Dude owns a Tesla just to take the shuttle.
😂😂😂
ahahaha true. Software engineer problems xd
Well he can drive it to go home and see his parents travel outside of the city? You know there’s more to his life than work buddy
I thought I was the only one offended by that lmaoo 😂
I noticed that too but it's fine he deserves that
Besides all controversy around the company the video you made is nice to watch and gives a good idea to outsiders of your average day, great job!
How many conservative accounts did you shadow ban or fact check in a day? How many conservative comments/posts did you delete in a day?
100% of the meta workforce are hard-core liberals or asian foreigners on working visas, living in the most liberal counties in America, voting for clowns like Newsom, Kamala, and Pelosi. You guys are DONE this November; unless you fake another pandemic
I'm guessing Faang companies are promoting these types of videos by using these people. Notice how in every one of these videos, they focus mainly on the food, leisure, luxury?
Ok LoL
Sir I'm Mr nishan singh Civil foreman
@@nishansnishan7163 relax, Mukesh
Good to know people still use old school NCS as background music
I was thinking that
right?
Reminds me of the 2015 days, was going through tough times back then but this was still awesome to see
I am a teacher in rural India. I may not have such a magnanimous luxurious life, but I enjoy being with people, living together, and enjoying life together! Kudos to your life too!!!
What are you talking about?
do you also enjoy when a random passing cow stabs you in the gut?))))))
@@kingfatpig3512 He is talking about not living a rich life like the guy in the video. Insead, he is a poor teacher in India, but enjoys being with people, living together and enjoying life in a community. The FB guy lives life alone and his community is probably inexistent. At the end he wishes him the best. Really not that hard to grasp.
@@tinytownsoftware3837 No,I can read what he said,what i don't know is what does this has anything to do with in this video?
@@kingfatpig3512 It's a tangential comment, relax. What are you, the on-topic police?
Thank you for sharing this. In my opinion working there it's seems very organized and loneliness at the same time.
Introverts like me be like : 😍😍
I think it might just be the way he shot the video, but yeah it seemed like no one talked to him all day.
It’s gonna look lonely and sterile if you shoot bootcamp areas :). Team areas are usually more fun even these days
Tbh, looks more depressing than wfh😐 sitting alone at offc with no one to talk to.
There should be someone at the cafeteria atleast the entire day shouldn't be lonely.
I’ve been lucky enough to see this in person. I got family that works in the same office and they were able to give us a tour. I grew up in the northeast so the whole Silicon valley vibe was doing it for me. But it definitely looks like a nice comfy place to work
I want to join meta
What should I do?
Help me
I like ur name. It reminds me of someone daydreaming
@@shivanandsh8452 my suggestion is try apple. Meta is pretty toxic
@@shivanandsh8452 You have to go to college or university and have a grade average around 80%.
Please tell me where the office is in Berlin, the purpose of the Facebook company, at what address is it located? And how does the procedure itself go, how can you contact support after arriving at the office, because in our country it does not work through the website, you need to unblock the page.
Nice video Austin :). I left Facebook 8 months ago and this brought back lots of memories.
I think it would be nice to show more of MPK classic (deprecated), including the woodshop and obviously hacker square.
How has the journey of becoming a software engineer been for you
Where do you work now?
I want to join meta
Help me
@@shivanandsh8452 get a degree in engineering or comp sci with internships on the side. Make your own projects too and boom
How much did they pay you for your soul?
Wish my day was that easy as a senior product marketing manager. Spend 4-6 hours in meetings then another 2-4 hours building decks, replying emails and developing strategy documents, for way less money. Thank god I love what I do.
the fact you think his job is "easy" just goes to show you're in the right place. some people would say that sitting in a meeting without doing jack shit like you do most of the time is "easy". Software Engineer use their heads for their job, thinking requires alot of energy, your job doesnt, therefore you're getting paid less and have to "work" more time
@@casualBob7 the marketers that sit in meetings and do nothing are the ones that do not last nor grow. Like engineers, product marketers serve a purpose, which is to figure out the best way to explain why a customer needs to buy a product and how it's going to make their lives better, which in turn create demand to drive sales. When I say "easy," I'm referring to ease of schedule, not brainpower required.
