i quit my luxury fashion job. (Q&A, career tips, my journey)

[@영-x6r3m]

you should be a full time content creator!! there is something so magnetic about you and your vlogs ❤

[@bensonkhoo7045]

On point low wages and slow growth. Beside higher management. All the best for your new career

working as the senior legal counsel of LVMH based in Shanghai. the internal sales is the reason that i still haven't quit my job.

姐表达能力太强了，每一个回答都很直接明了，喜欢！谢谢姐的Q&A！

[@ahiracastellian1871]

Thank you for this comprehensive video; I feel like the fashion industry is kinda elusive in its workings, specially to outsiders so this was super helpful in understanding the basic scaffolds and categories within the industry. It would be interesting to hear more about your day to day (ex)job and what that work entails. Thanks again & good luck with your future endeavors, you will shine regardless!

[@strangerinastrangeland11]

As a fashion designer, for the last tip you mentioned I would also add - ask yourself do you really like fashion or do you just like shopping? Because many many people in my course dropped out, after a month, when they realised they liked shopping/looking at luxury fashion but NOT making it (we started with around 100 people, only 26 of us graduated).

[@komolkovathana8568]

I would say, the team in Production House and the group of Sales' Staff (marketing, including E-commerce) are totally different kind of jobs/tasks they performed. Even from time to time they met to incorporate on the TREND, the Tip-in Style, the Outstanding point of Attraction, the Seasons' mix & match, the Selection etc that brought on to lots of debates (which you called on the meeting as a headache of Very, very delicate/minute details, including the Client Complaints.. that should belongs to the Production (& Design) staff, but as you're in the same BOAT.. the cons of too many (multiple) tasks that kicked you in ..for 5 years, i think it's quite understandable...the reason(s) while YuYu finally ended her career there.!! (I felt a bit sad of missing the chance of 5-years' effort, esp in a big name brand, don't you feel?)

I work as a luxury fashion buyer in Paris and I can confirm the pay is HORRIBLE!! I make 39k a year lol

[@fatimateresa19]

Wow in Paris !! Shocking 😢

[@kathrynhu9571]

39k in eur?

[@violondon8776]

@@kathrynhu9571 If i work in France, why would I be paid in any other currency? Yes, I am paid in euros. Mid-level buyer at a department store my salary is 39k and I had to fight for that even they originally offered 36k/an and I have a masters degree.

[@ho-thoo-family]

When I just came out from college (near to 20 yrs ago) I worked in “beauty company that distributing the luxury cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances … all colleagues in office (all ages) dress up nicely everyday carry different branded bags and branded heels , nice watches … but I was only earning near 3k a month… I wondering where their money came from … even if you make 2k more than me I don’t think you can afford so many branded bags and nice stuff since we all need to pay for cars , rental , food …

[@violondon8776]

@@ho-thoo-family I think in many cases, especially in the fashion industry, people are coming from already wealthy families so these people don't care so much about their salary. I remember when working for a big e-comm brand in Germany, many of my colleagues had nice Audi's and the newest Prada shoes or bags, while me and most of my other colleagues were taking public transport and essentially living pay check to paycheck. As much as I love fashion and truly consider it my passion and expertise career-wise, I am slowly venturing out and looking to move more towards consulting or finance roles in the industry :) Also, working for 1 specific brand as opposed to a multi-brand reseller, you do making a better salary but it is much harder to enter in this big fashion brands.

[@doveslizleskiss2956]

fashion student here, thanks so much for the info. i'm currently switching fashion schools and majors from art direction to business and you said a lot of informative things, so lots of thanks. when it comes to the salary and payment i've heard (from my professors) that people working on the business side of the industry are way more stable than the creatives, that's one of the reasons why i made the switch. i believe that with a few side incomes, i won't be struggling one day. wish me luck 🥺💛🍀

Thank you so much for sharing this yuyu! Have always been curious about this industry and was so excited when I saw ur IGS collating these qns. This truly came at a perfect time :-).

[@rik.o]

this was so helpful yuyu! love your channel

[@UanTao]

Come over to work in Thailand, Yuyu. So we can watch your Bangkok vlogs everyday lol...On a more serious note, all the best with your decisions what to do with your life going forward.

[@celine0630]

Thank you for being so honest with those questions and this industrialized world

[@LK-fr9wv]

thank you for acknowledging location is key. you could be the most creative, innovative marketing professional in the world but unfortunately companies don't care unless you went to a well-known school in a big city... speaking from experience :(

[@fatisummer9106]

She did mention that she got the job by referlas, so connection means more than expensive school

he variety of textures in the nkuwan pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

I personally think a person should do a study or job he or she is happy with and truly interested with. Well, atleast yuyu is happy with what's she's doing.

Such a helpful video yuyu! I’ve been following you for a while and was always curious about your fashion job, so I’m glad you ended up talking about it! Would you mind sharing a bit about what you’re doing now? 👀 Did you just change industries or are you doing something completely different?

[@vincentnnyc]

i don't see where in this video that you talk about you quit your fashion job and why? so now you are doing youtube as full time?

[@komolkovathana8568]

She s already talked it all, in pros & cons, what she loves & hates the most. I guess the Hate weighs a bit more than her love for it (fash).. stress, multiple tasks, the EXCEL (i wonder, nowadays most people use Power Point for presentation, not Excel?) And i think yuyu also think about traveling around, rather than 24/7 in Shanghai (& Milan) same place (& same Mall, after lunch) for 5 years.!!

[@RuhanYang-lo3my]

Could you please share more about the networking part? Thanx!!

[@Grace-mb8tb]

This was helpful! But also now idk if I do want to work in fashion now haha 😂 can I ask why you quit your job? Is there another industry you’re interested in working in?
