This is really good...learnt a lot

Thank you!

Great content!

Stellar advice! Would love to hear your perspective on external transitions.

This is a nice video :) It can be really lonely to be the only gay person and the only woman on the team. But I don't want that feeling to cause me to be more withdrawn. I rarely hear other women in tech actually say it out loud. It's definitely nice to meet people outside your direct team because sometimes you just can't control how much other people want to engage with you. If you're at a big company you have lots of chances for meeting other people and maybe you can change teams if you feel the need.

❤ this. This is so far the best video about communications as a SWE. Thanks

Engineers are like lion in the circus (who makes a dhasu thing/idea). Steve wasniak And entrepreneur are the the master of the ring on whom all the eyes are on (who sells the thing/idea in a great way). Steve jobs

Google has over 140,000 employees but the don't have anyone that can help customers and answer their phone.

Thank you so much... Very inspirational ♥️

Welcome in u tube...... Good luck 😊

Thank you so much.. this is helpful ❤️❤️

I intend to lunch into tech-prenuership. I'm considering the part to start from. Can you further advice. I have some products I will like to work on in the long run.

Are you interested in moving to software engineering from data science or vise versa? share below your reasons!

Is it possible to visit in 2022 or for covid is close?

From non coding background know basic maths I would like to prefer Data science

Great video! Thanks for bringing up this topic. It’s really fascinating how people think differently about failures here. It’s kind of failure cult here. Even when you apply for a job one of the questions is what is your biggest failure and what did you learn from it?))

Assalamualaikum sis how can you get adds on you videos while you have only 200 plus subs 🧐🤔

Hi, can u please make a video on how you became a software engineer from data Science. I also studied data Science in MS and then started a job as a statistical assistant and soon I realized its not my thing because I can’t play with data, numbers , graphs….I am not good at it. I want to switch to Software engineering, I know Java. Can u tell which language should we choose and what skills do we need to enter in Software engineering?

That was a really good comparison. Thank you.

Thanks, those were some nice tips. It's really damn hard for an introverted junior like myself, but I just have to actively keep at it I guess.

I am an Accountant by profession is it possible for me to change my career in Software Engineering

Yulia, thank you so much for this videos, I'm looking for jobs right now and this was really eye opening 🙂

Good points, but how many companies don't care if they burn through software engineers... this only works if the company cares.

I am choosing SW Engineering

I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm an immigrant who moved to the states without knowing what I want to do. I just want to break into the tech industry but I feel I'm lost.

Hi, You made a great video! However, I think you are comparing two different things, life in academia and outside of it as a employee of a company. If you worked as a data scientist in a business, your work would be very different than a researcher, and the same applies to computer science. So it’s not that computer science is more sociable path than data science, it’s the area in which you work on.

Just found this tiny channel and subscribed because it is hands-down the most accurate description of what a software engineer job is, and moreover, grows into. I say this as a CS grad, 13 years a software engineer, 8 years and currently at a FAANG company. Your points about 'this is code the customer will use' is spot on in terms of the quality bar. Operational issues coming into the picture is absolutely a thing especially for engineers working inside or on cloud infrastructure and services. My only slight disagreement with anything you said here is that you probably downplayed work-life balance as a software engineer. It is certainly achievable, but I think it really depends on the person. Operational issues (think AWS just after Thanksgiving -> mid Dec last year) no doubt are non-optional engagements and no one can really argue that some number of people on relevant teams (even beyond the oncall) will be called on to help take care of business. This plus customer deadlines like you mentioned are in addition to the standard corporate-political pressures of "so and so VP/director wants this" or "so and so team set a high level highly visible goal for the year and in order to meet it they need _____ by _____". Those demands can steam roll work-life balance and it depends on if the engineer is good at setting boundaries. Many of us are not based on personal experiences, personality, and for many work VISA status is a huge one that makes no one have solid boundaries when they feel they may just be out of a job and suddenly out of the country (U.S. typically). One interesting thing to add is that when in an operational role at less mature companies or teams, software engineers can need to dip into data-sciency roles on-demand. Analyzing log messages and find patterns to relate to what could be the root cause of a problem, or what is the full impact. This is mitigated by well designed dashboards and graph/visualization being available and will suppress the need for an engineer to need to come up with and run clever queries/grep to answer questions on the fly. I hope this channel takes off because you're a rare voice in this space (YT) making sense.

I hate datascience and ML, but loves Software Engineering .

Perfect observation!

Did you ever feel lonely working in tech? How did you make friends at work? Please share your tips below!

That's quite helpful, I'm preparing to switch back to software engineer role from data scientist. And it makes me re-think about my position and career plan.

How do you avoid and handle burnout? Share below!

I will go for data scienctist👍very informative appreciate you

Do you like working remotely full time? Share your experience below!

Amazingly informative video. I'm having my onboarding next week and this video was really helpful.

What are some red flags you noticed in an interview? Share below!

What was your onboarding in your first job like?

Which career path would you choose and why?

Any ideas what questions to ask and what to look for in the interview to figure out if you are going to have access to great mentoring?

Congratulations!

Hello Yulia, What a wonderful video you have made. It certainly represents a lot of deep thinking you had before transitioning into software engineering. It clearly reflects all the thoughts most of the tech folks be it academic researchers or industry professionals go through every single day. It's refreshing to see someone going through the same journey as us. Thanks! and kudos to you!!

Does you company use a promotion rubric? What are the pillars of the rubric? Share in the comments below!

Loved the video - very useful information! I think there are many different ways companies can set up engineering ladders, but there are many common themes and you've highlighted them very well. Thanks again for making this video!

How many levels in the engineering ladder does your company have? Leave a comment below!

Great video! Really good practical points for career growth.

Great presentation! Improving communication is often underrated but well worth one's time to become a much better engineering leader.
