Joined a large company as an Associate Software Engineer this year. Can confirm this video is accurate

3 weeks on my first job as a developer (as a junior frontend developer) and I really like it. The first 2 weeks were difficult, as it was necessary to figure out how a large project works and get involved in the work. Even assuming that I was mainly doing css. Understanding how the project works is very important. In the third week, everything becomes more or less clear and becomes more exited

To me the best way to learn is by having a mentor in a company. You'll know that no matter how bad you screw things up, he/she'll be there to help you out

I have been working as a Remote Software Developer I for ~ 1 year now (My first development job). Here is my experience: Weeks 1-2: Training videos for the application I will be working on Weeks 2-4: Setting up development environment and all software packages Weeks 4-6: Testing to familiarize with the product Weeks 6+: Development The onboarding process will most likely vary depending on the complexity of the application you will be working on. When I finally started writing code I was thrown right into it. I had to learn the code base from the ground up without any guidance. Now that I have been with my company for awhile I can say that you will write just as much code as a mid or senior level developer. The only difference between junior, mid, and senior level developers (in my experience) is pay and sometimes the complexity of projects you will work on.

Kyle did an excellent explanation about what's going on. Thanks!

Holy moly!!! perfect video at perfect timing!!!...I really never thought of first week of my job... after seeing the title (me: hmm what i'll do in the first week of my job?...) at the end of the video... my web development simplified because of you!!! awesome job keep it up bro!!!

Thank you for this video, has helped with the anxiety before starting a lot!

Thank you for sharing this. Realy greatful for your videos :)

Great video as usual! These expectations don't only apply to junior developers, most of them apply to any developer starting a new role.

Wow, amazing video, thank you so much, I had no idea on how it would be. Thank you so much. Still learning, but I hope very soon I will be getting one.

I thankyou from the core of my heart brother.

Awesome video ! Thanks !

Your channel is quite helpful man. Good video topics and tutorials. Thanks

Thanks for sharing buddy

Great video! I even wrote down a couple of advice to make sure I stick to them.

Awesome as usual!!!👍👍👍

This was more or less my experience getting my first programming job. And I must say, its so true about the fact that you are going to learn a ton in your first year. Its actually impressive how much learning on can get done in an year.

Very well described!

Thanks Kyle really love it. the same thing was in my mind what to expect how the work will be I have to join from Jan ist and that's my first developer job I just opened a youtube saw your video everything got cleared and got a great confidence as well thanks ❤️

This is really reassuring, I'm starting my first internship in the coming year and it's good to know that I'm not expected to be able to work on high level projects on day one.

This was so helpful. Definitely calmed my nerves

Thank you very much for these sharings Kyle, it means so much for a freshly hired software engineer like me 🤝

If u work in a company and u don't get a mentor, I recommend asking people directly "hey dude, u wanna be my mentor?". Most developers will say yes and it's important to actually ask this. because it makes it "official" and you won't be the annoying guy who keeps interrupting the seniors

this video game at the perfect time. im a few weeks into my coding bootcamp. thanks for the tips.

It would be so dope if you got the web dev simplified logo/color scheme painted on the wall behind you! Or even a neon/LED sign. Thanks for the value 🤟

Great vid. Imo the most important thing in your early career (in any field really) is to develop your skills, make a name for yourself, and put more projects to your portfolio.

Thanks, Kyle 🙌

My god, I will be joining from January 1. And this came up. A heart for you.

WoW....Awesome Info....thanks...!!

Watching this while on my way to my first day of work as a front end developer ( junior academy) with a big company. Wish me luck 🤞. Oh mann, thank you for the insight!!

I like videos like this, it gets me so motivated. I do not have a real job yet because am still in my University, but hoping this is my last semester. I do however building a website for my brother's business. I think it will be difficult to find a job in my country because it's not a very developed place yet. Maybe I can become a freelancer or work remotely from here. And maybe one day I can move to somewhere for better opportunities.

This is so accurate 💯

Thank you !

Thank you, Kyle.

Awesome Video!

I work since last September, you really learn so much and a lot more if you are generally interested

Joined a mid large company for my first dev job in september, with one huge project which is 20 years old. Can confirm what you said, the project is scary but i get to know it better everyday and improve my skills rapidly. I am really happy with this job

2 months into my first job, still fixing css issues😭

I have just started to apply jobs and done couple of interviews. This came just in time

i enjoyed this video X)

Thanks a lot

Thank you

Thanks for the great (&relaxing) video :) Also, will you post a video on CSS assesment in LinkedIn?

Thank you kyle..

As someone hoping to land a job in the next year (career change) this video was very helpful. Thanks!

These things are literally happening to me rn. I was thinking that these days are so boring. And he is describing thoroughly this entire process. Thanks. Greatly appreciate this.

Started a software internship position in canda a week ago and this video is completely true.

Thank you soo much, wat an coincident, Tomorrow is my first day of my job 😊, And igot this video...

That's a great insight, thanks!

Changed two companies this year. I can say this is pretty accurate

I will be joining an organization as a Full-stack developer on Monday, so here I am.

how do you know and i got my first job. you posted your video at same day 👍👍👍

In a good case, you get a mentor or some senior dev that will watch out for you. I have also seen cases where companies would get junior or intern and basically, they would do the job of a senior dev plus senior designer plus senior product owner. This is bad and here is why: At first you would think oh but you learn a lot. Yes, you do but you also get into bad habits and bad practices. Yes, making mistakes in becoming a senior is something you will do but you also need someone to point out the mistakes and show you better ways. It is not good for you or for the company. Experience is not about knowing all the frameworks and languages. It about when to handle situations/features this or another way. Pushing back at the right time and explaining why this is not good what we are doing, just to name one example.

