Google NYC Office: Noogler Lessons Learned

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!

Work Day In My Life as a Google Solutions Architect in NYC | Working From Home, Cats, Broadway Show

cwong0102Leave a comment

I finally have ramped up to client work after 3-4 months of being a Noogler (but we’re all technically still Nooglers!) as a Google Advertising Solutions Architect in Google Shopping, and this is an accurate depiction of my work day in my life at home at work, being a cat sitter and a cat parent, and going out for the Broadway Show, POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive at night! Thank you, Hydragun, for sponsoring this video!

Hydragun was perfect for me as someone who is always on the go in the office, around the city as a big walker, and also as someone who works from home at a desk. It’s surprisingly quiet that no one heard me through my work calls, and there are so many applicators depending on where you would want to use your Hydragun and also if you wanted to apply lotions and oils as well!

Smart Glasses have always been something people are interested in but not sure if it’s really necessary, but I was also curious and tried out the Razer Anzu Smart Glasses for a whole work day at the Google office! I wasn’t sure how it would fare with blue light and polarized replaceable lenses, earphones, and mic, but watch the video to see how it went!
