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 ♡

I really appreciate how you explain your work! A lot of a day in the life of xx job vlogs don't actually offer insight on the actual work, so seeing you create videos like these is really helpful! You're also very good at explaining things and you motivate me to be more open in communicating in my job. Thank you!
thank you so much!! will also have more informative videos about what i actually do too down the line
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!
Thank you Lilian!! There is no one talking about this topics and I really appreciate that you are taking your time to share your experience with us 💜💜💜
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.
Wowwww!
hi giu! your job seems so cool! it's always amazing to have a supportive and empathetic manager like youdo. And agreed, they are not common at all. all the best to your journey!!
I am fresher looking for business analyst position
What skills require to become BA in healthcare
Exactly how did you get paid if you didn’t use PTO?
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 !
Hi Lilian, I would love to see more content about your full time experience compared to your internship, how you plan your career and some advice for people in the business analytics field if possible. Love your content! Keep up with the great work!
I am starting my job as BA on Tuesday and I'm so excited for this big change in my life. Now, I can't stop watching your videos ♥
Hi sister, wish u success. Could you please advise what educational path you took to become a business analyst.
@@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! Wish You all the best♥
@@sandranowak4204 hi sister, wish you doing well in the new role. Thank you so much for your advice , it's extremely useful to me since I am trying to land a job as a BA. I am pursuing Master''s in Marketing. Can you please give me the advice of the Google Cert you took? As you are a BA now, do you think that any cert is useful and helps us in the role? Thank you so much
How has your job been
@@Joker-jz9cn Hi, so far so good! A lot of new things to learn and lots of challenges. But it’s so cool to work with data and new technologies. Very excited on how my work path as a BA will improve
Really enjoy watching your videos! I like how you share in detail what you do for your job and give out handy tips 💕
Congrats on the raise and sponsor!!! Love your vlogs 😍
reli like the style of your vlog! sooo relaxed!
Your contents are so good!! So cute and calm and inspiring at the same time.
Wasn’t expecting the mini pep talk/performance review tips in the middle of this video, thank you!
好棒的vlog ～脫離了一般的廢片vlog 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹學習到不同的生活見解
觀念&經驗分享也做得好可愛～好喜歡你～～～～
Great video :) I definitely love your day in the life’s while your working. Hearing more about how you should approach your manager is very helpful.
Congrats on the raise & the package from the lyrics team was so cute and nice :)
Id love to see more of these videos and I think it would be great to see your approach on growth/developmental/objective planning within your job. I feel like I struggle with that and I think your insight and guidance would be great!
thank you! yes would love to share my approach on growth/development. currently going through quarter life crisis tbh so will def share how i'm navigating that + my career planning
Love your video!!! Struggling with my work right now, and I was majoring business analytics 2 years ago in San Jose. Due to the pandemic, I flew back home, Taiwan💕 Find it very related and plz plz take more videos like this!
Really enjoy watching your videos about work and life.
Very glad I found this channel several weeks ago. Very enjoyable videos to watch.
This is such a great informative video. Keep them coming!
Totally agree with what you mentioned about review and growth, I am an analyst myself too!
It's super amazing to hear about you're staying on top of your growth, your channel growth gona explode too!! :)
Such good genuine vibes in this video! Subscribed! 😎☘️💭💖
Thanks a lot for this video. I am looking forward to becoming a BA and this video has been inspiring but I must admit I did not expect to learn a new recipe for lunch and became obsessed with the whole coffee process and especially the latin music. Thanks!
I am starting a tech role in two weeks and I'm finally in a role where I want to be. It took some time but I am glad with the path I took. The tech role is sales automation where I will work with our bigger tech team so I hope one day I can get even closer to being a BA or more traditional tech role. Love your content!
雖然久久才看一次Lilian的影片
但這次career check真的讓我受用無窮
謝謝妳無私的分享
祝你工作一切順利
Hi Lillian! Thank you again for such informative video on performance appraisal. I’m gonna have mine soon and the tips really helped me to think through what I want out of my career :) thank you so much 😊
Sending support from Hong Kong :) I really love the combination of knowledge and lifestyle sharing in your videos, really useful for workplace newbies👍💕
Currently enrolled in a BA Bootcamp, almost done🙌🏽 honestly been enjoying your content so much!
thank you! so cool that you're doing a bootcamp - goodluck with your BA journey!
great video as always, thanks for sharing your strategies on how to do the performance review with the manager, it help, and happy new working week!
thank you so much raiden!
Thank you for making this video I really want to go back to school to get a business analyst degree so excited
Thank you for making these informative and interesting videos on your BA role Lillian! You’ve gained a new subscriber here 😃
Also curious which tool you use to file taxes and if you would recommend it?
Hi Lillian, great video! Can you make more videos about how to become a business analyst? e.g.: strategy, tactics and tools you use along the way. Thanks heaps.
It seems like you are happy working and enjoying your life everyday, very good situation!
Loved to hear about your productive day...
Love your vlogs
Im so proud that you love Pad see ew and papaya salad which is food from Thai 😂🎉❤
My perf review is coming soon, I am appreciated for the tip you shared on this video.
Congratulation on your new salary🎉!
Very helpful tips on approaching performance reviews. Will look to implement this soon!
thank you! hope yours go well !
I've always wondered what skills you're supposed to have as a BA. It feels like you have to understand multiple domains such as the business and the software to do your job well. I guess you need to be adaptable and enjoy doing that kind of work that makes you a jack of all trades.
很喜歡聽妳說英文好療癒~~ 這一集對於剛出社會的我學到了很多3QQ🧡
Look forward to more videos!!!!
I also love Kirsty Godso’s program on NTC, but have been having trouble finding something similarly effective and motivating. What are some of your other favorite workout routines?
Today, All of sudden I missed your channel and thought why ain't she uploading any videos?? Then, I visited your channel, there were two fresh videos also realised that I haven't pressed the bell 🔔 button. [ Bell Button ✅ ]
I tried to make the cucumber dish today, now I’ll like to have it everyday too! ☺️
Those vlogs are cool and inspiring, thanks for keep doing it. Hi from Brazil! 🇧🇷 ☺
thank you! ah i love brazil when i visited 2 years ago, pao de queijo is sooo good i rmbr eating it for breakfast and lunch and dinner and snack LOL haha
Hey Lillian, would love to see your home office set up. I just recently started working from home so if you can make any productivity video that would be awesome too. Fellow Taiwanese from Vancouver!
Every time I watch your video, it becomes clearer to me that I wanna become a business analyst too in future. However, I do find these day in a life of a business analyst kind of videos slightly too much though 😅 I know this type of videos give you most views, but maybe something like Q&A or other format? Looking forward to your upcoming videos!
thank you celine! thank you for your insight! was scared that no one would have questions for me 😅 but i should def give it a try !!
@@LillianChiu101 i already have a question for you🙈 just waiting for you to officially 'open the ground' through ur social media
Hello, Lillian chiu
I really enjoy your video a good motivation for me because I am also learning and working data science from last 2 year and searching for internship or job and don't know how to find.
hi, im currently on the look out for a work chair. where did you get yours?
Her videos are my favourite!! ❤️❤️😘
Hey Lilian….Sending love all the way Malaysia❤️❤️
As a BA in companies like Spotify - what would you say is the most important practical skills? sql or python?
5:21 Thank you so much🥺
Though I haven’t started working yet, I often feel guilty for these kind of things in my daily life. Wish I can be better just like you someday ><
( Sorry that English is not my tongue language. Hope my expression is fine 🤣)
I really enjoy watching your video! Followed and expect more :)
Best wishes for you 🍀
Patty :)
Ps. 開始補追頻道上的其他影片

