This is software (AWS) generated transcription and it is not perfect.
only more about people and getting our access to a vast number of resources through professors and you know, the conferences. And then after that, then I started my first job as a product enlist at backcountry dot com, which is how does recreational company based out of future? So I worked with them for some time, and then we had to move to Chicago and, uh, I moved to Accenture. And there again, I go to work more on the analytic side and the adobe site, catalysts to land report, building and tableau software and all those. So, yeah, it was all more on the Web analytics side. And then I had to take a career break when our first daughter was born. And then after actually after both girls were born, was when I started working again. And so I had almost a career break off, like 2.5 years in between. And then I got this opportunity from Hitachi, the electron ICS company. So they are consulting being they needed a and it lets, uh, not just Web. It was more like this tell unless so they needed help of the other profile Mobile and social and everything. So it was a good opportunity for me to come back, and I thought I should give it a try. So, uh, it was much more than I did everything. I did it. Accent. Sure, but great opportunity for me to study and everything and, you know, help them figure out their analytics, so they didn't have ah, endless for almost nine months. So it was a good opportunity for me to, you know, fix everything that was going wrong and broken analytics developer and, you know, had more skills to my profile. And currently, So right now I'm working as an independent contractor. So Ah, so you're with covert, like, you know, I had some extra time. And at that point, like I started brushing up my skills as well and eso my profile right now is like more off this still endless plus Fessio strategists. So now I'm booking more on the asi aside and apparently like, my husband is still walking in issue. And, uh, he has been working remotely for a New York based company for two years, so that helped me hold hot. And, you know, I was listening to all these meetings and everything. So I started learning more office. You through that. And so, yeah, eventually, at some point, I was like, OK, I know so much in a sea of my beer should, you know, just brush up my skills and try to work on that front, too. So and get a little help from them, vile, you know, managing the too young Children. So it's not an easy feat to just focus on my career. So I thought this would be safe for us to have, like, a joint thing. So now I have, like three clients in three different industries and working with the startup who's in the food industry. And, ah, they are doing like Ghost Kitchen, which is like just delivery focused restaurants where they don't have any dining or anything, but they just cook and deliver, or you can do curbside delivery. And it's like they're doing well because, you know, Kobe, people need more after than dining restaurants right now. So, um yeah, that's one off my clients and then working with another nursing college. So they are a been established college, and they've been in business for almost 15 years, and the other one is the no Cryptocurrency. So they are starting are trying to start their own blawg and kind of create a marketplace for Cryptocurrency so and they're based out of Canada. So these are the three main projects I'm working on right now. And you're a parent. Um, there are some random projects that come my way where people, you know, just fun, some keyboard research. Done. And it's like 10 also broke and 15 hours off work. So, you know, depending on the ah, when I'm with other projects, and if I have the time that I take on that also so, yeah, that's where I am right now. Yeah. Um, yeah, definitely. I mean, um yeah, I know. Yeah. One thing I can call out, it's like, you know, as a mother, um, have had to leave my carrier twice. Yeah, twice So that I can, you know, just focus on my kids more. And, um, every time I had to do that, it was kind of like it always seemed like, you know, and into my carrier. The first time I did it. It was kind of very scary experience to let go off the paycheck. and kind of stay back at home and, you know, be a dependent and to think about how I would come back after, you know, why not two years off break and I was like, I'll be, like, outdated and people wouldn't need me. And it was all that feared off power would be a fresher game. But really, what it gave me was like confidence when I came back. And, you know, I'm I can say I have been fortunate to always come back with a better job rule, like, you know, an expanded position. And, uh, yeah, it seriously never impacted anything like I was able to start from where I stopped. And you always just brushing up a little bit and learning about industry and staying in good touch with a good network of people who are in the field. It's always been great. So, yeah, when after things I can call out as a mother is like, you know, you can just keep going even, you know, with your Children and focusing on them. And that's just made me stronger and, uh, you know, more flexible at work, which is kind of like, you know, big uh, advantages that I have over when compared toa others that I feel, um you know, always like, you know, I can just jump in and, you know, start looking so kind of like, whenever If I'm talking to a client, uh, I'll be like, you know, I obvious had when I had to step out, and then I just came back. So you can rely on me that way, like, Ah, you know, I have Ah. Ah, good planning structure for everything. And I can handle things. So, um, yeah, that has been a big thing. I don't if I would have loaned those scarce if I had not gone through the tough. But though at that point, it seemed like everything was ending. Like, it's always like the new things. You learned that after it. So, yeah, I think that would be that
What? Yes, Hitachi. They're always completely a remote position. So I didn't have to travel it on. And I was working from home and Ah, yeah, Adachi had started when my second daughter was six months old. So yeah, one off the constraint at But I had was like, I can work only five hours in a day given, you know, the balance. Nothing. So I was working for five hours, said it will be like, 25 our weekly and if needed, like I would put in more us. So, um and it was Yeah, I didn't have to travel. It all had handled all the meetings online and responsibilities. Yeah, Hitachi it was of analytic. So I was using it. Adobe tools for that, the reporting and everything. An acceptable builder. And mostly it was building our dashboards for them. Ah, So first of all that I came and like I said, like, we were not shot about the data. So I had to kind of fade if i everything and make sure all the tagging was intact and use debunker and do all those work and kind of we had to bring in a developer to fix everything that was not working and fix up, you know, bring in all the a new measurement metrics. So we did all that and then beyond that, it was kind of like establishing dashboards for their for all their social platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter and the YouTube they used, they had, like, you know, transit video. So making sure all that we had the reporting and then ah, important thing was to establish benchmark based on their previous state. And so every month, you know, we can compare to that and sing like I'll be doing well are be over performing rrp underperforming. So that was important to and then, yeah, making sure, like, if there are any up Atos are anything and implementation or if something is broken that was there and, uh um, yeah, I think those were all with Hitachi as additional analytics lead
Yeah. So, uh, again as a contractor, one downside I see is like when you know, part off the company and working within the company. Uh, it's hard to get. Hold off all the, you know, people who are supposed to go car with you on the project and kind of make those changes done. So kind of putting the strategy together and, you know, making the traditions and building the planets one thing and then to getting the team to act on it. It's a completely different thing. So that has Bean one challenge like then and now, but, you know, used to do weekly stand ups and everything, but, uh So what I tried I've tried to do is like, you know, it's a contractor, Uh, when he started working, there is always a said Emma because they're being me by the all right. So they need to see the results also what I'm providing. So I try to clearly define, like, you know, what other goals and what have you done so far and who is accountable for each and how it would impact the result. So kind of giving ownership for the results to each person kind of, you know, uh, makes them more responsible. So eventually, like, if I had meeting it, I'm like, you know, we didn't get these projects done on time. And if you don't keep the cadence going, then now we need to, uh you know, some off. The results might not be Mitt. So kind of having that nearly mad out is super helpful for me and for them to see, like how important it is to get each of the things done.
