Wenzes for the first time I had exact the same thing 2 years ago when swapping jobs and doing exactly the same! Projects that couldn’t started in 8 years I performed in 3 months but I couldn’t express in a brief way my accomplishments 😂 thank you very much for the valuable tips!
I’m 23, and have worked various machine shop/automotive maintenance jobs since graduation of high school. Learned a lot brutally and helped me to grow up quick, never have made more than $16/hr, no degree, no debt. Currently doing maintenance for local government and on paper it’s the perfect job for me, but I’d like to make more money and have more job fulfillment. The small tasks give fulfillment, but at the cost of high stress and performance paranoia, constantly being watched and analyzed. I’ve always been interested in agriculture and cars, but I have no formal education and I’m not a natural mechanic, it’s a forced behavior. Would love to use my skills and natural talents to move into a career making around $20-$25/hr.
I've yrs of inventions, from plain to extreams..just put me in a private rm an I can produce inventions every day accept sundays.i do not work,I keep God's commandments. 🕊☺
1 lesson is, vision boards are the way for ME to show how it works for me.another IS I've so much to give like totally busting at the seams to give to the WORLD, I have millions of ideas.but patient offices only allow up to 500 patient's can be from a single idea.that not fair, I got millions of ideas from only 1 ideas,to say the very least....🕊.if interested give me a shout back.thanks.🕊
I have an eclectic view for society and concrete plans to achieve them. I have written a document of 300 pages for it and sent it to an institute. They were happy to have it but there was no budget to do something with it. So, I was quite disappointed. Now I'm starting as a person in a callcenter and really distaste it, even in a way it infects my mental and physical well-being: this is not the way to go. I want to escape, but I don't see other options. I'm drowning, it feels.
Woa this is super weird. I just found out that I’m an INFJ and suddenly everything makes sense. It’s so fun to find many people that think the way I do and struggle with the same problems I’ve been struggling my whole life. I listen to you and I feel like you know me since my entire life.
Nice! exactly happened to me last year the clarity is good and we get to use these tools better!! Remember you cannot make most get it, it is ok, roll with your flow, be excellent, do not try to be not perfect because nobody can be perfect, then and you always win!!
This is the most valuable content for INFJs I have seen so far. I don't have to be a counsellor or social worker..there are OTHER ways. "Stop comparing yourself to others".
Ikrrr it actually discourages me when ppl say we are only good as social workers,counsellor, etc basically all the careers that are underpaid and undervalued
I'm an INFJ, tested. And I definitely want stability and money. When you have nobody paying for your candies you need money. Those who say "oh I don't want money" they depend on someone else.
I love how you mentioned that with INFJs who are willing, working for ourselves can be optimal because workplaces require you to fit into their structure instead of creating your own. Love that Wenzes. Thank you 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I relate to that, too. I stayed at a small company that really benefited from having me streamline their processes and even redecorate all of the offices in my department. It didn't pay as much as I should have been making, but there was a pond outside my desk window and I got to wear a lot of hats (admin asst to the VP, department supervisor, HR, art department, den mother/unofficial counselor, etc). The quality of life was a trade off because I wasn't motivated by money but I need to work on that because filthy lucre is a vehicle to propel my art projects.
ive been in management since 2012. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it pays the bills. My boss wanted to promote me to something even higher because I am good at what I do. BUT during our developement plan he wanted me to develop my "leadership" skills by being more high energy and talk more. I said "alright, gotta stop ya right there. I've done the leadership classes and honestly they're mostly teaching you manipulation techniques and I'm not about that. I'm not going to be high energy nor will I be a gossiping drama queen. I have two ears and one mouth for a reason. I listen because our employees have people talking at them all day long, few listen to them. That's why I'm effective. Putting on the show of being a stereotypical leader doesn't work for me because its not sustainable long term". The look on his face was priceless. He just doesn't get it. Unfortunately for me, ppl in management tend to be narcissistic types and I'm just not like that. They mistaken introversion for social anxiety which are totally different.
As an INFJ, I cared more about having a fullfilling job without loads of overtime. I sacrificed lots of money to be at home with my kiddos more. It payed off and I am at my first 6 figure salary in public service. However, it took a LOT of time and loads of student debt. If I could do it all over again I would have went into starting my own business.
I’m going through a really tough time feeling rejected and unappreciated by my team and I kept thinking that there was something wrong with me. This video is so empowering. Thank you for reminding who I am and what I’m capable of doing!
Don't always examine yourself like that. Us INFJs do tend to fall back on the "what's wrong with me?" You might feel like the square peg in the round hole at work, but have you ever thought of it from the perspective that they're the square pegs? I don't know specifically what's making you unhappy at work, but it is more than likely that the people who work alongside you value your hard work but don't take the time to get to know you. Speaking from experience here- at my last job I felt like I didn't fit in. The best thing I ever did was quit and land a new job where I do feel secure and appreciated. Don't always think your the one at fault. :) good luck with your career journey buddy
You are a blessing for all INFJ who are feeling lost. Normally, we tend to underestimate ourselves because we compare ourselves to sensors who are good at details. We don't have the opportunity to showcase our strongest points such as planning, solving complex problems, and creating systems. And we don't have the proof to show people. So, it really requires confidence first.
I got to know that I'm an INFJ-T just 2 years ago and I suddenly started feeling seen and understood, atleast by people of my own clan. That atleast I'm not the only one who's been going through all of this, that everything that I'm or everything that's been happening to me is totally normal. I feel validated. Feeling leftout, striking in of depression and anxiety whenever I'm pulled into any drama caused by others, not having much friends, not enjoying crowded places or enjoying my own company, Having unexplainable visions, feeling like something wrong is gonna happen before I go out and then feeling like I shouldn't go out, Having nightmares/visions before anything wrong happens. With time, I'm trying to cope up and getting to know myself more and more with each passing day. I wanted to be a doctor but suddenly felt like not doing it anymore. I want to be a professor and contribute my fair share in making the society a little better place to live, by educating the upcoming generations about the changes that we go through, about how knowing about our personality types can actually make a big difference and atleast put a coma to our sufferings if not a full stop. We can do anything if we join hands and accept ourselves completely. I'm 21 y/o and I'm from India. Mental health in India is a taboo and I want to change that perspective first and entering the education field will help me do so. I want everyone to feel seen and to not feel leftout. If not anything then this!
Growing up in a really competitive environment since I was small forced me to do better just like everyone else and everytime when I'm really struggling I would feel disappointed in myself. But you really thought me that I do not have to compare myself with others. I don't have to be insecure with other people's ability where I just can't do it like them, to hate myself why I'm so slow at learning things, to be frustrated when others can catch up a lot faster than me. I just have to observe myself and keep improving myself with my own pace and keep being patient on my personal growth. To believe that I do have a worth just as everyone else and I just have to find that in order to bring it up on the table when it's needed. Thank you so much for this wisdom, really appreciate it.
What if ur actually bad with people?😅 like I want to help ppl more than anything..but at the same time..ppl scare me alot and my anxiaty is crazy..so I'm kinda stuck
I've read somewhere INFJ doesn't really relate with shyness or anxiety, both of it is cause by an individual past experiences. Social interaction is a skill that we can develop or learn. Not all extrovert is socially confident, some extroverted is also have shyness and anxiety like us. It depends on us how to control or delete that type of habit. Sorry if my compliments seems harsh.
@Mint While I understand why this is what you believe, I would think about what it means to imply that x-type doesn’t relate to y-mental illness. Any individual of any type can suffer from mental illness. Myers Briggs is a type theory not a trait theory (one example of a trait theory is the Big 5). As such, it cannot really tell you anything about how gregarious or how reserved a person will be. If this individual is an INFJ who suffers from fear related to people and anxiety, then there is an INFJ who does relate to shyness and anxiety. @Brian Sometimes the skill of being hyper-aware of social dynamics and psychology can backfire and become very overwhelming. It’s okay not to have perfect social interactions with people. You don’t have to help everyone and sometimes just being there for your close friends and family is enough to be a great help. Even focusing on yourself for a while and taking small steps to ease your anxiety will help a lot in the long run - both in your personal and work lives. There are a lot of resources out there for advice on managing anxiety.
