My JS variable loading before element exists, so they are empty – Jquery

I am trying to create a script to manipulate the DOM in WordPress.
My problem is that when creating the variables they appear empty because my script loads before the elements exist.
How can I solve this?
I have this little test that although it says the element exists, when I check the variable in the console it returns 0.

Many thanks.

var el2 = jQuery(".slick-slide");

if (el2 > 0) {
  console.log('element does NOT exist in DOM');
} else {

  console.log('element exists in DOM');
}

    In jQuery, you do this like

    $(function() {
var el2 = jQuery(".slick-slide");

if (el2 > 0) {
  console.log('element does NOT exist in DOM');
} else {

  console.log('element exists in DOM');
}
});

    Try create variables when document is ready

    $( document ).ready(function() {
    var el2 = jQuery(".slick-slide");

....
