love seeing your experience as a software engineer! I'm also a full stack engineer and I was wondering why you choose google? How was your first year working outside of college, and first year working for google? As a full-time, do you ever feel a sensation of imposter syndrome? I thought after college it wouldn't be as strong, but nope lol, its still there. Have you dealt with any situations at work before where you "underperformed" and if so, how did you respond to it? This MiGhT be pre-emptive, but I'm already in my head about making a mistake or taking to long to complete a task at work, and I was wondering if you have dealt with thoughts or even situations like that and what route you take to respond to that.

As an engineer in process, I loved to see your day. I would love to know your insight on imposter syndrome and dealing with such a demanding degree? Also, how did you balance making friends at college and studying? I struggle with this because I feel like other majors have a lot more free time.

@kaytea5958 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sarah but I'm also in the process of learning computer science (basically computer engineering, its just called different in the UK), I think a lot of computer science (programming, or networking) majors have this issue, and the unfortunate thing is you won't be able to have as much free time as someone who's studying psychology, yes that sucks but its 3-4 years of your life, for the rest of your life to be paid more than those psychology majors, and with a much more flexible scheduele for the rest of your life. A lot of sofware engineers, programmers etc work from home, or even as Sarah Pan said her workmate came in at 5pm lol. This is a huge thing considering most people no matter their degree, have 9-5 work days or even 8-6, I cannot express how much you will appreciate this in your later life, those 3-4 years of gritty study mean nothing when you gain it all back for the rest of your career, you dont live out your social days in UNI like other majors do and then they have little social life after. From the current computer science majors ive spoken to, they've all said it's challenging and will never feel as free-d up as a psychology degree, but my bestfriend balances it by finding passion for her work, which is by having friends who are also studying computer science, your work gets done quicker, you have a friend to chat to whilst working having friends with the same scheduele makes it a lot easier to arrange going out. I think the best thing you can do to balance things out is to stay motivated, whether thats by self care, organising a scheduele for 'off days and study days' etc. If you miss friends, and the classic uni experience, then planning ahead works, my friend is doing criminal justice, and works 12 hour shifts in rows, but because she plans ahead with us we still find time to go out. If you have an assignment due, and you know it'll be done in the next 5 days or so then you can plan for after that, you can relax a bit before your next assignment is assigned, and go out/do whatever relaxes you.

@@kaytea5958 Wow, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions in such a detailed way! I do know that it will be worth it in the end and it’s not like I’m not enjoying the journey, but is easy to get caught up in the "experience uni life" narrative sometimes. Surrounding myself with people that also study engineering has definitely helped! :) I’m pretty good in terms of organisation and try to get the most out of my days although sometimes they seem to fly by. I’m a first year student doing an industrial Engineering degree so I have yet many things to learn before mastering the art of being an engineering student!

What inspired you to choose a career in software engineering? Do more men work in swe or is there a balance between both women and men? Have you experienced negative situations in your career such as misogyny, sexism, racism etc ?

how did you plan out your college and major when you were a high school student? what university did you study cs at and why did you choose that one? was computer science a hard major in college & is it difficult to choose a career path with this major? i’m currently in high school and plan on going into computer science! :)

@lynn4912 2 жыл бұрын

hi sarah, how would you compare learning computer science in college to your job now? the CS classes my bf takes seem to be pretty challenging, so i'm curious if you feel any different stress wise in your job. i know you did mention though that your last team that you were in was stressful

@JacobCritch 2 жыл бұрын

Its different from the theory/logic/math courses, but similar to the project based/software engineering courses

@gopro2027 2 жыл бұрын

Cs classes I've taken in college have mostly been super easy. Ofc there are a few difficult ones but even then it's not that bad. My job is less stressful than college because of how much I dislike homework. Maybe it's not the same with all jobs but in mine you don't work when you aren't on the clock, so free time actually feels like free time, unlike college where it's constant stress.

As a former software engineer, I found this very interesting. While I wanted to work in C++, everyone needed Y2K revisions, so a year of updating code in archaic languages like COBOL was enough to dampen my aspirations. I actually left the field back around 2000-2001, just because of the rigid and dull nature of the workplace; basically I was Peter Gibbons in Office Space. All of these videos showing so much flexibility, and hearing about the environment at places like Google have been enlightening. It sounds like it is a very cool time to be a software engineer. Great video.

@@DominicVictoria Given the right circumstances, I would consider it, but honestly, but I doubt there would be any interest in a programmer north of 50 yrs old who hasn't written a line of code in about 20 years. I would need quite a bit of work to refresh my skills.

@@lizzybizzy9776 It just wasn't what I expected. Unfortunately, quality of life at the time was not good, it's not like the stories you hear today for those working at Google, Facebook, etc. Felt more like a rat on a treadmill. It's OK though, I bought a company and actually prefer the flexibility of running my own business. Retirement is only about 15 years away, and honestly a high salary wasn't that high on my score card. TBH, it's barely in the top 3, although I am happy with my choice. It's not the million dollar salary, but I have good health, good family, a portfolio that will provide us with a comfortable retirement and an overall good quality if life. If the circumstances were different I probably would have stayed in it. There are times I do miss it, although my dream job would have been more along the lines of working with Pixar.
