Man, Albert! Thanks for taking us with you and sharing with us a day in the life of a SE! Love seeing Nala making a cameo!
of course haha! always nice to show what a day looks like and yes Nala is the sweetest :)
I loved this! Best one I seen so far! Thank you for sharing your day with us. Very inspiring!
thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Man, I think that is a cool sight from life of software engineer, but sometimes we have hard times and, once, we wake up with new idea to overcome obstacles and continue to live on for brightest future! 🎇✨
Its so cool to see how the Amazon office is so beautiful!! Continue with videos man!! I loved that experience of walk inside a amazon office!!
Very appreciate you posting this video. Working for the City of Bellevue, just down the street, it is good to know how life could be on just up the street from me. Appreciate your videos and thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us.
Love the vid; shows how much you get done in a day and not just work-wise but fitting in personal time too.
Thank you so much Albert. You've really inspired me when I was preparing myself to become a Software Engineer!. When I watched this video I said to myself: "Wow, I want this". I know this is a long learning way but now I can say that finally I've reached my main goal... and it'll continue. Thanks a lot bro!
I work in healthcare and I am chained to my desk from 08:00 to 17:30 and I get a 30 min break all day!! Your job seems like bliss!!
Most them are actually overworked as hell working for 12+ hrs 6 times a week
Your life sounds like it sucks
the more you get paid the less actual work you do
watch more videos on FAANG engineering, and you will see that all of these benefits are just for PR. the actual job is pressuring and competitive to the extreme. I would know, I have one.
As someone who works at a competitor in Redmond, it's always fascinating to see what other Seattle tech employees do in their day to day. Great video!
hahahah oh yeah!! :D
Microsoft guy spotted
It’s almost as if Amazon employees think they’re special and boogie 😂
I wonder who the competitor in Redmond could be!! Lol
Why say at a competitor instead of just saying where you work lmfao not special
They should show this to any new employee, not just for Amazon but any technology company, about what it means to have "work life balance". Great video!
Looks like You have never worked in amazon warehouse.
What about this strikes you as a good work-life balance? He barely gets to do anything but work...
@@Sn1per9CZE He got to do quite a bit during the day.... I don't advocate for this because these companies take away all independence. When you want to leave, it is really hard because these companies took control of every facet of your life from food to what gym you go to. It very nice to start just very draining when leaving to a different company. It's feels like you just cut off your arm when you leave, but you know you have to leave because you already burnout, and already lost a leg.
@@Forrest10 Lol, I've tried working as an Amazon Warehouse Associate turned out to be an overnight stocker to assist with preparation for customer's package when they go out for delivery. It sucks and I quit after the first three days of working there. The first night was mostly training which I went over the exact same thing over the online course training just to be repeated and never got any real work done until the second and third night. And it was brutal just to be able to keep up with performance expectation which I ain't got time for. Working for Amazon Associate is a completely different story then being a developer or software programmer for Amazon.
lol amazon and wlb do not go together.
Been some time since you uploaded this, but I'm amazed your workday is this chill, makes me wonder if all big IT-oriented companies treat their developers this well. You work 2 less hours than my bro who's also a software developer if we take into account the in-between gym and relaxing hour, and very likely have WAY more perks from Amazon. Of course, we live in Mexico, so yeah...
I won't comment from the sysadmin point of view though, I know our work is vastly different, even if it sounds like the same thing to society.
Happy for ya to see you doing good!
terrible
Just in love with the working atmosphere in your office, really impressed
Cool video! I'm a former Amazon engineer but didn't have quite that much freedom a decade ago! I'm a self-employed consultant now and take with me a lot of what I learned during my time there! Keep up the great work!
how many hours a week did you work when you were at amazon
@@username-hs3pcAround 50 regularly, 60 if there were issues or large projects
Any suggestions or any comments? I have exactly 10 days to start my career. I want to be a software engineer. I already have a bfa
How much was ur salary ?
After watching similar Life-as-Blog from Twitter and Google I gotta say I can imagine why these overpriced employees have been laid off in droves! He’s job could just as easily been a barista! What the hell is he coding!?! Does he use the Java Spring Boot framework? Is there a deadline?? What about late nights and weekends??? It can’t be “mission critical” stuff because I worked at the bank that processes all transactions and credit approvals… on 10/20 year old mainframe COBOL applications that the hundreds thousands of posting overnight and applications for credit in sub-seconds… else there would be FEDERAL COMPLIANCE ISSUES COSTING THE BANK MILLIONS OF DOLLAR$$$! And we sure don’t have time for gym work outs or late nights in clubs… we ran a 24x7 shop (with Offshore) and ran all weekend code installations! Amazon was 40% of our business! And anyone showing this kind of work environment… would be FIRED! 😅
hey man would be cool to see a video on your journey to becoming a software engineer at Amazon...like if you went to college and what prior experience you had, etc.
