I constantly preach about technology consulting as an amazing career and option for many people to discover your love within technology or through many projects, clients, and industries, but there are still reasons why technology consulting might not be for you. I can only come up with three SPECIFIC to technology consulting and not other types of consulting.
If you are debating between consulting disciplines or just other career paths within tech in general, this is the video for you!
I met Caitlin Jones a year ago when I was apprehensive towards group fitness classes. Especially when I never did spin classes before! Caitlin was my very first spin instructor at Flywheel, and I was HOOKED! I loved her energy and has been following her ever since! Due to the pandemic, the fitness industry changed a lot, and I caught up with her on what she’s been up to. I didn’t even know about half of what she’s done until I sat down with her for this episode! There is also a huge focus on mental & emotional health and happiness on this episode, so you don’t want to miss this!
Caitlin graduated with a degree in business from Carnegie Mellon University, became a dancer for the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA to pursue her passion in dance, and while doing so also worked at Flywheel and WillyB Crossfit! She also invests in real estate as well which I found was incredibly interesting! During the pandemic, she became her own boss with her own online fitness program and personal training!
I’ve made my fair share of mistakes that at first seem harmless but can have much bigger negative impacts in the workplace! Either to clients, your team, or even yourself!
I notice the more work and stress I get, the more mistakes I’m prone to. Unfortunately, even mistakes in your respective areas that you didn’t make are still your responsibility and I learned that this week.
What are some mistakes you made at work?
Follow me on the rest of our real estate journey! We bought a condo in New York City during the COVID19 pandemic, and this is our closing process! I go in depth in terms of what exactly the process was for us in NYC for a condo during the pandemic. Your process may be very different compared to ours based off of location and the type of property you are purchasing. Here is my process and hopefully this gives you more insights to how it is!
New podcast episode! So excited to announce that I am finally monetized on YouTube, so I wanted to talk about my journey this year on my podcast!
This is a casual and fun mukbang with Addison Chen to talk about my journey on YouTube in 2020. I started back in May, and so much has happened, I even hit 1000+ subscribers! From why I did YouTube, what were my favorite and least favorite videos to make, and some tips and behind the scenes of everything.
My boyfriend, Addison Chen, and I moved into our New York City condo! We bought our condo in our 20s during the pandemic and finally closed! This vlog will show you an empty apartment tour! I have another video specifically on the aftermath where we are done with all our updates and furnishing to make it our own home. In addition, moving with cats is always harder than it looks, so I showed you how we did it! Lastly, we did a small little snippet on what we bought from Trader Joe’s. This was actually our first time shopping there! We finally live near one!

So many people wonder how I manage my time with a full time job in technology consulting, being serious about my YouTube channel, podcast, and the Technology Consulting Community while staying sane and prioritizing my mental and emotional health.
What were some of your tips on how you manage your time?
Oh boy, this will be an interesting story. There are some secrets I’ve never told many people either! Everyone talks about how amazing their jobs and internships are, but rarely does anyone talk about the true rejection stories behind the success. Before becoming a technology consultant at Accenture, I faced a lot of rejections and wanted to share them all to you so you can learn from my mistakes!
I dig deep to all my rejections from freshman through senior year of college on why I got rejected, how I felt, and what I did. Some of it is very personal, so please be gentle with me! I wanted to share this with you to show you you’re not alone and you can still get a well paying job in a top company after graduation despite many odds!
What were some job and internship rejections you had and how you got out of it? This can be a sensitive topic as most attribute a rejection as “something wrong with you,” but it really isn’t! You just need to keep pushing through and you will prevail. That dream job is waiting for you!
My boyfriend, Addison Chen, and I bought a condo in Brooklyn! We are so excited, but we know we are also extremely privileged to be able to do this in our 20s. Many young working professionals I know don’t really know much about money, so in this episode, my boyfriend Addison and I talk about renting vs. buying, how to save for a house, and our home buying experience. It has always been the American dream to buy your own house, have your own family, have some dogs running around in the field, but is that really feasible anymore? We talk about how everything has changed for our generation.
