- Back for another episode of my day in the life as a Meta software engineer vlog series. It was an eventful week. I visited the new Atlassian office in Bellevue, WA with my friend during the grand opening and went on my first hike of 2024. I finally filled the empty void in my office with a new piece of anime art I purchased from Etsy. Also featured is my chest day fitness routine, my mentorship work at Meta and reviews of some of the tech gadgets I received recently.

No forgs? That’s sad. But all in all, this was a really nice vlog. Well done.
Calvin, you have recently been my favourite TH-camr and a great inspiration to me. I love following your journey as a software engineer!
Hey again Mr. Handsome, it's great to see you with a new vlog again! 😍🤩🧡🧡🧡
nice to see you upload again! feel like it's been a while
I really enjoy watching your videos, and the vibe you transmit is awesome.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words 🙏
Just found your channel and I must say I love the format of your videos! very calm vibe :)
Thank you so much!
Outstanding scenery man, shots are amazing! Absolutely gorgeous content 👏
Thank you so much!
Yessss🥳🥳🥳, ep11🎉
Love your content brother
Great video!!😊
Great video ❤
Hey Calvin! Nice to see you still positive and motivated at Meta. Hope things work well! I don't think I said bye, but thank you so much for not being a snob. You're super cool!
Hey Chris, I didn't know you left! Hope things are going well for you and thank you so much!
Thanks Calvin! It was bitter sweet ❤
Your best vlog yet! 🙌🏻
I’m loving the videos! Just found you on my FYP and I’m glad your videos popped up! HunterxHunter was also such a masterpiece!
Thank you so much!
I'm out here in NYC, but Seattle nature looks like the dream.
I love NYC!
Cool video
The Atlassian office looks pretty nice. I just got an SDE2 offer at Amazon in Seattle so I’m gonna go there for a time, but looking at other places in the area is definitely interesting. Maybe if meta is hiring in two years or so I’ll try to hop there. Just gotta keep the leetcode skills sharp lol
The grind never stops 😌 congrats on your offer!
Meruem and komugi are still playing shoji in the afterlife🙂
Hunter x Hunter 🎉. Love that you used slow dancing instrumental.
How tall are you without any shoes ?
Just a quick question... How long have you been training for..
I think weight lifting has been a norm for me since college.
You do not know the kind of smile it carved on my face, getting a notification "Calvin Li posted....".
How are you my crush?
1- The shots are a lot better. Its more "you".
2- In some posts before, you love to post shirtless, please dont kill me that way
3- When you walk in with sisigad, that "pissed school boy" look is hillarious.
4- I experience assisting onboarding, more nerve-wrecking than doing core work
5- Love the outfit, I guess all can agree that there is a huge benefit keeping your tummy and waist in check
6- Heart dropped at 7:15. WHO IS SHE?? FRIEND AS IN FRIEND FRIEND? OR...???
7- Here are some content ideas:
- if you are doing deep work, record the whole process, 1hr should be alright
- if its just eating or your "cafe" day, tell us the place, menu, and do you like it, but only about food. Like your snacks video.
- your biography? Unless its not a personal life channel.
This kind of post suits your style really well. Your aesthetic is more like "as life goes by, here is the next cafe..."
I'm so glad you liked the video and thank you for your wonderful feedback as always!
Could you let me know the name of the mountain/trail you hiked? So beautiful trail
It's Heather Lake!

Hunter!
Hi,its been some 3 weeks ,i started watching ur videos.Really interesting😊.I do have a request like can you do a video on how can i get into a company like meta and what all techs to prep like data structures and so on,also like how to apply for the company .Currently i am having 5 years experience into data engineer with some mnc company.Hoping to get reply from you 🙂
Hi! I think there's a lot of material out there already that addresses the topics you're looking for and I'm not sure if I can really add more value there. I'm focusing more on lifestyle content for the time being.
Great vlog and I love hunter x hunter.
Damn I love your gym room. Is ist youre own or a re youre sharing this with someone? Greetings from Germany
I have a roommate but he rarely uses the gym room. I also don't use it that often because I mostly workout at work 😅
Hey Calvin you was walking in the Green Lakes area to your favorite restaurant am I right. How do you like live in Seattle by the way because I was thinking about moving there as well?
I like it here overall.
It really depends on what you're looking for (night life, weather, big city vibe). Definitely do some research and/or visit before making the big decision. If you like the outdoors you'll love it here though!
@@calvinxli Agreed with that all the way. Thank you so much for telling me about your experience so far in Seattle and I will definitely do a lot of research. I truly love to stay in a city or state that have nature with a good hikes by the lake or mountain.
Every time I watch your videos I tell myself that healthcare was the wrong choice when deciding on a career. 😭
😆 I think it's important to do something you enjoy
Haha same! I thought I’d be helping people but instead it’s really just hospitals making money off of us
Bro, I have 2 questions. First, what is your age If you wanna tell? 2nd Is cloud computing a good career to get a job at FAANG in the future. Many thanks 😃
I'm 31. Cloud computing is probably good right now but I'm not sure about the future. The industry moves fast.
@@calvinxli Thanks. But if you recommend some tech skills to get a job at FAANG in the future in your opinion.
Just curious, is there a reason why you sleep without a shirt? When did you start it?
I've slept without a shirt for as long as I can remember. It's just what's most comfortable for me. Sheets definitely make a difference though 😌
@@calvinxli Do you know if most guys sleep shirtless or clothed? My friends are gonna come to visit me. Would it be awkward if I sleep shirtless and they sleep in pyjamas?
@@samuel_ilyashenko2472 idk about most guys but I think it's probably fine if you're not sharing beds at least. You can ask your friends if they're cool with it just to be safe.
@@calvinxli Would you still sleep shirtless when you share a room with your friends? Would you add shorts or pants instead of just wearing underwear?
0:12....where is this in cali?