I'm really inspired by this video. The way you balance your work life and your personal life 🤝🏾. Thanks 🤗
Thanks, finally somebody puts a normal song into one of these videos. I can't here the lofi-dingle-dong anymore.
Loved the banana lady haha, and Nala. What an ideal work-life balance. Definitely goals.
Seeing this as someone who's basically coding from 7am til 4pm honestly just makes me wonder when the work actually gets done and how much gets done., en yet I'm envious of the amount of time you had in this day to just mess around and exist. I work from home and sometimes I honestly feel like the pressure to do shit all the time is constant.
because he doesn't show the reality behind it.. mostly all day in the life video show amazing, fun, happy side but not the bad side..
indeed, this is showing more likely 85% messing around 15% actual work........it doesn't "work" like that in most of the companies, Amazon included. Misleading video
@@GabrielPersello yeah, i know most of the people actual want to see "day in the life as a Software Engineer" and relate too not fake one.
i dont believe this kind of a day in life shit on youtube nowadays
Because you’re correct, the work doesn’t get done. ……. by him anyway. Some poor conscientious dude will be working 80 hour weeks picking up the slack. This douche will just be managing the relationship with his manager so he doesn’t get found out.
Im not going to lie here, your directing skills is amazing. This video has given me more inspiration. Thank you!.
Great video! Loved it from start to end (especially Nala)
Interesting to see how nicely your day is broken up by different activities. In Belgium for instance, most engineers work ~9/5 or some variant of it. Average working hours is 8/day, or more. However, days are more monotonous. Start at 8AM->12:30PM | lunch | 1PM->4/5PM | -> done. Since I start early, I can leave work usually at 4PM which gives me the feeling I have a lot of time left of my day to spend on personal things but often these don't happen as planned or intended. On the other hand, your day ends "late" (to my standards) where I'd feel I have no personal time left, however, you managed to incorporate that personal time (like the gym or walking the dog) during the day/working hours. So almost seems like a win-win, except for family time.
Exactly, this is ok if you are single, and to have longer working day, included personal activities. But, if you have a family, this is waste of time. Job is job, and private life ( family life ) has to be separate. In reality, 8h of working day, average is 6h of productive hours.
Here in Brazil is the same thing, 8h/day. I work from 8:30~12:00 | lunch | 13:30~18:00. It's not glamorous as the video, it's just work 8h a day.
@@albertobalmeida He likely embellished a lot in this video. Amazon is a top company with demanding schedules of its HQ employees. I find it very hard to believe their engineers are not working at least 8 hours a day if not more.
My work hours are 8am-6 pm with 2-hour break around 2-4 pm
India, same thing. 10-2 work, lunch break, 2:45 to 7 work. This for an avg software engineer.
Hey Albert, love the video. I am not in tech, nor am I in a field even close to it. I am not happy with my career. Low pay, very dangerous. Your video gives me some motivation to change my situation. We are both younger males with dogs, stay active, etc. It is pretty cool seeing your journey my man. Keep it up.
Hey man, I'm in a similar situation. I also work in a low paid, dangerous job - but a couple of months ago I decided to start taking steps towards a career in tech and am working towards a few qualifications to get into the tech industry. If I can do it, you can too. Good luck!
@@TheBeardedBuffoon That is awesome to hear. I hope it works out for you man!
@@TheBeardedBuffoon 👊🤙👍
Sendo um estudante de TI, o bom de assistir esse tipo de video é que acaba me motivando e me inspirando .
you are literally living my dream. This is so motivating me thank you for sharing this video. ^_^
Amazing video! I'm starting at Amazon in August so it was really nice to see what a realistic day in the life looks like :)
Congratulations!
Congrats
I doubt the everyone working for amazon has such a privilege
It's amazing they are productive at all with all the other activities they do
This video was super chill. Well done dude!
Got the first online technical assessment - can't wait to start in Seattle. Great video man!
How was the technical assessment?

hello!! so glad to see you here haha! I love your videos!
