Thank you, This video was actually pretty useful. I'm definitely thankful that someone out there is actually mentioning the mundane and less fun parts of the job, rather then just over glamorize everything and make it seem like all a software engineer does is eat food, exercise, and chill with co workers. This is gold.

Omg. I could not keep a job because I hated it, I'm glad I can relate to someone and I'm also shifting to the tech industry because I find myself having fun with it. I still have a lot to learn but I believe I will eventually be good at it when I start early. Thank you again.

7:35 haha very funny! Your videos are just amazing! Keep making such videos. Btw any plans for joining Product based companies? because you're capable enough to crack such tedious interviews.

So what you're saying is, it's boring but well paid? Cool. My current job is boring and not well paid 🤣🙈

Hey I have a question, how do you schedule and learn with all that time? If you work a full time job and want to live a healthy life by working out and etc, how do you learn new things and build your own projects while still maintaining a balance instead of sitting all day in front of the computer, sometimes there is a feeling that I can’t focus from burn out, can you make a video about how do you plan the times and schedules to work, learn and have a balance? Would appreciate that, keep up the videos.