Well.. I work like x2 of hours of this guy in a similar position in a company that is based in a 3rd world country. Can only pay for foods and bills.. The geography you live is destiny I guess.. I want to feel the feeling of like not to worry about buying new anything. Hope one day everyone will deserve what they get for their hardwork 🙏🏻✌️
Remember in life you make choices. You can make the choice to move to a different city/country and earn more money. You already speak english.
There's not enough money in the world for everyone to be paid the same.
@@biggestthreattoyourexistence yeap you are right. Well if we look from the other side not everything is money. My friends family the places that I love to go, everything is here. I am just mad at people who are in charge. Everything could be better but unfortunately everything got worse in terms of economy and society.. Anyways, I will make the sacrifice to go abroad and look after my loved ones. And I know I will have great friends and bonds with new people in wherever I will go. Looking forward to my next destination 🦾
@@biggestthreattoyourexistence Typical first worlder. Try talking to someone who has relocated to another country from a third world country. Even if they make good money they never feel at home, specially in the USA. Also, if you think just having work skills is enough to get a job in another country, you're dead wrong and if you think people can relocate to a developed nation without, you're dead wrong about 99% of the population in 3rd world countries. Most of us aren't rich enough. It's truly a privilege to be born in a developed nation
@@erensarnic4058 Easy, it's not only like that because of the people in charge. It is very similar in many third world countries, like those in SouthAmerica. We don't get much of a salary like this guy on the video nor get access to such a good cafeteria, environment, yoghurt, freedom, hours of work, etc. This is what our countries are like, so if you want to change that, either choose a country to work in (Usa, Canada etc) or make your own company. Otherwise it is gonna be difficult to change this third world job situation.
I totally get what you feel. Back in my home country, a fresh graduate software engineer earns $700/month average. But i made a lot of sacrifices to come to the US to have a better life and i’m glad i did.
First software engineer who didn't drink coffee
Everyone here seem happy about this working day.
To me It doesn't look like heaven. Getting up at 7:30, starting to work at 9:30, going home at 5:30 PM and getting home like 6:30 PM is terrible! No free time for your hobbies or family.
I have a similar job, but I get up at 5:30 AM, start working at 7:00 and going home at 3:30 PM (fridays 1:30 PM) and that is waaaay better.
Just spending whole day at work looks like hell to me and doesn't matter how much I love my job.
Barely did any work too lol…
I agree, I hate all these corporatists activities; just staying at office without doing any work or doing activities with colleagues... I prefer going home ASAP and spending quality time with my family.
Le 12 hours working people : are u joking 😁
You must be definitely working in heaven if you had the audacity to call a 9-5 job and this working environment terrible and hell. Wonder what will you call an investment banking job then??
I currently work at Amazon and we work only 4 days a week 10 hours a day. The pay is not amazing but I have to admit the schedule flexibility is nice.
I hope people at Meta do talk to their colleagues as well.
Not allowed to record work conversations or meetings, but yeah we usually talk to our teammates (sorry fellow metamates), lol.
@@leigao5727 explain to me how come people that work at Meta and IG don’t really handle disable account cases how come, they keep ignoring our appeals? You guys don’t even have a decent phone number to call so many people are locked out of the accounts or disabled and they can’t get any help because the pill forms don’t even work it’s all automated.
I didn't see your work pressure bro. You enjoyed your day. You are truly blessed with this kind of environment. And what kind of skills are needed in meta. I noticed you worked on the VS Code IDE.
There was no angry calls from clients or supervisors, no condition setting, how do you work without any of that?! 😆
There is many different types of jobs at Meta and companies like Meta. You have to contact them, look at their job postings.
Since you are watching this video you must want to be a developer. Go to college. Then apply. Easy.
