I'm skeptical about their honesty. I think most of them are afraid that one of their colleagues or their boss will see the video, so it's better to say you like your job otherwise you risk running into troubles.
And yet Apple, Google Facebook etc still laid off 10000+ employees that “LOVED” their jobs! Fuck em
Yep. You have to be “passionate”. You can’t be cynical and burned out.
Is it really that impossible to enjoy your job? I don't think so - I work in video games, and there's plenty of natural enthusiasm from at least some people. Others are mostly neutral.
For sure
It’s not so much as the ability to do it, it’s either am I producing something that is interesting.
The guy who said like but not love is pretty accurate. There's always bs you have to deal with wherever you work. Hopefully overall the pros just outweigh the cons. And at the end of the day you're just doing it to earn a living and survive.
Yess thank you!
It’s not like if their job told them they’d pay for them to paint or go on walks instead of coding, they’d say no.
Yeah I’m not under the impression I’m gonna love my job. I just need it to not encroach into my life too much and for it to not be toxic
@German Scientist hey sir i am from indian and i am from Humanities background you can say social sciences and i want to switch it to tech by doing something called BCA in india as i dont have science in my senior secondary i am not eligible for many colleges but i dont want to study social sciences more now can you please guide me is there any change to get addmission in foreign is the stream really matters at the time of taking addmission and i am not that financially strong so please give a glimpse of cost of living it would be really helpful for me Thank you Himanshu this side..
I currently work as a software engineer at a large bank (one of the big 4 banks). I f**king hate it so much. When I was in college, I was so excited to graduate and get a job. Now I realize what I really liked about coding was just building my own stuff.
Nothing is worth your health man. If they're overworking you, make a change so you can appreciate the smaller things. I know it's not always feasible but you need to be the one forcing yourself to make a change, or it will never happen.
Hey man I hope you can find a more lax job in the future, but at least for now you’re making huge stacks since I know those banks pay good
I'm in early 30's because I keep bouncing around different things just quickly gaining proficiency and just starting in some career path, and then I get the passion destroyed in the job. At least when I had some programming classes they were the only time I actually read every last assigned reading and got fully immersed in coding morning to night with my free time. I worked IT for some years in a big company. I can either resume it or switch to programming. The way I am considering it is which one will keep me sharp on a skill I will actually utilize in life. And which one will be less on call.
@@AndrewPribadi Hey man, thanks. I'm currently working on computer graphics related side projects in my spare time. The dream was always to be a graphics programmer in the games industry, but it is very difficult to land a job there. I already know my salary working on games would likely be much lower than what I'm making now, but honestly, I don't care. I just want to enjoy the work I'm doing and be excited to do it.
@@noornasri5753 Hey, thanks for your comment. It's not that I'm overworked. I actually have a very flexible schedule and working from home makes it even better. It's the day-to-day work that I actually do and the corporate environment that I really dislike. Hate was probably too strong of a word for me to have used in my original post. I'm just naturally drawn to more creative kinds of work.
I loved this. Currently I’m at my first internship as a software engineer and I won’t lie, transitioning from college to real world application is rough af. You go from really only learning basics and theory and then you get thrown to the wolves where you have to learn a new code base and start really applying yourself and start learning by yourself in your free time. It’s hard work but so fulfilling and fun when it all works!
Hey thats great to hear hope you keep the additude up! Im currently in my first year software engineer.and im loving it so much learning rapidly creating things you have to brain storm to get it working its so much fun! But im worried that if I cant do it in the jobs irl then im a failure
@@TeamROsky reading your comment made me really happy for some reason wishing you all the best for the future
@@monopoly340 glad to hear it made you happy! Wishing you the same as well ^^

Software engineers are generally pretty smart people, this extends outside of tech. Many of my friends who are successful and have started their own companies are also very existential and balanced. Nothing is perfect all the time and the beauty of life is riding the waves. Compared to my non-tech friends, they do truly have more freedom in work, finances, and experiences.

