A Day In The Life Of An Amazon Software Engineer (Seattle Edition)

A day of my life (post pandemic, kinda, most people are still WTH) working from Amazon Seattle HQ. You'll get a campus and Spheres tour, plus you'll get to meet my cute golden retriever Nala :) Thank you so much for your support!

This is not an official Amazon video.

Check out my photography:

They should show this to any new employee, not just for Amazon but any technology company, about what it means to have "work life balance". Great video!

Man, I think that is a cool sight from life of software engineer, but sometimes we have hard times and, once, we wake up with new idea to overcome obstacles and continue to live on for brightest future! 🎇✨

I work in healthcare and I am chained to my desk from 08:00 to 17:30 and I get a 30 min break all day!! Your job seems like bliss!!

As someone who works at a competitor in Redmond, it's always fascinating to see what other Seattle tech employees do in their day to day. Great video!

Man, Albert! Thanks for taking us with you and sharing with us a day in the life of a SE! Love seeing Nala making a cameo!

Its so cool to see how the Amazon office is so beautiful!! Continue with videos man!! I loved that experience of walk inside a amazon office!!

Thank you so much Albert. You've really inspired me when I was preparing myself to become a Software Engineer!. When I watched this video I said to myself: "Wow, I want this". I know this is a long learning way but now I can say that finally I've reached my main goal... and it'll continue. Thanks a lot bro!

Seeing this as someone who's basically coding from 7am til 4pm honestly just makes me wonder when the work actually gets done and how much gets done., en yet I'm envious of the amount of time you had in this day to just mess around and exist. I work from home and sometimes I honestly feel like the pressure to do shit all the time is constant.

[egyptkenya]

I loved this! Best one I seen so far! Thank you for sharing your day with us. Very inspiring!

[Virru]

Love the vid; shows how much you get done in a day and not just work-wise but fitting in personal time too.

[todhold]

He could have done all of this from the comfort of his own home and kept the dog company.

Very appreciate you posting this video. Working for the City of Bellevue, just down the street, it is good to know how life could be on just up the street from me. Appreciate your videos and thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us.

hey man would be cool to see a video on your journey to becoming a software engineer at Amazon...like if you went to college and what prior experience you had, etc.

[Itachi.Uchiha.Offical]

Thanks, finally somebody puts a normal song into one of these videos. I can't here the lofi-dingle-dong anymore.

[mizukame]

Been some time since you uploaded this, but I'm amazed your workday is this chill, makes me wonder if all big IT-oriented companies treat their developers this well. You work 2 less hours than my bro who's also a software developer if we take into account the in-between gym and relaxing hour, and very likely have WAY more perks from Amazon. Of course, we live in Mexico, so yeah...

I won't comment from the sysadmin point of view though, I know our work is vastly different, even if it sounds like the same thing to society.

Happy for ya to see you doing good!

Cool video! I'm a former Amazon engineer but didn't have quite that much freedom a decade ago! I'm a self-employed consultant now and take with me a lot of what I learned during my time there! Keep up the great work!

[imperialchalice]

Loved the banana lady haha, and Nala. What an ideal work-life balance. Definitely goals.

[HorrifyingReviews]

Im not going to lie here, your directing skills is amazing. This video has given me more inspiration. Thank you!.

[grandeurokiki]

I'm really inspired by this video. The way you balance your work life and your personal life 🤝🏾. Thanks 🤗
