Ringkasan Video
Dibuat oleh AIThe vlogger shares a life update from Edinburgh, detailing her daily routine and the exciting news of securing a new remote corporate job. She reflects on her past struggles with burnout in Jakarta and a toxic workplace in the UK, her experience working part-time at a climbing gym, and the challenges of the competitive UK job market.
Saya membeli 7K
Saya mendapatkan pekerjaan baru
Halo, selamat pagi
dan selamat datang kembali di channel saya
Sudah lama
Saya tidak melakukan vlogging selama beberapa minggu
karena saya sibuk
dan ada banyak perkembangan
yang ingin saya berikan kepada kalian
Tapi sebelum itu, saya akan makan sarapan dulu
Saya membeli ini
seperti roti
dari Tesco
Brioche Chocolate Chip
Sepertinya enak
Dan saya hanya memanaskannya selama 30 detik
untuk sarapan saya
Sangat mudah, sangat sederhana
Dan saya memiliki kopi saya
Jadi saya akan melakukannya dulu
Terus nanti, kayaknya aku mau lari
Aku tidak yakin berapa jauh
Karena aku belum lari juga minggu ini
Tapi seperti yang kalian lihat, rumahnya juga sedikit berbeda
Kita ada tambah beberapa
penutup di dapur
Karena tadinya juga cuman
dinding kosong aja
Ini respect ke Bapak Chun Yang
Karena dia kemarin yang jadi
mode tukang, dia yang ngedrill temboknya
Terus dia potong kayunya
Bahkan karena kita beli kayunya itu tadinya kepanjangan
Jadi perlu dipotong manual pakai
gergaji atau pakai apapun itu
Aku gak ngerti
Tapi ya, aku sangat menyukainya
Ini sedikit lebih mudah warna dari yang ini
Jadi kita kemarin ada kayak
Harusnya aku beli warna yang lebih gelap
Tapi kita juga belum ketemu sih warna yang lebih gelapnya dimana
Tapi buat sekarang, kita simpan saja
Ini hiasannya juga masih ada beberapa yang
untuk diupdate
Kita kemarin ada beli beberapa barang tapi masih belum deliberate
Tapi ya, aku sangat menyukainya
Aku pikir ini kelihatan bagus
Mari kita makan sarapan sebentar
Sambil sarapan, sambil nonton
Dates Abroad
Ini temen aku disini, di Edinburgh
Kemarin mereka ke London sama Ica
Boleh di subscribe dan ditonton juga
Dia lebih aktif kayaknya
Sharing-sharing tentang Edinburgh
Dibanding aku, jadi kalau tertarik sama
Sharing kota-kota Edinburgh
London lifestyle
Boleh di subscribe juga
Oke, aku akan pergi berlari sekarang
Mungkin 5km, mungkin 10km
Siapa tahu, nanti aku biasanya larinya
Sesuai mood aja pas udah lari
Kira-kira bisa sejauh apa
Tapi mari kita rehat sebentar
Aku lari 7km
Yang mana tidak terlalu buruk
Di antara 5km dan 10km
Aku juga berlari 2km
Jadi aku tidak akan terlalu berhati-hati
Itu larinya bagus
Tadi aku sempat ada rest sedikit setelah 5km
Karena capek
Tapi kemudian aku terus lari 2km
Sekalian ke arah rumah
Jadi itu bagus
Nanti aku mau mandi
Perlu masak, untuk makan siang
Aku akan makan salmon dan mungkin sarapan
Kita lihat
Oke
Aku baru selesai mandi
Terus tadi beberes rumah, cuci baju
Benerin
Benerin, beresin semua
Dishes, bikin salmon
Buat lunch, tapi masih nunggu
Buat jadi air fryer
So I thought I'll give you guys the big update
Which is, I got a new job
It's still very weird saying it
I got a new 9 to 5 job
Buat yang
Baru pertama kali nonton video aku
Dan belum ngikutin sebelumnya
A little background
Aku itu udah kerja selama kurang lebih 5 tahun
Korporat di Jakarta
Sebelum aku pindah ke Edinburgh
Terus pas pindah ke Edinburgh aku juga sempat kerja korporat
Selama kurang lebih 10 bulan
But I figured that
I was very burnt out
I think I didn't realize it at that time
But now looking back, aku ngerasa aku itu burnt out banget
Dan burnt outnya
It's because of a few reasons
Aku ngerasa pas aku di Jakarta itu
Aku burnt out karena
Justru commute ke kerjanya
I used to spend to commute
4 hours a day when I was back in Jakarta
Karena macet
Aku tinggalnya di Tangerang Selatan
Dan aku kerja di SCBD, di pusat kota Jakarta
So yeah
It took me like 20 hours to commute
Every week
And it was very tiring
In a sense aku ngerasa aku belum punya hidup
Karena sebelum kerja aku commute
Setelah kerja aku commute
Aku capek, tidur, besokannya lanjut kerja lagi
And that's all I do everyday
