I've been watching ur channel lately! Love your videos!!❤

[@yuldaze]

Thank you for the support! 💖

[@juang6380]

recently stumbled across ur vlogs and omg, brings back so much memories cos u stay around where i used to stay (i’m married and now staying at Punggol)… though i still go back once weekly to visit my parents but the feeling of seeing ur vlogs is like i’m close to home/them! if u know what i mean hahahahhaha

[@yuldaze]

I totally get you! I recently saw a friend’s IGS on the cross island line development in Serangoon North (where I used to live) and felt super nostalgic too hahaha. Thanks for watching the vlogs!

[@ahfxl]

Retook MBTI test, a fellow INFJ. Thanks for showing us around Singapore & enjoying the food!

[@Cheesepancakee]

Fellow INFJ here! Used to work in digital marketing and had the exact struggles where I didn’t find the work I did meaningful to me. Ended up enrolling in an MA programme to pursue my passion. I’m almost done with my MA programme and it has been extremely tiring but also extremely rewarding. I’m hoping to pivot to something related to my MA and while I might have to take a pay cut and/or I might go back to my previous industry at least I have no regrets trying to pursue my passion 😊 I’ve learned that I would rather try and fail than to not try at all. How you’ll get to find something meaningful too 💪🏼

[@yuldaze]

That sounds amazing, I wish I had the means to undergo post-grad studies! And I totally agree with trying and failing than having regrets not trying at all. If you don’t mind sharing, which field of study did you pivot to?

[@Cheesepancakee]

@@yuldaze For the most part of my programme I worked part-time while studying so that helped to alleviate some financial worries but it has been exhausting ngl! But I told myself if I don’t do it now I probably won’t have the chance/drive to pursue it in future. My MA programme is in the social sciences which was also what I studied for my BA. Even though my previous full time job in digital marketing is quite different from the social sciences, I don’t feel the work experience or education was a waste. Everything ends up and it’s all part of the journey :)

[@yuldaze]

@@Cheesepancakee wise words, taking mental notes!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Sending LOADS of luck your way and hoping you’d find joy & purpose in whichever career you end up in!💕

Great vlog as always

[@yuldaze]

Thank you! 💕

[@candyrachel2930]

I am an ENFJ, rather than an INFJ, but I do agree with your pain points and share the exact struggles regarding corporate politics and staying motivated at work. I am currently in the STEM industry! But I am still early in my career, hopefully I will be able to find some motivation soon >

[@yuldaze]

Ahh thanks for sharing! I guess most people hate corporate politics but there are types that survive better than others. All the best to you in STEM! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@vfernand121]

Same MBTI results and had similar concerns at work. I'm in Strategy & Finance and felt changing industries really helped. Used to be in banking but switched to healthcare instead and it's made a huge difference

[@yuldaze]

Omg thank you for sharing! Are you still doing finance related function in healthcare and did you have to sacrifice anything else (e.g in terms of salary, progression etc). No worries if you’re not comfortable to share the details though!

[@vfernand121]

​@@yuldaze Happy to share :) Stayed in the same finance role as I wasn't prepared to forgo my years of experience and start from scratch. The next best option for me was to work in an industry I could find meaning in. Took a salary cut for a year (to transition to healthcare) and when the opportunity arose, moved to a different org with a better package. Yes, took a detour, sacrificed pay and progression for a year+ but I'm back on track now. My thought process at the time was, if I know I'm not happy where I am, the only choice left is to move on. Hope this helps you!

[@yuldaze]

@@vfernand121 this is super helpful AND inspiring!!! Same concerns about not wanting to forgo experience to start all over again so your sharing really gives me hope🥹Thanks so much, happy for you!!

Enjoyed myself in this week vlog again!! Something to look forward everyweek loving the vlogs :) Will it soon be having travel vlog? hehe

[@yuldaze]

Heh thank you!! I hope I get to film travel content again soon 😭 in dire need of a good break!

@@yuldaze U deserve a good break SOONNNNN!! All the best for rest of the week ahead :)

[@cicliolmo7152]

thanks for always giving us the sights and sounds of S'pore. It's making me want to return for a quick holiday, or for F1 week. Sadly my current company doesn't have an office there (like my prior company) so I would have to go there on my own dime =( If you ever venture out to KL-M'sia, please vlog and post also.

[@yuldaze]

Thank you!! Hope you get to revisit SG soon! Would definitely love to visit KL again sometime 🙂

[@GKHGKH]

Fully agreed with you on the INFJ. Get work done faster when working alone.