Bot
Being an Amazon employee is like getting into Harvard or MIT, you have to be super well rounded.
@@nickheyer Not really...you just need to be good at interview/answering leadership principle related questions
@@chrischeng158 but its still hard😭, faang companies are hard to get into compared to other tech companies
Amazon has a lot of negative reviews from the past. But they definitely have fixed a lot of things. I am 3 months in working at a FC and I love it. Everything they have to offer and treating their employees along with ensuring leadership and recognition are strong really makes the workplace feel amazing! Overall the company is amazing any they provide amazing stuff. Their thought process on making work as simple as possible is what makes the workplace 10x better. Long hours but a nice spread in breaks makes the day go by easier. Your video is a great example. 😀
Are you sowfter engineer??
thanks a lot! Its very nice being able to see how is the daily life in other cultures!
He could have done all of this from the comfort of his own home and kept the dog company.
with that life routine i wouldn't even complain about going to office tbh
This is truly inspirational. I'm an Electrical Engineer with programming knowledge for automation. I love programming and now will begin my journey for software engineering through online modules. I was looking for my calling in my life and it looks like this is it. Cheers mate.
I’m 20, working as an industrial electrician, my next move will be to try leveling up to programming.
Let’s get the journey begin 🤥
what sources are you using to become a software engineer?
@@tommasoerba7796 Wooooow.
@@tommasoerba7796 are you good at math??
Dang, 10-6ish with lots of little breaks doesn’t look bad! I’m ready to ditch the 8-5 heads down coding!
Cool video by the way. One of the first ones that actually gives a feel of what you’re day kinda looks like which was nice!
hey whatever makes you the most productive :)
I feel that, I am currently doing software development roughly 7-5
@ASRDGEEK wow your doing amazing! Can I ask how much you earn per year?
We get more in the goverment

That's the most amazing video i've ever seen.You inspires me a lot.Thanks for sharing.
What a great, peaceful, simple, soothing songs that matched the video..., no extra drama,,, superb video .. 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
people love to comment on how relaxed his day is, but they don't realize you have no chance at this life unless you are incredibly talented and can produce top level work
Awesome video, this was one of the best like this that I've seen. I'm currently at Amazon's new office in Boston and most of it seemed the same. The spheres were so cool though, didn't know you could go in whenever, kind of makes me wish I had picked Seattle. Also, I'm surprised you manage to get a workout in during work. Kind of inspires me to do the same since I've been struggling to find time. Where do you keep gym clothes?
thank you so much for watching! hah yeah maybe you can transfer over to Seattle. Yeah it's nice to get a workout in sometimes, I don't do it everyday during work tho, I have gym bag :)
The sphere is insane lmao, hope I get to have an environment like that someday, amazing vid!
Wherever you stay bro is very beautiful! Love the video and laid back lifestyle..love from Atlanta ❤️
Wow! The work-life balance is incredible to see here, seems like it would create a great dynamic between the employer and employee. I work in an Intensive Care Unit working with really severely ill patients and our hospital does not understand this concept of work-life balance. We are lucky to get a pizza party even once a year. Loved the video man, keep it up!
Brother, it depends on the team. Go on blind and you'll find Amazon managers shouting, throwing things at engineers- lots of minim Galvin Belsons.
Also, this is for a good video.
Amazon in the house posting comments 🤣
hahahah this is bullshit, 90% messing around, 10% work, the real life of a programmer is not like this, lol this is just for content, the reality of him is not like this hahahaha
You are helping the world in a much better way

Dope video dude! As an incoming intern this summer, I’m excited to see what Seattle has to offer 🙂
Oh gosh summer in Seattle is heaven 🙌🏻
It's amazing, thanks for sharing your experience.
How many years have you been as a developer?
And what keyboard do you use to work? 😃

Quick tip - those stand up door desks have a presets that let you save your sitting and standing heights so that they automatically move to the desired height at a single press rather than having to hold down the button forever.
It’s amazing how different and great culture at Amazon is outside of the warehouses.
I hope you’re giving your golden retriever long enough walks. I chose to live on the eastside instead of the city mainly for my dog. 😅
Sou brasileiro, comecei a pouco tempo, estudar programação, mais cada dia que passa mais me apaixono por isso.

Já se preparada para se mudar, porque aqui no Brasil é codar das 8 as 18 e ainda sim não dar conta do que tem para fazer
@@johnspeaks55 exatamente! sinto que no BR nós somos muito mais cobrados do que os gringos e por isso temos fama de bons trabalhadores lá fora.
