For this unique experience, we're excited to introduce you to art and galleries around Kuala Lumpur! We'll be visiting a minimum of three exhibitions via public transportation (trains/bus/Grab) or by walking so you can enjoy the city landscape. If we're lucky, we will get to meet the gallery curator, designer, or the artists themselves.
This experience will support Persatuan Kakiseni, a registered nonprofit in Kuala Lumpur. At Kakiseni, we believe that good things should be shared and more people should have access to the performing arts. We are certain that when people come together to have the same conversation, it makes for an enriching experience. Cheers to good art being shared!
REMINDER: Please be punctual and inform me if you're running late. If there are other guests on the experience, I will wait 15 minutes for you to arrive. However, if you are the only guest, I'll give you 30 minutes to arrive. Upon your request, I can meet you at the next meeting point instead of cancelling the experience.

Salary and Benefits
Finding a fulfilling job is important, but pay and benefits matter too. Effectively advocating for yourself can make a huge difference to your lifetime earnings — and doing that starts with understanding how compensation works.
How to Ask for a Raise
Don’t just sit around waiting for more money; ask for it. That might sound simple, but many of us leave money on the table because we’re too afraid to ask for raises. To negotiate effectively, you need to do some research to understand how much your peers at other companies make, as well as how your company’s salaries compare to broader market trends. That said, don’t think of these ranges as the cap of your earnings potential. If you’re good at what you do, you might be able to negotiate yourself to an above-market rate.
How to Counter a Job Offer
Starting pay has major implications for earnings down the line, since many companies calculate raises based on a percentage of base salary. Making an effective counter offer requires some finesse, though, since you need to weigh getting what you want against the risk of alienating a potential employer. Common strategies for striking the right balance include asking for a company’s internal salary range, insisting on reviewing the written offer before accepting, and ensuring that you don’t tip your hand too much in the negotiation.
Stock Options
Early stage startups can’t match corporate salaries, so they make up the difference with stock options. In short, stock options are contracts that let you buy part of a company at a set price in the future, giving you the chance to share in the upside of an IPO or an acquisition. How much you stand to make from an exit depends on a number of factors, including the company’s valuation, the number of shares you hold and your strike price — which is usually lower for longer-tenured employees.
Severance Pay
A severance package can lessen the blow of losing a job, but it isn’t free money, exactly. Packages can include weeks’ or months’ worth of your base salary, as well as extended healthcare benefits and help finding a new job. In exchange, you typically need to sign away the right to sue your former employer — and some agreements include non-disparagement, non-disclosure and non-compete clauses as well. You really should review it before you sign anything.
How to Get the Career You Want
If you have specific goals, you need specific plans. If you’re lacking in either, these resources will help you kick off your career development journey.
How to Get Your Dream Job
Your dream job might be something you lose yourself in entirely, and where you find yourself bursting with ideas and enjoying every moment. Or it might be more about negative space: a job that’s pretty good, but flexible, and that leaves plenty of room for whatever else you like to do with your time. If you don’t know what your dream job is, it might be time to start thinking about it. Otherwise, your career might pass by before you find out.
How to Set Effective Long-Term Career Goals
Too often, we become laser focused on the next step on the career ladder, losing track entirely of long-term career goals. Taking a longer-term view is important, because chasing the next step can end up leading you astray. Do you want a high-powered career with lots of responsibility, or do you want to close your laptop at the same time every night to spend time with friends and family? Do you want to be responsible for other people, or do you prefer to focus on excellence as an individual contributor? The answers to these questions should shape your long-term career goals.
How to Set Career Goals
Sometimes, it’s the short-term plans of career goals that are lacking. If you find yourself stuck in a rut without a clear path forward, a good first step is thinking about some short-term to medium-term goals. These goals should feel fulfilling, yet also attainable. Think: “Mentor a colleague,” or “Lead a presentation for my team about best practices.” Don’t make it trivial, but don’t make it too hard, either. A quick win can do wonders for your self-esteem, and help you reach more ambitious goals in the future.
How to Set Short-Term Goals to Boost Career Growth
Short-term goals need to be specific and measurable. For example, if you want to expand your professional network, “establishing two new contacts every month” is a better goal than “having a robust network by the end of the year.” Once you’ve established a goal, write it down and ask someone you trust to hold you accountable.
What You Need to Know About Job Shadowing
Many companies reserve job shadowing for interns, but a chance to look ahead at what the future could hold can be valuable at any step in your career journey. Shadowing lets you look beyond job descriptions and get a sense of what the day-to-day work actually looks like. That’s important if you want a clear idea of what you’d like to do, or, perhaps equally importantly, what you don’t want to do.
Use the 30-60-90 Day Plan
No one expects a new hire to know everything, but some things are more important to remember than others. The 30-60-90 day plan is designed to help new hires prioritize their time, laying out expectations for the first, second and third month, respectively. In most jobs, the first month is mostly about learning, while the second and third months are for experimenting and taking on real responsibilities.