It's pretty telling how some people are answering this question as if they're being asked about it in a job interview, just pre-rehearsed answers like "flexibility in solving ambiguous problems" without being too direct. It's okay if you don't like your job, you don't have to convince yourself you like it, and you definitely don't have to convince others. You definitely don't have to convince yourself that your job at this major corporation is important/unique/affecting any actual change. It's a job, software engineers get paid relatively well compared to most other workers. Just collect the check, and focus on enjoying your life and helping people.
I didnt personally understand those responses the same way you did. Canned answers are a great way to not show up on a youtube video looking like a jackass saying there is something wrong with your company lmao. I understood flexibility to mean something like, hey I work from home and sometimes that means I work for 4 hours, then take a 3 hour lunch where I nap. Then log back on for a meeting before I play video games with my friends for a bit. Finish the day out with some emails and call it a day. Engineering isnt a 9-5 type job. I could take a 2 hour bike ride and be "working" by thinking about the problem as I stroll. Im not saying they definitely meant it my way, just thats how I interpreted it.
...or these people genuinely love that aspect about their jobs? I think this is in SF, and these people work at some of the biggest, most innovative tech companies in the world. Working for a company like FB or Google or Microsoft isn't like working at some no-name company. These people are very cognizant about what kind of company they want to work for. They don't just go to work to make money and then go home. To them it isn't just another "big corporation" job. If they don't feel intellectually and/or morally productive at the company, they wont work there. They actually care about the kind of work they do because they value their time, intellect, and effort. Which is why they answer that way.
NPCs
LOL jokes. It’s very sad and says a lot about you for 2 reasons First, you’re very immature and have little life experience. Probably not very smart. That guy ENJOYs solving problems. You must not have any passions, and are projecting that’s to other people Second, your judgement based on your own ignorance breeds more ignorance, surprise! This man’s job provides him with a level of respect for his time. Not only is he given time to solve problems, but he can use that extra time for enjoying his life Take care!
lmao, you sound like you don’t work in IT, it’s actually a valid aspect. If you looked at the guy he was all hyped up about it, it’s not something he was told to tell by HR
I am retired after working as software engineer for 47 years. I think it was the best career choice. You are a good fit for the job if you are a slightly compulsive puzzle-solver. Writing software will be a bit like playing a game of chess. It will feel like good brain-exercise, much like running for some people is a feel-good muscle exercise. You will develop personal software all the time for your own use, as much as on-the-job, and will do it as much for the fun of it as for the utility of your toys and tools.
"Compulsive Problem-solver" you just described me 🥲
This gives me hope/confirmation bias
10 years of experience here. I'd be curious how much change you experienced during your career? It seems like every 12-18 months everything changes and nothing is sticky enough to be stable
"you like chess" i think i Should be out
@@agenericboringhomosapien8108 Hey you don't have to like chess, I don't and I love coding
Most people don’t love their job, asking if they LIKE what they do is more insightful but just my opinion...also making their identities anonymous would probably garner more honest responses.
definitely agree
Every job is like this. Some will love it and others are doing it just as work. It’s still a good path to take. Once you get the degree at least your doors are open for a whole lot of other jobs. You don’t have to remain a software engineer if it is truly making you miserable and it can.
What other kinds of jobs does a CS degree open doors for? I assumed the skills aren't very transferrable outside the profession.
@@emily_online anything tech related like: tech consulting, sales, business...
@@emily_online I'm definetely looking more into sales than SWE. I got 1 year left of school and will probably work a SWE role to gain some experience, but I know sales is a lot more lucrative.
you can self teach in this department and basically move into any field as well, don't fall for the degree trick.
@@emily_online you don't actually need a degree for anything, just meet someone in the field, learn and attack. edit: ok, not ANYTHING, you can't be neuro surgeon without a degree, but anything outside of a top lawyer or doctor and you're good.