@@violyss9274 I understand and i am aware that Myers Briggs and Big 5 is just a trait theory and mental illness is a realistic diseases. But what i am trying to explain is Introversion is a person who is recharge with solitude on our own imaginary world and Extroversion is a person who is recharge by collecting other's social interactional thought. For clearer thought of mine is take an example an old man. Do ALL old people has been diagnosed having a serious disease.? Obviously not, but do majority of old people has been diagnosed having a serious disease.? Based on global statistic, the answer is yes. Get it.? Not ALL Introvert has anxiety or shyness, no. As you nay know Elon Musk, Nelson Mandela, and Simon Sinek all of them is Introvert that doesn't have an anxiety. But do many of Introvert has shyness or social anxiety based on global statistic.? Ofcourse yes, but it is not said that mental ilnesses is a part of Introvert or INFJ Identity (atleast yet), what I am trying to say is ALL mental illnesses has a solution to get rid of it, mental ilnesses is a diseases and disease has their own specific way to heal from it. I also understand that not ALL diseases have a solution to get heal with it, but I also aware that shyness and anxiety is not a chronic disease, it can be heal. On of the tip to recover from it is: "FEAR = Feeling Excited And Ready" I used it to against my negative thought whenever I feel anxiety. It is maybe seems childish but atleast it is worked for me, an Introvert with shit childhood.
This was soo empowering! Just finishing business school now, I’ve often doubted myself and lost my confidence when people are implying or directly telling me that I need to be willing to sacrifice my health and personal life in order to have a successful corporate career, but at the same time I also DID bring a lot of value to my internships and apprenticeships (and people recognize that!), just not in the sense that I could regularly work a ton of overtime without quickly burning out. I realised with this video that I DO know my value deep down and just need to find the right fit for me and be confident in my own value even though it’s not the same as other people’s 🥰
28 and I stretched myself so thin, giving my all and doing everything employers asked of me, I worked really hard and long hours, then lost my job in October because the owner decided to hit the breaks due to the pandemic, and concentrate on a different branch of the business. I did everything at that job, from cleaning to counseling to website management and so on. Now I am depressed because it seems that most employers don't even listen to what I say during interviews (among other things) and even situations where they understood the exact opposite of what I've said (i.e. I said I want my next job to be where I spend at least the next 5 years so I can grow and develop myself with and within the company, then I was told that they don't want me because they want someone who wants to be with them long term). Your video gives me a bit of hope. Now I just need to find a job and a way out of the depressive episode. I really want to do more, to grow, learn, teach and counsel within a company (or school/uni/ngo), but it feels like no one wants to give me a chance. Sorry for the long comment, I needed to get this out of my system.
Companies and jobs will use you. The more you do the more they take. Chalk it up as a lesson well learned and never do it again. It is smarter to not be exceptional but to be a networker and a schmoozer - which we INFJs as social chameleons can do. But only ever give your all like you did in that job to yourself. They didn't appreciate you, none of them will. They're work. You're always a step away from being replaced. It is a hard lesson, but I hope you take that energy to build yourself up and flourish. Take care!
“Sorry for the long comment, I needed to get this out of my system”. This must be an infj thing bc I type long paragraphs working through my thoughts all the time and then at the end say “sorry I just needed to put how I’m feeling into words and see it on a screen” or something like that lol. Good luck on your journey & props to you for being yourself & perserving. You’ve got this
how are you now, friend? I had similar feelings on a job and I think I've healed a lot, but I'm honing on where I'm going to go from now on. How's life been for you?
I have been thinking a lot about this video. I loved the principle that you taught : when you do a good job in the corporate world, you develop the self esteem and confidence to have similar results when you start your own business. If you never give 100% to your corporate job, you'll not reap 100% from your entrepreneur world. Agree?
Yes 👍😊...of course in regards to one‘s own capacity. I was never able to work for 10hours a day how my colleagues could and I can‘t expect myself to be brilliant in areas that just aren‘t my exptertise. But I definitely changed my approach from: what is the smallest amount of work I can put in to: how can I maximize my effort because that in itself makes me feel good
@@Wenzes Can you make a video explaining how many services/products you have now, bread down revenue from each and how you have built your pipeline/traffic for each? I think a lot of us would love to see it how it actually works, so that we can set clear goals and strategy to get there. Thank you for the amazing content!
Carpenter. Get to use creativity, math, pictures, hands, it's logical. Get to stay in my head and be at peace all day, not too much human interaction. I've been very happy building things for the last 4 years.
I just watched another one of your videos about INFJ's and dating. And, I'm just so glad you make this content. It's been a long time coming, but I've finally found it.
ive been doing sales type work for the last 3 years and literally have watched the life and enthusiasm therein be sucked away.... Art and Acting are the pathways for me, dont need to make it big. Just enough to leave a positive impact and make enough money to raise a family...
I needed this today. I work in a media company in the sphere of Content. I didn't enjoy content creation as much and quickly realised that I needed to get promoted to a manager role ASAP. As time passed, I began to understand the difficulties Content Managers have when it comes to planning, organising and executing, and so started working on RPA (Robotic Process Automation) systems that can help my team members do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. A few months ago, my systems caught the eye of my Regional VP and now I am full-time building these systems to help the team's performance. The issue I am having now is burnout. What used to be a side project to help me do my work better is now in demand and expectations are high. I find myself in a sink or swim moment: If this works out, I'll be rolling in it while doing something I enjoy, that's helping people and can be respected. Or there's the cliff. Wish me luck 😅
18:15 "I want to get out into the big world" I am 18 and that's exactly how I'm feeling. And everything you said afterwards is exactly like what's happening to me and I feel like your channel is a gift for me. I wanted to be an architect but because of the situations, I'm studying IT now and I feel like I have lost my passion. But after listening to your words, makes me realize it's not like that at all. And I think I am going to make the most out of my time as IT student too.
@@rwzmaf894 37 year old INFJ in IT here and hoping to shed some light. I enjoy the problem solving of IT and the fact that bosses tend to leave you alone to do your own thing. BUT, the beginning stages of IT usually is help desk where you receive phone calls and tickets and are constantly on the phone with people solving issues. It's NOT very good for the INFJ but it can be great in that as long as you keep in mind that you won't be doing it forever, it's a much needed skill for infj's that we wouldn't learn if we weren't "Forced." Personally, I'm now much more interested in my own businesses but IT gives me a career to fall back on so I'm able to do it while my businesses grow. I guess my main advice (and advice I'd tell my younger self if I did things over) would be, if you're already in IT, INFJ's definitely have the capacity to do it, and you should go for it, then work on the thing you'd RATHER do on the side. If you're like me, you'll NEVER be happy in a regular career anyways no matter what you pick, so pick a career to pay your bills, then work on having 4-5 income streams that you enjoy on the side until you make at least double what you're making in your career. Hope this helps!
I have a hard time presenting my value in interviews with bigger organizations. A lot of them expected me to answer ridiculously detailed questions on the spot and my head just doesn't think in detail. My talent is more inclined to the bigger picture by creating connections and systems to simplify scattered information and make it easy to access. I don't know how to present this in interviews with HR when all they want is another clone of people they already have.
I love this talk. It makes complete sense to me, especially the part about following the people who value you. Seems like common sense,and I think we INFJ tend to do that, but we get swayed by what other people's values and lose sight of our own value.
Start your own business! If you were able to push yourself so far you will also have the strength to heal others in a way that is in alignment with your soul....I hope the second video helps you
@@Wenzes Thank you, yes that has been the plan! But I'm seeing my finances become unstable as I invest in my business and see little return. So may consider being employed as a lab tech or something to build up financial cushion
@@Viper4ever05 it's not a secret at all and isn't very unique. I was going to follow a simple business model of building a private practice as a solo doctor doing holistic medicine and doing cash pay instead of billing through insurance.
I hope you've found a niche. You might also consider being a pharmacist, or something else in the pharmaceutical industry. I found lab work very rewarding.
I never tell people how much money I make it's none of their business whether I'm proud of it or not I just say I had a really good month I really needed it thank you.
I just knew I’m an INFJ after finding your channel! You made me understand myself very well, I always thought there’s something wrong with me and why am I different and so complex. Now I know it’s a personality type and I’m not alone.