@@viniciusl.7759 Exatamente isso. Pena que aqui não somos tratados como bons trabalhadores, monetariamente falando
Truly amazing video! I'm an aspiring software engineer here and I am inspired by how you can take things easy even in such a demanding career. And Jonna Jinton videos are S-tier when it comes to going back to the basics of how to live.
Yeah.... these videos are NEVER realistic. They are setup and scripted for the video and glamorize it. I don't think there's a single realistic "day in the life if a SE" video.

Using a video like this to get an idea of their life is the same as using the videos of youtubers and their " morning routines". His actual life is barely waking up, stressing out at his workstation all day and going home depressed and needing to edit videos.
got curious about your job and stayed because of Nala. so cute!!
Never seen something more relatable. Alarm goes off in the kitchen and then walks back to bed with the phone on snooze.
What are your advices for someone who wants to learn about software engineering here in Seattle ? Do you need to go to college or taking some specific courses? Any info is apreciate it. Thank you, good content!

Soo depressing. I love how I'm fully remote with no geographic restrictions. Travel while work is the best lifestyle.
Woaw..
That workstyle would never have worked here in denmark.
But it was fascinating to see.
I love your dog btw xD
How soothing the work is and all things ,here in India we start work at 9 am till 6 pm with one lunch break of 30 mins
The song, the environment, the vibe just gave me chills. Your content and editing is on point. Keep up the good work!!
thank you so much! I will keep up the work!
WOW! Just wow!
One of the best videos I have ever seen about a day in the life.
And office campus, food is great too.
Thank you so much!! Yes office campus is nice 😌
wow! it's like a dream working in such this amazing company, I loved this video so much
Great video, hope to see much more!
Currently working under the Customer Service Department of Amazon, I was inspired by this vid, I am also taking my Undergraduate Degree on Computer Engineering, this vid makes me wanna switch to becoming an Amazon Software Engineer too after I finish my degree!
Am currently interning at Amazon(India campus) and will join with them full time by July. This campus feels soo amazing, and the food looks delicious. Thanks a lot for sharing this. Eagerly waiting for our offices to reopen (although I know it wont be as beautiful🥴)
Of course! Thank you for watching!! I'm curious when it'll be open in india office?
@@alberthbyang HRs said we wont be having offline internships. And since our internships end on June 24th, I am guessing they'll reopen by July. No official date from them though
@@SatyamKumar-ts2jh can you tell me how did you get internship in amazon and what stack do you use on work
your LPA?
My Dad helped put together the steel beams for the sphere a few years back. He was an ironworker here in Portland.
wow tiene un gran balance entre el trabajo y la vida cotidiana, sorprendente motivacion para un programador jr como yo.
This might be the most "realistic" day in life of a SWE video! Loves your video and hope some day in the future I can live as a similar workflow as yours!
HUGE PRESS ON THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!!
awww thank you so much ! Glad you liked it! and good luck with you too!

Looks like a productive day! What was that " Express yourself" station? What do you do there?
it was!! haha it's an 'artistic' desk where there's a record player I just sat there to listen to some music and check messages :)
indeed! amazing keyboard. congrats!
Thx for the video so thumbs up
Woooow! I enjoyed your day life Albert. And I love your work, I am an IT.
I'm an incoming Seattle intern this summer, thank you for getting me excited! I wanted to know if the cafeterias are free, and if there are standard menus or if the food changes daily. Also, have you been in the Ruby building/know what its like in there?
Hey congrats on your internship! yes it's very exciting! The careterias are not free unfortunately but there're a ton of good selections of food, I believe the menus are different depends on which building you're in :) and there are tons of restaurants around offices. I haven't been to Ruby yet :D
Thanks for sharing! I always thought Amazon engineers spent their day on Blind complaining about culture and compensation.
lmao I never look at Blind actually
Blind seems toxic as hell. I don’t go on there for my mental health... I thought I was compensated well until I went on blind lol
Great video. I watched it many times probably because of sweet Nala. :)
I really admire your ability to enjoy the software engineering life, even at Amazon. Thumps up!