You know that last guy that said “no”, I can relate with the most. I mean I’m too young for a job and stuff, but I agree when he said most of the things he does is just for survival, because sometimes I feel like that too, which is sad, but that’s the harsh reality of life sometimes. It’s not always fun and easy, there is challenges and problems to get past too.
There's an extrovert bias among the interviews but it's probably not a bad thing to showcase some of the more positive examples. The negative examples are plentiful in places like Blind and maybe reddit.
@Master & Commander It's just more likely for people there are burnt out or depressed to stay home and be in bed all day. There's also another bias in that they don't want to get fired.
Can you find any job where people are entirely positive? Working sucks. I'd rather be building software than digging a ditch.
Extrovert bias? Is that synonymous with positive?
@@fitzrevo introverts aren't typically eager to have an impromptu conversation on camera about whether or not they "like" their place of employment. don't be obtuse.
Software engineer myself and I like what guy said about liking, but not loving his job. You are usually surrounded by pleasant comfortable environment, bonuses, paychecks, flexibility, etc. But to LOVE exactly your job and daily tasks, not surroundings, idk, man. For all super-positive answers, there should be next confirmation question: if you truly LOVE that, would you really do the same for free as your hobby?
Yeah if you wouldn’t do it for free you probably don’t "love" it
@@serafim7779 Well part of the reason I "love" it is because of the pay. In comparison to every other job in the world I love it for sure.
I don't think software engineers in general likes the job. What they usually like is what their job allows them to do. Some can do their job duties without being tied to one location, some have lexible schedules, some have great paycheck that lets them to spend time on their hobbies or just allows them to have certain luxuries etc. (Of course benefits highly depend on the company you work for, but I have only met 1 software engineer who actually is obsessively passionate about programming. So I assume it's safe to say that job itself isn't likeable).
As a software engineer, this seems pretty much it. Software engineering is a huge huge field, with lots of mobility and options. Its a career that is very "alive" at the moment, so there are a lot of opportunities to find something that you like in a place that you want to work in. Is this career something that people are passionate about? Yes and no, a lot of my peers picked this career because there was something they loved about it, but work in general sucks the joy out of everything. People certainly enjoy parts of their job, but most of them have other activities that make them happier, that's how it works in the industry. Plus, the pay is great, there is a certain freedom that you get that doesn't make you love the career, but makes you thankful to it. Doing something that you like to enjoy a livestyle that you love.

I know a lot of software engineers because of my social circle.. most are very sad with their job and depressed about it.
Then they are probably good engineers. 👍
@@hannesRSA sad but true ahah
Why?
I also know a lot of software engineers and it's the opposite experience for me. Most people aren't sad or depressed. Sure, they might not necessarily *love* their job, but they are paid well to solve interesting problems. Most of them enjoy their work to some degree and definitely aren't sad or depressed.
Anyone with any job can be sad or depressed about it. Do you think its fun laying asphalt or being a plumber? Jobs suck, but at least in software, you get to sit down and build things without having to cater to people all day or whatever else people do.
I work in tech, but I got into it after working shitty retail jobs for a decade. In comparison to retail, I really love my job lol. But working on a computer 40 hours a week, day in and day out is exhausting and bad for your eyes. I'd love to get to a place where I'm working 3 days a week in the future.
I appreciate the salesman's candor. Be honest with yourself, this is necessary.
Developers make sure you go outside and get plenty of sun the high depression rates can be attributed the huge amount of hours spent in front of a screen. Vitamin D is important.
Agree. This advice goes for almost every office job.
Would help if my city didn't smell like piss and made me even more depressed.
Thanks Namanh for this video!! Kinda motivating!!👍
thanks for watching!
They are being filmed, how honest will you really be about your tech job that could easily find your interview? I'm sure some enjoy it, but love it? hmmm, maybe. I think he should have had the follow-up question of "What would make your job even better?" then I think we would get a glimpse into that pov
These videos are inspirational and amazing🔥🔥.. Really like your KZhead content.
thanks!!
