Here is a REAL look at a day in the life of a Software Engineer. Many other videos like this don't begin to scratch the surface of what it's really like - they'll show you their catered food or ping pong tournaments but not what work is all about.

@@playingaverage5287 I'd say C++, Python, and Java. If you really like something it could be pretty easy. Looking for a job can be hard sometimes especially if you are trying to join big companies like google, facebook, etc. But don't let that discourage you, just learn as much as you can and you'll get there.

Hey guys I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future. Thx for reading.

Amazing video! Finally a software engineer that doesn't spend his day working out, cooking, and when they finally get to the software engineering part: "now I just do some boring code" and doesn't specify anything. Thanks for sharing! Besides that, could you maybe talk about salaries? Entry level, intermediate... That'd be awesome!

@JustinHammond 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Salary totally depends on industry, location, and years of experience. With a few years of experience, dedication, and the right location, you can easily make six figures in the US.

I aspire to be a software engineer. It has really peaked my interest and I am willing to put in the work to learn the different coding languages. It has mostly caught my attention because I am familiar with computers, I'd prefer to work from home, and it seems like a fun job that pays extraordinarily well.

I'm in the middle of a computer science degree and I'm doing ok but when I look at this video I fear that I will be given tasks I don't know how to complete and everyone will think I'm an idiot or I will screw up the code and cause some catastrophy, or screw up the Github repository, or all my code reviews will be like 'this code sucks'. Great insight in this video btw, thanks!

@JustinHammond 3 жыл бұрын

You got this! The beauty of code review is it will help you get better and learn. If you have a good team, they will teach and help you instead of saying you suck.

@ColtonWVlogs 3 жыл бұрын

I'm in the last year of my comp sci degree and I have the fear as well. I've found that being confident in yourself helps a lot. I often fear that I am the weakest link, but as Justin said, good team members will help you. This has helped me through a lot of group projects and other classes. Believe in yourself and you will do fine.

That's imposter syndrome. The good people (skilled ones) have it. As long as you have the intent to learn from your mistakes, you'll do just fine!

@dzramen 3 жыл бұрын

Dont worry too much about it, the goal of a junior engineer is to learn. Just create a PR, get some comments and the next time you are looking over your changes that you are about to commit, think about the things that were commented on in your previous PR's and your code quality will improve dramatically in a couple of months

@TheGodbaba95 3 жыл бұрын

Dude you can summorize the entire software development field as "professional googlers", you are basically paid to figure shit out. No one is mad because you didn't know something, you only get shit for it if you are not willing to figure things out and make mistakes to learn how to do things. Don't be afraid to ask questions and make mistakes and you will be fine.

Is it sad that I think this looks fun? I have many years of coding experience and I'm currently in university studying to become a software engineer in the UK. Honestly, this is exactly the kind of life I want. I more or less already do a lot of things similar to what you portray in this video, and so far I absolutely LOVE it! edit: Yeah I can hear myself now. This is sad.