Awesome video, Amazon Seattle office looks really cool, waiting for joining in office and meet the team at Amazon Hyderabad.
thank you! it is pretty cool! congrats and hope you like it :D
Hi @yash kumar gupta i am commerce class 12 student and thinking of doing bca in collge i have few question for you if you pls reply
1 can bca land me in top 500 fortune companies
2 can you pls tell me carrer path or extra course which should i do
3 can pls give me something so that i can contact you ( optional ) 😁
Lokking forward
Makes me wonder same is for those who are working offshore. Btw!This life what you have is a blessing brother. 👍
Hi Yang! I'm from Vietnam. Nice to meet you. I feel comfortable when I see this video. This life is so dreamy of many people. My job in Vietnam is quite boring. I spend 8 hours per day for work (8-17h in my office)
Man got his life all figured out. Love to see it👍🏽
haha not really, thank you!
Honestly no offense at all, but it looked a little lonely. I glad Nala got two walks in. God bless. Save some time for relationships.
@@yahwehagape I don’t think it’s necessarily lonely. Technically, you live your whole life alone - the only person that’s always with you is yourself. Of course he has his coworkers and I’m sure a few friends outside of work. This is, after all, only a little piece of his life he chooses to share with the internet.
I can't help but feel bad for that poor dog being left alone in an apartment for 8+ hours a day.
Dumb people can't realize that the dog belongs outside and not in the damn apartment..
Yeah, me too. This is pure horror
You can take your dogs into the Seattle hq with you! No idea if he does this though.
It's just a dog
@@NycAgent47 wouldn't expect any other comment from a dude with a cat as a profile picture. You'll never know true love
Incredible how all of you cant notice this videos is an exact video of joma's video of A Day In The Life Of A Facebook Engineer! Even the music choice is the exact same like...... Great creativity
you're making somebody proud there Albert.
Seattle looks like an amazing place to settle down, I've never been but I've been to a few different places in the US and loved it. Great video Albert, thanks for sharing your life as an engineer
Where are you from??
@@Bilkes-sm9jg The UK :)
I live 45 min from Seattle, I don't even visit anymore because of how sketchy it is. I would never move there. Not a bad place to commute for work though, as you can see the high income areas are fancy if you don't stray far from your path.
Mano que vídeo louco, sensação de viver assim em país de 1mundo e incrível
EUA? Primeiro mundo? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Really this video I like me, just the seeing it gives me peace of mind and motivation to continue with my work routine just as you do.
Greetings from México..!!
Love ur home dude. Studying for the cyber security field atm
Hello Albert, I found this video to be so inspiring and just made me so excited to be pursuing the career of an SDE! I am in the beginning phases for the Amazon Technical Academy and I do have little to no experience with Software Development, is there any kind of recommendations that you would give for someone like me? I know the ATA program is highly selective for admissions so for backup I wanted to enroll in MeritAmerica Java Development school as well, any advice you could give would be awesome! I hope one day to be doing what you are doing!
Hey there! I'm glad you found it helpful or inspiring! I'd recommend taking some online classes on data structures and algorithms it helps with understanding CS fundamentals and interviews. And if you're looking to become a web developer or some specific niche then I'd focus on developing those skills, learn reactJS and typescript/javascript etc. But yeah keep doing what you're doing, seems like you're looking to get all the trainings you need and good luck with interviews!
@@alberthbyang Thank you! I really appreciate the reply! If you don't mind me asking, are you doing web development?
@@TacoLegs ofc! yes I'm full stack.
@@alberthbyang One of the things I am finding pretty frustrating is what to focus on for studying, alot from what I have read is that the SDE role in Amazon focuses around the fundamentals of Java, but when you say full stack is that something that is completely different then the role I would be in? I guess I am just trying to get a better understanding, lol
@@TacoLegs haha I don't know where you heard that but that's not really true. Java is just one of the popular languages used at Amazon but we also use Typescript, python, Ruby, Scala etc. Languages aren't the most important thing but CS fundamentals are. Full stack I mean I work on front end to back end implementations of web applications. Hope that helps!
Hey, very nice production value. Do you ever get bored of this kind of a lifestyle? It seems very monotone from the given perspective. I'm asking since I'm studying cs myself and the closer I get to graduating, the harder it is for me to know if I made the right choice. Mainly because I can see the work taking a tall on most of the people in the industry, and mental health is not really my forte at the very moment, considering that I'm not even working yet, I don't know how I could balance things out when I get a job. Add to that the whole pandemic situaton shifting the workspace even further into the online realm, which makes it even more unbearable, I assume. If it's not too personal, how do you cope with it?
