You gave such a clear and easy to understand explanation of the business analysis process! More videos relating to that in the future please! And also tips you’ve picked up along the way (similar to the “why I use google sheets” comment you made down below)
thank you so much!!
Liliian, thank you so much for making this series and putting so much effort into it.I love how you explain what you're doing with so much detail to help us have the closest possible understanding of what a day in your life looks like. Many other vloggers kinda just sit around and show themselves typing and doesn't explain much which is understandable, but not very interesting to watch and or informative. Just wanted to let you know how much your effort is appreciated :)
Thanks Joss for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad you found it informative 🙏🙏
I really appreciate that you take the time to go in details on the work that you do 💯💪🏾
As a Taiwanese female who’s also working at a US tech company, I’m so pumped to see your video! Support ❤️
loved both of your day in a life videos - I'm inspired to make some of my own! I've been taking a year break to do my own things so your videos are making me miss working with other people. (also your cooking looks amazing!)
Girl you are LITERALLY out here living my DREAM LIFE!!!!!!! Love your content♥♥
This is really interesting and gives me a greater appreciation of the Business Analyst role! You are also very engaging and can easily explain analytics!
Lilian, Thank you so much for these insightful videos on business analysis career. I am currently doing a masters in business analysis and consulting, your videos get me excited to be in the analytics corporate world after graduation (PS: your channel is the only one that keeps motivating me to carry on and enjoy what i do) Good job!!
very well done. Ive been looking for workflows for a while. im happy you brought it up!
I never in my life thought i would be a business analyst. I always watched your videos and liked your profession, and out of nowhere I'm promoted as Business Analyst in my office.. made me realise you legit attract things
What role did you start at before becoming a BA.
Same! How are you liking the role?
I've always wondered if the role of a Data Analyst the same as a Business Analyst? Because I've compared the job descriptions of both roles and they're identical. Would greatly appreciate if anyone could clarify this. Thank you!
@@ltk7309okay, so. Based on my reading. Business involves ms word, excel, power point and sql. Data involves business analytics plus python
Everything you cook looks so delicious! Love the energy you're bringing to this platform ❤
Recently found you and loving these vlogs! Please continue this series 🙏🏻🤩
Great video. I do the same thing for my job. Alot of queries and data analysis via excel into graphs. I think it's awesome how different roles business analysts are for different companies.
Hey! Hi from Montreal, and also as fellow Taiwanese :) Way to go on starting your career at Spotify! Your video resonates a lot with my own experience working as a BI and Analytics analyst. Keep up the good work! Look forward to your new contents
以爲是一般台灣觀眾為主的旅外生活頻道，但是發現觀眾更國際化，很厲害的創作者。
謝謝你～ ～
韓國好像也很多創作者是講英文的，就會很多人收看👍🏻我也是第一次看到這個頻道
好意外 妳也是台灣人 然後小時候在越南長大。
very nice detailed vlog! Motivating!
new subscriber :) I just binged your content, and it's so motivating! It's so detailed and the editing is *chefs kiss
Thank you for taking the time to explain a bit about your BA workflow and tools used! The visual and talking through the process is so helpful & interesting :)
Excellent video Lillian, this video makes me feel a lot better, and also really good tips to kill awareness :D. Keep goingggg
Love these type of videos so much ❤️also loving your channel alot❤️❤️
Just like everyone said. Lillian, you're the best at explaining how a business analyst works, especially when you explain your business analysis workflow at 1:51 and how is your thinking / analytical process to raise above the data and numbers to get the business insights at 5:53. I'm motivated to learn more about business analysis. Hope one day I can be a business analyst myself at an international company as you are.
As a Lead IT consultant in Paris (FR) and a Woman in a masculin professionnal world, it is very refreshing to see your videos! Keep it up 😎
You are amazing!! Love u sharing ur daily routine, it help me learning English from you❤️❤️
I love your videos! You are engaging and informative. Also, I love the sass between you and your bf! Thank you for posting, hoping to see more!