@@biggestthreattoyourexistence Don’t even go to college. Teach yourself some common languages like html, css, Java, and Python, take an accredited boot camp, build a STELLAR portfolio, and then apply. College is a scam. Source: me with my degrees.
@@korean_bagel Thanks All of you guys.
@@korean_bagel if only every single job listing worth considering didn't require a bachelor's or master's degree here.
I wonder how many times "Meta" had to review this video before allowing it out. I'm a recruiter and headhunting Meta people is pretty easy, now I see why. Sterile, soulless environment and lame office. However; I think you are awesome Austin and please keep your options open. There are so many better companies to work for quality of life wise. I didn't know how much until I saw this. There is more to life than making your folks happy by working for a company they have heard of.
Fr
Looks like a pretty sweet setup to me
@@DistrictHero13 It hurts my soul to hear you say that but I do respect your opinion. But you're saying you like a $120 Office Depot Chair, 2019 17" Intel Macbook Pro, grey room and prison style lunch tray with Costo level food on it. Then, like a kid, you get on the bus to get dropped off at the bigger parking lot in a less expensive part of town like an airport.
@@TheThaiLife this seems to be the trend for most software engineers/moderators etc, for extremely large online companies
@@TheThaiLife It looked pretty chill from what I saw, you can go for a bike ride, walk around and find different places to work. Do you think a company should give you a new laptop every 6 months? They provide lunch which is more than most companies. And who cares what color the walls are. If you're staring at the walls then you're not working hard enough
Coding 4hours without break, no chit chat with pple and bought tesla to take the shuttle. True coder.
Really cool to see this! I used to work at a large Financial Credit Union with an HQ Campus just like this, but to this day I'm still not sure how much I miss it though!
Ok
Please tell me where the office is in Berlin, the purpose of the Facebook company, at what address is it located?

As a software engineer graduate who quit that career path as soon as I finished school, I don’t know why but seeing this video is very calming.
Why did you quit if you don’t mind me asking? I am hoping to major in software engineering.
@@isaiahshears3407 I took a year after I finished school to pursue my passion - acting, performing, media. I had opportunities along the way and took them. I also just knew that sitting in front of the computer and working a 9-5 wasn't for me. But don't get me wrong, I loved programming, AI and being the project manager/leader in school and I'm a computer geek up until now!
why？
I would love to do one of these videos with BNSF and the Mechanical Facility here in Barstow. Fixing 4500 HP diesel trains, and understanding our....complex culture.
brother very good video brother one question who do you work for?
I was a contractor for a year and I really liked the office. The food was good and the free snacks were a plus. But I do rather much prefer wfh. It satiates my inner introvert.
Glad you enjoyed your office experience too at Meta, I’m no longer there but we were definitely treated very well!
Imagine you're a software engineer at Meta like Austin 😉
Lots of love from India dude ❤
India has cheap labor. Not engineers.
I want to work like that, work less, eat a lot, earn big, work effectively
Same. I'm thinking about changing my career now :(
@@Violet.star40 what’s your current line of work?
Man this whole different world. Hope you would continue making videos
You went to work just to eat. No outside communication. The man of very few expressions. Sure you worked hard to get where you’re at. Seems like a chill life. Good video 👍
As a previous employee of meta (tier 2) this is great! I find it interesting to see an software engineer. But yeah working with meta feels so, lonely coz every employee and as well as your teammates has different schedules. So, most of the time you're alone. Even from break and lunch time.
Generally for me teams got lunch together (if they could) when I was there, it just happened people were working from home that day, also I chose not to show other people for privacy reasons - so the video makes it looks a bit more lonely than it actually is. Overall I loved my time at Meta though, glad you liked the video!:)
Coding 1 : 00 AM to 5 : 00 PM he just shown us like he touched laptop and he took a break :) Nicely edited man
incredible! he worked 4 hours straight!
