brilliant business model, well pay everyone nothing. slow clap. and sorry you all deserve abuse in person & to know how you have destroyed culture. go post on spotify and see how your podcast goes... lol

[@Juhsentuh]

“I’ve learned that if you want to learn something new in the workplace, you’ve really have to seek it yourself!” The truth in those words 🙌🏽

[@anipan]

I got my first job on a data science team for this summer and have been super nervous about it and living alone. Your videos have been extremely inspiring and encouraging, and I feel less anxious and more excited for this summer. Thank you Julia!!

Omg Annie! Good luck to you, you’re gonna do great ♥️

I'm a junior SE and loved your vlog! I think you hit on something at the end: "it's just a job." I used to glamorize the tech industry, but I'm starting to see that the work is not always innovative and transformative...sometimes it's literally just a job lol..Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more "day in the life" vlogs!

[@qjtvaddict]

It’s only glamorized cause of the high pay

[@Stoneface_]

@@qjtvaddict absolutely agree.

As a software developer living alone in a flat myself, this is by far the most realistic work week vlog.

I'm Vietnamese, It's really nice to see you learning my language. I'm actually using your video to practice my English speaking, I like the way you talk in a casual and calm vibe. Thanks

[@Rhonda_girl_11]

Yay to your work life balance!! As always, love your videos. For some reason, I'm always relaxed after watching them. I think it's your vibe so thanks for sharing!

Aww thank you Zea! ♥️ I definitely have my down time too though!

[@liligorzon]

i really enjoy watching your videos relating work and still having a life 💕 i’m sooo much inspired having you as my female figure in this field (as an analyst) and pursuing data science in the future

[@Aprilmay2]

Please continue to make your videos Julia! They’re so relaxing and inspiring and I look forward to them each week. I can’t believe you can do so much in one day!

[@juliafei]

Thank you June! Yes workweeks are rough but that’s why I look forward to the weekends 😭

[@PeterPan-xe7qw]

I'm so excited to see something like this in my future. I'm a college freshman in CS with an emphasis on AI/ML and Data Science. I can't wait to hopefully have a nice life like this. I do know that you can't see everything through the lens of a camera so I'll be sure to not let this dilute the difficulties you've been through to get to where you are today! Edit : First year of college is over! Time to hone up on new skills and do my best to get past stage two of internship interviews! :) Though I am a freshman, not impossible, but most have been no’s. Always next year!

Thanks for motivating me. I've been feeling so burned out lately. You amaze me how you can go through so many meetings yet still have the feeling to do editing.

[@colleenconway5109]

Man looks like we all had a hell week this week with meetings and a lot of to-do’s. I’m so glad it’s Friday. I’m wiped so no way to make it out plus it’s raining really bad here in Maryland. You go girl. You seemed to have really figured out how to balance everything and props for your non profit work. Each vlog shows how much dedication you have. 🌸

[@blythe.11]

such a wholesome work week vlog

[@apollojain5569]

Thanks for the video! As another 20-something year old person working on Software on the East Coast, it's great to see someone else who seems to enjoy their job but also prioritizes good WLB, contributing to their community, and also making sure to keep healthy. A lot of these videos show engineers who have pleasant lives but who seem rather lonely and uninvolved. This is a great model for working hard and enjoying your job but not letting work take over your life. Kudos!

[@samuelhinshelwoodjr]

Yes!!!

[@deniseuy6112]

I found your channel JUST NOW and I immediately subscribed! I’m still a college student but your routines in work, health, & social life is very similar to mine. Never related to someone so much! So excited to be a part of your community! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

"You just have to do things that make you happy" the phrase that really wrap ups the video and I really need this mindset right now at the start of my new job. Thank u 💓

[@juliafei]

Thank you Ana for your sweet comment and support 😭♥️

[@lizhaozhi]

This is so cool! In a workweek, you get to finish work, self study new technologies, socialise with friends and edit KZbin videos...even participating in non-profit! There're free time, but I must admit that I'm too lazy to use it for shoring up my skills or pursue other interests such as art. This is an inspiring vlog! Fabulous!

[@marynanesterenko2712]

So calming. Just a human living her life. ❤️

[@ericeichstaedt2357]

I've never seen anyone pack in an activity virtually for every second of the day! I guess we are all always "doing" something, even if just laying down on the couch and thinking it dreaming. But some of us are definitely more into the stereotypical idea of "productive" activity, such as you I think. Maybe in more right brained and highly sensitivr/ introverted, and need more downtime - which I see as an activity of value. Anyway, great to get a deeper window in on your workday, so it isn't too abstract. It's amazing you get all the task work done with all those meetings!

[@juliafei]

Productivity is how you define it! And as long as you enjoy what you’re doing, then it’s time well spent in my books ☺️

[@_seibyo_]

How are you not exhausted. If that were me I would have been soo burnt out by the end of the week. Damnn you are amazing ! I am going to start my work life in a week and I am soo scared that it is beyond imagination.

Omg don’t feel guilty I take so many breaks where all I do is scroll through tik tok haha

[@reb569]

I really enjoyed this. I am a front-end developer and I actually work from home Mon-Wed-Fr and in the office on Tues-Thurs. I live out in the country though, so my commute is by car. Starting with the beginning of the pandemic our company went full-remote with the exception of those who couldn't work from home, and what we first were expecting to be a month or two of remote work turned into over a year. We then started back in the office 1 or 2 days a week from July to December 2021 then went back full remote again until May. We are now permanently hybrid (if we want), with an expectation of 2 days a week in the office, although that is flexible when needed. It works out great for me!

[@yuanagain4988]

Productivity queen!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mounizle]

Hello Julia! Your routine has convinced me to make time to clean my setup 😂No but in all seriousness, this video gives a lot of perspective! Interestingly enough, I received a survey earlier today while using Spotify that asked me about how I would feel if Spotify began pushing a merch/cd/vinyl platform on Spotify to help fans further support Artists. Personally, I think it would be a great addition that would directly support the source. It would be a win-win for Spotify and the Artists rather than using a 3rd party system. I wonder if you were a part of that team in any way 🤔 I wish you all the best!

[@alexandre.hsdias]

I’m also a data scientist and Spotify is one of my dream companies. It’s so motivating seeing you working there and have such a good time. I hope I can get there one day!

[@adarshkumarsingh6313]

Well, I don't mean to mean something wrong, but this kind of life feels very depressing to me. It's all good if you like it. Still, it's just my opinion as a pretty sociable guy who likes to always work in fields and wants to enjoy the environment by going in it, I won't like staying in the apartment for more than half of the time of my week and be just sticking to my computer without having anybody to talk things about. So I would feel good if I saw you doing some fun activities, be it with your friends or boyfriend, but that would make me feel good if I know a person living an active life and enjoying it to your fullest rather than just sticking to some virtual meets with some so-called Higher-ups. thanks
