My New Life Living in NYC as a Software Engineer

well I finally did it. Left my hometown and everything behind to chase dreams in #nyc. In this video, I’ll share what my days have been like in this vibrant new place as I try to get my life together and my #routine as a software engineer. Along with a quick studio apartment tour, and exploring the city.

Don’t forget to leave a like, and let me know what you would like to see next! 🙂

Wecome to NY! As a Young-adult who's trying to get into coding, you serve as a big inspiration. Thanks for making content.

Massive move/change of pace man, you'll no doubt adjust in no time. Stoked for some of the NYC content to come 💯

I failed my last semester as a civil engineer undergrad at UH and it has been the toughest month of my life.
Brian, watching this video has inspired to keep going. Enjoy the big city, new life, and all of the blessings/stresses that come along with it!
Love the content and best wishes on this new journey.

I'm really excited for your NYC content. By the way, nice editing bro. I really liked it, minimal and classic. And love the intro.

Great video, but I've gotta admit I'm saddened. When I found your channel it was refreshing because it seemed most software engineer vloggers, or a lot of ditl vloggers all lived in New York, and you live in Texas, Houston especially. It was great to see someone rep the hometown. I will agree that Houston is not a city that lends itself to content creation. It's spread far, car centric, and congested. New York is walkable with tons history, and lots of other creators to collaborate with. You're young and should live life to the fullest, and I wish you the best of luck. I look forward to the NYC vlogs but will miss the Houston ones.

As someone whose dream since being a 7 year old boy was to move to and live in New York City, this video was absolutely beautiful. That intro, slow jazz music and city shots just captured the beauty of this place in such awe inspiring fashion. Beautiful video Brian and congrats on the promotion 🤙🏻!