[@gerdays]

ISFJ here! 👋was a SPED teacher for years and recently resigned to try an entirely different job route while I don't have huge responsibilities binding me down yet hahaha🙊. still not sure which field to venture to, but thanks to your vlog, I'm now reading many other introverts' job choices!! 😆 hope you manage to find a place with lesser office politics and one that suits your interests!! hehe.

[@yuldaze]

Hey, thanks for sharing! Much respect to you on your career as SPED teacher!🙌🏼 Hope you discover a field you’ll excel and find purpose in too 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@sitiko]

Am also INFJ. Funny thing - I dread office politics so much that I stay away and refuse to know. It became known to the office and I end up being the more neutral person, attracting all the different sides trying to defend themselves 😱🤦🏽‍♀️. Def not one who is motivated to give 100% to be noticed but at the same time cannot stand NOT giving 100% in my work= my biggest struggle. Another struggle - procrastination!! I know I have a deadline yet I am not doing it. So I procrastinate and spend the time being stressed abt procrastinating 🫣

[@yuldaze]

Amazed by how much I relate to everything you said 😂 especially the last part about procrastinating and then stressing over it HAHA. On office politics though, I think I’ve gotten to a stage where it’s really hard to avoid it unless I’m ready to give up protecting my interest😭

[@SK-qj8sm]

Omg SAME!! I'm an INFJ too, my boyfriend is also an infj. I'm so senstiive to drama, I love to hear it from others but I don't wanna be personally dragged in it, especially politics. it's just not an environment I thrive in so I completely understand your position. I'm a project coordinator rn but I'm actually a psychologist, it just didn't work for me and I enjoy my work because it's wfh and mostly don't have to deal with too many, I do have to manage with.

[@yuldaze]

!! I would have thought that a psychologist career would suit an INFJ well. Was it due to office politics that you left the career? But happy that the current role works for you! 🙂

[@SK-qj8sm]

@@yuldaze Oh nothing like that at all. The way medical staff are treated is terrible, the staff make ou feel inadequate to another level. I just didn't get any personal growth working in it for 2 years before changing direction.

[@nurainaabdulrazak227]

Fellow INFJ here, currently working in Comms! Definitely feel you about working in meaningful projects and I also dread office politics >.

[@yuldaze]

Ahhh comms! Looks like dreading office politics is a common trait amongst us 😕 do you find meaning in what you do though?

[@nurainaabdulrazak227]

@@yuldaze hmm it’s a love-hate relationship 😂 there are times I find it pretty meaningful and it drives me to work harder (could be my perfectionist streak talking) but there are also times I find it not adding value at all since there are factors out of my control. I’ve made my peace with it tho - I reposition my mindset to not let work be all consuming, enjoy the little things in life and treasuring moments with my loved ones who mean more to me ultimately. It’s definitely a work in progress mindset each day! 😅

[@yuldaze]

@@nurainaabdulrazak227 I completely feel you on the point that work is not always meaningful! That’s such a good mindset to have though - making peace with it is actually the toughest thing to do! Kudos to you👊🏼 & thanks so much for sharing!

[@heatherch]

im infj too! just graduated from tert education, just started working as a apprenticeship in the jewellery industry! so far doing mostly on designing for website, ig and content creation!

[@yuldaze]

Your role sounds fun and involves creativity inputs - I think it suits an INFJ well! All the best in the apprenticeship 💪🏼

[@heatherch]

@@yuldaze thanks so much Yul!! (':

[@yelenazaltana8538]

ISTP here. I am pretty oblivious to office drama but that means that I am usually the last to know everything. But yes, totally agree with the part where we need a meaning cause to work on in our career. I was stuck in the same job for many years and finally found what I want to switch to afterwards. Currently, I am also studying part-time. So many people were skeptical on whether I could "make it". But hey, I am still around. Almost hitting 1 year into my course. And still enjoying my new job. Take your time to explore your interests. Don't be afraid to go for a part-time programme if you really have to upskill. All the best!

[@yuldaze]

Thanks so much for sharing and congratulations on finding a job that you actually enjoy! Also, kudos to you for pushing through the switch. Many people fear uncertainty and end up staying in unhappy jobs because that’s what they are familiar with. Fingers crossed I can make the change too🤞🏼🥲 Best of luck in your part-time course!

