♡ Can we stay in touch?    / @heyitsyi5   ♡ "I want to be rich, I want lots of money..." was one of my fav lines from Lily Allen, so I never thought I'd ever say no to Tik Tok when they presented a 500k job offer earlier this year. I believe I made the right decision for myself, so wanted to share with y'all on how I navigated this difficult decision in my career, shed some light on the workaholic culture in tech, and I really look forward to hearing your stories/thoughts in the comments.

About me: I started this channel when I got laid off last year cuz I got nothing to do. I work as a Product Manager at a tech company, and I enjoy flexing my product muscle creating videos. Will do it as long as I can but argh this stuff is hard!
