Hi besties. In today’s work vlog, I’m taking you inside life working at a tech company in China as a foreigner. It’s the last day in the office before the Spring Festival break, and the mood feels different as most colleagues have already left to hometowns for Chinese New Year. I’ve been at my company for 10 months, which has given me time to think about next steps. I’m happy in my marketing role and grateful for how much I’ve grown, and I’m navigating life in your 20s with many possible paths. After work, I’ll show you how I prepare for the holiday, too. If you’re exploring working in China as a foreigner, expat life, Chinese office culture, life in a Chinese tech company, Spring Festival preparations, and career reflections in your 20s, this vlog is for you. Thanks for watching, Sophie.
