I can relate to this to some level. My home state is NY, but after realizing the burnout and poor body and health from running around for years, I decided to take a risk and relocate overseas for a change while keeping the same remote position. It’s been one year, but my body and mental health has improved so much and burnout is officially gone. I considered the change as part of growth and taking a step back, yet many people thought I was crazy to leave. Eventually I will come back to my home state, but for now I am enjoying vacations to NYC and the states and valuing NYC more than when I actually lived there. I’m also in my late 20s. And as I say, best time to take risks are in your 30s. You will definitely land a new position soon since time is on your side 😊

maybe the company wanna hire you but they saw your drama life on youtube and they don't wanna deal with it

Hi Julia, Thanks for making this video and I am really motivated to be a Data Scientist. To be honest, I was more impressed by your dedication to non-profit work. Could you please let me know your motivation to work for non-profits and what kind of benefits you get from working for non-profits?

Jesus youre so articulate. Love your vids. Keep on keeping !

Should have quite quit instead. Either way, these tech companies are not worth your time, they will drop you as soon as you are disposable! Suggest using your skills to work for a smaller company. It will be infinitely better and more rewarding as you’ll be a big fish in a small pond, making a difference in their organisation!

Where is the beige bucket hat from? It's so cute!!

Don’t take rejections personally. At least you are getting interviews and getting close to getting an offer. Learn from the feedback and keep going.

This whole job search and actually landing a position sometimes feel like a random walk through a maze that you have no idea how close or far away from the end. But keep persisting. Years ago, I was senior management in a company seeking a candidate for a software / controls engineer position. One person went through interviews with key staff members, as well as with myself and the general manager. Everyone like the candidate and he seemed to be a good choice. I got the green light from the staff who interviewed him as well as the general manager, my boss. Somehow, something seemed off. I decided to do background checks. I called up the school where he said he got his degree and the registrar advised he didn't graduate and only took a few classes. Then I called up his previous employer and was advised by the HR manager that they are looking for him as he took a company laptop and they wanted their computer back! Needless to say, I told the general manager that this candidate was a no go! This goes to show even the top management in a company, the GM, who actually did not have a technical degree nor any software experience, often make hiring decisions based on the personality of the candidate! You can imagine what a clown show that would have turned into had this person got hired on!!!

You're cute.

You interned there wanted to work there it was your dream job and you really enjoyed it for 3 years it’s a win and if it no longer works for you and you want more work life balance… no upward mobility those are all valid reasons to leave wishing you much success on your future endeavors. Your mental health is important ❤ it’s too stressful there is valid good on you for doing what’s best for you

For living anywhere in America you are doing exceptionally well. You paid attention to your parents and to anyone in school who taught you how to budget. Has someone whose dad is a native I always avoided moving there because of the fear of the cost but honestly if you can find an apartment for around $2,500 a month and you can manage to make close to 80k a year then it's not that crazy to live there. You can make that money as a welder and live in the city. Best someone who lives in california, not in a fancy part, those prices are comparable to here but you have all the added benefit of the city and all that it offers

There is a difference between a J O B and a career. You seemed as if you had a career at Spotify. I would have kept it and made sure that every four months you took a seven day vacation and traveled the world. That mini vacation would have reset you each and every time re-energizing your next four month work period. When you come back from one vacation, you are already planning the next keeping your mind fixed where it should be! LIVING and enjoying life, not just being a workaholic. Good luck, I wish you well.

i love watching your videos even though i have no connection to data science or job search! i love watching whatever you post (:

i have stupid question, pure just asking a question, do you buy sweet drink like that everyday? i mean, i saw on your youtube it seem you always have something like sweet drink that you buy on cafe, is that normal for people? or it is just me who too scared of diabetic?

I like this new segment of being outside and just getting candid with us. More of these please🙏

We've missed watching you in your carefree vlog era. Love to see the switch up from the serious job searching for a bit

I watched this a few months ago on my bf's profile but I've been meaning to watch it on mine as well because we're here to run up those views girl! Seeing you not get the job was heartbreaking and I embarassingly cried with you. It's heavy seeing people put in the work and truly deserve something but not getting it. Think I was also in an anxious state with my own career waiting on important news. Your video was a good emotional outlet and cry

The fact that companies are asking a DATA SCIENTIST a leet code question is just absurd. It is sad the interviewing landscape has not changed since I started my career in 2010.

