- In today's video, I share a few productivity tricks that help me stay productive at work. I also get a bit more technical on what I'm actually working on. Watch this if you've ever wondered what a day in the life of a Google software engineer looks like 😄
A little bit about me: I studied computer science in college (BS and MS). Google is my first full time job; and I've been working at Google for 4 years as a software engineer. I work on building the system ui of the Google Pixel 📱 and Android 🤖.. I currently live in the Bay Area, CA 🌉 where I work from the comfort of my home.
Let me know in the comments below if you enjoyed this day in the life of a software engineer at Google!

yo bro i am a software engineer student so i want to buy a laptop for programming stuff and for gaming aswell like warzone and gta 5. i cannot choose a laptop from macbook and rog zephyrus g14. can you please recommend one for me please. helps a lot
Hey, it depends on what you want to program! f you want to do any iOS/Mac development then you will need a macbook, otherwise if you're just learning then any laptop will do. I don't have any specific recommendations
@@yourfriendintech thanks. So i am still learning i will get something very usefull for everything. Thankyou
Is Need To Have Strong Knowledge In DSA And Maths ? In Interviews? Please Let Me Know
Yes, data structures and algorithms are very important! General math is also important; more advanced math may be required depending on what field of programming you want to get into (eg. graphics)
@@yourfriendintech Thank You But In Google Interview Also Require Advanced Math?
@@ItsYourBoyMRAR I don't think it's required - i there is math involved in the interview question and you are not familiar with it, you can ask your interviewer to explain it or you may get a new question.
The sticky note made me sub
Hahaha, awesome!! Thanks for subbing 😄
I am new viewer in this channel jon
Welcome to the channel!
Hay, I have question why do you prefere apple systems mcos or not windows or linux or something else? some opinion?
My own laptop is a macbook and so for work I also decided to go with a Mac for convenience and simplicity. I don't have to worry about switching keyboards or remembering different key bindings
That's right, I've heard a lot about it myself, I've always been using windows, but someday I have a plan to enter the world of Apple and try it, and besides, thanks for the answer!
Yeah definitely worth trying! But if Windows works for you then there's no need to switch, unless you plan on building Mac/iOS apps in the future
@@yourfriendintech I don't really know what I'm going to do yet, I'm even thinking about the full stack option, but at the moment I'm learning and I'll see what will be for sure I'm a fan of the Apple ecosystem, but I think that when I try, I'll find out and tell you what your first project was, if you can, and good luck for you
What's the tape on your floor for? :P very curious...
They're markers for when I set up my TH-cam videos! It makes it easy to remember where my desk goes, where my camera tripod goes, etc. I got a bit carried away and tried a bunch of different setups which is why there are so many 😅
@@yourfriendintech oh man that’s genius 😅 I legit thought they were Chinese letters LOL. Alright I’m definitely going to try that 😅 good advice
SUBSCRIBED.......eagar to ask how much u make at google :)
Thanks for subscribing! I'm planning on making a video talking about Google/tech salaries 🤑
Bay area is expensive.... Can you work at Google and not live in Bay Area?
Yes, definitely! Google has offices all over the world and even has some fully remote positions

Hi bro it is mandatory where we studied graduation to do job in Google pls reply bro
Hi, no it is not mandatory. You do not need a degree, but you need the skills & experience to pass the technical interviews
Nice one ... new sub from Ruwais, Abu Dhabi UAE (working here but i’m from the Philippines) ...
Thanks Emil! How do you like living in Abu Dhabi UAE?
@@yourfriendintech UAE is a beautiful country and the people are so diverse; predominantly Indians and Filipinos, aside from the local Emirati. And I’m so lucky that I was here at the time of pandemic as they really took care of us - vaccination and testing…
I will be with you at Google in four years from this time😊🌷
Looking forward to it 😄
Hi John, Is job in Google is permanent??
Yes, I'm a full time employee!
Neat!

You're the best!
What is your iPad Model?
I have the iPad Pro 3rd gen
Love to watch your videos 😍
Glad to hear it! 😄 Thank you so much for watching
Great video. How comes your keyboard has coloured keys? I followed the link in the video description but that's a plain apple keyboard, not cool coloured keys. Would love to know more :)
Thank you! They are actually Gmail shortcut stickers that I put on my Apple keyboard
Yoga has no effect 👍
What do you mean?
Are you working from home again?
Hey Robin! I'm currently doing a hybrid approach - I'm going to try and post a mix of vlogs of days I'm working from home and days I'm working from the office
@@yourfriendintech oh that's nice. Do you know if G-Bus has good coverage routes?
