Chandler Bing worked in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration. However, he resigned in the 9th season and started working as a junior copywriter in an advertising firm. Chandler Murial Bing is a fictional character played by Matthew Perry in the series "Friends." Chandler's father, Helena Handbasket, is a gay impersonator in a Las Vegas drag show, and Chandler’s mother is erotica novelist Nora Tyler Bing. When Chandler was nine years old, his parents told him they were getting a divorce over Thanksgiving dinner. This traumatizing event led to Chandler's subsequent refusal to perceive holidays as an adult and the development of his infamous sense of humor as a coping mechanism.
Chandler's roommate Joey Tribbiani and his former roommate Ross Geller are his closest friends. At Ross' parents' house for Thanksgiving, he got to know Rachel Green and Monica Geller. Ross's love for Rachel was first revealed to Chandler. He relocated to New York City and now lives next door to Monica, who introduced him to Phoebe Buffay. Chandler is well known for being sarcastic and having a great sense of humor. He claims that he learned to use sarcasm as a coping mechanism after his parents divorced when he was a child.

Chandler’s Job
How Chandler earns his bread and butter has been a topic of discussion among Friends fans for quite some time. The question was raised in the episode “The One with the Embryo" (S04E12), when Rachel and Monica lost the bet for their apartment; Chandler’s job was the deciding question, and they lost. However, the shocking part is that before the question was asked, or basically before the show itself mentioned it, nobody actually thought about it. Even fans had no idea and didn’t even think about the sarcastic guy’s occupation.
Chandler specializes in data reconfiguration and statistical analysis. Chandler continues to work there despite not enjoying his job because they keep giving him raises and promotions, which eventually make him the boss of his former coworkers. His friends have no idea what he does; Rachel guesses "Transponster" during the competition for Monica and Rachel's apartment, which they lose, and as a result, Chandler and Joey are the apartment winners.
In the episode "The One Where Emma Cries," Chandler nods off in the middle of a discussion and discovers that he had agreed to lead the new division in Tulsa when he wakes up. On Christmas, Chandler resigns from his position in order to fly back to New York and be with Monica. Through a former coworker, Monica assists Chandler in finding employment in the advertising industry. Chandler is shocked to learn that he starts out as an unpaid intern. But eventually, his more responsible approach pays off, and he secures a full-time position as a junior copywriter in the company, which he enjoys much more than his prior occupation.