Dan aku juga ngerasa pas aku di Jakarta
Weekend, I don't really have much things to do
As you guys know
Aku juga anaknya suka banget sama alam
Tapi di Jakarta itu susah buat aku cari
Weekend getaway
So I feel like at that time
My role in the corporate world
Is fine, I enjoy it
But it was just more
That I feel like
My job can't really support my lifestyle
Because of a few reasons
Which is commute
Dan tinggal di Jakarta
And it's a combination of all that
But then I moved to Edinburgh
I got a job
Dan di sini work-life balance-nya dapet banget
Di sini tuh yang kayak jam 5 teng aku udah pulang ke rumah
And I can still do stuff with my husband
With my friends
Tapi aku kebetulan dapet company yang
Sedikit toxic
I don't really like the role that I'm doing
Aku juga kerja di marketing
And I didn't really believe
In the products that I was selling at that time
Ditambah dengan culture company-nya
Yang tidak mendukung
Dan tidak supportive
Jadi selama 10 bulan itu
I kept dragging myself to work every single day
Sampai akhirnya aku memutuskan
Buat resign setelah kurang lebih 10 bulan
And you guys might have also
Known that in the past
10 months, aku took a break
From the corporate world
I work at a climbing gym
Which is something that I have never expected
Setelah pindah ke sini
I love climbing
So it was a really good part-time job
I was very thankful
It's crazy how even to get
A part-time job di Edinburgh
Susah banget untuk kerja di cafe dan lain-lain
Especially if you don't have any retail
Or any hospitality experience
You might have think, oh yaudah kerja di cafe aja
Part-time, gampang dapet ya
No, it's not that easy
It's very competitive
Bahkan waktu aku mulai di climbing gym itu aja
Aku tau there are so many people
Who apply for the role
It's just a very basic front of house role
But then even at that time
It was very competitive
I feel like I got lucky and blessed
Karena aku kenal sama salah satu staffnya
Waktu itu, and I asked for a referral
So I feel like that helped a lot
Cause I don't have that many retail experience
I don't have any coaching experience
Karena part of the job adalah juga pro-coaching
So ya, I'm really grateful
That I get to experience that
But then, I quickly realized that
I miss the stability of working at a corporate job
That pays enough money
To support my lifestyle
Waktu aku awal-awal mulai kerja di climbing gym itu
Selama tiga bulan
I just took a break, I didn't even try to apply
For any corporate job
I was considering to just do
That part-time and then working on my content
But then also I quickly realized
That I don't want to make content
As my main hustle
I really respect people who do that
But it's a lot of work
And I just don't like the uncertainty
The pressure around it
Jadi aku merasa konten itu buat aku
Aku pengennya keep sebagai hobi aku aja
Aku nggak mau push too hard on my content
Sampai aku merasa, oh I need to make money out of it
If that makes sense
But ya, after around three months
Working at a climbing gym
Aku udah mulai-mulai cari kerja
And you guys also know I've got so many rejections
I applied to so many different jobs
In the UK
So many interviews
Not that many interviews actually
Rasio dari aku apply kayaknya
I think I've applied to maybe almost a hundred jobs
Interviewnya, maybe I had around
Like five or six interviews
Ada beberapa yang udah sampe final round
Udah pass the second round of interview
But I just never
Got the final offer letter
It's so hard, it's so competitive as well
Dan aku ngerasa
Zivy aku juga kan most of the
Five years of my experience itu back in Indonesia
Beberapa rekruter disini itu
Nggak begitu ngeliat experience aku di Indonesia
So I was trying so hard to even get to
All these entry level role
But then again, it's so competitive
Aku juga carinya emang mungkin 90% di Edinburgh
And Edinburgh
The opportunity is just not that many
Compared to London
So it was quite a
Interesting 10 months
I wouldn't say I was so stressed
But I was stressed to a certain degree
Yang aku kayak
Am I even gonna make it in the UK?