I'm an INFJ-A and I found I quite good at advertising. At work, I was assigned in production (digital art) and already doing it well. After a year's worth of company attempts to breach into facebook ads ( this was 10 years ago), I quickly put together a video with my own vision. It turned the account from bleeding money everywhere to bringing in $10,000 / day. It ran continuously for four years and the ones who later bought the company ran it again. But because the back-end weren't the same people, it slowly faded away. I confirm that this isn't an abuse to get ahead; these are the skills we're naturally equipped with - bring order to chaos.
OMG! This is a life changing video! I've always had some of the things you've said in the back of my mind, but you're just confirming it for me and making me excited about it. In the IT world, I shine when creating systems or coming up with interesting ways of presenting easily-understandable data and user interface, but sadly I'm also stuck in maintaining these systems, boring paperwork and have no way to use my ability to connect with people. Your video inspires me to search for ways to ONLY do the things I find interesting and easy and especially to make it clear during the interview process what I will and will not do for the job and what I can bring to the table. I think I'm going to go for manager work in startups or new departments, because like you I think that's where I'm good at...
Relentless INFJ making six figures since 2005 (except in 2019) Information Technology & Cybersecurity aren't going away...and if you can follow the patterns in the stock market...🤑🤑🤑
@@gykg3202 well listen. Your in Hungary now but you will be in Austria later and a better country after that!. Right :):) there is still much opportunity you know it.
I just realized my personal type was INFJ. I tend to help but end up to be betray. If I tend to let it be, sometimes I got trapped. To be precise, I prefer to trust my instinct & self intuition. If I achieve my financial target, I got lost what to do to make the rite things that anything make things better. In my reason I feel better if I'm sharing my achievements, but sometimes other would says " not yet grow up " , " waster " , then I realised I shud decided to believe my ability , I can turn day to night, night to day . And to be clear, the purposes of INFJ lived in this world is " Pretend To Be Poor & Lay Low ". If you didn't liked criticism for INFJ , then show them like u re not doing anything. PEOPLE SAY YOU LAZY PEOPLE WILL SAYS OVER CONFIDENTIAL PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE LOSER DIDNT SEEK FOR JOBS. This are the typical situation where INFJ will be faced. So the solutions is : Care about yourself. Don't seek attention by Sacrificing your value and ability as well as pride. You will get the answer those who come without our attention mean that the one to be faith with.
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m about to separate from the military and pursue a career investing in my artistry through film/music/writing. And I’m Nervous but mostly excited because I know my souls purpose and life’s mission is to Heal Teach and Empower and I know As long as I follow my gut I will be able live on my own terms without constant worry about security. This man video really cemented my resolve and I’m infinitely grateful. Thank you again so much!!!
A manager of mine actually thought I was being rude when I told them documentation wasn't something I wanted to do. It didn't fit his idea of the ideal employee. And neither did I, for that matter.
I'm so happy I stumbled in your channel, I didn't think much about my personality when choosing my career. I was definitely neglecting my creative passions when I didn't have an outlet outside of my job and I always feeling unfulfilled
Wow.. I can relate to this video on so many levels like what the hell. Since I started my career in finance I always had this long term goal that I want to retire from the corporate world by the time I turn 50 so that I can actually do people oriented jobs like working in an charity and discover myself through art. And I thought of using my corporate job to get there by earning money and investing it so that I can retire faster. But I kept struggling with the fact that my job wasn't meaningful nor added anything to society and I kept questioning myself. Also my bosses used to compare me with other colleagues saying that I lacked those detail oriented skills. I thought a lot about quitting and getting into psychology to help people or becoming a coach. Until I got hired in my new company. In this company I can really connect to my bosses and I can see my manager wants to see me win. She sees potential in me and wants me to develop. They are not scared to give me responsabilities saying that I had both technical skills and interpersonal skills. That I can put myself in other people's shoes and make them comfortable. And now I am working on projects where I create systems and procedures taking into account information from all of our departments. And to my surprise I am actually good at this and I love working on these complex subjects. I thought I lacked a lot of these corporate skills but they saw my potential and even though I still want to get into a people oriented job I love what I am doing right now. In the end I know that once I feel like I've reached my limits there I will quit this job. Because I want to keep growing and get close to my goals. I believe that what INFJs want in the end is to feel valued and to help others and we can do that in so many settings without having to compromise ourselves. You're brilliant Wenzes ;)
Wes I assume that you are an INFJ, so how do you cope as a normal military man? Is it really fulfilling, since freedom & individualism is not very common.
@@mizenkah there's pros and cons. Went in originally with the mentality that it was for the betterment of those around me which made things bearable. It is extremely frustrating not having any privacy... that's possibly the hardest part. The types of people in the military vary so I am not a fan of the guys who just join because they 'wanna kill people' (they're usually the biggest cowards when shit hits the fan). Now as a PMC I only do it to provide for my family so in doing so any hardship is bearable.
@Wes Thank you for sharing, when I was young I had the same thoughts like you to join the military, but due to an accident with my motorcycle I saw it as a sign to rethink my choice and went to school for further education in the IT field.
@@mizenkah There are two types of motorcycle riders...those that have been in an accident and those who are going to be in an accident. Former motorcycle rider. And loved taking care of my troops when I was in the military.
Well I am a software engineer, going to school on the side to become a Registered Nurse so that I can take care of and connect with people more and so I can eventually pursue my PhD of Nursing Practice in Anesthesia. Also I am researching on the sub-side to pick up an entry level camera to start a RUclips channel to help connect people. I also was in the military for a stint. Also I have had about 20 different jobs where I became bored and moved on to more challenge.
@@Wenzes yes, I thank God! If it were not for having an exciting plan, I think I would become very closed off and irritable. Moreover I feel the pull to spread positivity and understanding.
@@charlie6618 I do enjoy it. Plus you can do Software Engineering or a very closely related computer science career in pretty much any category whether it be Healthcare, automotive, industrial, education, Civil, finance etc
OMG - I am so inspired by you! I studied Acturial Science (Math nerd) and ended up climbing corporate ladder for 15 years in asset management. Portfolio management, coding and derivatives 😁 I was NOT detail-oriented so I was terrible with admin and trade processing but as soon as an unfamiliar problem came about I would somehow come up with coherent solutions and everyone - including me - would be like "where did that come from?" I also realised I was excellent with originating quantitative/economic research (although I would need to rely on more diligent colleagues to push me for the parts requiring significant data collection/pre-processing) Now as I grow my business, I am realising that corporate clients actually value my out-of-the-box solutions more than I ever gave myself credit for in the past. It's been a long road. I still enjoy finance /derivatives so I am sure I will always remain in the industry but I nurture my interests in psychology, astrology, spirituality and general self-development very intentionally in my spare time. Being in nature heals me and I do my best work alone. I am also strict about not being pulled back into the rat race again. It was not a happy place for me!
I love that thanks ! In my 23 , Exciting with the future moving to Canada from HK. New life new career. I want the best for everyone here !! Get money and value both! We don’t need to choose from between! We have so much potential, actually all personality types do, but we are so willing to examine it. I know there’s no other way out except believing in yourself.
i have a job similar to yours in derivatives, and am watching your video this monday morning, lol 😊 You describe weird parts of my personality i do not ever share with anyone. in fact, felt ashamed of until ten years ago or so. A divorce and the pandemic have accelerated my quest for self knowledge and acceptance. Your videos add so much to my self acceptance and realizing that i deserve what i've worked for and looking for ways to infj my way into a major move for the latter part of my career. Many thanks!
Listen to this makes me deeply feel small and even more lost... And I hate myself for it. I feel trapped in my life. I don't know where to go and what to do. Every direction I took ended in some kind of failure. I am lost and I am tired.
It’s ok to feel small. You have much more room to move upwards. If you don’t know that you are lost, how can you find your way? You know now that you need to seek what you need. You need to seek your place. Use the pain as fuel. You will be ok!
I guess I'm more of the stereotypical infj for career. I'm in Public Health and am getting joint Masters in Public Health and Social Work currently. This work is challenging and innovative and the grant I'm currently on is all about that and finding the best ways to end an epidemic in my area. Fe is super valuable in this role and it really helped me find mentors and opportunities. My vision and conviction for the future of the field I'm in was also a big factor why I got this position. I doubt I'll ever make 100k in my area, but im extremely happy with the job I was able to get. Im hoping to diversity in the future and create online content and resources for accessible and evidence-based health info. I'm excited to grow and see where the future takes me!
