Ben: *wakes up*
Angular: “oh sh** here we go again”

[aryanshmahato]

Ben: *Thinking about making a video*

Angular: *Fear Sweating*

1:42 "It is a huge turn-off when I see the company do so many things just to make the world a worse place: most notably, create Angular JS". LOL

Netflix needs to give Ben a comedy special 😂

Ben : Doesn't say Ex googler, Ex Faceooker
TechLead : 👀

I work for a small company in a lead role where i get absolute freedom of tech and a vested interest in the company. Its rare to find a fellow engineer with the same mindset as myself. Youve hit the nail on the head mate. I also find with the aspiring devs who are focused on these huge companies to be some of the worst and who only care about the status of the job and not the actual job it self.

Ironic part is to see a Algoexpert ad the end,
"Do you want to be a software engineer at Google"
Me - Yeah, I mean I wanted to, but not sure now

Techlead gonna take up carrot farming after that burn.

This is becoming a troll channel... And I'm here for it.

This is insanely late but I want to work an easy (non-stressful) remote job that doesn't take too much time but pays well because I'll have experience. This way, I can focus on something I'm more passionate about.

Don't get me wrong, I like coding, but I'm not obsessed with it. As a job, it's comfortable but challenging in it's own way but it doesn't have any social ties that I wish it had. Why people have their lives based off of software is beyond me when there's so much more to life than writing code for a company that sees you as replaceable. Work for an easier company, get paid a little less, and be happier.

I'm also quite uncomfortable with the obsession around working at fang. The same way that in entrepreneurship, getting VC money used to be glamourous and now the mindset on that has really shifted, we need to also realize that working for these companies shouldn't necessarily be a goal in itself. Thanks for making a video on this topic 🙌🏻

You'll never know how it is until the moment you experience it. I had the same thoughts of you before I joined a major company here in my country, the one that everybody dreams of working at, and being there I confirmed most of my assumptions, similar to yours, but on the other side I learned so much stuff I didn't even know existed, both technical and no technical knowledge. Now I moved to a smaller company because it fits better with my life, but I'm extremely glad I had that experience, both nice and not so nice stuff I experienced there are things that definitely shaped my career as a professional. To anyone who is starting his/her career, if you read this, I'm not trying to deny what Ben says, but if you have the chance, don't close to it. You can have assumptions and experiences from others, but small, middle, large companies, or even having your own, they all have different dynamics and rich room to anyone to take key lessons from them. Be open to experience it all, you'll ve glad for it later in your career.

[hnasr]

[Supersonicboom]

Wow it's so uplifting to hear other people going through and thinking about the same problems, I was starting to feel frustratedly alone. This video really picked my up, much love!

[PetePeteRepeat]

This is simultaneously some serious information and a whole ass comedy show 😂

[lordswaggity]

Most notably, creating *AngularJS* 🤣🤣🤣