Wow, Meta's place is SO BIG. It's like a small downtown
the automatons of the future, empty offices, no social contact, only from the computer, how sad😢
LIVING THE DREAM. I would eat breakfast, lunch and Dinner at work. The $$$ you would save on groceries alone is insane.
when you have a family you usually want to share at least dinner with them 😅
If this was Brazil, you would start working at 8am straight to 8pm non stop, eating while team meeting, and you would still never be able to affoard a tesla
Why ?
I love this video, the music you use was the music I used to love when I was 12 years old, really like the way you record the video!!
Mask while walking on the street - super smart!😂
One of those offices where employees maybe hate weekends and look forward to mondays 😀
How to get a job in meta bro ??
So far, not seeing a whole lot of work getting done.
My man’s rode that bike at least 30 mins to get to the cafe 😂👏🏽
So fun to watch... please do more campus tour!
I don't know your work pressure but...
Whatever you showed in this video is relaxed daily lifestyle. May be you blessed to work in that kind of environment. I loved it.
He’s still in bootcamp (you can see the bootcamp sticker at the end of the video). All the bootcampers have a pretty relaxed lifestyle :).
But look at his face , kind of depressed all the time
@@leigao5727 once a person goes to production, the real depression starts😂😂
@@leigao5727 what's that?
@@OctopusCUT yea I notice that it’s kinda funny he looks miserable all the time
Awesome Austin !! Keep Growing and Grooving ✨✨. One small advice. In my opinion you should shoot videos on Software engineering and coding related stuff, it would shine out best on your channel alongwith your rest videos and certainly would help me or one of the other person to become a successful maang company engineer like the way u are Austin !✨😄😄.. Best wishes for your future endeavours 🙌
yeah i agree on that too :)
DSA and from beginning of process
Dudes going to cafeteria was longer than anything else🤣🤣
Looks all is good over there. Not much stress. I think it's cool to work in Meta
Exactly!!
Coolest Tech company to work for in my opinion. I mean they work on AI and Metaverse stuff.. like what can be cooler than that!
I feel like appointing myself a community morale officer and fly over to try and spread some cheer. It’s a bit like Metropolis.
Very sad day, always alone, work alone, eat alone, leave alone. He have a best car in the world but preffer take a shuttle to see some people around. He did’t smile even during the meeting because it’s very sad place to be. Dude money is not all in life. Be happy dont be alone good luck to you 👍🏻
@genesis he’s got a point actually. if this is an average day, then the dude gets little to no social interaction in any way
LoL
I'm thinking he filmed this on a day hardly anyone else was working intentionally but maybe covid cleaned the offices out so now they are just a depressing void.
@@wrldgaming4558 social interaction is overrated. If I was working at Meta, I wouldn't care less about meeting people.
If a Tesla is the best car in your World you have to live on another Planet...
Almost broke my neck getting to the comments! 😂
So they work about 3.5 hours a day and get free food, drinks and dessert. Where do I apply?
You're doing great job Austin & you have to be proud of what your doing.
Each minutes you spend = will pay back more knowledge and income ! :)
Assuming the object is to be materialistc, to get more $$$ to buy more stuff that you really can't use. He looks like he lives in a tiny apartment all by himself.
Yes, if you are just into money, knowledge and status this night be fine. But to be candid, from my point of view this should be not your main Motivation
@@cfranke3576 A propaganda movie to get stupid naive kids into joining the slave ranks of the mega corporations. I've been there and its alluring at first but then they take your life and you are just a highly paid slave to them... meaningless and expendable when it suits them.
Do you still have the job?
does your camera battery not run out leaving it on throughout the night just to capture you waking up?
Dude...
Zuck is a legend. The first man in human world history to spend 12 billon to change the name of a company!
No wonder Meta is lay offing so many people, the working there is much too relaxing...
Great video men , keep making more video on meta campus ,I'm eagerly waiting for you next video of meta campus tours 👍🏻
Bro is foods,snacks are free or cost ?
