So many things I love about this video man. Beautifully shot, well edited, but MOST importantly a good and realistic story.
This doesn't glorify the small perks of working in tech but instead gives real insight into the work Ashwin does and into Ashwin himself.
Thank you Adam for watching and for the feedback, it really helped!
This video feels like it was produced by those big YT channels like "60 minutes" that produce documentaries. The quality, of the delivery of messages is top-notch.
Thank you Thato, I was trying to make the video feel like a documentary and Im glad the message resonated with you!
@@rahilatre8203 you nailed it
It's great. Also the speaker can work on his voice a bit. On intonation and also delivery style.
@@chitralima2208 Thank you

When's the next video coming up?
This man is so real. People spend a lot of time chasing fairytale ideas about finding their "dream job" and the "perfect career" Your career is only ONE part of your life - passion from your job isn't a necessity but money is. Some people are fortunate enough to be fulfilled by their career but other people will be fulfilled in other areas, and that's okay. Spend time thinking about the lifestyle you want.
Thanks Reese for checking the video out, and for leaving this insightful comment!
The amount of work behind this video is fascinating. Camera work, lighting and colouring is just brilliant. Ashwin, I'm so happy to see you in this place. This video is so realistic because Ashwin has given a pure and unbiased perspective. It is very real and warming. Kudos to the entire team. Bring about more such videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou Sujit for the kind comment, Ashwin and I both appreciate it greatly!
Great video and thanks for sharing your story, it's great to see such a genuine reflection. Hope you're loving your time here in Seattle.
Thank you Nathan for the kind comment!
Proud of you Ashwin. Rahil good work. It has been shot and edited well. Very true.. each one has to come out of their comfort zone, push hard to achieve.
Thank you Uma! Both Ashwin and I appreciate it greatly!
Very impressive Ash! Every word is from your heart and so it is easy to relate ! It is a well shot and well edited video ! I’m able to connect it to the conversation we had when you visited ! Wishing you the very best in all your future endeavours! God bless ❤
Thank you for the kind comment!

Such a natural! The content is so real and relatable, so proud of you Ashwin! Great videography and editing Rahil, way to go!
Thankyou Subhiksha really glad you enjoyed this video!
The production quality on this video is insane-such a refreshing take on the typical “day in the life” videos
Thank you Sam, I really appreciate it
Thanks for the video Rahil and Ashwin.
Good flow and no overdoing in the take (video, audio, place, surroundings etc). Neat editing as well. Good luck Ashwin to find your passion, and establish a second career from your hobby. Cheers to all team members
Thank you for watching and for leaving this comment, we appreciate it greatly!
Great work on this video! Really gives a realistic idea of what life is like for Ashwin. Inspiring to me as a Web Developer 👍
Thank you Paul for watching and glad you enjoyed the video, best of luck on your software engineering path!
Very cool content, it is refreshing to hear people talk about career, goals, and life outside work in a realistic way. Subscribing.
What a great unfiltered, unadulterated, and refreshing content. Rahil, great job as always. The way you put together everything - showing a little glimpse of India, and to the lightning of the lamp to start a prayer to the office environment here in the USA - to stay with the content of the narrative goes to show your hard work and uncanny, top- notch film-making mind. Also, Ashwin was so honest and authentic - very refreshing to see and hear a person with this much candor and frankness in today's world. I wish him all the best.
Thank you for this incredibly thoughtful comment! I really appreciate that you enjoyed all those small little touches that you mentioned about the video and hope to continue to learn how to tell better stories with each project. Also wanted to thank you again for supporting my work, I remember your kind comments on some of the first videos I made!
You're most welcome! 😃 🙏
now THIS is something i would expect from a day in the life of a software engineer, this is valuable information that the other big tech company procrastinators do not provide at all. Thanks a lot for your video.
Thank you Im glad it was useful!
the first video ever , about the real life of a software engineer, well portrayed , thanks man, for sharing and all the best, in your future endeavors. God bless !!
Thank you Ronald! Really glad you liked the video and same to you as well!
This is great Rahil. I appreciate your honesty and too many people lie and make up stories about how they ended up in tech and it was a miracle, etc. This is what we do to provide for our families and in the process we learn to love it and become attached to our work and the success of our company. Praying for you Rahil.
Thank you for the kind comment and for watching the video I appreciate it greatly
Hey Rahil, I just checked out your videos and just got to say they are unreal. Love seeing another tech/filmmaking TH-camr :) keep it going!
Thanks man, really appreciate you checking my channel out and the feeling is mutual. Best of luck with your channel man your cinematography is great!
Brilliant video. Great work on the camera and rhe editing and the final output. Congratulations Rahil.
On the content bit, Ashwin, fantastic job. Your mathaji sure is proud if you, and I am sure your dad too is proud of you. You are blessed with lovely parents. Your hard work and dedication and your humility and frank nature are your strengths. May God bless you abundantly, and our sincere blessings for you to reach great heights. Take care Ashwin, have fun.
Thank you Nitin for the kind comment, we both appreciate it greatly
Most people think about passion when choosing work but sometimes you need to do what is necessary. Surving for yourself or providing for your family could be huge motivators for working long hours and doing jobs you don't like all for the sake of financial security. Plus the safety net is always there because after a couple years of experience, you become highly sought out after even if you lose were to lose your job.
Great video!! I appreciate you share your personal path and also some of your fears I think your comments are very honest!! All the best for you bro!!
Thank you Angel, im not the subject but Ashwin did a great job and glad you enjoyed it!
Way to go .Really felt deeply moved..So beautiful and Awesome. Hats off to the editing as well.
Thank you Muthuswamy, glad you enjoyed it!
Much better and realistic than others who put up such videos, great job
What a great content! Thanks for sharing and putting this together. Cheers from BR!
Thank you Antonio!
I didn't expect to see THIS kind of a "Life of an Engineer" video. Well done!
Thank you Shreyas!
Wow, great video !
I’m astonished of the production quality, keep up the great work !
Hey Philipp, thank you for the kind comment and for watching the video!
This is a really great video man, the video, the lighting, the background music, the interview content.. everything is grea.
Thank you Boris for watching and I appreciate it!
Ashwin, you have spoken what is on your mind very naturally. Your speech is beautiful. The video and its editing is wonderful💐
Thank you for the kind comment we both appreciate it!
Excellent video. Ashwin was completely open and focused exactly on what a viewer is expecting vs those fancy "Day in a Life of" videos which talk nothing about work except a breakfast protein shake at home - then the second breakfast at work followed by the N food choices during lunch / supper at the cafe - gym workout for an hour - 4th snack of the day and then head back home.
Thank you glad to hear you found the video helpful!
God I hate those videos. They make people think all software engineers are running personal tasks and doing 1 hour of actual work a day.
Love the cinematography! Excited to see day in the life videos man!
Thank you Nico, glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for this video! It was the most realistic story I've ever watched.
Thank you Murilo!
Love this! Very well shot and edited. Also, proud of you Ashwin! :)
Thank you Janaki, we both appreciate it!
5:40 I'm also a Software Engineer and also got my Masters's in the USA as an International Student. What he says is true: the fees are 3x for foreigners, which makes affording a degree very expensive. I wish Ashwin the best! I can identify with everything you shared, you are not alone!
Thank you Telma
@@rahilatre8203 great job with this video, Rahil! I subscribed to your channel. Please keep making these.
@@TelmaFrege Thank you Telma will try my best and have a great day!

