I currently work at a tech company and we also have an open space office plan. I would love to have a closed office space, but not per person, but per team. So each team (of around 6 people) have their own little office space. You can still intensily work with your team, but you are not interrupted by other people.

Totally agree that open spaces is a myth to increase productivity! Great DITL buddy 👌🏽

I saw 2 of your videos so far, and i want to say that i really appreciate how genuine they are. Not over edited no acting. Thank you for that.

I used to work at a tech company but over time things felt so dull. I missed the human interaction, aside from some calls and meetings, you mostly spend your day staring at a monitor. Every day just felt like a grind. I started consuming more and more coffee, just to keep my dopamine levels up I guess. After 6 years I left the field and became a teacher. The pay is worse, I’m a hell of a lot more busy, but man, I’m so glad I took the leap. Never regretted it one moment.

If we hit 100k subs by Sept 6th, I’ll shave my head 👩‍🦲 Watch this next: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7CZibqgq9Gcd3U.html

It’s amazing that you have your own office honestly. Does everyone have an office or just the more experienced engineers ,while everyone else has a cube?

My own office is my bedroom since I work from home these days, thank you for your genuine insight into what it's like to work at Microsoft. I'd love to be a developer there one day

So refreshing to have decent humour in these styles of video, great work. You don’t need to turn the monitors on you can just press any key to wake the machine. But then again you work at Microsoft so there’s probably a reason you’re turning the screens on manually.

You're living my dream life mate congrats for accomplishing all this✌️

Your videos keeps me motivated when I feel lazy. Thank you so much!

Thanks for an awesome walk through of your work day! Pretty awesome to see! I work in tech but on the opposite site of the fence as an SRE. Any advice to stay motivated?

Loved the video! I might be a mechanical engineering student but your advises are applicable in my life! Really enjoyed this POV, keep it up!

Hey Jason, thanks for your great videos and taking your time to put them out to us. The wife and I lived a little down south of you in Lacey, WA for 3.5yrs but just moved to FL for a tech job a month ago. The weather was really depressing most of the year for her, but if we lived in Seattle I think she would have loved everything being so close and being able to go on walks. Microsoft looks dope by the way! Currently working as a sysadmin labeled as Linux CST, mostly doing in person customer support with windows laptops and printers, some network handling and basic Linux engineering 😆 but I’m not 100% sure where I’d like to take my career in the future. Programming… sysadmin… network admin? 🤷‍♂️ I always wanted to learn programming as a kid. Played a little with sourcepawn, html, batch, sql, now shell while configuring Windows, editing DLLs for game hacking (rip), game severs (lawl) or setting up forum software… but I never dove deep into it, just tutorial script kiddie kind of stuff 😄 Truly, I am a noob. I always told myself I need to pickup a C++ book but never did 😬 I definitely need to learn Python now though! Anyways, hope you are doing well and your time at MS going great 👍🏼 Keep up the good work!

Thanks for sharing. That chair is awesome, simple setup

I always get good vibes from your videos.

Beautiful life bro! Love the video..

Thanks for making these videos. I wouldn’t have found out about Waterloo otherwise (I’m international) and I’m going into SE there in the fall

damn, this gave me so much inspiration mate, I'm a 14 year old still, I really hope I can live how you're living someday

Absolutely loved the POV, also jokes we're hilarious. I'm interviewing at Google in 30 days, your videos are inspiring.

2:49 dude be making own assistant

That was actually quite interesting! Thank you for the insight lol

I absolutely hate my workplace's open planned offices. It's just rows of desks and is very busy. A stark contrast to my nice office at home where I tend to be my most productive.

Good vids man - all the best -

Love your channel! You will get views eventually!! Don't give up!

Ahhh I need to visit the Redmond office! Nice video!

Quick question, I just started a coding bootcamp learning HTML, CSS, Javascript and Python. I have no experience at all prior to this. Do you think this is a good first step?

Soccer right after work seems really fulfilling. Good day!

Great video, always had the dream of working at MSFT, got close twice, just wasn't the one picked, it'll always be the dream.

Nice day. Hope to experience this kind of stuff someday. Been working from home for years now.

What if one wants to work remote if they live in California? Can they find a 100% remote job from Microsoft? That’s becoming the norm these days with Covid-19 still out there.. Coding can be done anywhere and team meetings through zoom or teams.

We are a smaller IT company which has one space we all sit in (with 3 people at the moment and the rest works from home) I would also love my own office space but I also work a lot from home, so when I feel like having privacy I just stay at home.

Thanks for the tour, love it! Where did you get that cool wallet from??

Microsoft has a bus specifically for its employees? That's so cool!

Amazing video. This is exactly how a day as a software engineer should look like. I would enjoy that very much, though I want to become a game developer(indie game team)

hey good looks! I'm joining the Redmond office at the end of July, do you have any recommendations about places to check out on campus or in Redmond generally? I'd love to check out the anechoic chamber but I figure you'd have to be working in that specific building (unless...)

