Currently trying to figure out my path after taking a gap year post high school! FOR YEARS I wondered what Yuyu did for work and this came at the perfect time, I never knew marketing opened doors for such high luxury brands, thank you so much for this 💓💓💓💓
you should be a full time content creator!! there is something so magnetic about you and your vlogs ❤
On point low wages and slow growth. Beside higher management. All the best for your new career
Thank you so much for sharing this yuyu! Have always been curious about this industry and was so excited when I saw ur IGS collating these qns. This truly came at a perfect time :-).
Thank you for this comprehensive video; I feel like the fashion industry is kinda elusive in its workings, specially to outsiders so this was super helpful in understanding the basic scaffolds and categories within the industry. It would be interesting to hear more about your day to day (ex)job and what that work entails. Thanks again & good luck with your future endeavors, you will shine regardless!
This was such an interesting and informative Q&A! Wishing you all the best with whatever you may do in the future!! 💙
You’re still very young I’m sure with your skills & talents you will find jobs easily 🙏🏽 wish you all the best Yuyu🙏🏽
this was so helpful yuyu! love your channel
So on point! Thank you so much for sharing. Very comprehensive and reasonable and such insider knowledge. Love this so much!! I feel like sharing and recommending your content on my own platforms.
this was so interesting, i'm sure your next path is going to be just as successful if not more!
I work as a luxury fashion buyer in Paris and I can confirm the pay is HORRIBLE!! I make 39k a year lol

@@kathrynhu9571 If i work in France, why would I be paid in any other currency? Yes, I am paid in euros. Mid-level buyer at a department store my salary is 39k and I had to fight for that even they originally offered 36k/an and I have a masters degree.

When I just came out from college (near to 20 yrs ago) I worked in “beauty company that distributing the luxury cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances … all colleagues in office (all ages) dress up nicely everyday carry different branded bags and branded heels , nice watches … but I was only earning near 3k a month… I wondering where their money came from … even if you make 2k more than me I don’t think you can afford so many branded bags and nice stuff since we all need to pay for cars , rental , food …

@@ho-thoo-family I think in many cases, especially in the fashion industry, people are coming from already wealthy families so these people don't care so much about their salary. I remember when working for a big e-comm brand in Germany, many of my colleagues had nice Audi's and the newest Prada shoes or bags, while me and most of my other colleagues were taking public transport and essentially living pay check to paycheck. As much as I love fashion and truly consider it my passion and expertise career-wise, I am slowly venturing out and looking to move more towards consulting or finance roles in the industry :) Also, working for 1 specific brand as opposed to a multi-brand reseller, you do making a better salary but it is much harder to enter in this big fashion brands.
Happy birthday yuyu!
enjoying your new Q&A vlog ❤
Thank you for being so honest with those questions and this industrialized world
working as the senior legal counsel of LVMH based in Shanghai. the internal sales is the reason that i still haven't quit my job.
姐表达能力太强了,每一个回答都很直接明了,喜欢!谢谢姐的Q&A!
Love you Yuyu!
We need more videos like that İt was so helpful ❤❤❤
omg thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and for all the tips. i am attending a master in fashion business in milan and for someone approaching this industry for the first time this video was so helpful. i'm an online student though, so i'm not really sure what i can do to develop my network ): manifesting an in-house job and wishing you all the best for the future... 🤞
I’m not into fashion industry or anything but this video is insightful, very interesting
woah, didn't expect this!!
Come over to work in Thailand, Yuyu. So we can watch your Bangkok vlogs everyday lol...On a more serious note, all the best with your decisions what to do with your life going forward.
Wow I love listening to you talking! I could imagine you acing every single interview hahaha
fashion student here, thanks so much for the info. i'm currently switching fashion schools and majors from art direction to business and you said a lot of informative things, so lots of thanks. when it comes to the salary and payment i've heard (from my professors) that people working on the business side of the industry are way more stable than the creatives, that's one of the reasons why i made the switch. i believe that with a few side incomes, i won't be struggling one day. wish me luck 🥺💛🍀

Great vlog ❤
Resonate so much with this hahha working in the ecommerce team for an in-house sister brand
We need an updated makeup / skincare routine :)
Omg you so pretty 😍
Such a helpful video yuyu! I’ve been following you for a while and was always curious about your fashion job, so I’m glad you ended up talking about it! Would you mind sharing a bit about what you’re doing now? 👀 Did you just change industries or are you doing something completely different?

Thank you for sharing!
nice comment, btw i work in florence as a leather bag prototipist. before burberry, now balenciaga.
I loved this video! Just wanted to know why you quit the job and if you are quitting this industry or just the company?
OMG 😦 I loooove bottega veneta since I was little and saw their clothes and bags in Vogue
I took a shot each time you said 'generic' and I can't feel my face nw
lol, I have exactly the same Crispy Cream donut bottle~~~~ love it!
This was helpful! But also now idk if I do want to work in fashion now haha 😂 can I ask why you quit your job? Is there another industry you’re interested in working in?
As an e-commerce fashion girl, this video was right on the money 😂
thank you for acknowledging location is key. you could be the most creative, innovative marketing professional in the world but unfortunately companies don't care unless you went to a well-known school in a big city... speaking from experience :(

She did mention that she got the job by referlas, so connection means more than expensive school
As a fashion designer, for the last tip you mentioned I would also add - ask yourself do you really like fashion or do you just like shopping? Because many many people in my course dropped out, after a month, when they realised they liked shopping/looking at luxury fashion but NOT making it (we started with around 100 people, only 26 of us graduated).

I would say, the team in Production House and the group of Sales' Staff (marketing, including E-commerce) are totally different kind of jobs/tasks they performed. Even from time to time they met to incorporate on the TREND, the Tip-in Style, the Outstanding point of Attraction, the Seasons' mix & match, the Selection etc that brought on to lots of debates (which you called on the meeting as a headache of Very, very delicate/minute details, including the Client Complaints.. that should belongs to the Production (& Design) staff, but as you're in the same BOAT.. the cons of too many (multiple) tasks that kicked you in ..for 5 years, i think it's quite understandable...the reason(s) while YuYu finally ended her career there.!! (I felt a bit sad of missing the chance of 5-years' effort, esp in a big name brand, don't you feel?)
I personally think a person should do a study or job he or she is happy with and truly interested with. Well, atleast yuyu is happy with what's she's doing.

This job in thailand they need who can english communication but so "Personal Connection". Do not expect high salary. Maybe as regular labour just working in the stall office.
typical answers!
直接对接具体事项,升职后变成总管,不错诶

She s already talked it all, in pros & cons, what she loves & hates the most. I guess the Hate weighs a bit more than her love for it (fash).. stress, multiple tasks, the EXCEL (i wonder, nowadays most people use Power Point for presentation, not Excel?) And i think yuyu also think about traveling around, rather than 24/7 in Shanghai (& Milan) same place (& same Mall, after lunch) for 5 years.!!
You should join Web3 industry
Overworked merchandiser here😩🤣🤣!
I really love your videos and your personality, but please look into the lens and not at yourself on the monitor/screen… much more engaging. Super informative video ❤️❤️❤️

为什么博主英文那么好
Can I have it instead I may no
more surprising is that u use an iphone 12.. is that a work phone?
Ah.!! I can see mostly the Marketing Personnel must have a LOOK,.. esp in Fashion. You must tell all the Junior High,...so you guys, just look at me,... See.? That's partially, if not all, that's how i can get a job.!! (Oh, or mostly it's on-Line.(!?!)... e-commerce.!)
