Is the master’s degree worth it?

September 9, 2022September 9, 2022 cwong0102Leave a comment

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?

Google NYC Office: Noogler Lessons Learned

July 8, 2022 cwong0102Leave a comment

I took @addisonjchen to the Google office! We’re finally allowed social guests in the NYC office! Took this photo at the rooftop terrace on 9th Ave’s 14th floor with sweeping views of NYC skyline and beautiful weather.

Lessons I learned so far:
⭐️ Embrace being new! Being an experienced hire this time around, I felt pressured to know a lot on the get go, but it’s okay to just start all over! Every company does things differently and take your time.
⭐️ Explore and learn as much as you can! The offices, the culture, the people, the work, the crossfunctional teams, the workshops and courses, everything!
⭐️ It really is what you make of it! If you are not proactive, there will be missed opportunities. Jump on it and ask what you can work on or try out or even shadow before being asked to!

Lots more coming in a video soon!

For a while, I thought my podcast was not that helpful (other than the career coaching segments), but my podcast has recently made the Best 60 Women in Tech podcasts under Feed Spot!

FAQ In Consulting

May 6, 2022 cwong0102Leave a comment

These are the three most common questions I get about consulting! The difficult part about consulting is that your experience really differs by location, firm, area and specialty. Ask anyone and they will say “it depends!“ These are generalized answers and I always recommend you to network to get a holistic view for your targeted area!

It is also excellent for people who are still trying to figure out what they want to do! I actually did consulting to figure out what I wanted to do with tech while having exposure to many different companies, industries and people!

Make sure to check out my video on YouTube if you want to learn everything about my experience at Accenture! I’m just one datapoint so make sure to network around and do your research!

My Tips on Salary Negotiation

April 15, 2022 cwong0102Leave a comment

Interviewing for a job is always nerve wracking but the part I honestly find the most nerve wracking is the salary discussions and negotiations because what if you said something wrong or screwed up your future earning potential? Know your worth! No one taught me this but I had to learn and research this on my own as well as attended Shang’s workshop! P.S. she has a course on salary negotiations! Check her out! https://lnkd.in/dXmNYBBh

Here are the three biggest tips I found the most helpful so I wanted to share it for everyone who is going through salary negotiation! It’s a lot of preparation and research ahead of time so you know what you’re working with! You wouldn’t go into an interview blind would you so don’t go into the “salary expectations” or salary negotiation process blind either!

Comment down below on tips you have for others as well! We all can improve!

I’m Officially a Noogler!

April 15, 2022 cwong0102Leave a comment

I’m officially a Noogler at @google with my lil Noogler hat! It’s been a long time coming, but going into the office the past few weeks in my new role in gTech Professional Services for Shopping Advertising Solutions Architect in the New York Office has been a dream!

Over the past few weeks I went to over 5 offices and met so many of my amazing and talented teammates, and I’m happy to be here to take everything in and learn as much as I can!

P.S. I guess my head is too small because this hat is huge even on its smallest configuration 😂