Very cool video! I enjoyed it so much!!!!

average Seattle day is raining so in the beginning when it was just cloudy is not average because it rains for 9 months a year here.

HELP I want to work in programming and coding for like web apps, mobile apps, softwares as a freelancer. Now, which degree programme is best for this purpose, BSCS or BSSE? Have no plans for MS and PhD.

Great video! Interesting about the closed offices. Do you get much interaction with your coworkers? It seems like you could go all day without seeing anyone. I think I’d miss the socialising aspect and solving problems collaboratively.

i love these sort of videos

Bro, thanks for the advice, just tried brushing my teeth for the first time and it changed a whole lot my man... I'm a new person now

How long's the Microsoft shuttle ride from Cap Hill to campus? Is it true that Microsoft has nap rooms?

Agreed with the open spaces part. I personally prefer my own office space where I can work and think all alone. Might just be because I like being alone but I'm able to work this way much better

May I ask about the brand of the wallet? Can it be bought from Amazon?

i love footbal and i love programing, nice video !

I’d always go to my dads work (also in Redmond) and the Microsoft building are so cool. It’s always been a dream of mine to work there

When exactly do you get up and when do you arrive at the office to actually start your first tasks

Thanks for the video! What level are you at MS and how long did it take you to get there?

Just curious, are Microsoft employees able to choose Mac as their working computer?

best day in a life on whole youtube and yes open place is a truly a scam, like my productivity drops by at least 80%

How long is the connector commute? Great vid btw

Very informative video.I’m in my late 30s learning to code and your video is a solid path.Here’s a question.What do you think about doing a bootcamp vs going to college as a older person?

Great. Now I am going to do my cs240 assignment!

For those who are interested in studying about open office spaces vs closed office spaces, you might want to look into the concept of introverts and extroverts explored in the book titled "Quiet" by Susan Cain.

i live for your videos

haha, Your Humor is amazing Love these videos!!!

dude this looks like almost a dream job!!!

this is surprisingly very entertaining

Random question, What waterproof shoes do you wear?

Amazing!

Hey, great video! What is the name of the song that starts at around 2:10?

I am 13 and i am learning coding to work at microsoft currently c then c++ then java

I'm currently a computer engineering major is it uncommon for Computer Engineers to land jobs as Software Engineers ? and If so how do i get there ?

Hope my days eventually look similar to this, after I finish school.

Hi Jason love this video and the Seattle office is really lovely, btw you are in which ORG?

I work at intel and we have cubicles. Cafeteria is pretty similar. Closed spaces feels depressing to me.

I just Liked the way you are providing the Sentences of your mind in subtitles, Not many creator do that, and its essential in POV, Liked your desk also, 😻, Dont know if I am Ever going to be A Dev @MNC, But still gonna watch your Vids, to keep me motivated,

I love how all of these GAFAM employees spending their working days. Walking around, eating, drinking millions cups of coffee and looking at the python code for 3 minutes. My only goal now is to be hired in such company and enjoy life.

Got a little dizzy but a good video. It's nice to see KZfaq channels before they blow up and develop into a particular format.

Sir can you please tell me is windows 8.1 better than windows 7 for old PC

i would really like the little screen

Do you have to ride the bus? Or can you drive?

U are amazing ❤❤

Man, you are on call and this much stuff. What if you are in middle of game and get paged?

for some reason i didnt expect you to be using VS code.... LOL i am new so i thought these IDE's weren't used in big tech but hey thats good because I really like VS code

"First person POV" Camera pointing down the entire time. Yep, that's me whenever I go outside! 😂

Nice video, i saw another like this and nobody talks during the day at microsoft? it looks kind of boring not to have social contact, but thanks for the video again!

the chillest workdays are always at the biggest companies

I like how your first priorities of the day are checking your YT stats and providing content for WikiFeet Also big brain data and graphs at 4:30

The best so far video="Day In The Life Of" i had watched

So yknow how windows 11 was a buggy mess? Can you explain why?

i love your humor!!!

POV day in the life should be the new trend

Love your videos! I work at the Bellevue campus. Which DG to join for soccer? P.S: Would love to chat with you someday when in Redmond campus :)

Is that a Dell Precision 5560 you use at office😀

is that a dell xps 17 or its 15?

Ive watched all of your vids and every one has made me laugh

bro which dell laptop do you use for coding

dude I also work at MSFT and we don't have our own office!!??? it's still open space in a lot of buildings!!! I like your sense of humor, sub :D

Makes me actually kinda miss living in Seattle 😭

is it necessary to have a vast knowledge on math for software engineering ?

Just keep the badge in your bag so you don't forget it. Microsoft seems really cool, hope to one day get the chance to work there after graduation

hello Jason, 1st time in your channel from youtube algorithm. New subs here :)

What laptop are you using?

what laptop are you using ?

Working at microsoft looks nice I might do that later in life

Do employees have an option to work remote or hybrid?

Are you allowed to use Macbook here at Microsoft?

Which keyboard do you use ?

what time did you wake up and when did the working day start?
