How does a day in the life of a Content Editor at FXStreet look?

Electrifying! The first thi
ng that I look for in the morning are the mails from our Editor-in-Chief Ivan about  reports (my lifeline in FXStreet). He never fails to send them even if he is on a holiday (he is a bit workaholic I guess, but I love it 😄).  Subsequently, I check our economic calendar to know what’s in store for the day and I publish reports in our Analysis section.

How does a day in the life of the Indonesian Site Team Leader at FXStreet look?

Besides doing my job, I’m pretty busy being a mother of two kids. I woke up at 5 AM to prepare my kids before going to school and I make breakfast. At 6:30 AM I start reading my email. Afterwards, I check our economic calendar,  our charts and I look the latest updates from the English site of FXStreet. Then, I start translating the news and reports with my team and I update our Indonesian social media channel. I organize my tasks and shift with my team to manage my time and to take my break on time to pick up my kids from school.

Each day is different because I design a lot of things: for social media, FXStreet campaigns, for our partners, videos, photography, web design, newsletters and so on.

How does a day in the life of the Live Video Manager at FXStreet look?

When I am in Florida, like now, I start my day walking around my neighborhood with a cup of coffee early in the morning. Also, I read the news on my cell phone while I’m watching the views. Then, I come to my desk to check emails for urgent issues and to watch the videos we did overnight.