Building Your Network
Networking opens up the door for new roles or knowledge in your career, and can be done no matter if you work in-person or completely remote. It’s important to note, however, that a robust network doesn’t appear overnight. If you put in the effort and offer up as much help as you receive to your colleagues, you might soon find that all roads in your chosen field lead back to you.
How to Build a Professional Network
Building the right network can do wonders for your career, helping with everything from introductions to gut checks before important decisions. But although your network might grow naturally over the course of your career, you’re going to have to put in some time and effort in developing and maintaining connections. The best way to do that is to set aside some time every week for keeping up.
How to Find the Right Mentor
Different people want different things from a mentor. Some people want a role model with a job they dream to hold. Others are looking for a successful peer with a shared professional or personal background. And while some turn to mentors for emotional support while things are tough, others want a trusted person like a coach who will tell them when they’re in the wrong. Whether you’re looking for a mentor or coach, there’s probably someone out there for you.
How to Get the Most out of Informational Interviews
The informational interview can be a powerful tool for anyone looking to break into a new specialization or industry. Usually initiated by the person looking to make inroads, these interviews are opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of what someone does and how they do it. Informational interviews do have the potential to help you land a job down the line, but you shouldn’t spend your contact’s precious time trying to sell yourself. Instead, do your research and ask thoughtful questions, and trust that your wits and curiosity will make an impression. Either way, the insights you gather are likely to help you do better in your next job interview.
Developing New Skills
Traits like communication, confidence and ability to trust people play an outsize role for anyone aspiring to leadership of any kind. They may sound like nice-to-haves, but neglecting these so-called “soft skills” will derail even the best-laid career development plans.
How to Develop Interpersonal Skills
Technical know-how might get you a foot in the door, but if you want to move up within an organization and do high-impact work, you’ll need strong interpersonal skills. Fortunately, you can work on those, just like you can any other skill. One important thing you can do is pay more attention to how you behave around others — do you interrupt often, for example? Other strategies include setting aside time for checking in with coworkers and asking for honest feedback about what it’s like to work with you.
How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome
If you ever feel like you’re in over your head and about to get found out, you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome is extremely common in the tech industry — especially among women and members of other underrepresented groups. Fortunately, talking openly about these feelings can help, since it sheds light on how everyone struggles in one way or another. And if everyone feels like they’re falling short in some way, maybe we’re all just setting the bar too high for ourselves.
Active Listening Techniques to Know
If you’re thinking about what you’re going to say next, you’re not really listening. Some of us are better at hearing what others are saying than others, but active listening is a skill we could all stand to get better at. Some improvements will come easy, like disabling notifications when you step into a meeting. Others require a shift in mindset, away from troubleshooting a conversation partner’s problems in real time, and toward embracing moments of silence as you consider what to ask next.
Which Soft Skills Are Most Important?
People will go on endlessly about the importance of soft skills, but which skills are they actually talking about? In tech, hiring managers tend to look for communication and listening skills, a collaborative mindset, friendliness, and openness to feedback. It might sound like a no-brainer, but developing these skills is easier said than done: hiring managers consistently report trouble finding candidates who possess them.
How to Avoid Micromanagement
The transition from individual contributor to manager can be tricky, in large part because it involves moving from doing something you’re good at to managing other people in the job you used to have. Often, that means you can fix problems your employees are stuck on in no time — but this can easily lead to micromanagement. Letting your employees learn how to solve their own problems is critical to their professional growth, and it’s going to make your own job easier in the long run. It can be painful at times, but it’s the right thing to do.
How to Write Effective Interview Follow-Ups
Some hiring managers don’t care about interview follow-ups, while others think it speaks volumes about a candidate’s interest in the job. Since there’s no way of knowing which camp someone falls into, skipping the follow-up email can end up costing you the job. That said, be sure not to overwhelm the recipient. Keep it short, reiterate your interest and emphasize why you think you’re the right person for the role.

Life is a journey let's move forward bravely with a grateful heart, and reap our own happiness and satisfaction through exploration and growth.
Cherish the present: The best time in life is often not the unreachable dream shore, but the road you are walking on and the people who are accompanying you. Learn to find extraordinary meanings in ordinary days, cherish every gathering and every smile, because these are precious fragments that make up the warmth and color of life.
Dare to try and accept failure: There is no rehearsal in life, every day is live broadcast. Bravely step out of your comfort zone, explore the unknown, and challenge yourself. Failure is not terrible, it is the only way to success. Every fall is to stand up stronger, and every failure hides the seeds of success.
Gratitude and tolerance: Being grateful can make our world full of sunshine. Thank those who have helped us, and thank those who have helped us grow. At the same time, learn to be tolerant, understand and tolerate people and things more, which is not only compassion for others, but also a release for your own soul.
Self-growth and reflection: Life is a practice, constantly knowing yourself and surpassing yourself. On the road to growth, keep a learning heart, be brave to reflect on yourself, face up to your own shortcomings, and work hard to improve. Every growth is a transcendence of oneself and a step towards a more perfect self.