Beautiful. See that Rose lipstick or in that baritone and Rose looks really flattering on her even the cheek. Her hair is a little more grown out and you can see she's a little more comfortable with it, and even her eyebrows are a little more grown out it looks, you look gorgeous with this hair color! Again I know it's none of my business but you look great.
Hey Wenzes, thank you for sharing your path. I watched your channel a few years ago and saw the big transformation through the different eras. Congrats on your happiness and power over your life. I'm starting to transform mine as well after years of depression with the responsibilities on my shoulders. I just got consolidated recently and decided to sincerely prioritize myself from now on. I wish you my best for your growth and looking forward to the next part! Will you have a chance to talk about investing in financial assets from the perspective of INFJ in the future? Lately, I'm trying to educate myself about this and found out that actually, our cognitive functions could help a lot if we would like to grow as an investor or a venture capital. We just need to connect the dots existing.
Hi Vorakorn, that's for your kind words. Glad I can inspire and that you are prioritizing yourself as well. Currently I am not investing, I used to do that a lot when I was younger and I have the background in it since I worked as a Derivate Expert but so far all my money went right back into my business...but I know sooner or later when I have more money I can invest into the market I will share my journey on that as well :) All the best to you! Wenzes
Omg! This is how I interview! I let them know what I’m capable of and what I will do but also that I’m not interested in working too many hours or having admin create issues that do not exist. I pretty much show up with a confident attitude and skills and I keep it real because otherwise, it will not work.
I never understood why I wasn't in a higher position. I'm as wise or more intelligent than most of the supervisors and managers I know! I did far better when I left Vermont then being here in Vermont. And I don't even understand that I had to start at the very bottom when I came back 20 years ago. I think there's a unequal persona here in Vermont for women. Because I just don't I just have been discriminated against by women mind you over male candidates in several occasions.
Discrimination is a fact...but as you said we can always look for alternatives where the stacks are working towards us (where your personality is being seen, appreciated and wanted) 👍
opinion, most leaders push others away to become leaders. Most managers and supervisors are loud mouths too and loud mouths seem to have better luck in that department. Often Infjs are too accomodating and do not work for that limelight. It is not about being skilfull or wise or clever or being noticed, it is about playing with people well and just being out there.
Thanks for that encouragement, I actually started thinking I was not good at what I do on my channel, the viewers are still few, but now I know time will make me do better, thanks to you
Why Do I "Inspire" Others To achieve Things, Yet I Am So Unaccomplished? I've Literally Inspired Friends To Become A Doctor (by telling her I was going to school to be a PA), A best-Selling Writer (by relentlessly getting her to not give up on getting with this guy in college who liked me but she didn’t know. I convinced him to give her a third chance and they ended up getting and staying together and he has the money & connections to fund her book), Start Their Business (when I joined my friend’s MLM that she was in for years, she finally took it seriously and went from $50.00 checks to now $1,000s in 3 months), yet I never accomplished anything….I never became a PA, I married a loser, and my business is going nowhere 😩 What’s going on with me? Why can’t the luck I bring others happen for me??
Similar to you i’m an INFJ in Finance, it’s not really where my heart is but it was a strategic decision. Do you recommend gaining an accountancy qualification for someone in this position? My company wants to sponsor it
I’m also an INFJ in pharma consulting. I also know that I am not passionate about my job and it doesn’t align much with my personal goals and values, but it’s something I need to do for income and visa sponsorship. I’m trying to stay hopeful and pursue my personal passion as a hobby until I am able to depend on it financially. Hope it makes you feel less alone!
You gave such a precise explanation, covering most of the possible points that I can now think much better with more clarity before choosing a profession
I am so glad I found this video, it explains so well what has happened in my life and where I am now. Thank you for your service Wenzes, your words have helped me more than you can imagine 🙏
I am Freddy November and my twin brother is Keith November, together we are the November twins. We have created cartoons and music all our life. We will start a company which will allow ourselves the outlet we need for our art and also allow a safe healthy environment for other artists to make their art and get the recognition they deserve for it. I want to show the world a mirror of itself so people can grow together through artistic expression. Then I would allow myself to move past that and onto things that can help develop the world against instilling narcissistic behavior patterns while rearing their children.
Thank you for being so much open about the hardships you faced so that, we can truly understand the situation and the harsh realities of this world. But could you suggest us some specific jobs, in the corporate world were you think people like us might flourish.
Man, infj trying to make it as a coach, and have found my niche, no doubt! It took years. But I can't find clients, depressing, and now might have to shut it all down. I just can't find a way to make money doing what I think I'm supposed to be doing.
I’m hight school sophomore and I want to work in marketing. Especially in cosmetics and skin care niche. I also have a blog and I’m planning to start a YT channel when I’ll start university.
Wenzes I don’t have time at the moment so I want to focus on blog at the moment + I’m polish but I wanted to start this channel in English so I want to be fluent in it (I’m on C1 lvl now but you know, accent etc hah) 😄
This video gave me a lot of helpful tips. I also love how articulate you are and hope to improve in this area as being verbally inarticulate is one of my biggest insecurity/weakness as an INFJ-T.
Hi, you are creating a great content , keep it up! Can you give more details on your personal examples of bringing structure to certain systems or building proper relationships with clients? Like what kind of systems/clients/concepts have you worked with exactly to perform your communication and consulting skills? If it's not too personal for you ofc.
Hi Daniel, the question isn't too personal...but I I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean in the Banking System? We were working on projects of the banks where they implemented a new accounting system for example. There are a lot of companies and teams involved and my task was mainly to bring them together, find compromises and the get the tasks done on time.
@@Wenzes yeah thats what i meant. Because the pattern of your responsibilities seems pretty similar: get a kind of unstructured system and make all parts of it connected for a more efficient output, so i was interested to know what were those systems you worked with, thank you.
Great interview! It changed my perspective on certain things beyond measure!! You have great self awareness too which is the foundation for your confidence. I’m still discovering myself though
thank you so much for these videos...I'm so torn on my next steps. I graduated college last year and work in fashion right now - even though I've always wanted to be in this field I also feel really guilty and unhappy that I'm using my skills in life to make a company richer & produce more waste into the world. I'm really considering going back to school to become a doctor, I'm nervous cause I've always had a slight worry that later on it evidently wouldn't align with my personality needs as far as work-travel balance & not having the freedom like being my own boss would. but I also kinda figure if being a doctor doesn't work out, later on in life I can always go and do something else and have a phd too, so who knows lmaoo but so happy for your success, you seem to really deserve it ♥️
You can always change your direction, I stopped working in the corporate world at 32 when I had already been working 7 years after my master...you don‘t have to make decisions that you have to stick to forever...especiall the life balance thing...totally changed for me 😉
What INFJ Career have you taken on AND/OR want to take on in the future? What are some lessons learned?
Wenzes for the first time I had exact the same thing 2 years ago when swapping jobs and doing exactly the same! Projects that couldn’t started in 8 years I performed in 3 months but I couldn’t express in a brief way my accomplishments 😂 thank you very much for the valuable tips!
I’m 23, and have worked various machine shop/automotive maintenance jobs since graduation of high school. Learned a lot brutally and helped me to grow up quick, never have made more than $16/hr, no degree, no debt. Currently doing maintenance for local government and on paper it’s the perfect job for me, but I’d like to make more money and have more job fulfillment. The small tasks give fulfillment, but at the cost of high stress and performance paranoia, constantly being watched and analyzed. I’ve always been interested in agriculture and cars, but I have no formal education and I’m not a natural mechanic, it’s a forced behavior. Would love to use my skills and natural talents to move into a career making around $20-$25/hr.
I've yrs of inventions, from plain to extreams..just put me in a private rm an I can produce inventions every day accept sundays.i do not work,I keep God's commandments. 🕊☺

I have an eclectic view for society and concrete plans to achieve them. I have written a document of 300 pages for it and sent it to an institute. They were happy to have it but there was no budget to do something with it.
So, I was quite disappointed. Now I'm starting as a person in a callcenter and really distaste it, even in a way it infects my mental and physical well-being: this is not the way to go. I want to escape, but I don't see other options. I'm drowning, it feels.
to all INFJ here.....guys its nice to meet u all here , stay safe INFJ nation
Amen
You too brother....
Nation ?! Wut bruh
thank you so much, may you stay safe as well!