So interesting, love seeing this peek into your life!
Great video Lillian, even more informative than your previous one, congrats on the growth of your channel! 🥳
aw thank you!!
A new subscriber :) I am currently in my first semester at university and wish to be a business analyst in future. I don’t know what exactly a business analyst does, but watching your videos makes me understand more about it. I feel like I would enjoy this role and I wish I can have a career like yours. Seeing you as a role model now!
thank you celine! glad this was helpful. i think what i love the most about being a business analyst is that i get to work on so many different types of projects with all types of teams. i like the 'generalist' role aspect of it as opposed to a 'specialist' role. my manager used to call us ninjas and i love that
What a great video Lillian! I am from Vietnam and it's great to hear that you used to live in Vietnam. I am also interested in business and data analytics and I hope to work like what you are doing right now. I am actively seeking for full-time job after graduation, and your video is recommended to me, which is soooo helpful!
cảm ơn Minh! goodluck on your job search and glad you found the video helpful! more to come ♡
Hi Minh Vo, r u doing for both?
Loved this !! Please keep videos like this coming.
yess please do more! Also the braised chicken looks sooo good!
i am so glad i found ur channel. i develop interest in BA not long ago, i am a mathematics student currently and hopefully i can get to work as a business analyst by the end, also currently learn SQL and other data related applications. you make the career look so cool
You are so productive. Great job!
omg i'm so glad youtube brought me here. this is SO interesting to me!!
Love this content, this feels different from the other day in my life vlogs that I see on yt. I mean you really gave us a view of what it's like wfh, only a few vloggers do this I think. And really appreciate how you explain to us the works or tasks of a business analyst. Can't wait to see more videos from you
As a local Taiwanese, I learn a lot of interesting English(of ingredients) and some knowledge about business analysis from this video! Also your video looks so cozy and motivated at the same time! Happy belated Lunar new year~
謝謝你！新年快樂🥺
awesomely organized day!
Thanks for the well explanation of the BA 💪
天啊...第一次看妳的影片
目前就讀統計系 看到資料分析、數據圖表、excel試算表那邊 整個驚呆了
神奇的演算法帶我來這邊向妳看齊和學習 偶像🤩
love this video and how you explained how you do business analysis. ❤
This is awesome. Good to see a business analyst do their thing. Love to see that eating is a highlight of the day xD
It takes time and effort. Each bit of experience counts towards something!
At first, I was inspired by your video about business field but just knew you grow up in Vietnam which makes me love to watch you more (i’m from Vietnam btw)
I really enjoyed this day in the life. You made a business analyst job look so easy 😁 Money in the pocket of an apron is such a mood 😂You're so sweet and the editing was on point 👏🏽TJMaxxx should sponsor you loool
From Vietnam, by accident I knew your UA-cam channel, I am working as BA like you, you inspire me a lots sis
thank you for such videos that help me a lot. from Vietnam with love!
blocking off your calendar when you’re going to be OOO is sooo satisfying 😍
i know rightt *auto declines all meetings* uhhhh
Sending the love from Taiwan 🇹🇼.
Great content let me know lots of things in data analytics, it definitely helps a lot for my future career thanks🥰
thank you bonnie!!
Thank you for sharing a real day in the life of a business analyst. It helps me to understand more about this role and makes me want to step in it :)))
Could you share more details about how to prepare to become a business analyst and work portfolio?
Omg, Taiwanese fella! I have a final round for a business analyst role tmr.I also been in America for 6 years. It’s super inspiring to see your vlog!
This is probably what I do too on a daily basis. Lovely!
Your videos are super interesting! I watched them all :)
Wow thank you this was so informative! :)) About how long does it take to finish creating the QBR and how much of that is past queries/dashboards you have? I also work as a data analyst and I feel like every day is so random and it's just like multiple stakeholders asking me for random datapulls and fixing broken things :( to the point where we can't focus on big picture stuff like this
Love what you are doing! Support from Taiwan!