It would be interesting to see you come to Europe and ask this and see how answers vary. Perhaps it was my perception but it feels like for some of the ppl interviewed they have tied their personalities to their company and not career choice so they want to wow you with their company. Which bears the question, do you tell them what you do for a living? (Purely based on their responses I would assume they have no idea you also work in tech and youtube is a side hustle)
that’s a great observation, would be cool to do a comparison - and i love europe, hope to visit soon!
Americans take more pride in their work and opportunities . Europe is socialist and entitled
Their answers are the model replies you give at big firm interviews. I love the challenge and freedom to solve unspecified problems! It sounds like the very essence of corporate America. Having worked in a Fortune 100 and going through multiple rounds of interviews, I have given the same answers and you would not be wrong to expect very little people in the company are actually that excited about selling their soul to the job.
@@sunlightdavid Each time you hear someone say "i'd love a challenge on ..." remember that they have knowledge on this topic . each time you hear someone say "I'm an expert in ..." remember that they already work at least once on the tech. and bim bam boum , HR file decrypt. people in America just talk like their life are threatened by unemployment.(And maybe it is ?) When in doubt "fake it till you make it".
Not true. Americans have better salaries, that’s why they take “pride”
You are so personable :) great video!
"Do you like being a software engineer or unemployed better?" Maaan you sound like a boss threatening his employee. Hahahaha!
brutally honest
I love being able to program for a living, but people that haven’t programmed probably don’t get the idea of how stressful it is to code. Especially trying to fix bugs from your programs when there is a deadline coming up soon. I love it but I can’t deny the level of stress that could potentially come
I like these interview type videos 🔥🔥
i love these interview type videos. 😁
🙏
I'm glad I switched from coding to teaching other people how to code. I have felt physical changes and have been able to come off two mental health medications I was on. Coding is awesome, I love it. But the deadlines, restrictions, working with an existing code base that I have to adapt to and learn... that stuff is not fun to me, and as an instructor all that part is gone. I instead get to do all the fun parts all the time
Do you mentor or have a school or...?
@@majmunovski I teach for the Hack Reactor bootcamp program from Galvanize
MS CS Georgia Tech. I am a professor at a community college. I love going to work, when I do. I teach 8 months out of the year and spend a month to two months in France every summer. My salary isn't as high, but I have more money than I need and full state-government-employee benefits. You couldn't pay me enough to work 50+ hours a week for 48+ weeks a year instead 30ish hours a week for 30 weeks a year.
Love your videos. Keep up
appreciate the support!
Here’s a better question, would you be happier rich and not work or get paid and work for the well-paying job you “supposedly” love? Most people will choose the first option unless they do something like sports or travel or something that is actually enjoyable. If they love solving ambiguous problems would they still love their job if they were paid minimum wage? Salary will always be a factor behind any “love” for a job especially for tech. I think these people are answering based on a relative scale. Do you love your job (compared to all other possible jobs out there/previous ones you’ve had)? Seems to be implied.
These days, programming you can do from wherever you want. And however much that you want. If you can earn a thousand dollars a month remotely, you can be as free as you want. And that is a beauty of it.
San Francisco is as techy as it gets, thus it cost a fortune to live there. If the people there don't love their jobs, imagine what other people in less glamorous cities and countries are feeling.
Did you watch the video? Almost all of them do enjoy their jobs.
@@gorgolyt a bit of a bias because if they say they don’t like it, it can be used against them for firing. Plus, those who are willing to get interviewed are more likely to say yes.
In my current position, I really try to talk with my colleagues a lot (I have 2 colleagues im on very friendly terms with), but it's honestly still a somewhat lonely job. I feel like I am very extroverted compared to everyone else there. It's my first job after uni. Atm. I don't really like my job.
As an introvert with a colleague that sounds like you, I appreciate folks like you man.
