A working mom at Coupang shares her secret to being a better mother

Some people may not like the idea of working at night. But Soyoung Choi, a member of Coupang’s Gonjiam Center Outbound Team, wouldn’t have it any other way.  

“Working at Coupang has helped me to become a better mother,” said Soyoung. “Thanks to Coupang’s night shift, my house is full of laughter and joy!” 

Before Coupang, Soyoung had to go to work at 7 AM every day, and she didn’t have any time to spend with her kids. Now, because Soyoung works from 5 PM to 2 AM, she can dedicate her entire day to them. “I can get enough sleep after work, and during the day, my kids can come to me whenever they want,” said Soyoung. “And it’s vacation right now, so we’re together all day long.”  

Working the night shift has also helped Soyoung realize that she prefers it over other hours. “I think working at night is just more efficient than working during the day,” she said. In fact, Soyoung has become such a believer that she recommended the Coupang night shift to all her friends. “And actually, a close friend is going to join Coupang next month!” said Soyoung with a laugh. 

Soyoung loves the work-life balance that Coupang provides, allowing her to work a fulfilling job while also being the best possible mother to her children. “Thanks to Coupang, I can achieve everything I want.”