Hair is on point 🔥

Thanks for this excellent video Kyle how did you know I completed an internship Spooky!! 👀 best regards from Great Britain Newcastle 🏰👍

Hi Kyle, I have a question doesn't related to the subject of this episode but please help me how can I manage the content of my website(made by html css and Js) and create posts regularly 🙇🙇??!

Whats the best way to prepare prior to the start date, after accepting a full time offer?

Wow, thank you very much.. I can say that I am ready to get into one now!! Thank you for real this helps..

You have NOOOOOO idea how much this helped me. I'm on week 3 of my first frontend dev at a very big comapany with a code base that is HUUUUUUGE MASSIVE. I'm extremly stressed out cause I don't understand ANYTHING at all and I don't know what is expected from me. But I had to learn Redux and Saga in 1 week. I was wondering... is it always like this? Am I in the wrong place to be the first job? I was expecting css correction tickets, maybe some typo correction... IDK. But I have to re-create an entire feature from a legacy application to a new React redux Saga structure.

After my first year of uni in comp sci, can I get a simple comp sci internship

Hi Kyle I really enjoy your course but u was wondering on how to become an affiliate since I have a website with lots of traffic

I just have anxiety about WHEN to apply, and if understanding/patient people are a common encounter in the job, or if they'll be getting mad and yelling at you 'n shit all the time.. Self studying and 100% committed to breaking out of my comfort zone as an introvert, and going into web development. I'm great at talking with people and fitting in that way. Many would think i was an extrovert, but as far as the work goes, i just wonder what they expect. Do they expect lightning fast code typing speed? Do they expect you to be able to quickly read through code (lightning speed)? Just don't know what the average expectations are of newbies.

Wonderfull

I'm starting a junior front end role on Monday .... Just a little nervous ...

What if they tell you to program this for them

Bring coffee for the boss above you? Well, I knew this colonel that actually made fresh coffee every morning for his boss, a general. The colonel confided to me that he did it with much pleasure and he looked positively honest. Although the low file soldiers were supposed to make the coffee. Morale of the story: Colonel became a general. I lost contact with him. But you have a good point. Some organizations don’t see it that way. Military and civilian industries basically operate the same way: newbie or lower file employee moves up by subjecting to them bosses. Culture in military and corporate structured organizations are quite the same. But then there’s the trashy bunch where these things get you nowhere but to leave this dumpy jobs.

If only I knew this earlier, my life would be much easier

hello brother, i love all of your video's. but one thing you have created a video of codepen clone using react and i like that video very much and i have implemented it but how can i create a folders or files in it. i have tried to implement this feature but every time it failed . please can you make a video on how making a folders and files in it. this video will help me a lot. THANKS IN ADVANCE. mohammed khaja mohiddin

My job does none of this I just got thrown from a developer job to a automation testing I don’t develop anything all I do is sit here and debug stuff

I graduated from a web-dev bootcamp 2 years ago(javascript, react, node.js, and angular) although i graduated, i lacked the confidence to actually apply to any jobs, so I studied salesforce and was able to obtain a certification, which led to me being offered an internship. My boss eventually told me the main reason he hired me was beacuse of my experience in web-development even though the internship is supposed to be for salesforce stuff. Now obviously i told him i would be open to any development work he had for me and he told me there is a good chance of getting hired on as a junior developer after the internship depending on my performance the thing is its been almost 2 years since i have done any coding, and even back then, i relied a bunch on stack overflow, and my classmates.... am i screwed???

Agreed

Hey I have a question, where can we find programmers? I mean is their any website where we can find people that program apps / website. Love the content btw

Sir what do junior dev do

Wtf? I never got that much training. So far I'm figuring everything out myself with the exception of the occasional walk through.

Interviewed for an internal Assoc Software Engineer. Only really know SQL(newbie) which was their requirement. Waiting to hear back. I know that I am under qualified and I assume the other interviewees are over qualified. I also assume they are external. So I am nervous.

Node js vs Django Which is best, and tell the difference please

I plan on applying in June and I'm so stressed... I constantly think what will happen if I don't know how to do something?!

as a first job, ide really recommend staying away from startups, literally wish I had what this video said when I started this job..

My only two jobs as a developer did not offer training or credentials to access their tools, yet they expected me to get work done since day one. bruh

Holy shit! I am so early

❤❤

His eyes 😍

Iam starting tomorrow as Frontend developer(React.js). Tips please...

I started worikng at my first dev job last week (C#, .net, MS SQL) and I know It is stupid But I feel so worried becaues the company has this one product and it is huge. I know it is gonna take several months for me to see the patterns and things like that. You know what I mean I am not a native speaker. I hope I am not gonna fail :S :/

I learnt so much in my first year and then it ended.

✨

Will companies make junior programmers work at night, exceed 5pm? Or it is fixed 9 - 5pm.

I am waiting for a guitar tutorial

Why You have left the office work? Tired? Bored?

Should I compromise on the salary for the first year and focus on the learning or should I keep looking for better opportunities? P.S. I've joined my first company this month.

My first job meant working weekends for me...

Do you get paid as an intern/junior developer?

My first job, they threw me in the fire.

I don't get it: did other subscribers (except for this 15k) die out there?

picture in thumbnail? can i get?

u play guitar?

If I get paid the same as a developer while running back and forth for coffee...honestly, that sounds pretty good.

They don't give a damn untill I do reach them and insist on guiding me to solve my problems. Am loosing my interest in working for them.

Just out of curiosity, can I know which company do you work at?

I develop my self in web and english in your channel but you talk fast ,with Regards from Syria
