Hi friends! I'm Jenn. I spent the first two decades of my life in Beijing then Toronto before moving my entire existence to Seattle for some guy I met on Tinder. My immigrant parents were not pleased.
It's been a minute since then and now we have a dog and the cutest toddler with the largest head (big heads run in the fam) This channel will be snippets of me navigating life as a working mom in tech while probably having way too much to say on everything mental health and motherhood.
Oh, and I really, really like food. Good thing that Tinder husband of mine likes to cook.

everything you need to know before joining a start up
With layoffs making the job market absolutely insane, a big question is whether start-ups are safe and a viable choice when you're going through your job search process. Here, I draw on both my partner's and my personal experience from interviewing with dozens & dozens of start-ups for everything you should know when you're making your decision.

BUYING YOUR FIRST HOUSE: what you ~really~ should know

Home ownership is freakin' complicated. These are the most important things I wish I knew before we bought our forever home. We didn't know any of this before we bought our first townhome, and found these out the hard way when we got our home where we had our son. Let me know in a comment below what questions you have and/or what surprised you the most when you bought your first house! 00:00 so...

I worry about people in the Tech field… I think AI is going to just gobble up all those jobs… It doesn’t ask for time off doesn’t ever sleep and it doesn’t need a paycheck
Great job!
Omg. I got laid off right before my birthday too! But unfortunately there's no such thing as unemployment benefits where i live.
Totally feel you. We only hear about the glitz and glamour of the successful ones.
Thank you for this video Jenn. I have been out of work for a long time from tech. There are things here I can incorporate going forward.
How about be a stay at home mom for awhile and raise your kid.
Damn shouldn’t drive and pick videos to listen to while you drive. I thought it said it said she got laid.
Thank you
8:14 - "what skills are in demand" - this is really important. ;)
Although it may seem like it, getting laid off is not the end of world. Treat your job search as your job. Take whatever training you can get or need to keep your skills up to date. However, if you are manager or owner, don't inform your employees they have been laid off over voicemail. That's the coward's way out and it can impact you when you are trying to retain or hire new employees since they can do the same background check that you perform on them. It would be better to tell the person ahead of time and in person. If that's not possible then at least try to tell them directly over the phone. I have been laid off a few times over my career, but at least none of my managers did it over email or voicemail.
Dang, I read the top of the thumbnail and was like " WOAH" then read the rest and was like " ok..makes sense" lol
Hi mam you gave such a awesome tips , thanks
you seem a few years out of college, let me share my experience. it is easy to tie your identity to your job so it hurts being laid off. with time the hurt heals and you will be in a better place in the future. keep skilling up and networking.
ME TOO
Thanks for the video! Startups are so tricky when deciding whether to join 😮
P R O M O S M
I subscribed to your channel and liked your video. Thanks for providing valuable insights and tips. You seem a very likable person, too. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words! Really happy to be able to help ❤️
The way the thumbnail reads is "I got laid" and then after a bit your brain sees the rest
L O L man not sure if anyone would believe me when I say I literally didn’t see it when I reviewed the thumbnail
would love to know how you would handle a situation where the company has multiple candidates past the final round, and you're not sure how far to push the compensation (in case they pass the offer to other candidates)
Great question - if they extended you an offer, there's a low chance the recruiter will simply extend an offer to another candidate immediately without consulting you after you push the comp and they say no. So I would say push as if you would if there were no other candidates, within limits (maybe just 2 rounds at most)
@@seattlejenn what is your job title? :)
Thank you so much for this. This is literally my exact same situation. I should’ve applied for jobs months ago when they announced the company wasn’t doing well. Watching this video gave me a lot of guidance, as this is my first time experiencing getting laid off
I'm 100% certain you will make the best out of this experience ❤
@@seattlejenn thank you so much ❤ I have my good and bad days, but Im pushing through
Wish I knew this when I was talking to recruiters!
Been looking into houses and saw your video! Great tips but had one concern. Regarding ARM, isn't it still risky enough where the cons outweigh the pros? Just recently, we saw how rates have basically tripled since the pandemic with the Fed still looking to raise rates to curb inflation (albeit a current pause due to bank current events). Even if my first house isn't most likely going to be my permanent house, what are the chances I would pay more if I did an ARM now over a fixed rate and the Fed kept on doing 50bps to tackle inflation (especially as Jerome Powell has made it clear that he prioritizes curbing inflation over the current economic state)?