This vid really encourage me to keep studying to become A software engineer like you sir. Thankyou
Sameeeee
L
So, you recorded yourself doing 4.5 hours of actual work. It took longer to edit and render this video than an actual day of your work...
It took you the same amount of time to commute to work to then proceed to bike the campus and then take 4 breaks. Idk, if this video is satire or not but come on man, really...
another commenter said that it is common for bootcampers at meta to still have a relaxed day.
The distance from your office to the cafeteria is the like as the distance from my house to my school.
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement,meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.
I'm new to this crypto and forex trading and I've been making huge loses trading on my own but recently i see alot of people earning from it. can someone please give me a new strategy or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Is it possible to produce superior performance provided you do something different from the majority, However most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to cost proper diversification.
@willy Bernice p.5Interesting, and I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing in my bank account, i wanna get something started with it, you seem to be doing excellent for yourself, how do you achieve this?
@Jamie warner Exactly that's the trick, don't panic when everyone else is and invest across the board.
@willy Bernice p.5 Do you trade by yourself?
After seeing so many videos like these, I have came to know that there is no social life in big companies like Facebook and Google.
Bro, the routine there should be deadly boring there....or at least it looks like.
It depends if you are more introverted or extrovert. For the second ones this life isn’t the right
As an introvert I fucking love this. There is a reason why software developers are one of the best jobs for introverts, it is definetly not for everybody.
Just applied for my bachelor being; "Bachelor of Engineering in Software Technology" ! Can't wait for next year!
Well hope everthing goes well, good luck mate! Im only 15 but im also doing my best in school cause i also want to become a software engineer.
@@arionisgay4829 Keep your dreams high!
Thank you!
People actually using meeting rooms for calls, is that real?
Building 14 still looks the same in the inside. Great to see things are somewhat back on track during the post-pandemic months.
He could be virtual reality
First, let me premise this comment to say, in no way is this an attack on this good kid. Now a few observations. I, personally, find that lifestyle devoid of any feeling or life. Get up, shower, go to shuttle, work in a warehouse, then go home. The worst part were the massive lines of displays and cafeteria tables to work at. The only thing I experienced in this video that had any life to it, was the upbeat music. The only time I saw this kid smile, was at the end of the video. Maybe he was really relieved to be leaving the dungeons at Meta? I sincerely hope that this nice kid experiences a life outside of what we see here. I’m sure he makes a good living here, but one day, anything he’s doing, will be replaced by a robot/software, probably written by AI. To me, working at a place like that, is about as repulsive a thing that I can imagine. Just think of the music was changed to something less upbeat, I probably wouldn’t have got through the entire video.
Again, I mean this as no offense to the author of this video. I’m sure he’s a nice guy.
anything hes doing will never be replaced by AI, never, you have to not be a software engineer to say something like this, and yes the video seems depressing, but he has to make friends at work, other than that seems like very good conditions, cafeteria has a lot of restaurants and workspace is very clean
I think you are way too much exaggerating. The working environment and everything else seems nice .
I watched on mute and it felt bleak
Very well said.
How exciting is it to extract player stats from a giant database? What do you want him to do dance a tango? It's not fun. He is building something brick by brick and all of the pretty scenery doesn't distract from the monotony of data mining. He is earning good $ for it in a very competitive environment.
bro legit played the songs which i used to jam out to 10 years ago.
Looks like a vacation day
Thank God he has a mask on in that empty building... And outside
hello wish u a great day!
i'm about to choose my engineering course and i'm still unsure about information tech related courses. just afraid of it's lifestyle as they say working as a programmer makes it hard to socialize, ruin your body, and a lot of stress and working for a lot of extra hours.. is that really true?? and thanks
So he wake up at 7:30, walk out of home at 8:10, and start working at 9:30, almost two hours of waste on commute. This is why WFH is better. Saving time, energy, money, and protect the environment. Why aren't the big techs leading the way now? I thought they are big on protecting the environment.