Hello!! Wonderfull your videos in first place. But a have a question about your work. How you can use for example Sql server and others data softwares if you using a macOS system?. I love Apple and macbooks but they don´t get well with same programs.
can you make a video about the camera gear you use? 😃
非常感謝妳分享影片，我非常喜歡妳的影片，讓我學習到生活模式。
影片使我向你妳學習，把生活過得很棒。
無論是「工作、料理、運動、影片」一樣是台灣女生覺得驕傲！
這次的價值觀的分享也好棒，讓我重新對要求加薪有了新的想法，謝謝你的影片，加油！希望你能持續創作和分享。
不要被不好的評論影響心情，因為 CZcamsr 最容易受到影響的可能是這一塊，外在評論、和負面，希望能強大自己的內心不受影響繼續堅持。
Want say again. Your video it's really inspire me not only lifestyle but also optimism mind, so am I want working at different country. When I feel a little bit no power I'll watch your video to push myself.
Expect your youtube channel update, have a good day : ' ) .
非常喜歡你的影片！對於您提供的工作方法與分享收穫良多～全英文頻道（可以順便練習聽力和口說的用字遣詞）又貼近生活，希望可以常常看到更新♥
Helloo Lillian😁!!, thank you for using our song "un bolero" for your video🥺❤️, we appreciate it🙏🏻
thank you!!!! love your song 🥺

