    We missed you, Cece! Only your videos could ease my crazy 3L year ❤️

    Cece, we love all the insights you bring for us starting! And your voice in podcast like content is great and very fluent into the point -- something hard to find amongst, in my opinion, the surge of podcasters.

      Oh, thank you so much!! I'd like to do more video essays/podcast episodes but still feel a little uncomfortable speaking aloud, so that means a lot to me!

    I cannot wait for both of your books to come out. I just recently subscribed to your channel Cece and you have been my digital mentor for my academic career as a future attorney. Can’t wait to see your vlog in a few months

    So excited to see you back Cece! I love Jenny's positive energy, but tbh, she has the optimism of the early Google/tech era, for others like me who joined the tech/Silicon Valley scene 10 years later, the whole world (company culture, career prospect, job security, etc.) is so so so much gloomier :/

    • @CeceXie
      @CeceXie  Місяць тому +2

      I've heard that from my friends in tech, too--the promises of the early days falling victim to the demands of publicly-traded companies :( I'm curious whether tech can rebuild its optimistic culture or whether that enthusiasm can only be viable in newer companies/fields.

      I think it's a trade-off--the upside of Biglaw is higher cash compensation, but at the expense of longer and more intense hours. Different routes for different personalities.

    Don't get me wrong, probably the problem is mine. I think Cece is incredibly smart and an amazing communicator, and I also understand that this episode is focused on career advancement, but I find it disappointing that these two brilliant women spend time discussing the importance of CC vs BCC, and strategies to meet people just because they are higher up in a corporation. It comes across as so "manipulative" and devoid of real content. It seems career advancement is more about who you meet rather than having creative ideas and making a corporation more sustainable and ethical while keeping good profits. Of course it may be said that visibility is important for making these ideas reach people high up in the ladder, but should we put so much focus on this? I will end as I started, the problem is probably mine, but if someone comes to me with this sort of approach, I will be so not impressed, it actually has the opposite effect on me. I often feel my comments come across a bit harsh, but really I admire and enjoy Cece work and I am looking forward to reading the book. As a final note, "The Chase" was a much better title, and Ms. Woo seems so much more enthusiast about that title than the current one, but I guess it was probably the publishers idea to change it because of some marketing strategy, again, being truthful and genuine is always better.

      @@andrycrisiana I'm the same, I'd rather do a good job rather than play politics. Otoh I never got promoted to executive level. You're watching two people that want to climb the corporate ladder and do a good job at that, lots of good tips for a road I probably should have taken.