Because they already paid hundreds of millions to build these big buildings and they need butt's in chairs
@@leonnoirsr whats interesting is some companies are still making plans to build more huge office buildings. They think they can fight the trend. Almost half of the workforce don't want to go back to office now especially with current car market and gas price. Nothing is enough to justify 4 hours waste of time on commute everyday.
Sure would be nice if you didn't have to drive to the shuttle and there was some kind of efficient method of transportation that could get you there.
Also, for a job at a social media company you do sure seem to spend a lot of time alone.
+1
People who do jobs that involve other people is why. Software engineer , not so much
The dubstep as bgm for the chill vlog really sent me
All day at work..is this a life?
I don't know anything else about you but I suspect
1.) You are good at your job.
2.) You care about doing good and being good at your job.
3.) You are also very well paid for your job.
4.) You absolutely earned the privilege of having your job.
And I appreciate the sentiment behind this video very much, appreciate you for what you do, and wish you well!
BUT....
From over here, that privilege look so bleak and tedious af lol
Most software jobs are soul sucking. Been there done that.
THANK YOU bro
@UnknownDev maybe that's someone's life goal
Going onto the an empty office to work remotely. Now that's meta.
Irrespective of company every Software Engineers life starts with code and coffee/tea and ends with the same😂
Yep!
Imagine being a wagie for Zuckerberg... is there something more depressing?
Yes being a wagie for Biden.
colleague, I am sorry to see this. I been in that working situation and I am glad it's in the past. It's horrible, fells like want to kill myself if that happens again to me. Wish you good luck escaping from there and find better place. Sorry but I wont tell you where I am because everyone will rush to come here and this will make pressure on the job marker. All the best, colleague
? He shows quite a "normal" working day at nearly any tech company. What are you talking about?
@@itsworkinprogress yes, showed artificial life in big aquarium. When young doesn't bother much. Actually on his age almost nothing did not bother me :D especially passing around big pipe for poo next to the door (have you spotted it), probably even that would not bother on his age. I been exactly same
nobody will rush to come there just because "Jony Bravo" commented on a youtube video
Such good little worker bees!
kind of feels like what I'm doing right now, sitting at a computer, typing stuff, minus all the doors
I think you free lunch is over buddy, welcome to the world of layoffs.
Caralho meu sonho ter uma vida dessa!
Só doar sua alma pro Facebook
I only dream of working for Meta, I'm a data engineer by profession
Bro , you still at meta or fired?
I loved the 2014 youtube minecraft edit songs in the background :)
3 minutes of actual work completed
What a racket doing that…..EVERYDAY!!!
Glad I fly airplanes for a living. Never a dull moment and not shackled to a desk or laptop.
Haha I get it’s not for everyone, still extremely competitive to get in though
Bro just traveled 3 dimensions to get to the cafeteria
This is one of the most motivated videos that i watch it i hope to have a regular job in such amazing environment . Your specialist is interesting also keep hard work man and smart work👍
when ever I'm bored from leetcode, my stop for motivation
You got this!
2:13 I can't with the middle finger keyboard pecking
The wake up part is not scripted at all.
Some day universe, this is why I’m studying software engineer.
I love how they get up after the first alarm sound
Are you fired?
Not just Meta and big tech companies but most software companies are like this. Enjoy life and code.
It seems that in Meta at work they only eat, walk and drink different drinks)
First IT who doesn't go to work at 11.00, starts coding at 11.30am and goes to lunch at 12:30pm, without walking at the nearest park for 2 hours after lunch and going back home at 4:45pm
3:47 "keeping my eyes on the road" -> Shows his face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video, you work very hard but it was good to see you take a bit of time to enjoy short breaks and get outside during parts of the day
Haha thanks! You’re one of the few people who didn’t roast me for taking a break 🙏
Cute and cozy day in the life
10:30pm , smile for the first time today
Blessed guy with the perfect life.
Anyone else feel like he was FLYING on the bike?
This is just a perfect way to describe it. Have a blast, A!