Love and be loved: Love is the most powerful force in life. It can not only warm oneself, but also illuminate others. Learning to love is not only giving, but also accepting. In the process of loving and being loved, we learn how to get along with others better, how to better understand and tolerate the world.
Calmness and indifference: Facing the ups and downs of life, it is particularly important to maintain a calm and indifferent heart. Don't be moved by the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and don't be trapped by the desires of the heart. Find a tranquility in the chaos, and taste the true meaning of life in the ordinary.
In ancient times, the people of Eldia existed as a primitive tribe. The Eldian tribe pillaged and raided opposing peoples, even cutting out the tongues of those they took for their slaves and gouging out the eyes of disobedient slaves.[10]
Around 2,000 years ago, a slave girl named Ymir gained the power of the Titans. The ruler of the Eldian tribe used Ymir's newfound powers to war against enemy nations such as Marley, and he would later take Ymir to mother his children in the Fritz family.[11] 13 years later, Ymir Fritz died in defense of her king, and her powers were inherited by her three daughters when they cannibalized her body.[12] Her powers would spread until there were Nine Titans. With their Titan powers, the Subjects of Ymir established the Eldian Empire.[2][13]
The Nine Titans building the Eldian Empire
The Eldians used the Titans as weapons of mass destruction to conquer other nations, wiping out countless cultures in the process.[14][3][15] It is estimated that the number of people the Eldians have slaughtered is over three times world population of year 854.[15] Allegedly, Marley was once again victim to Eldia's warmongering around 1,200 years ago, when Eldia assaulted Marleyan cities during the "Fall of Lago," the "Devastation of Monte," and the "Ravaging of Valle." Survivors from the Fall of Lago fled into the wastes, but were caught by Titans who had been awaiting their retreat.[16] However, the historical validity of these Eldian attacks against Marley are a matter of debate.[17]
Around the year 240, the Subjects of Ymir within the Eldian Empire were spared from widespread death from a worldwide epidemic through the actions of the King of Eldia. Using the power of the Founding Titan, the Subjects of Ymir were altered in their biology, rendering them immune to the disease.[18]
At some point in later history, the Eldians made allies with Hizuru.[19]
Eventually, the Eldians ran out of enemies and began fighting each other.[15] The eight of the nine houses with the Nine Titans remained in a state of conflict, but the Fritz family maintained order with the Founding Titan.[20]
The Great Titan War
After 1,700 years, the Founding Titan came into the possession of Karl Fritz, the 145th King. The King believed that Eldia's sins cannot be atoned for, and that Eldians and Titans should not have existed in the first place.[21] He pitied the Marleyans and devised a plan alongside the Tybur family, the keepers of the War Hammer Titan, to end the Eldian rule.[21] The King abandoned the internal conflicts, and without the Founding Titan to keep order, the Eldian Empire collapsed. The Eldians fought and weakened themselves during the Great Titan War, while the King and the Tybur family presented the legend of Helos, a Marleyan hero who joined with the Tybur family to defeat the King.[21] The Tybur family fought to restore Marley in the war; other noble families would evidently follow suit.[22] They succeeded and Marley gained seven of the Nine Titans as a result. The King moved the capital to Paradis Island, Eldia's last remaining territory, and gathered as many Eldians he could on the island.[23]
King Fritz used the Founding Titan to erase the memories of Eldia
On Paradis Island, the King used the Founding Titan to turn his subjects into Colossus Titans to form three concentric Walls around their territory: Maria, Rose, and Sheena.[24] Afterward, Karl Fritz, now known as the First Reiss King, used the Founding Titan once more to erase the Subjects of Ymir's memory of the Great Titan War and all of history before the raising of the Walls.[25] For the next century, the Subjects of Ymir in Paradis Island lived on in peace, unaware of their past conflicts, their history as the Eldians, and the world outside the Walls.
On the mainland, the Eldians who did not flee to Paradis Island were conquered by Marley. Marley spared these Eldians, who became second-class citizens. They were forced to reside within internment zones, such as Liberio's, separate from the Marleyan population.[26] Marley used their new influence to spread slander of the Eldian Empire, claiming they had resorted to eugenics against the other races of the world for 1,700 years and that Ymir Fritz had gained her power from the "Devil of All Earth."[27] Any Eldians accused of committing wrongdoing against the Marleyans were sent to "Heaven" and turned into Pure Titans, doomed to wander for eternity.[28]
However, some Eldians attempted to resist and restore Eldia. The remaining members of the Fritz family still on the mainland led a revolutionary army against Marley, but the army was crushed and its members were executed, including Eren Kruger's family. Others, such as Grisha Yeager, met together in secret, plotting to venture to Paradis Island and retrieve the Founding Titan in order to bring back the Eldian nation.[29] Few Eldians were allowed to keep their status after Marleyans conquered them. One notable example is the Tybur family, who retained their status and wealth because they fought for the Marleyans in the Great Titan War.
