A day in my life working in Big Tech

Here’s a day in my life vlog working at Google! Of course it’s not a 100% representation of how it is like everyday but this is the general flow.

P/s: I post day in my life vlogs as a corporate gen Z often on tiktok, follow me to find out more!

➡️ Getting ready

My makeup every morning is super simple because sleep is precious and I want to maximise every minute of it! Brows, concealer, blush, lipstick and we are good to go!

➡️ Meals (Lunch and ice cream!)

I get my food settled in office which is great so I don’t have to try to beat the office crowd with corporate workers in all the companies during lunch hour ☠️

➡️ Meetings

Depending on your job scope, meetings can be common or rare. As my job scope has lots of internal stakeholder management, meetings are quite common, minimally 1-2x a week!

➡️ Focus time

In my previous post Tips on Juggling School and Internships , I mentioned the importance of blocking out some focus time in your calendar to do productive work so that people will not be able to block time to have meetings with you too excessively such that you don’t have enough time to do your actual work

➡️ Coffee chats

It’s really common in big tech companies (especially Western companies) to have coffee chats to meet people from other teams/job scopes that you’ve always wanted to find out more of!

Post work activities

➡️ Panel activity

I have been looking on Eventbrite recently to see upcoming events in SG and on this day, I decided to be ✨intellectual✨ and go watch a live panel at NUS on China-US geopolitics but usually, my post work activity is just going to the gym 😂

➡️ Dinner

I had dinner with my friend before heading home but to spend less money, I usually restrict the number of times I eat out to 1-2x a week! Most of the times, I would be cooking my own food at home for dinner