[@yelenazaltana8538]

@@yuldaze Thank you for your kind words. All the best to you in your job search too! You are still young (I am very much older). It is the best time to move when the financial stakes are not so high. As someone who was from both camps of staying due to fear of uncertainty vs jumping out of your comfort zone, I can say that I have no regrets leaving my old job ✌🏻

[@joechie1016]

So coincidence... i went for highlight/color my hair last week too & film too 😄😄😄 Btw, I'm INTJ 😁 I did online free test after saw my friend mentioned hers in FB 2 wks ago. Your channel going to hit 6k sub soon.. ✌💪

[@jonxho]

INFJ here as well and as shared in my previous comment, i work as a HR professional which focus on payroll/ HR Ops. Persoanlly felt that I suit this backend rooe rather than 'front facing' HR roles. (Tested & proven, felt so 'unnatural' when i took on recruitment portfolio). 8years into HR and initially tried to work on being more 'extrovert-ed' but as times goes and being in HR space, I've decided to just be myself and harness the good of being introvert and perhaps look for other scope (i.e. HR analytics or HR Rewards ( Comps & bens) within HR that suits my natural character. :)

[@yuldaze]

Hey, thanks for sharing. Nice that you found your niche! I think i will die young if i act all extroverted all day at work 😭

[@ancilav]

Hello fellow INFJ. I used to be ISFJ but then switched to INFJ. I worked in a multinational bank as a financial crime risk assessor (some sort). I’m not a front liner. I like data and analysis and I found that turns out I have strong logic. It is easy for me to understand a process and to which data it relate and if it impacted to other process. If I can improve a process, I feel fulfilled. I look for job that allows me to sit behind a desk all day with my laptop and no need to talk to others 😂. I dislike small talks and phony people. Hate office drama but unfortunately lot of people (in my team) are drama seeker. I don’t like office politics because it makes people with capability lost to people with smart talk. But we could not deny that politics needs strategy and management level need to be great at strategy 😅. I also believe that we need to be brave to just jump and try new things if the opportunity present itself to you, eventhough we are introverts. Hope you’ll find what you are looking for 😊

[@yuldaze]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s awesome that you find fulfillment in your work, it’s super important for an INFJ🥲 and I totally agree with you on office politics (hate it but can’t deny its existence ugh).

[@CandyCaneeee]

I would get different results depending on my mood so I'm not sure if I'm an INFJ or ENFP but I feel the same way as well! I'm also thinking of switching careers but everyone around me kept saying corporate jobs are suitable for me (because I behave like an introvert on the outside) and advised me against it :(

[@yuldaze]

Interesting results! INFJ and ENFP are such polar opposites in the social context! Curious though, how is introverted behaviour relevant to suitability in corporate career?

[@CandyCaneeee]

@@yuldaze Yeah haha, I have somehow an identity crisis trying to figure out which MBTI suits me more 🤔 I’m referring more to administrative jobs that don’t require too much verbal interactions with people, just staying in the office most of the time and connecting with colleagues. Because introverts enjoy interacting with familiar people.

[@yuldaze]

@@CandyCaneeee 😆hope you figure out the dominant mbti! ooh administrative roles, then yes, that makes sense for some introverts indeed.

[@TheRLZQ]

fellow INFJ here! I have the same struggles as you regarding work >< Working in corporate as well. Wanted to change job for awhile but now is not a good timing as my wedding is coming up at the end of the year. 🤔Meanwhile, I will use the rest of the year to think about what I wanna do that can bring more joy and fulfillment to my life! 😇

[@yuldaze]

I share similar predicament as you! Not a good timing for me now as I’m getting matrimonial home this year. Hope you find a career path that suits you!💪🏼

[@Skinnypnny]

Hi thereee, I’m an INFJ-T, office politics are everywhere and I can’t seems to avoid it because all I hear is politics and gossiping. I’m too, do not feel motivated in my work. My day-to-day is very stagnant and nothing deeply satisfying or perhaps involving in helping people or recognition. However, I still have to carry on working to survive. Also Afraid to switch career😢 sometimes I prefer doing work alone without the need to talk or involve with people, idk if you feel that way too

[@yuldaze]

Hi fellow INFJ-T!! I totally empathise with you 🥲 the contradiction with me is that I would prefer working alone most of the time but would still like to have some form of engagement at times haha. I think vlogging helps keep me distracted from my job though, it’s something I enjoy and take pride in making 🥹 maybe you will find courage to step out of the comfort zone some day!! Hang in there!

[@anandgoud4120]

Omaigaad Yishun got so many mozzies LOL! on a side note are you a skilled cook? I mean not just egg, bread but general dishes like your MIL cooks.. kikiki, also, speaking of food, how much do you splash out of your own pocket each month on food roughly... 1 to 1.5K? sorry my peasant brain can only estimate that much figure :P thanks for another soothing, heartwarming, therapeutic vlog :) cheers!

[@yuldaze]

I think it’s because Yishun is one of the study sites where NEA released the Wolbachia mozzies! I’m not a skilled cook hahaha but I did cook a lot when I lived on my own. I don’t track food expenses 😆 but I would say it’s
