There are good days and there are bad days at work. Today was a good day bc I got a raise! But what isn't shown in the video are the past few months when I confronted my fears of speaking up and asking for a salary increase: and yes, performance related convos scare the living hell out of me. But as Oprah says - "you get in life what you have the courage to ask for”. You just have to remind yourself that you are worthy and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for more. youuu got thissss ♡

Thanks for your generous and insightful sharing about your profession. As a Taiwanese who works in Australia I find your videos resonate a lot with me and it’s very inspiring to see you confess your nervousness and implement self talks and rehearsal different scenarios to elevate confidence before getting into the meeting with your manager. (I did that all the time too) Thank you!

I’ work as Business System Analyst for a healthcare organization!! Best job I’ve ever and best boss ever!!. When you have a boss that can give you five days off without using your PTO, willing to mentor you and help you. You know that’s the kind of boss you want to work with for a very long time. Bosses like that are not very common, we need more of them like that in every organizations.

This is very interesting, I have always gone through performance reviews with my managers without putting too much thought on my real ask (especially about salary because I am afraid of rejection and want to avoid looking greedy). But you are right about things don't happen unless you really ask for them. Thanks for pointing these out !

@@y_m_2025 Thank You so much! I think it really depends on where You live. I am from Poland and last year I got my bachelor degree in spatial management 😅. After that i decided to educate myself to become BA. This fall I am going to start Master's in Computer Science. At the moment as my 'self education' I am doing the Google DA Certificate. My new work offers me a lot of courses and training in the first 3 months. Well see, but to get the job I had to do Gmat test and 2 hour long test with the recruiter, and the interview with manager of the company. i think it is definitely worth it to study on Your own as much as You can!

I am from Southeast Asia. We often look at our Northeast Asian neighbors (CN, JP, KR, TW) in awe because of their high GDP per capita and rapid economic progress. Throughout my life, I've also been in situations where I am baffled by their knowledge gaps in simple things - case in point: cosine similarity in this video. I'm sure all of us would have learned about this in middle school or something (not really a college-level concept). Not sure what to say really, perhaps rote learning is the cause.

@LillianChiu101 2 жыл бұрын

thank you and love that you're doing your masters in Biz Analytics!! I don't have much insight on the UK market specifically, but for the US, most BA i know are either in tech (i.e Strategy related teams are always looking for Biz Intelligence/Biz Analyst roles with your background), or finance (quantitative analyst), or consulting (BA/BI roles). pay is general high given the analytics component to the role, and career trajectory wise it does open alot of opportunities: u can either become a data scientist if you want to lean into data, or stay and become a business manager leaning into the strategy&ops side of things, or even product manager more on the product dev side since you'd have the core analytical + business skills. I think at the end of the day it depends on what industry/product you feel most passionate about, but i know that you will be in a good place!!

hi! Spotify tends to go for experienced hires (2+ yoe), for undergrad the best way imo is to start with the internship and go from there!