You know man. I'm pretty introverted but I joke around to keep the atmosphere good. But we were in a stand up where one of the only very extroverted people were missing, and we pretty much sat there and stared at each other until the po finally joined lmao
Hi Namanh Kapur, here sumit from MIT University thank you so much for making informative contents and I and my collegues requesting to you can you make videos on: asking software engineers how they got in HFT companies like Citadel, Jane Street, Two Sigma, Jump Trading, Optiver, MongoDB...
I used to love my job because I like building things and being fast with that. I don't like the politics aspect of it that much though.
My boy Namanh looking fly as hell with the 80s Miami resort shirt and the godly hair
I used to be a professional mover. Coding isnt my favorite thing to do but it pays so well I’ll never go back
3:55 Whats a PM? Also 5:00 what part of digital advertising is software engineering? I like that those guys help small businesses grow.
3:55 Product Manager / Project Manager 5:00 - He works at Google but isn't a software engineer, rather in Sales to sell Google Adwords to small businesses where the small businesses can bid on "keywords" / search terms where their product is recommended at the top of the page
self taught engineer here, I found it incredibly difficult working with college kids over self taught types, to a point I only work on solo projects at this point, I'd say I love doing it on my own time

i have 7 years experience. the job, ehhh....not passionate. but my side projects I LOVE. mobile apps and game dev. my job teaches me new and interesting ways to spice up my code on my projects. my job is basically for income and living. i work so i can have fun. i DO NOT mix work and my passion. (full stack engineer)
Kaise hain Namanh bhai, Why don't you start some tutorial videos on the channel? By the way, amazing content.
I won't say I love, but comparing to other "regular" jobs this is the best for my preference.
Hey i recently watched your video about learning how to code, I was just curious what you recommend to use to learn coding?
Don’t.
I'll recommend you to start with youtube tutorials first. Identify if like frontend or backend more. You might want to start with frontend first so I'll recommend you a channel called "Traversy media". Go do hands on HTML in 1 hour and then continue with javascript & then css. And you will pick up from there
I'm a Software Developer (for a bank) I don't like my job, I just do it for the money... and to pay the bills... and to be financially secure. I don't see nothing wrong with that, others do worse jobs and are paid way less. Just being honest here.
Most of the people here aren’t honest, because they think that their boss or one of their colleagues will watch the video which could really impact their careers.
good on you bro, get that bag. 9/10 are in it for the same reason.
3:40 dream job since I was a child??? How tf did you know about how a product design engineer even exists as a child. Some people have had such high exposure to these things as a kid and this just goes to show how big of a difference that makes
Kind of a pointless video to make. Are you really expecting anyone being interviewed to be honest? What if people said they hated their job and their boss or someone at their company happened to watch this video? They'd get fired instantly. Most of the answers given for loving their job are just the most generic shit you'd hear in any interview: "I love being challenged..." "I love the people" lmao. If you want real answers just go on Blind and you'll find that those really don't match what is being said in this video.
A lots of ❤️ love from India 🇮🇳
I work with devs, surrounded by them. You can’t generalise and say devs do or don’t like what they do - it’s as personal to the person as the love for any job would be in any field. Great pay, working on cool things (where relevant) and with good people all help ofc though.
Great video
"Do you love your job? Btw, your current employer and future employers may watch this video."
I feel like these responses would change based on where you live, Cali is known for having a very relaxed atmosphere where not much work is done outside of meetings
in what world is any amount of concrete work done in meetings
A lot of them give off the “Disney adult” vibe.
I'm at Google right now and I'm really trying to switch companies rn, but too lazy to interview prep
it do be tough
You got into Google... No way you're lazy lol
Drop a referral 😊😊
The guy sitting on the grass with the brown pants pass that ☭ vibe
I noticed that they all have superior communication skills. You could be a 4.0 students, but if your communication skills suck, you'll be unemployed.
These guys make like 250k plus . Of course they will love what they do .

