An *eventful* Day in the Life of a Google Software Engineer (NYC Edition)

22 year old does coding, gym, dogs, ping pong, nightlife and more. Follow me through my day (and night) as a software engineer in New York City!

DISCLAIMER: While everything in this video did happen on the same day, I had to use alternate footage for a few things like ping pong, because I wasn't able to get permission from everyone that was in the original footage. Something cool though is that the fireworks were from the same night, and it wasn't even July 4th!

Also, this definitely wasn't a typical day, since on most weekdays I just go home after the gym.

Lived this life on my 20s and it was great. Now I'm 45 and long retired living outside of Boulder, Colorado with no one around for 4 to 5 miles in any direction. I love the peace and quiet now. Enjoy it, because the years go by fast.

Definitely cherish these days forever. Great to see you work hard and have fun too. And nice bench and shoulder presses 💪💪💪

This was dope man, great work! Just started my job here in NYC doing consulting so cool to see a lot of similarities between our lives. Looking forward to more vlogs like this one!

Really enjoyed the video. I've been interested in coding for awhile now and it's great to see a glimpse into the lifestyle. That view at 3am of the city is superb also.

Been having a lot of thought of doing software engineer as a career. This video is giving me motivation lol. Thanks man and keep up the work.

Awesome vlog Matt!! Very inspirational and fun to watch haha 😁

I have watched quite a few 'day in the life of a SWE' videos, but this one really stands out. Thank you.

[razijukes]

This gotta be one of the best day in life videos I've ever seen so far 🔥

[notorious]

I wouldn't mind a life like this at all. My current days consist of having a career crises cause I'm so unsure of what I want to do in tech but this fully swayed me. Thank you :) I know it's like 1 day out of many possibly boring/harder ones but the way things are going for me rn, one day of this is enough for a whole year

[themilkiestmanalive]

this is the best/most realistic day in the life video I've seen for software engineers. I think it has the best balance, which is what I want.

[owenmurphy]

this was actually super fun to watch! Glad to see the fun activities at night !

[imtired]

I swear to myself that I will study and work hard to achieve this kind of life. Please upload more of your SE days. It's very inspiring to watch, especially after a long day of coding. I'm still a first year college student hhayss