Hey there, great question! Please don't assume that my everyday is exactly like this video, I would say everyday for me is a bit different, this was just one of the days. Obviously with covid, we're still not back to normal working in the office yet so that would change at some point so should be more people interactions in person as well. For me software engineering is just part of my life, I would suggest find another hobby that you're really passionate about, for me that's photography and cinematography and travel, so I always find doing these things outside of work help me a lot. good luck with graduation and job hunting :)
Very inspiring and just love the music playing.
Tks for this video it gives me some positive energy 😁
I'm applying. Got rejected many times but I hope I can make it in this time.
best of luck!!
Great video
I am a computer science student looking forward to be a software engineer any advice ?
I'd say definitely get really good with data structures and algorithms, practice on leetcode for interview questions.
It‘s really interesting how people from different countries work. I‘m from Germany and I‘m an IT infrastructure consultant, obviously a similar type of job.
But I would never ever think about starting to work after 8am 😄🤷🏻♂️ and I usually don’t stop working in between.
I usually start at 7:30-8:00am and end my day at around 4:30pm.
Thanks for sharing a different perspective maybe I‘ll try that work and personal stuff type of day 😊👍🏻
Broooo your life really cool and you are organising it really well
damn man, I want to work and live in Seattle so bad. I switched my major to CS because of that dream. I'm going to make it one day. Seeing your content is sick!
hell yeahh let's gooo bro! yeah I love Seattle! and thank you, you'll make it one day like you said :)
@@alberthbyang hell yeah bru, everytime I visit Seattle I fall in love with it even more haha. Nesxt time I'm out there we should hangout and take some photos, I'm a portrait photographer myself. Love your photos too bru.
That banana seemed restless. Screaming "EAT ME"
😂😂😂 true
That banana was just for scale.
Y aquí en México estoy parado 12 horas diarias en el mismo lugar (7:00 am a 7:00 pm), solo descanso 15 minutos para desayunar y 30 minutos para comer (yo diría absorver la comida), hay que apuntarse en una hoja para poder ir al baño para que el supervisor tenga control de cuantas veces voy al baño y el tiempo que demoro (ir 3 o más veces al baño está mal visto), están todo el día y todos los días contando las horas de producción (te va mal si las horas no son suficientes y si produces más, también está mal) y todo por 14 dólares al día (en zona fronteriza, en el centro $8.50 aprox) Pero hay que ganarse la vida xD
This is wild to see and the duality of Amazon employee roles. This seems so chill and relaxed yet productive at the same time, but the warehouse employees and drivers are overworked and underpaid. As a former Amazon employee who worked in a packaging warehouse it was grueling and unbearable. You have insane and unreasonable expectations and time quotas to meet which seems normal for a role like that but once you SEE these quotas and expectations you will understand.
Do more software engineering related videos ❤️
will do, but would you also be interested in travel related?
@@alberthbyang ofcourseee and anybody tell you you look like that guy from outlander the bad Brit guy.
This is not life. This is living in the building being glued to the chair. But oh well.. its his life
Learning spanish? Nice!!!
When I was a child I wanted to be a systems engineer or a programmer, because my dad is, but in my country until recently it began to be very important. how cool your video
Great video! Just have a couple questions regarding your gear, what brand and model is your backpack, work monitors and monitor arms?
working those long hours, i hope your dog gets plenty of time and support from its owner.
great video
I am surprised at how much of a work life balance you guys at Amazon seem to have despite the bad reputation and what you hear about the job all the time.. We in Germany do not have at all such a balance, like with home office it is basically 8-9 hours (without counting break) full on hard work. I can almost never do so many breaks because of the heavy workload..
Yeah I think every tech company could have heavy work load doesn't matter where and it varies from team to team as well🤓
It depends on the team you’re in. Some have it bad.
As a electrical engineering student in Taiwan, I have heard that many students graduated from our department are now work in TSMC, Mediatek…etc. Although working in those places could be well paid but the work load may be very heavy and it is impossible to keep work and life balanced. (Working for almost 12 hours a day）Thus, I am now working hard with my proficiency（IC design) and English skill, hoping to work in America or Europe instead of Asia for a work-life balanced job.
Yeah I suppose I had bad luck with the team being all the time extremely under pressure. So work life balance also is not great for me despite working in Germany..
@@ytl3388 yeah Asia seems to be even worse I see it in my company as well. But America seems a bit different perhaps from Europe in terms of work life balance or these TH-camrs just show it that positively for the FAANG companies I don’t know but for me work and life is nothing like they show on TH-cam.
Beautifully shown!