Omg Chloe is everywhere in every single CZcams I am watching 😂

People make it seem like getting a job is so simple because they only show the highlight so thank you soooo much for showing us the reality of it all! Also looooooove your normal daily life vlogs so please keep doing them if you enjoy it ❤

I am one month late to this. Just found your channel and love your content. Times are hard and the market is really competitive, but just keep grinding and good things will happen!

I find it odd when companies post a job , interview for it then say they don't have a budget for it. Like what?

I have been going through it with the legal sector so thank you so much for sharing.

Naturally, I just keep checking if new video came out every 4-5 days😂 I just love how open, honest and real are the job search series, a must have to watch for our gen of 20 something trying to figure out how to handle the current job market & life in general ❤

Work every where. Enjoy what you find.

also the point she made about how at the end of the day you are always ALWAYS worried about where that money is coming from and the fear of just being fired

i think we all agree its like a competitive exam at this point like whole tech recruitment scene needs to change

Hey you found a job finally?! So happy for you ♥️♥️♥️

The thing is you are not really unemployed, as you have mutiple sources of income.

I recently quit my job, which was a dream at one point and the whole reason of every step I took during my educational and professional journey. The decision was definitely emotionally overwhelming and it scared me for months. But now I am over it and very mindful of where I go next. In fact, in the meantime, I launched a business and embarked on a content creation journey. Unfortunately, my runway for expenses didn't leave much, so I had to take another job. But, altogether, I feel like these are the right steps for my long-term goals and life. As I watching you sharing your experience, I just want to say you are brave and not alone. We deserve better, whatever that means in our terms :))

what is the name of the jazz song in the intro?

I feel the same way - thank you for expressing your feelings! This video made me feel so much better - knowing that I'm not alone in feeling that I'm not good enough for the corporate environment.

Imagine having the luxury to quit your job very freely 😂😂

get your CDL license and drive trucks. I’m not lying.

Would Spotify take you back? Or are they this arrogant?

I feel like an MBA is a terrific idea. It opens you up to a lot options. And why the hell do you think you don't deserve perfume? That's not cool.

Where is that pullover sweater from?

You've been looking for a job for a very short period of time. Wait until you've been actively looking for a year. Its not you. There are just too many qualified people looking for roles right now.

"rejection is redirection." thank you julia for being vulnerable and sharing this journey with us. thank you for showing the realness of being true to your feelings and then continuing to get back up and continuing to do the things that you love, taking care of yourself, and working on your dreams. we love you. you are worth all the best and this is just a season of preparing you for the best! <3

Why is SQL and R so much easier to learn than Python?

Love this series, where did you get your cheat sheet from?

8 rounds 😂. Nonsense, is this the life ppl want to live?? Find a good job, work your ass off, save as much money as possible and then become a crypto investor

I've been on the job hunt for 4 months now. This is all very relatable, shoebox apartment and everything.

I just want to say that this video series of yours have made me feel somewhat better about my current situation. I've also willingly left a job back in February due to the toll it has taken on my mental and physical health. I was and still am struggling to accept the fact that I am doing this to prioritize my own wellbeing. I became a recluse and withdrawn as I face rejections after rejections, and feeling shame and embarrassed to face my peers/friends because they are "well off" career-wise. The job market has been tough - and will probably be tough for a while, and some days it gets so hard to deal with the anxiety of the unknown future. Watching you go through this with a very positive attitude is inspiring. And the happiness and carefree vibes are really showing. I hope I'll get there too. Hang in there, you'll land something so rewarding, this journey will be worth it. <3 Thank you again.

Have you thought about looking for mid-level roles instead of senior roles? I think usually companies are looking for someone with a lot of experience with different companies for senior levels. If you get accepted for a mid-level you can rise up to be a senior inside the company. Goodluck Julia! All the best in your search.