Bro i just decided to explore the 3d visualisations with this video and your channel will be a great help!!
Woa this is super weird. I just found out that I’m an INFJ and suddenly everything makes sense. It’s so fun to find many people that think the way I do and struggle with the same problems I’ve been struggling my whole life. I listen to you and I feel like you know me since my entire life.
Nice! exactly happened to me last year the clarity is good and we get to use these tools better!! Remember you cannot make most get it, it is ok, roll with your flow, be excellent, do not try to be not perfect because nobody can be perfect, then and you always win!!
It was the same with me. I feel so much better now and have the tools needed to navigate through life.
Yeah I'm realising that it makes sense to me too!
SAME!!
That's exactly how I feel 💯
This is the most valuable content for INFJs I have seen so far. I don't have to be a counsellor or social worker..there are OTHER ways. "Stop comparing yourself to others".
Ikrrr it actually discourages me when ppl say we are only good as social workers,counsellor, etc basically all the careers that are underpaid and undervalued
ong
@@kawaiikoibito3268 where are you from :):).
I'm an INFJ, tested. And I definitely want stability and money. When you have nobody paying for your candies you need money. Those who say "oh I don't want money" they depend on someone else.
That's true. Or they have given up. Can't blame some of them.
for most stability is enough
I love how you mentioned that with INFJs who are willing, working for ourselves can be optimal because workplaces require you to fit into their structure instead of creating your own. Love that Wenzes. Thank you 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Dub
I relate to that, too. I stayed at a small company that really benefited from having me streamline their processes and even redecorate all of the offices in my department. It didn't pay as much as I should have been making, but there was a pond outside my desk window and I got to wear a lot of hats (admin asst to the VP, department supervisor, HR, art department, den mother/unofficial counselor, etc). The quality of life was a trade off because I wasn't motivated by money but I need to work on that because filthy lucre is a vehicle to propel my art projects.
Yessss I’m so burnt out from any office politics, taking orders…I have had a great career but looking for something new.
@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 You sound very intelligent. How's Business going these days.
ive been in management since 2012. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it pays the bills. My boss wanted to promote me to something even higher because I am good at what I do. BUT during our developement plan he wanted me to develop my "leadership" skills by being more high energy and talk more. I said "alright, gotta stop ya right there. I've done the leadership classes and honestly they're mostly teaching you manipulation techniques and I'm not about that. I'm not going to be high energy nor will I be a gossiping drama queen. I have two ears and one mouth for a reason. I listen because our employees have people talking at them all day long, few listen to them. That's why I'm effective. Putting on the show of being a stereotypical leader doesn't work for me because its not sustainable long term".
The look on his face was priceless. He just doesn't get it. Unfortunately for me, ppl in management tend to be narcissistic types and I'm just not like that. They mistaken introversion for social anxiety which are totally different.
As an INFJ, I cared more about having a fullfilling job without loads of overtime. I sacrificed lots of money to be at home with my kiddos more. It payed off and I am at my first 6 figure salary in public service. However, it took a LOT of time and loads of student debt. If I could do it all over again I would have went into starting my own business.

I’m going through a really tough time feeling rejected and unappreciated by my team and I kept thinking that there was something wrong with me. This video is so empowering. Thank you for reminding who I am and what I’m capable of doing!
Don't always examine yourself like that. Us INFJs do tend to fall back on the "what's wrong with me?" You might feel like the square peg in the round hole at work, but have you ever thought of it from the perspective that they're the square pegs? I don't know specifically what's making you unhappy at work, but it is more than likely that the people who work alongside you value your hard work but don't take the time to get to know you. Speaking from experience here- at my last job I felt like I didn't fit in. The best thing I ever did was quit and land a new job where I do feel secure and appreciated. Don't always think your the one at fault. :) good luck with your career journey buddy
@@harrycain5912 what job is that if you don’t mind sharing? Loved hearing your advice btw :,)
Been there...💕
It's scary how awfully I feel understood. you just validated my decision on quitting my last job! This crave for wanting to grow!
I also want to resign from my job and back to my home country and start my own business. Because i get bored working in the office already
You are a blessing for all INFJ who are feeling lost. Normally, we tend to underestimate ourselves because we compare ourselves to sensors who are good at details. We don't have the opportunity to showcase our strongest points such as planning, solving complex problems, and creating systems. And we don't have the proof to show people. So, it really requires confidence first.
I got to know that I'm an INFJ-T just 2 years ago and I suddenly started feeling seen and understood, atleast by people of my own clan. That atleast I'm not the only one who's been going through all of this, that everything that I'm or everything that's been happening to me is totally normal. I feel validated. Feeling leftout, striking in of depression and anxiety whenever I'm pulled into any drama caused by others, not having much friends, not enjoying crowded places or enjoying my own company, Having unexplainable visions, feeling like something wrong is gonna happen before I go out and then feeling like I shouldn't go out, Having nightmares/visions before anything wrong happens. With time, I'm trying to cope up and getting to know myself more and more with each passing day. I wanted to be a doctor but suddenly felt like not doing it anymore. I want to be a professor and contribute my fair share in making the society a little better place to live, by educating the upcoming generations about the changes that we go through, about how knowing about our personality types can actually make a big difference and atleast put a coma to our sufferings if not a full stop. We can do anything if we join hands and accept ourselves completely. I'm 21 y/o and I'm from India. Mental health in India is a taboo and I want to change that perspective first and entering the education field will help me do so. I want everyone to feel seen and to not feel leftout. If not anything then this!
@@vladimirputin4501 we'll you have had a few invasions over the years.
Growing up in a really competitive environment since I was small forced me to do better just like everyone else and everytime when I'm really struggling I would feel disappointed in myself. But you really thought me that I do not have to compare myself with others. I don't have to be insecure with other people's ability where I just can't do it like them, to hate myself why I'm so slow at learning things, to be frustrated when others can catch up a lot faster than me. I just have to observe myself and keep improving myself with my own pace and keep being patient on my personal growth. To believe that I do have a worth just as everyone else and I just have to find that in order to bring it up on the table when it's needed. Thank you so much for this wisdom, really appreciate it.
What if ur actually bad with people?😅 like I want to help ppl more than anything..but at the same time..ppl scare me alot and my anxiaty is crazy..so I'm kinda stuck
Same 😭😭
I've read somewhere INFJ doesn't really relate with shyness or anxiety, both of it is cause by an individual past experiences. Social interaction is a skill that we can develop or learn. Not all extrovert is socially confident, some extroverted is also have shyness and anxiety like us. It depends on us how to control or delete that type of habit. Sorry if my compliments seems harsh.
Me too ! I cringe when having to deal with people.
@Mint
While I understand why this is what you believe, I would think about what it means to imply that x-type doesn’t relate to y-mental illness. Any individual of any type can suffer from mental illness. Myers Briggs is a type theory not a trait theory (one example of a trait theory is the Big 5). As such, it cannot really tell you anything about how gregarious or how reserved a person will be. If this individual is an INFJ who suffers from fear related to people and anxiety, then there is an INFJ who does relate to shyness and anxiety.
@Brian
Sometimes the skill of being hyper-aware of social dynamics and psychology can backfire and become very overwhelming. It’s okay not to have perfect social interactions with people. You don’t have to help everyone and sometimes just being there for your close friends and family is enough to be a great help. Even focusing on yourself for a while and taking small steps to ease your anxiety will help a lot in the long run - both in your personal and work lives. There are a lot of resources out there for advice on managing anxiety.
@@violyss9274 I understand and i am aware that Myers Briggs and Big 5 is just a trait theory and mental illness is a realistic diseases. But what i am trying to explain is Introversion is a person who is recharge with solitude on our own imaginary world and Extroversion is a person who is recharge by collecting other's social interactional thought. For clearer thought of mine is take an example an old man. Do ALL old people has been diagnosed having a serious disease.? Obviously not, but do majority of old people has been diagnosed having a serious disease.? Based on global statistic, the answer is yes. Get it.? Not ALL Introvert has anxiety or shyness, no. As you nay know Elon Musk, Nelson Mandela, and Simon Sinek all of them is Introvert that doesn't have an anxiety. But do many of Introvert has shyness or social anxiety based on global statistic.? Ofcourse yes, but it is not said that mental ilnesses is a part of Introvert or INFJ Identity (atleast yet), what I am trying to say is ALL mental illnesses has a solution to get rid of it, mental ilnesses is a diseases and disease has their own specific way to heal from it. I also understand that not ALL diseases have a solution to get heal with it, but I also aware that shyness and anxiety is not a chronic disease, it can be heal. On of the tip to recover from it is:
"FEAR = Feeling Excited And Ready"
I used it to against my negative thought whenever I feel anxiety. It is maybe seems childish but atleast it is worked for me, an Introvert with shit childhood.