i love my job. My job is Salesforce Administrator
let’s gooooo
I hear Salesforce people do be loving their Salesforce job. Captain Sinbad was one of them.
I’m a software engineer and tbh I love what I do
Entertaining ❤️🐐
thanks boss
I'm cheering for you Kevin /g
"Yes and no" is a good answer. Earning money and solving problems is great. Being a "human resource" not so much.
Shoutouts to the last one, the only person I can actually understand although I assume everyone else thought about the implications of their answer if their employer were to see it As a software engineer I haven't found a single company whose values/goals are aligned with mine in the slightest The work you want to do is either an exploitative mess full of terrible people (aka the vg industry) or just doesn't allow you to survive (aka actual useful social work that applies to anyone) Meanwhile, tons of giant companies employ half the world by subcontracting in the scamiest way possible to save money, and take decades to deliver the simplest change just to raise their profit margin by like 3% And then the only person who gets rewarded is the CEO Yeah, fuck that, I don't hate >my< job, I hate the concept of jobs and working in general, whenever u guys ready call me for revolution, I'll either be on the verge of scd or gone from the world lmao
relatable and i agree
totally agree. is like most of the persons interviewed are not even asking themselves the right questions
I used to love it but now it's alright. I like the freedom better 🤣
doing mob programming or pair programming make the work way more interesting.
so much money, then to realize you don’t really care. money doesn’t buy happiness, important to find a balance.
Where did you find these many nerds in one place
I think the number of people in the tech industry that do not love their job is very small. Most of the time they don't like the projects they are working on or the tech. Many people complain they don't make this and that amount of money and I tell them to try to work as a bagger at Publix, Walmart maybe Home Depot! 🤣
Man what are you taking about. If you want to become a millionaire you have to a software engineer or else your life is f****d. Rest all the jobs are S**t. Software engineers are real OG's.
If you love it would do it for free as a hobby if you were rich?
Where are my boys QA testers, are they non existent in San Francisco?
1:24 looks like LOFE huh? LOL
What kinda park is that? All software Engineers
Not all, but easy to find!
Must be VR
On some days like it on some days hate it. But I could say the same thing about my life.
Nothing enrages me more than a software developer from SF complaining about not earning enough. As if 350k a year isn't an ungodly amount of money. These people have no clue about the struggles of the working class.
Isn’t living in SF much more expensive ??
@@MiguelGebremedhin even when you factor that in they still make loads of money to the point they shouldn’t be looking for more pay and should be looking for cheaper housing, because outside of that cost everything cost around the same in terms of a car, food, and all the online shopping people do
@@MiguelGebremedhin i knew a girl getting paid 50k a year as a geologist who lived in SF. Had 6 roommates and one bathroom for all of them, basically lived out of her car half the time given she spent so much time in the field. yeah it's expensive but people are also just greedy. understandable i suppose but somewhat revolting knowing how many have so little and are actually grateful for it.
Maybe it’s because I’m looking at entry level jobs, but those jobs aren’t paying anywhere near 350K
Anyone know where he recorded this?

This felt awkward to watch given the mass layoffs in the Bay Area.

@@keepitretrox it’s the constant churn of having to throw out everything and relearn everything time after time which wears you down. The cycle is even quicker now, and you’ll burn out even faster.

Most of these people get jobs in the IT field because they know they are higher paying jobs than most. Doesn't matter if they don't have a passion or actually affinity with programming. Truth is, not everyone understands programming languages and how they work, beyond the bare minimum to survive in a job. I've seen countless of cases with employees that are still middle after 8-9 years, because they don't have the skills and problem solving thinking mentality. In every IT company you go it's the same, there is a small group of people who are actually great at programming and the rest are just meh....
Is this a software engineer park

If someone put me on video and asked me my answer would be very different to off the record.

I'm a software engineering student, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Come back in ten years after you have thrown out everything you learned and relearned everything five times.
Well now a lot of them won't have to do the job they don't love because they don't have said job.
