job with two hours commuting daily, I found that I am very good at singing and rapping, and the fear is immeasurable. It's not that I'm afraid of failure, my courage to fail is what enables me to ask stupid questions and immediately learn from them. I'm afraid of success, because I fixate on artists that have succeeded and were too fragile, and suffered and died regardless. So I'm pooling strength. Trying to be patient for now.
    Your videos are excellent, and your work ethic inspires me. I'll try not to let the illusion of stagnation get to me. Thank you.

The thing that is bothering me the most right now is looking for internships to apply for related to my major which is Geographic Information Systems. I'm afraid I'm not qualified and will be denied the experience. To me that step is big but as tip number 2 states "Lessen the failure barrier", if I fail then I fail. there's only one way to find out. Just try it.

      If it makes you feel better, I applied for a job I felt I was not qualified for 100% as my degree had nothing to do with it. It’s a consulting company and the interviews were extremely scary and HARD. I was so anxious and pushed myself so hard. I also cried a lot because I kept thinking I had bombed the interviews. Anyway I signed their offer letter on Monday. Its beaten every job I’ve ever been offered. Do it! You’ll be scared but you won’t lose. Worst case scenario you will learn something that’ll make you a better candidate for the next thing.

    Oh, I had this mentality. "Yolo, I don't want to reach the end of my life regreting not doing x". What happened? I regreted doing X. I think we should learn to deal with regret instead of avoiding it. I think regreting is a core component in our lives and just accept "I can't do everything" or "what I love is not what I need", let go of dreams, visions and passions and just live.

    I'm SO frustrated right now because I'm skilled at many different things, but I can't complete even one thing that I know could help me gain some success or that would at least build my confidence in my ability to complete projects.
    I don't even have a goal to be super famous or rich; if I could attain the lifestyle where I don't have to worry about money and have a job I can take anywhere, I'd be happy. I don't want to flex expensive possessions. I just want to reach/move people through my writing and art and fashion (that makes them feel beautiful/happy). I could say that I want to do too many things, but if I could complete at least ONE thing right now, I'd be much happier. Having chronic depression hasn't helped, but my goodness, I fight it! So, it's frustrating.

    This advice does not help persons who can not overcome their fear.My husband is 37 years old and he only went to School till 6th Grade and then worked.
    In 3 years I have tried to get him out of this fear with no outcome.He just says he is not capable of any training or education.And that he is just capable of working.
    I have tried to motivate him since 3 years for completing his school education,and searched adresses for any type of education but he is not interested.I can not force him - he is stuck in his fear forever ...
    I had also asked learning coaches and therapists ....
    they can only help if a person has the motivation to take help ......

    I just had an Azure Workshop at my university today. They taught us about most of the azure services and more of that stuff. What I did realize today the hardest part for me right now is to socialise with people...I wanted to talk but all I could do was be more anxious.
    But anyway, so for anyone going through the same kind of problem I want to ask how do ever u get over speaking to anyone (without feeling judged)? I feel this has really hindered me a lot because recently I really have hit some pain points in my learning journey that couldn't be just googled.

    • @dancronin5691
      @dancronin5691 ปีที่แล้ว

      Socialising is an autotelic process, it's primarily for yourself, second to others. If you speak when you have something you actually want to say, rather than to be heard, you won't care about being judged. However, If it helps, studies have shown its easier with increased exposure to social settings, it can be as easy as just sitting in a cafe for an hour each day.

    • @mindymac_does_stuff
      @mindymac_does_stuff ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree with both of Dan's comments. Exposure is a good, albeit uncomfortable way to make it easier, also being enthusiastic about a topic and sharing it can be easier. As someone who's socially anxious (for example my heart still races whenever I have to introduce myself at PD or at a work meeting), one of the mindsets I've found really helpful is to think about how I perceive others who are commenting or doing any public speaking, when I'm an audience member I really want for them to do well and succeed. If you think of it like that then people aren't judging you they're secretly cheering you on to do your best. Sure that's not 100% true for everyone but most people want you to do well in the class presentation or speaking up in class and answering or asking questions. I hope the mind shift helps, and take baby steps. I'd also suggest starting with something as easy as hanging back after class to ask a teach or TA some of the questions, or try and sit close to someone who does speak up a lot and see if you can add or ask around some of there questions or answers. I hope it gets easier for you 💜

    It's interesting how you study Stoicism and yet believe it's healthy to be afraid of failure. The Stoics would teach us not to fear the outcomes of our actions but only focus our attention on doing our best. The core of Stoic philosophy is the dichotomy of control. As long as I try my best, then I literally have done all I can; therefore, there is no point or use in being afraid of failure.
    I just started a new job this month. Before discovering Stoic philosophy, I would be quaking with nervousness and imposter syndrome, etc. However, and I can say this honestly, I do not feel a single ounce of fear at the moment. Perhaps that I'm not afraid should be reason for me to be afraid?

    0. Use your fear to jauge how important sth is to you- if it's very scary, it probably is very important to you
    1. Make it so that you don't have a choice (eg: got a job for which she needed to learn a new skill)
    2. Lessen the 'failure barrier' (have a backup/side option to allow you to fail)
    3. Weigh the pros and cons
    4. Have a vision for yourself (memento mori)
    5. Turn motivation into action right away (set big goals + smaller goals+ habits integrated in your schedule)