I'm currently pursuing BA for ECBA. Hope to become BA one day. You gave me a big motivation. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hey! Nice to bump into your channel. So I'm a Vietnamese, but currently living and working in Taiwan so I feelllll so related when you mentioned about Taiwan Vietnam eventho it's not really related 😂 I had a good time watching your video, have a good time, take care and 新年快樂 🍾️

This was so nice! i love seeing information neatly laid out! also where did you get your blue hoodie from? it looks super comfy~

I’m a BI analyst, but i just started out(aka junior). The thing about being a junior is i dont really have structure set yet on my “workflow process” and i think im always not doing something enough, but seeing your workflow, im 98% sure im subconsciously doing that already, and feel a bit better now😆 Thank you for the chill video and well explained process!🌟
Idk how I got to your videos but you should know the youtube algorithm is working in your favor :) love your videos
Awesome video! The video about how you make videos and gears would be great!
I work on transactions systems for a car manufacturing company. I do the similar with extracting data and presenting data. Simple pivot tables in excel surprisingly gives me a quick overview and analysis on what the issue is
could you share your make up routine? your skin looks so good!!
The youtube algorithm brought me here. I'm a Taiwanese working in data science related job, too.
your video looks interesting and chill. Please take more video to let me understand the work in NY, and Spotify. =)
nice vlog, i got some insight of what it feels to be business analyst at spotify
I start at Spotify in NYC on the 14th. These videos were great!
congratz and welcome to the band! ping me when you start!
Awesome vlog! Keep it up :) Cheers from Mexico!

All the best!
Im from Taiwan, u r the one I appreciate~ good good good ~
Love this video! How did you make the intro? What font is it and how’d you put the TV glitch effect?
so pretty
Hi, Lillian. Thank you for making your vlog for us. Would you mind sharing tips on how native Mandarin speakers can improve their English speaking skills? Thank You, Lillian. ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos inspire me to be more productive in my work. Also, has anyone told you that you kinda look like Jennie from blackpink? Great video!
Great video! I'm still trying to figure out my career myself and business analysis is one of the roles I was curious about. Right now, I currently work customer service at an airport. I'm interested in pursuing the airline/aviation industry further. I have taken some SQL and Python classes. The tasks that I enjoy doing at work is interacting with passengers, discussing and analyzing their problem, and coming up with a solution. I'm not really into work where I'm behind a computer screen putting out code and algorithms. Coding and programming is just not my thing. Would a business analyst still be a good fit? Or should I find a different role? Thank you.
One thing to be careful of is that "business analyst" is a very broad title - some folks will be doing more data analysis like Lillian, whereas others embedded in a software team like me are doing more personal one on one interviews with end users to gather requirements, sketching out workflows, designing screens, and writing out specifications for the developers, and then testing out what they've produced against what our clients asked for and what I wanted them to do.
These days, many companies will specifically ask for a "data analyst" if it's more data driven. But check the job description and see if they want more reporting and less gathering requirements to find out which way they want their business analyst to focus.
I do have to know a lot of SQL since I'm identifying the queries the software will need to make (so the developers have an easier time and don't have to guess), and I have to understand how software is written, even if I'm not the one programming it myself. I also have to write out the user documentation on the other end. It's a lot of writing! I don't do any actual programming though, just every other part of the software development process that goes before and after it. My team uses Jasper reports, not Python, but a lot of the underlying principles are similar.
@@katarh This sounds very interesting! So is your title still "Business Analyst"? Looking at business analyst programs right now and this seems a lot more aligned with what I'd like to do! I
@@Sunnydya Yes! It's also what my certification is - I have the PMI- PBA, Professional Business Analyst certification. The test for that cert is all about gathering requirements and tracking them throughout a project's life cycle.
love this content and peep into your work! just subscribed and hope to see more! :) cheers!
Interviewing for a Senior BA role today, and this video is definitely helping my nerves, helping me to relax a little! Thank you!
hope the interview went well Samantha! cheering for you 👊
thanks you for your sharing. I love it.