Am I gonna be able to continue my corporate career?
But yeah
I am just excited to share
That now I have got
A new 9 to 5 job
Mungkin role-nya aku nggak mau expose dulu disini
Role-nya itu apa
But maybe I will
Eventually tell you guys
It's crazy to think
Hari ini aku
Aku masih belum mulai kerjaannya
Aku bakal mulai in 4 days, next week hari Senin
I mean by the time this video is uploaded
I've probably already started
My new job
So that's the big news, that's the big update
I am excited but at the same time
I am very nervous
Role-nya anaknya adalah remote
So I get to work from home
I would just have to go down to London
Occasionally, maybe every month
Karena emang company-nya itu based di London
So yeah, I'm excited
Again, mungkin tadi juga
Salah satu faktor burnout-nya adalah
Commute, I don't really like to commute
In Edinburgh itself, commutenya mungkin 30 menit
Masih oke, but the fact that this
Job is a fully remote job
I would just appreciate that
So much more
So yeah, wish me luck
I'm excited and nervous
I've mentioned that, I've already had all
The imposter syndrome kicking in
Even though I haven't even started my job
Hopefully it's a good one
Hopefully it sustains my lifestyle
And hopefully
I also feel like I miss working in a company
Where I feel like I can thrive
Karena kalau aku burnout itu ngaruh banget ke
Kerjaan yang aku kerjain
I just feel like I can't give my best
Kalau aku sendiri nggak ngerasa
Termotivasi dari diri aku sendiri
So hopefully this job is something that
Will be good for me
I am interested in the role itself
It sounds like something that
Can be challenging but at the same time
Satisfying
I'll keep you guys updated
So thanks for following along
Salmonnya udah jadi
I'm just gonna quickly eat my lunch
And I'm not sure yet what I'm gonna do for the rest of the day
I'm gonna edit my vlog
I've been slacking on my vlogs
Cause it's been busy and a lot of things have been happening
But I have a small
Costco vlog that I'm gonna edit
And then maybe I might go to
A French show later on
Again
Aku tadi ngomong telat
Baris-baris rumah, kelari
Sekarang baru selesai bikin masak
Sembil ngevlog
Oke, aku barusan selesai edit video
Akhirnya beres juga
Tadi juga sempetin masak dikit
Meal prep buat Cuniang dinner
Dan buat besok juga
Tapi sekarang aku mau pergi ke city center
Buat nonton acara French
French itu one of the biggest festival
Di Edinburgh setiap bulan Agustus
There are thousands of different shows
Kemarin aku udah nonton beberapa
Dan ada beberapa yang bagus
Tapi ada juga, it's like a hit or a miss
But I think I'm just gonna go walk
Around town, nanti bakal ketemu sama temen aku juga
Dita dan Ica
I think today I'm just gonna try to hunt
For a free show
Karena kemarin udah bayar yang agak mahal
Jadi sekarang pengen cari yang gratis
Dan just go around the city center
Buat ngerasain vibes-nya French juga
Let's go
