Ok this was so interesting/fun to watch!!! Loved learning about your job tbh, so cool to see the behind the scenes!!

[@CarissaBurnside]

Eee thanks girl!! It was so much fun to film & edit for you all 🤍

I don’t know why your apple calendar is so satisfying to look at, it’s so organized 😩

[@CarissaBurnside]

Hahaha thanks so much girl! It's SO satisfying for me too. I find myself just staring at it sometimes 🤤

[@Λτλκλη]

Different but I really love this! Those guys behind the screen lucky to meet a person like you every single day 😄❤️

[@CarissaBurnside]

Ha! Thank you!

[@20amandastein]

Your morning looks relaxing compared to mine I just rush out the door as quick as possible to work at 6:30am😂

[@CarissaBurnside]

Hahaha mine would look like that too if I had to be at work by 6:30am 😅

[@taraskinner3847]

Loved watching this because it’s super relatable to Ng lifestyle. It’s always great to get ideas on how others manage their careers and daily life.

I totally agree! These are some of my favorite videos too. I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😘

[@jocelynhagemeyer3131]

Because of you I am thinking of going back to school and going into Information Management Systems! ❤I am so happy that I numbed into your channel. I knew I wanted to go back to school but I didn’t know what for! Thank you 😊

[@CarissaBurnside]

Ah that is so awesome!! Congratulations and good for you! I absolutely LOVED my Management Information Systems program. I hope you love it too! It really opened so many doors for me in the tech world. ❤️

[@laurasavage3612]

Love this video! Obsessed with the vlog style / day in the life ! Will you be pivoting to work in office or hybrid at all?

[@CarissaBurnside]

Thank you so much, Laura!! As of right now, the communication from my team has been that it's completely up to us. About 98% of the people on my team still work from home. Some people go into the office and about once a month we have an in office meeting. I plan to stay working from home as long as I'm able ❤️

[@zuzannam]

Love your videos! Would love to watch a “Things you learned/wish you knew in your 20s” video! 🤍

[@meghapathak]

Hi Carissa! I work at Amazon too! I literally looked you up in the phone tool this morning. Wanted to chime and let you know how much I admire you. Had no idea you’re from Seattle or a fellow Amazonian. If we ever make it back into the office, I’d love to say hi in person.❤

[@CarissaBurnside]

Hahah no way! Get out! I love that you looked me up! 😂 Yes, please. That would be so great to say hi in person. May be coming soon with the RTO updates 😉

Hi Carissa,really enjoyed your video!😊 I actually just started a program manager role as well and it’s just my 2nd week. I was previously a Tam which was very different from a program manager. Are you able to share with me if you are using any project management tool with your team? Thank you😊

[@PAIJEYPAIJ]

I absolutely LOVED watching this! Everything was so interesting. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you get your degree in? You did start off as a recruiter for Amazon, correct?

[@CarissaBurnside]

Ahh thanks, Paij!! Yes! You’re correct. I randomly landed in tech recruiting out of college and stuck with it for a while, but it took me so long to realize I never really enjoyed it. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems!

[@Claudia-lv2pm]

I have a space heater right next to my feet too! I work at a consulting company right now but a tech company is one of my goals! (when the layoffs stop :/)

[@CarissaBurnside]

Haha the space heater is a must!! Oliver sometimes jumps on the ottoman to get some of the heat too 😂 I hope the layoffs stop soon but I fear they will be all year long 😭

[@AshleyReinaFit]

That white Opal set is 🔥 so mad the half zip is sold out 😩

[@CarissaBurnside]

It’s a good one!! I hope it gets restocked! 🤞🏼

Hope you're doing okay with all the layoff news 🤍 It's def been a tough few weeks for me seeing my coworkers impacted

[@CarissaBurnside]

Thank you, Tina! I'm so happy and grateful that both Juan and I are fine. I honestly try not to stress too much about it since it's completely outside of my control. 🤍 It's been hard seeing friends or past coworkers that are impacted though. So tough.