hi lillian! this is my first time leaving a comment on a youtuber's vlog :)
I truly enjoy and appreciate how you are incorporating some of the communication tips & soft skills in between your vlogs :)

@@LillianChiu101 oops my cp stance got exposed lol 🤣 yay super excited the two is getting married 🥰
what camera/lens do you use? do you have an affiliate link?
How wide is your desk? I’m looking to buy one really soon
Deffo worth a million thumb-up!
What do you make now? Salary transparent is important
from where u get those presentation slides or data from where will u extract form the data base using sql or any other person will send u the data in excel sheets??
what decaf coffee beans do you use?
Ask, ask, ask. A number of years ago I was offered like a 2% increase and I stated that since it was basically nothing I rejected it and said to give me a 0% raise. My manager came back a couple of days later and offered me a 7% increase. You have to be bold😎.
i love that!! agreed 1000%.
Is the apple mouse easy to use?
what did you use for the foot soak
How do you do sql is there a specific platform you use to run queries?
second 🎉🎉
First ♥️♥️
Thank you Lillian! My performance review is in two days and your tips will help me so much with preparation.
thank you!! hope yours went well!
What a Amazing day
好喜歡Lillian的腔調
希望可以分享如何改善口音🥹
Hi Lillian, can you help me about how to navigate for business analyst job in the US... I'm from India and I'm working in the same job profile
Just wanted to say thanks for the tips and I absolutely enjoyed your vid! Just wondering whether your manager knows what you do for your vlog and how they feel about this? I wanted to start a very similar channel to share daily life and experiences but I work in the office the majority of the time instead of at home, so if I film myself do you think I should talk to my manager first? Any experience to share regarding this would be appreciated. Cheers!
thank you! it honestly depends on your company - I know every company has different stances & policies in place. I'd recommend checking up on that and at the end of the day it's up to you if you want to have that conversation with your manager, but I'd say definitely be prepared that anything that goes on the internet there are high chances people from work will eventually see haha!
Hi, I wanna know your LG monitor number model at 3:55. Thanks
wtf im speachless what r u doing with the cucumber ? lol never seen this befor in my entire life and 100% thought i would never ever see this but what the hell? i hope u dont throw it away :o - beside that good video lol
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.

Hi I have a Business Analyst interview coming up with a SAAS. Any suggestions and recommendations for prep beforehand would be useful from you and anyone in the comment feed. :)
Hello, just found your channel and absolutely enjoy your videos.😍 I’ll be going for my masters in Business Analytics and have been consumed with the thought that it might not actually be a good career path but watching this has reassured me. Please Do you have any idea of the job market is in the UK for international students going for Business Analysis
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!!
@@LillianChiu101 Thank you so much ❤️
hahaha 12:06 blows on the papaya salad
Your video content is golden 滿滿乾貨但又輕鬆
Hi Lilian,
Trust that you're good.
Could you be so kind as to letting me know what the pay range for a BA in Spotify it?? Both as fresh college graduate or an experienced BA.
I am asking for a friend.
thank you! you can get a good sense of pay range on Glassdoor + Level.fyi !
Hi, I'm a senior graduating with a major in Business Administration and minor in Data Science. BA at Spotify is exactly the kind of role I am looking for. Does Spotify hire new grads from undergrad for the BA role or is it an experienced hire? Thanks!
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!
Is your performance review yearly?

3:13 nice slide !
Hi Lillian! Are Spotify business analysts usually work from home?
Spotify has the Work From Anywhere program so we can choose either remote (majority of the week at home) or in-office (majority of the week at office). so i chose remote. more info here! www.lifeatspotify.com/being-here/work-from-anywhere
