It’s been 6 months since I started my role as a Google Shopping Advertising Solutions Architect at Google, and I purposely waited to make this video so I had a good picture of what exactly does this role entail. A lot of this video is also going to bring comparisons on how this role is similar or different from technology consulting in a traditional consulting firm! Check it out!

Is the master’s degree worth it?





My boyfriend’s and my parents kept talking about us doing master’s degrees because that’s just what Chinese people want from their kids (that and owning a home), but I had to keep telling them that a master’s degree makes no sense for us, so here is my post to those who are on the fence or want to see if master’s even makes sense for you! Note that this research comes from my own peers and asking people who are and aren’t pursuing master’s in diverse fields what they thought and if they regretted it!
Do you want to pursue a master’s degree? Why or why not?

I tried out Amazon Style in Los Angeles! | How it works, My Thoughts & Opinions
I saw Hopescope’s video on Amazon Style in LA, and I had to check it out myself when we were in Glendale!

Wanted to share my experience on this as a separate mini vlog that branched out from my Google ReOrientation Mountain View and LA vlog!
