Welcome to another day in the life work vlog.
I'm a software engineer at Meta/Facebook based in Seattle.
In this video I talk about sprint planning, code freeze and more.
You'll also see some of the office amenities!

If you can't control it, so be it. If its justified, not your fault. Keep pushing in other things.

Nice video bro! Is it required to work every day in-office? Or you can work remotely whenever you want?

@calvinxli Жыл бұрын

We have full time remote roles and non-remote roles. How often you can work remotely as a non-remote employee pretty much depends on your team/manager.

@- shagun baranwal - 1.) Don't be "Jack of all trades master of none" master one language / technology first. 2.) Do not code to impress. Code readability is more important and Output. 3.) Don't reinvent the wheel. You will encounter a lot of legacy codes. if its working for 10 years. Don't fuk with it. 🤣 There some advice to younglings/padawans.

I really want to know how is AI research team in Meta... I love coding but really I am into deep knowledges in ML and DRL n NLP. All videos I saw in youtube are about software engineering in Meta... I dont know is that just making things simple to create vidoe or really you r focousing on software engineerin...It would be nice if research teams do youtube too...

Great Video! Hey are you able to give me any help at all, I am from Australia. My main account every time I try to log in now it takes me to a 'checkpoint', doesn't matter which box I tick, it does NOT allow me to get in - it says what kind of support do you need - Talk to someone | get tips and resources | I don't need support right now. Doesn't matter which box I tick I cannot get in. I have been trying to email, message facebook and no help at all. All I want are photos of my late girlfriend and I who passed away two years ago from that account and I can't get in. Is there any chance you can help, please. Thank you!

Now I’m not wondering anymore why young people are disappointed about there bad work life balance anywhere else when they see this - i‘ve seen a similar video from twitter, now it’s clear why so many people could get fired 😂

@calvinxli Жыл бұрын

While I think it's natural for anyone to want good work life balance it's important to keep in mind that most work vlogs are probably not capturing the busiest days at one's job even if it is a real day on the job.

@christiandreier8871 Жыл бұрын

@@calvinxli thanks for your answer. You are not doing yourself a favor if you and all the other vloggers show a wrong picture of your typical workday. Lots of people see this and believe it.
