Addison Chen and I bought a condo together in 2020 in our our early 20s, and before that we rented an apartment together, so we talked about how we handle our finances from how we budget, how we split our income (if we do), handle our expenses, and soooo many questions we have for you guys!
How do you and your SO handle your money as a couple? What if someone uses more toilet paper than the other or wants something much more expensive than you’re comfortable buying (like a TV)?!

I met Brian five years ago when we both founded our own chapters in our respective schools. While I was at Boston University, he was at UC Riverside! He has always been interested in entrepreneurship and startups and it ultimately led him to become a product marketing manager in a Silicon Valley startup in hopes to one day go to graduate school and found his own startup. If you’re very interested in startups, this is the perfect episode for you as he has over three years of experience in tech startups in Silicon Valley!
This is one everyone wonders about but doesn’t talk about. Even though I’m a technology consultant at Accenture, I do know the general structure of salaries and compensation for most firms after talking to many of my peers in other firms. I’m going to give a breakdown of what really makes up salaries and compensation for consultants, analyzing Management Consulted’s 2021 Salary Report, go over some misconceptions about the salaries and compensation for consultants, and how you can raise your worth in consulting. This will not go over how to get promoted as that would make it a much longer video, but that video is coming up, so make sure to subscribe!

Due to my real estate journey, many have asked me why we decided to stay in New York City, and the question is always “Is New York City worth it?” In this video, I tell you 5 things you need to think about before moving to NYC in 2021! My New York pride kicks in, but I know that depending on who you are, it’s not always worth it, so I go over who would and who wouldn’t enjoy New York City. Maybe this would help you out with making a decision! Especially with the pandemic, more and more people are reevaluating if that’s the right move.
You guys know I love Suits! One of the main reasons I love it (past the corruption 😂) is because it truly shows how people who believe in themselves and keep working on it despite the “rules and limitations” persevere and prevail. I actually had a glass ceiling implemented by my own family. They said I shouldn’t go into tech. They even said I shouldn’t go to college, just get married and have kids. Luckily I have some in my family who believed in me but if you heard this at a very young age, anyone would get discouraged and I was.
Luckily I surrounded myself around motivated strong women who were so determined to break the mold and break free. It definitely helped me take steps I normally would have shied away such as meeting new people, being in tech, being in male dominant industries, starting a YouTube channel, talking about “taboo topics” on my podcast, and just openly discussing many topics that need to be said to help other women who were in my shoes to win a no win situation by rewriting the rules.
You have to just do it. Do it for yourself.

In this video, I go over how I exactly write my thank you emails and make it a GREAT thank you email! A really good thank you email can help your case, but a GREAT thank you email might actually overturn a decision or land you that offer! In this video, I actually show you my thank you email during the Accenture interview process.