Thank you man, will try my best!
The video is just edited perfectly by Rahil, People like Ashwin become a motivation to us😊

Thank you Suzain for the kind comment both me and Ashwin really appreciate it, best of luck to you as well!
Really enjoyed watching this vid man! Great format, great production quality and truly appreciated getting the point of view from another Amazonian! 😄
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the video of best of luck on your channel man!
i dont like parents who say "NO YOU BECOME EITHER THIS OR THAT"
My parents always said "Find something you're passionate about, that makes fun and makes you want to get up in the morning" I followed that. Started going to the army at the age of 17, dropped out in early 2022, traveled the world and now i work as a third level supporter and sysadmin at a company, and besides that i work on my own project which keeps my brain going thanks to all the various code projects.
Im happy in life, and thats what counts the most for me!
Wow this describes a lot of engineering students/engineers who want career advancement in the US. Great video that illustrates the journey into software engineering at Amazon
Thank you Phillip for checking it out really appreciate it
Great video! I hope there's more to come in 2023.
Thank you Julian
Felt like a documentary. Nice take on the life of a SWE type videos.
Thank you Roshan! I was trying to go for more of that kinda style/look.
Awesome video with great content. Good job guys!!
Thank you Sachin!
Generally when I see "Life of a Software Engineer" type names, only filled with office cafeteria view, some break time view, some odc view all that. The word you put "REAL" caught my eyes and really I am not disappoint. The lines you said I think 80% SWE from India can relate. You literally showed the REAL us and Finally the video quality is really good shots are perfect. Hope to see some more content from you in future.
Thanks Subhrajyoti, im glad you found the video insightful and I appreciate your kind comment
Amazing video!!! 👏🏽 You really inspired me to keep moving forward, thank you! ❤
Thank you Dani!
Well done on this latest video - I can tell you put some careful thought into the project!
Thank you very much!
Appreciate you saying the truth. Plenty of engineers from middle class families find a software job cause it pays you more. They may or may like it completely but are here for the money. I would recommend this video to all those who lie to themselves about them liking what they do.
I immediately subscribed you after watching this video. Thanks for the great video Rahil!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Honest and unfiltered. love it.
Thank you Dhanwanth!
this is the one of realistic interview i have ever seen . And relatable
Thank you Mesoma!
This video can help some one to move in right direction. I want to thank the entire team for making this Video.
Thank you Palanisamy!

Great video man, enjoyed it! Truly encapsulates the kinds of pressure on the everyday software engineer and what drives them. Can't wait to see more from you. Would be nice to see more videos regarding software engineering paths one could take.
