After she got divorced in 2021, Sora Lee bought a brand new Tesla Model 3 for just over $70,000. "I just really wanted a Tesla because it's something my ex wouldn't let me [have], and I regret buying that full price," the 34-year-old tells CNBC Make It. It wasn't necessarily that she couldn't afford the car or the approximate $1,000 a month she puts toward the loan. But in retrospect, she says buying a shiny new car wasn't a very smart investment. "If I had put that into something else, I would have been making more money in terms of my investment return."

TubeMogul was competing for an ad tech partnership with Netflix, so Lee learned about the company's own technology and culture. Lee started working at Netflix on its digital marketing programmatic buying team in 2014, earning a salary of $110,000. "It was actually perfect timing that I got laid off," Lee says of being part of Meta's November 2022 job cuts. While she wants to continue increasing her salary, money alone isn't enough. On her TikTok, YouTube and Instagram accounts, Lee shares career and lifestyle advice based on her experiences.