This was soo empowering! Just finishing business school now, I’ve often doubted myself and lost my confidence when people are implying or directly telling me that I need to be willing to sacrifice my health and personal life in order to have a successful corporate career, but at the same time I also DID bring a lot of value to my internships and apprenticeships (and people recognize that!), just not in the sense that I could regularly work a ton of overtime without quickly burning out. I realised with this video that I DO know my value deep down and just need to find the right fit for me and be confident in my own value even though it’s not the same as other people’s 🥰

@@jackdaniels2657 facts honest truthful way to get to be a millionaire
28 and I stretched myself so thin, giving my all and doing everything employers asked of me, I worked really hard and long hours, then lost my job in October because the owner decided to hit the breaks due to the pandemic, and concentrate on a different branch of the business. I did everything at that job, from cleaning to counseling to website management and so on. Now I am depressed because it seems that most employers don't even listen to what I say during interviews (among other things) and even situations where they understood the exact opposite of what I've said (i.e. I said I want my next job to be where I spend at least the next 5 years so I can grow and develop myself with and within the company, then I was told that they don't want me because they want someone who wants to be with them long term). Your video gives me a bit of hope. Now I just need to find a job and a way out of the depressive episode. I really want to do more, to grow, learn, teach and counsel within a company (or school/uni/ngo), but it feels like no one wants to give me a chance. Sorry for the long comment, I needed to get this out of my system.
Companies and jobs will use you. The more you do the more they take. Chalk it up as a lesson well learned and never do it again. It is smarter to not be exceptional but to be a networker and a schmoozer - which we INFJs as social chameleons can do. But only ever give your all like you did in that job to yourself. They didn't appreciate you, none of them will. They're work. You're always a step away from being replaced. It is a hard lesson, but I hope you take that energy to build yourself up and flourish. Take care!
“Sorry for the long comment, I needed to get this out of my system”. This must be an infj thing bc I type long paragraphs working through my thoughts all the time and then at the end say “sorry I just needed to put how I’m feeling into words and see it on a screen” or something like that lol. Good luck on your journey & props to you for being yourself & perserving. You’ve got this

@@NextCherryParadise things got better, then worse, then better again. Now I am feeling better than I did back then, so that's nice.
I have been thinking a lot about this video. I loved the principle that you taught : when you do a good job in the corporate world, you develop the self esteem and confidence to have similar results when you start your own business. If you never give 100% to your corporate job, you'll not reap 100% from your entrepreneur world. Agree?
Yes 👍😊...of course in regards to one‘s own capacity. I was never able to work for 10hours a day how my colleagues could and I can‘t expect myself to be brilliant in areas that just aren‘t my exptertise. But I definitely changed my approach from: what is the smallest amount of work I can put in to: how can I maximize my effort because that in itself makes me feel good
@@Wenzes Can you make a video explaining how many services/products you have now, bread down revenue from each and how you have built your pipeline/traffic for each?

i aspire so much to be like you. I'm an INFJ with social anxiety but I'm really ambitious deep inside and want to do youtube someday.
ive been doing sales type work for the last 3 years and literally have watched the life and enthusiasm therein be sucked away.... Art and Acting are the pathways for me, dont need to make it big. Just enough to leave a positive impact and make enough money to raise a family...
I needed this today. I work in a media company in the sphere of Content. I didn't enjoy content creation as much and quickly realised that I needed to get promoted to a manager role ASAP. As time passed, I began to understand the difficulties Content Managers have when it comes to planning, organising and executing, and so started working on RPA (Robotic Process Automation) systems that can help my team members do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. A few months ago, my systems caught the eye of my Regional VP and now I am full-time building these systems to help the team's performance.
The issue I am having now is burnout.
What used to be a side project to help me do my work better is now in demand and expectations are high. I find myself in a sink or swim moment: If this works out, I'll be rolling in it while doing something I enjoy, that's helping people and can be respected. Or there's the cliff.
Wish me luck 😅

@@rwzmaf894 37 year old INFJ in IT here and hoping to shed some light. I enjoy the problem solving of IT and the fact that bosses tend to leave you alone to do your own thing. BUT, the beginning stages of IT usually is help desk where you receive phone calls and tickets and are constantly on the phone with people solving issues. It's NOT very good for the INFJ but it can be great in that as long as you keep in mind that you won't be doing it forever, it's a much needed skill for infj's that we wouldn't learn if we weren't "Forced." Personally, I'm now much more interested in my own businesses but IT gives me a career to fall back on so I'm able to do it while my businesses grow. I guess my main advice (and advice I'd tell my younger self if I did things over) would be, if you're already in IT, INFJ's definitely have the capacity to do it, and you should go for it, then work on the thing you'd RATHER do on the side. If you're like me, you'll NEVER be happy in a regular career anyways no matter what you pick, so pick a career to pay your bills, then work on having 4-5 income streams that you enjoy on the side until you make at least double what you're making in your career. Hope this helps!
I have a hard time presenting my value in interviews with bigger organizations. A lot of them expected me to answer ridiculously detailed questions on the spot and my head just doesn't think in detail. My talent is more inclined to the bigger picture by creating connections and systems to simplify scattered information and make it easy to access. I don't know how to present this in interviews with HR when all they want is another clone of people they already have.

I'm an INFJ-A and I found I quite good at advertising.
At work, I was assigned in production (digital art) and already doing it well.
After a year's worth of company attempts to breach into facebook ads ( this was 10 years ago), I quickly put together a video with my own vision.
It turned the account from bleeding money everywhere to bringing in $10,000 / day. It ran continuously for four years and the ones who later bought the company ran it again.
But because the back-end weren't the same people, it slowly faded away.
I confirm that this isn't an abuse to get ahead; these are the skills we're naturally equipped with - bring order to chaos.
OMG! This is a life changing video! I've always had some of the things you've said in the back of my mind, but you're just confirming it for me and making me excited about it.
In the IT world, I shine when creating systems or coming up with interesting ways of presenting easily-understandable data and user interface, but sadly I'm also stuck in maintaining these systems, boring paperwork and have no way to use my ability to connect with people. Your video inspires me to search for ways to ONLY do the things I find interesting and easy and especially to make it clear during the interview process what I will and will not do for the job and what I can bring to the table.
I think I'm going to go for manager work in startups or new departments, because like you I think that's where I'm good at...
So happy I could be of help! :) You got this
Relentless INFJ making six figures since 2005 (except in 2019) Information Technology & Cybersecurity aren't going away...and if you can follow the patterns in the stock market...🤑🤑🤑
I’ve been considering Cybersecurity and Programming. How do you think this career fits into you being an INFJ?
@@kennethmartinez3685 I do all my work remotely, so better than ever.
I'm doing the same with programming. Like it so far.
Whats a good way to start with stocks? Maybe I should earn decent money first
im thinking about this! im not experienced in tech but looking to get in and looking for the best path for me. any advice?
Wow! This really came in handy. Thank you so much for the video. This is like the best and most practical INFJ career video I've seen on the internet.
So happy it resonates with you 😊👍
@@luvlybee_live Praise the Lord. Where are you from and how is life :).
As an INFJ people love me at m workplaces and they are devastates when I leave. ❤
Awww what industry are you in.
@@braxtonmills1235 IT Unfortunately because I grew up in Hungary where I could not dream about becoming a doctor.
@@gykg3202 well listen. Your in Hungary now but you will be in Austria later and a better country after that!. Right :):) there is still much opportunity you know it.
@@braxtonmills1235 I am already in the US haha. But would go to Austria any time :):)
@@gykg3202 You made it here :):).
Wenzes you are a GIFT! Thank you, you INFJ whisperer!