These are good points! Since financial decisions are super personal, I can see how for some people the premium paid for a peace of mind is worth it. But looking back at my own personal experience where I initially got a 30 year mortgage for my first home, it turned out to have been a mistake as I refinanced a few times after to take advantage of higher rates. We'll see about my current house as we went with an ARM what the interest rates will be when the fixed period is over :O
Thanks so much for sharing your experience ( love your About intro, especially the part with food and tinder) and job search journey! This content is v helpful and encouraging. I wish there is a community around my area with women like you willingly to share the career/life journey. I'm in the tech field, took a gap year, and started job hunting early this year. I'm interested in transition from a technical role ( I was doing TAM/SE) into program manager field. Would you mind to share and advise how to tap into program manager position? Thanks so much and keep up the great work!
Would love a video about how to rate startups
is this IU ? lool
Lol i stopped reading after the first line and I was like wait what?? What kind of video is this hahahaha XD
LOLL I swear I did not do the text that way on purpose 🥲
So organized and informative!!
All are great advices, thank you!
Before you go off in vacation or buy that expensive personal symbol of success you always secretly craved (whether it’s by Prada or Mercedes) make sure you have savings equivalent to at least six months take-home pay. At least! As well as being a safety net, it gives you a feeling of freedom that you need not put up with an awful workplace or colleagues, or pay lower than you feel your work is worth.
My biggest tip is to keep a daily, brief journal, page a day, on what you did at work that day. Often you are acquiring new skills, or taking in new roles, that you get so used to not thinking about, you forget to put these in your resume. The journal is also really, really important to note any interactions that seem either really positive (again, reminding yourself you did good work) but also jot down in a few words any events or interactions that made you ho, “Hmm…”. Not gossip, just your own direct experience/observation.
Do this. It is invaluable and helpful in the most surprising ways (both during the job and after you leave)
Take it from a 60 year old: if you are an employee, you are only an employee. You are ALWAYS dispensible. And often times, interchangeable. It has nothing to do with you as an individual, however good your work was. Once upon a time, companies only sacked groups of when the company was in trouble. Now, it is often because someone new to management has decided to look as if they are making changes. Maybe a startup knows what “roles” - which people or departments - to cut. With corporations, usually nobody in management has a clue what anyone actually does. The euphemisms like “sunset” and “laid off” only make it worse. Do not ever invest your sense of self, or self worth, in a company
Thank you for the thoughtful comments & advice! Hoping others reading this can take away especially the last thing you said here which is separating our self worth from any outcomes, especially outcomes related to careers that are sometimes out of our control.
very informative
Such a tough market out there. so helpful!
What made you decide on 'starting a family'? Would be interesting to learn the motivations behind it as well
That's a really great question! I will keep that in mind for a future video for sure 🤗
I'm curious how people decide how much house they should buy as a percentage of their income?
Depending on the interest rate, when it was lower it used to be I think 3-4x annual income but now it’s more 2-3x 👀
i voluntarily left my role at a large tech company few months ago to take a personal break... and now feeling the nerves getting in to the job market in a recession! Thanks for your practical and common sense advice! It would be great to learn more about how you approached evaluating startups.
That’s awesome you were able to make that decision, must’ve taken a lot of courage but breaks like that are always worth it. I will try to talk about startup eval’s in a future video ❤️
6 months of health insurance..... I got 2 weeks when I was laid off
Ugh, Im' so sorry to hear that, that blows! Mine was continued through COBRA, but it was not done very well and the company made updates to their insurances without letting the laid off folks know, so I essentially ended up losing dental & vision anyway.
The dog is like oh hell no I'm out of the situation at hand 👌
Ive been in the tech world for 40 years, I've gone through many recessions, cut backs etc. I've been let go a few times, any other time it's been my decision. But I'm not sitting on RUclips whining about it like all these fucking snow flakes who don't know what a days work really is. Try to be an adult and not a child.
Informative video! One thing I'd like to ask is if you could include more details such as job position and TC of the offers you've received (doesn't have to be exact numbers)... or would this be disclosed in part 2? It helps out knowing what the market conditions are like and what to expect. For example, I know many ex-FAANG who got laid off and had to settle for much lower TCs when they got offers elsewhere due to current market conditions. Knowing this really helps out people, like myself, on what to expect!
Oh these are really good questions Daniel, I will try to touch on those in part 2!
Looks amazing ❤
Noice song and food🎉❤
Omg when I saw the title of the video I read it as "I got laid from a startup & this is what I learned" I was like that sounds like interesting story, how did that happen? Smh🤦♀️😂
This gave me a solid LOL
Keep these coming please ❤️
