What Do Software Engineers ACTUALLY Do?

In this video, I will talk about what software engineers actually do all day.

Software engineering is much more than just sitting behind a computer 8 hours a day and coding. There are increasingly tough responsibilities that software engineers need to take on which is partially why the field has such high salaries and great perks (at least in big tech).

Keep watching to get the full breakdown!

When you said "the like button", the like button actually flashed it's borders. Pretty cool.

It's good to see a SE from my home country helping others land a job at tech companies.I'm so proud of you bro.

When the client has an issue and you get paged at 2:37AM…😔

*An issue I’ve never faced, but do not envy* 😂

Thank you so much for the information. I thought about this field last week and thought that I needed a job where it's not stressful and that I can work on a computer. I've been in the medical field for over 18 years and I'm kind of burnt out and need something different.

I’m becoming an engineer to block YouTube ads for real. 😂

[Nemayan]

Am proud to know you ❤❤....am about to start software engineering lessons and this has been so helpful 😊

[nikky]

for once in my life i finally understand this field. Every other youtube vid ive watched made it so damn complex

[kbrx]

You can't believe how much this video helped me understand and have a very wide view on what software engineers do! I'm in my first year studying Computer Science and I was so confused about what I would actually do in the future. May Allah SWT bless you.

This is a really really good video. I was watching another "no-bs, heres how it is" video before this one but it was really vague and jumped around a lot and didnt really talk about the actual work more of the idea? or a software engineer? anyway, You were very organized and gave good chunk categories of the main work and summaries of each category to understand what the work is. someone cant just say "coding" like coding what? where? so thank you for this. This solidified my decision to continue being in the medical field for sure tho haha thank you!

I’ve always wanted to be a SE this vid makes everything so clear.

I’ve been watching you since 2022, now I’m a junior student in cs. Thanks all

1:05 Have you noticed the feature on YouTube where the like button shows animations whenever the creator mentions it during their video?

[Karyzn]

I've been in Cyber security for 12 years. Mainly doing RMF/IA/compliance work and I can't stand it. Ive decided to try and pivot into software engineering. I loved programming in school and think its worth a revisit to hopefully make me enjoy work again!!

[nastyonekenoby]

Thanks for the info, buddy. Much appreciated.