I just realized my personal type was INFJ. I tend to help but end up to be betray. If I tend to let it be, sometimes I got trapped. To be precise, I prefer to trust my instinct & self intuition. If I achieve my financial target, I got lost what to do to make the rite things that anything make things better. In my reason I feel better if I'm sharing my achievements, but sometimes other would says " not yet grow up " , " waster " , then I realised I shud decided to believe my ability , I can turn day to night, night to day . And to be clear, the purposes of INFJ lived in this world is " Pretend To Be Poor & Lay Low ". If you didn't liked criticism for INFJ , then show them like u re not doing anything.
PEOPLE SAY YOU LAZY
PEOPLE WILL SAYS OVER CONFIDENTIAL
PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE LOSER DIDNT SEEK FOR JOBS.
This are the typical situation where INFJ will be faced. So the solutions is : Care about yourself. Don't seek attention by Sacrificing your value and ability as well as pride. You will get the answer those who come without our attention mean that the one to be faith with.
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m about to separate from the military and pursue a career investing in my artistry through film/music/writing. And I’m Nervous but mostly excited because I know my souls purpose and life’s mission is to Heal Teach and Empower and I know As long as I follow my gut I will be able live on my own terms without constant worry about security. This man video really cemented my resolve and I’m infinitely grateful. Thank you again so much!!!
Glad it was helpful Jordan!!! Follow your heart (and take your brain with you ;) ) you got this
WOW, WHATA LESSON, THANKS !!!!!!!! GOOD THAT YOU DISCOVERED THIS EARLY IN YOUR LIFE.
A manager of mine actually thought I was being rude when I told them documentation wasn't something I wanted to do. It didn't fit his idea of the ideal employee. And neither did I, for that matter.
I'm so happy I stumbled in your channel, I didn't think much about my personality when choosing my career. I was definitely neglecting my creative passions when I didn't have an outlet outside of my job and I always feeling unfulfilled
I love your supportive energy, it was like listening to my own story. Very helpful Wenzes, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow.. I can relate to this video on so many levels like what the hell.
Since I started my career in finance I always had this long term goal that I want to retire from the corporate world by the time I turn 50 so that I can actually do people oriented jobs like working in an charity and discover myself through art. And I thought of using my corporate job to get there by earning money and investing it so that I can retire faster.
But I kept struggling with the fact that my job wasn't meaningful nor added anything to society and I kept questioning myself. Also my bosses used to compare me with other colleagues saying that I lacked those detail oriented skills. I thought a lot about quitting and getting into psychology to help people or becoming a coach.
Until I got hired in my new company. In this company I can really connect to my bosses and I can see my manager wants to see me win. She sees potential in me and wants me to develop. They are not scared to give me responsabilities saying that I had both technical skills and interpersonal skills. That I can put myself in other people's shoes and make them comfortable.
And now I am working on projects where I create systems and procedures taking into account information from all of our departments. And to my surprise I am actually good at this and I love working on these complex subjects. I thought I lacked a lot of these corporate skills but they saw my potential and even though I still want to get into a people oriented job I love what I am doing right now. In the end I know that once I feel like I've reached my limits there I will quit this job. Because I want to keep growing and get close to my goals.
I believe that what INFJs want in the end is to feel valued and to help others and we can do that in so many settings without having to compromise ourselves.
You're brilliant Wenzes ;)
100k INFJ workin as a Private Military Contractor... would not recommend.
Wes I assume that you are an INFJ, so how do you cope as a normal military man? Is it really fulfilling, since freedom & individualism is not very common.
@@mizenkah there's pros and cons. Went in originally with the mentality that it was for the betterment of those around me which made things bearable. It is extremely frustrating not having any privacy... that's possibly the hardest part. The types of people in the military vary so I am not a fan of the guys who just join because they 'wanna kill people' (they're usually the biggest cowards when shit hits the fan). Now as a PMC I only do it to provide for my family so in doing so any hardship is bearable.
@Wes Thank you for sharing, when I was young I had the same thoughts like you to join the military, but due to an accident with my motorcycle I saw it as a sign to rethink my choice and went to school for further education in the IT field.
@@mizenkah There are two types of motorcycle riders...those that have been in an accident and those who are going to be in an accident. Former motorcycle rider. And loved taking care of my troops when I was in the military.
it fking sucks being around anyone negative cause you just like aborb them
Thank you Wenzes
Well I am a software engineer, going to school on the side to become a Registered Nurse so that I can take care of and connect with people more and so I can eventually pursue my PhD of Nursing Practice in Anesthesia. Also I am researching on the sub-side to pick up an entry level camera to start a RUclips channel to help connect people.
I also was in the military for a stint. Also I have had about 20 different jobs where I became bored and moved on to more challenge.
Great you have a plan that excites you so much 👍
@@Wenzes yes, I thank God! If it were not for having an exciting plan, I think I would become very closed off and irritable. Moreover I feel the pull to spread positivity and understanding.
Would you recommed software engineering to an INFJ?
@@charlie6618 I do enjoy it. Plus you can do Software Engineering or a very closely related computer science career in pretty much any category whether it be Healthcare, automotive, industrial, education, Civil, finance etc
@@shamusfrench2593 good to know :) that's my background. Are there any challenges in the SE world that you face as an INFJ?
I love money, I am into trading .... But only to serve the life of my friends .... and my never ending creative explorings :)
Nothing wrong about that 😊
Wenzes good thing about trading is. I work from home, alone! ;)))
👍👍👍
💗👍
OMG - I am so inspired by you!
I studied Acturial Science (Math nerd) and ended up climbing corporate ladder for 15 years in asset management. Portfolio management, coding and derivatives 😁
I was NOT detail-oriented so I was terrible with admin and trade processing but as soon as an unfamiliar problem came about I would somehow come up with coherent solutions and everyone - including me - would be like "where did that come from?"
I also realised I was excellent with originating quantitative/economic research (although I would need to rely on more diligent colleagues to push me for the parts requiring significant data collection/pre-processing)
Now as I grow my business, I am realising that corporate clients actually value my out-of-the-box solutions more than I ever gave myself credit for in the past.
It's been a long road.
I still enjoy finance /derivatives so I am sure I will always remain in the industry but I nurture my interests in psychology, astrology, spirituality and general self-development very intentionally in my spare time. Being in nature heals me and I do my best work alone.
I am also strict about not being pulled back into the rat race again. It was not a happy place for me!
Comes from your intuition function! Trust it, unorthodox solutions usually are the answer to difficult problems!
I love that thanks ! In my 23 , Exciting with the future moving to Canada from HK. New life new career. I want the best for everyone here !! Get money and value both! We don’t need to choose from between!
We have so much potential, actually all personality types do, but we are so willing to examine it. I know there’s no other way out except believing in yourself.
i have a job similar to yours in derivatives, and am watching your video this monday morning, lol 😊 You describe weird parts of my personality i do not ever share with anyone. in fact, felt ashamed of until ten years ago or so. A divorce and the pandemic have accelerated my quest for self knowledge and acceptance. Your videos add so much to my self acceptance and realizing that i deserve what i've worked for and looking for ways to infj my way into a major move for the latter part of my career. Many thanks!
This was a very liberating video. Thank you for making it.
The three things that "they" don't want you to discuss but effect your life the most are money, religion, and politics.
wow....I have been a math tutor , for 20 years but I have many skills in several area. you hit the nail on the the head, and drove it home...
Listen to this makes me deeply feel small and even more lost...
And I hate myself for it.
I feel trapped in my life. I don't know where to go and what to do.
Every direction I took ended in some kind of failure.
I am lost and I am tired.
It’s ok to feel small. You have much more room to move upwards. If you don’t know that you are lost, how can you find your way? You know now that you need to seek what you need. You need to seek your place. Use the pain as fuel. You will be ok!
I guess I'm more of the stereotypical infj for career. I'm in Public Health and am getting joint Masters in Public Health and Social Work currently. This work is challenging and innovative and the grant I'm currently on is all about that and finding the best ways to end an epidemic in my area. Fe is super valuable in this role and it really helped me find mentors and opportunities. My vision and conviction for the future of the field I'm in was also a big factor why I got this position. I doubt I'll ever make 100k in my area, but im extremely happy with the job I was able to get.
Im hoping to diversity in the future and create online content and resources for accessible and evidence-based health info. I'm excited to grow and see where the future takes me!
21:00 great part
With that being said everyone should be mindful of the need for learning more skills which she mentions later
Beautiful. See that Rose lipstick or in that baritone and Rose looks really flattering on her even the cheek. Her hair is a little more grown out and you can see she's a little more comfortable with it, and even her eyebrows are a little more grown out it looks, you look gorgeous with this hair color! Again I know it's none of my business but you look great.
Thank you so much for what you do. Really helpful !
Hey Wenzes, thank you for sharing your path. I watched your channel a few years ago and saw the big transformation through the different eras. Congrats on your happiness and power over your life. I'm starting to transform mine as well after years of depression with the responsibilities on my shoulders. I just got consolidated recently and decided to sincerely prioritize myself from now on. I wish you my best for your growth and looking forward to the next part! Will you have a chance to talk about investing in financial assets from the perspective of INFJ in the future? Lately, I'm trying to educate myself about this and found out that actually, our cognitive functions could help a lot if we would like to grow as an investor or a venture capital. We just need to connect the dots existing.
Hi Vorakorn, that's for your kind words. Glad I can inspire and that you are prioritizing yourself as well. Currently I am not investing, I used to do that a lot when I was younger and I have the background in it since I worked as a Derivate Expert but so far all my money went right back into my business...but I know sooner or later when I have more money I can invest into the market I will share my journey on that as well :) All the best to you!
Wenzes
Your channel is just so amazing. I hope people like me can find out about your channel sooner than me.
You are blessed with such pretty eyes 😍
Omg! This is how I interview! I let them know what I’m capable of and what I will do but also that I’m not interested in working too many hours or having admin create issues that do not exist. I pretty much show up with a confident attitude and skills and I keep it real because otherwise, it will not work.
I never understood why I wasn't in a higher position. I'm as wise or more intelligent than most of the supervisors and managers I know! I did far better when I left Vermont then being here in Vermont. And I don't even understand that I had to start at the very bottom when I came back 20 years ago. I think there's a unequal persona here in Vermont for women. Because I just don't I just have been discriminated against by women mind you over male candidates in several occasions.
Discrimination is a fact...but as you said we can always look for alternatives where the stacks are working towards us (where your personality is being seen, appreciated and wanted) 👍
opinion, most leaders push others away to become leaders. Most managers and supervisors are loud mouths too and loud mouths seem to have better luck in that department. Often Infjs are too accomodating and do not work for that limelight. It is not about being skilfull or wise or clever or being noticed, it is about playing with people well and just being out there.
Thanks for that encouragement, I actually started thinking I was not good at what I do on my channel, the viewers are still few, but now I know time will make me do better, thanks to you
Why Do I "Inspire" Others To achieve Things, Yet I Am So Unaccomplished? I've Literally Inspired Friends To Become A Doctor (by telling her I was going to school to be a PA), A best-Selling Writer (by relentlessly getting her to not give up on getting with this guy in college who liked me but she didn’t know. I convinced him to give her a third chance and they ended up getting and staying together and he has the money & connections to fund her book), Start Their Business (when I joined my friend’s MLM that she was in for years, she finally took it seriously and went from $50.00 checks to now $1,000s in 3 months), yet I never accomplished anything….I never became a PA, I married a loser, and my business is going nowhere 😩
What’s going on with me? Why can’t the luck I bring others happen for me??
2 college degrees and certificate and still don't know what I want to do, but the certification worked better than the college degrees.
I want to create my own career
What were the degrees and the certificate for if you don’t mind sharing?
I can relate to you as I am also in the same boat
My life was based on survival by adaptation... personal and corporate, as you said trying to become like others...
Similar to you i’m an INFJ in Finance, it’s not really where my heart is but it was a strategic decision. Do you recommend gaining an accountancy qualification for someone in this position? My company wants to sponsor it
Yes. We are in a recession...it's good to have a job, but start a side hobby that could make you $$ as well.
Hey do u like financial planning ? I am into stock market but it is not my primary career. I see it more as passive income.
I’m also an INFJ in pharma consulting. I also know that I am not passionate about my job and it doesn’t align much with my personal goals and values, but it’s something I need to do for income and visa sponsorship. I’m trying to stay hopeful and pursue my personal passion as a hobby until I am able to depend on it financially. Hope it makes you feel less alone!
You gave such a precise explanation, covering most of the possible points that I can now think much better with more clarity before choosing a profession
I am so glad I found this video, it explains so well what has happened in my life and where I am now. Thank you for your service Wenzes, your words have helped me more than you can imagine 🙏
Needed to hear this! One step at a time, manifesting my goal for stable income as an artist. Thank you!
I just get overwhelmed and shut down. And I can’t seem to focus and stay on task. I’m all over the place in my head.
I am Freddy November and my twin brother is Keith November, together we are the November twins. We have created cartoons and music all our life. We will start a company which will allow ourselves the outlet we need for our art and also allow a safe healthy environment for other artists to make their art and get the recognition they deserve for it. I want to show the world a mirror of itself so people can grow together through artistic expression. Then I would allow myself to move past that and onto things that can help develop the world against instilling narcissistic behavior patterns while rearing their children.
Congratulations Wenzes! You deserve it!
Thank you 😊❤️
Thank you for your insights and energy. You are a joy to learn from.
Hi there. Pls, don't take me wrong. But, I madly love u!. You are way more helpful than my personal therapist. Tnx, a million.
Thank you for being so much open about the hardships you faced so that, we can truly understand the situation and the harsh realities of this world.
But could you suggest us some specific jobs, in the corporate world were you think people like us might flourish.
Yes mam I’m jumping on board where can I find you people in the physical world ugh 😩
Man, infj trying to make it as a coach, and have found my niche, no doubt! It took years. But I can't find clients, depressing, and now might have to shut it all down. I just can't find a way to make money doing what I think I'm supposed to be doing.
this is a breath of fresh air.. thank you
Bro i just decided to explore the 3d visualisations with this video and your channel will be a great help!!
I’m hight school sophomore and I want to work in marketing. Especially in cosmetics and skin care niche. I also have a blog and I’m planning to start a YT channel when I’ll start university.
Amazing 👍👍👍 why not even start now?
Wenzes I don’t have time at the moment so I want to focus on blog at the moment + I’m polish but I wanted to start this channel in English so I want to be fluent in it (I’m on C1 lvl now but you know, accent etc hah) 😄
This video gave me a lot of helpful tips. I also love how articulate you are and hope to improve in this area as being verbally inarticulate is one of my biggest insecurity/weakness as an INFJ-T.
Hi, you are creating a great content , keep it up!
Can you give more details on your personal examples of bringing structure to certain systems or building proper relationships with clients? Like what kind of systems/clients/concepts have you worked with exactly to perform your communication and consulting skills? If it's not too personal for you ofc.
Hi Daniel, the question isn't too personal...but I I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean in the Banking System? We were working on projects of the banks where they implemented a new accounting system for example. There are a lot of companies and teams involved and my task was mainly to bring them together, find compromises and the get the tasks done on time.
@@Wenzes yeah thats what i meant. Because the pattern of your responsibilities seems pretty similar: get a kind of unstructured system and make all parts of it connected for a more efficient output, so i was interested to know what were those systems you worked with, thank you.
@@danielcollins5639 you're welcome :)
Worth watching!
Very unique video on career for INFJ.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad you like it!
Great interview! It changed my perspective on certain things beyond measure!! You have great self awareness too which is the foundation for your confidence. I’m still discovering myself though
thank you very much it helps a lot for me and whenever I watch your videos, feels like you are my career coach
thank you so much for these videos...I'm so torn on my next steps. I graduated college last year and work in fashion right now - even though I've always wanted to be in this field I also feel really guilty and unhappy that I'm using my skills in life to make a company richer & produce more waste into the world. I'm really considering going back to school to become a doctor, I'm nervous cause I've always had a slight worry that later on it evidently wouldn't align with my personality needs as far as work-travel balance & not having the freedom like being my own boss would. but I also kinda figure if being a doctor doesn't work out, later on in life I can always go and do something else and have a phd too, so who knows lmaoo but so happy for your success, you seem to really deserve it ♥️
You can always change your direction, I stopped working in the corporate world at 32 when I had already been working 7 years after my master...you don‘t have to make decisions that you have to stick to forever...especiall the life balance thing...totally changed for me 😉
Thank you for this great video! Makes a lot of sense to me! I´m becoming a big fan of your videos! :)
happy to read that Juliane :D glad I can help
