First Day in the Life of 2022! Hit the like button for more vlogs 😄
We are so close to 10k!! Should I do a giveaway? 👀
Hell yea 🎁❤️🤣
Btw you should make a discord as well
@@skullmem I've had a few requests to make a discord! I honestly don't know much about running one but I'll definitely look into it
@@yourfriendintech yea sure if you are interested reply to this message I will create a good one for free of course lol and I"ll manage it as well you have come and have a chat from time to time when you are free so you won't have much to manage. If you are interested only lol 😄😄😄
@@skullmem awesome, I'll definitely keep you in mind thank you!
I'm a freshman software engineering student from China, love your videos, it's hard to attend all these classes, and still feel like I don't know anything about code and what to do with my future. Watching your videos give me the strength to keep going.
You got this! 👨💻 You're still very young you have a lot of time to figure things out. Remember to enjoy the journey ✌️
Not new here but I missed the first time you asked it.. Hello from the Netherlands! :)
I'm a student who is currently writing his bachelor thesis on CNNs and seeing these sorts of videos always gives me more motivation to work even harder, so thanks so much and keep up the good work!
Hello! 😄 That's awesome, is that what you want to work on after you graduate? 🇳🇱
I'm a backend dev from Philippines and been wanting to experience going in an office like that. Most of my dev career is WFH and I feel so isolated at times. I want to experience those perks that I'm seeing from different creators here in YT.
The office is definitely a treat - I've been WFH for the bulk of the past 2 years and it was so nice to go back. With that said, I do miss the comfort of working from my own home and having more control over my schedule
Ayeee love it, office vlog again! Watching from Philippines❤️🙌
Glad you enjoyed it! 🇵🇭🙌
Always fun and inspiring to watch these videos! I have a question Jon, do you have any other software project aside from Google?
Thank you! These videos are fun to make so I'm glad you enjoy them. I don't have any other projects, sometimes I'll write one off scrips but just for myself
Great video. Thanks for answering my question Jon🔥
Thanks Elijah! 🙂
Hey man, i from Brazil and I love to see your work day, thanks for that and keep going
Thanks Felipe! I appreciate that so much 🇧🇷
Love the video! I am from Germany and I am going to start studying CS in the end of the year:)
Thank you! Best of luck in your studies! 🇩🇪 I have a video on my channel on what I wish I knew before I started studying CS that you might find interesting th-cam.com/video/oasbUIcNvRk/w-d-xo.html
I am a new undergrad. software engineering student from Nigeria, I really enjoy your videos, It has always been my dream to work with google and I hope to do that in the future. Watching your videos makes me to realize that it is possible to even work at google and other big tech companies
Thank you for the kind words! Dreams do come true, best of luck in your studies! 🇳🇬
Cool video! Hope you like going back into the office. Would be a cool video to see how you dealt with burnout or your routines to stay focused. Cheers!
Returning to the office has been alright, I actually feel like I've been less productive lately, but I'm still figuring things out! Thanks for the suggestions Chris!
AHHHH these kind of videos get me so excited as noogler :)
Welcome to Google 😄
just found your channel love the videos :)
Glad you enjoy it James!
Hello from deep South Texas (McAllen), Jon!! Great video
Thanks Carlos! I appreciate it
Awesome as always..❤️❤️
i am wondering if john has his job now in Jan 2023
He seems like he does more work than other day in the life vloggers I’ve seen, he’s probably considered a “high performer” and still has his job
Thats what i came to find out.
Thanks Jon for answering my questions 🙂❤
Thanks for asking! 😄
Finally the wait is over.I am not a cs student.But learning code by myself.It motives me.thanks a lot.
Awesome! What resources are you using to learn?

Thanks for asking a question! 🙏
Thanks for covering my comment Jon!
👍👍 Thanks for asking a question! 😄
Thanks for the this video, I will be joining google in the mtv office in July. Really excited to visit the office. Do you have any advice on how to find apartments near mtv/sf. Thanks again and keep it up.
That's exciting! Do you know where you already want to live? You might try local reddit groups to research areas and then use Facebook groups/craiglist/Zillow to find apartments
Hi Jon. Greetings from Brunei and also what a coincidence that is name is Jonathan. :D
You're the first to comment from 🇧🇳!
Junior full-stack web and mobile developer. Greetings from Ethiopia!
Greetings! 🇪🇹
It would be so fun to ride those bikes around the Google campus 😍
It is! The campus is so huge it's a nice way to get around 🚴♀️
Thankyou so much,, keep going...
Thank you! I will!! 😄
Hi Jon! Firstly on ur channel, its pretty cool to see such positive vibes during all ur video)
I have a question: As I know, HQ of Google and other IT-giants are pretty far from SF, right? Do u live directly in SF and take a corporate bus to get to the job? How much time does it take? And is it a bad idea to rent apartment near the office? I heard, there are not really good infrastructure & neighbourhoods for living, is it true? (e.g. in mountain area, cupertino, etc).
Hi Lew! Yes I live in SF and take a bus down to Mountain View. It can take about an hour, up to sometimes 2 hours if traffic is really bad (I avoid commuting in peak traffic times). I'm not familiar with living in South Bay (Mountain View area) but tons of people live there. I think it depends on what you're looking for in a neighborhood
Finally came back with a new positive video 😁
I can't believe it's been so long since my last vlog 😅 time is flying
Love it ❤️
Tony
Thanks Tony! 😊
Hey Jon, greetings from Argentina im not a Software Engineer but I work as PM/SM for a software company here. Is all the food free for google employees? I mean everything you show on your videos is free? Google bus, Food, activities in the office. It's really cool to see that as that means a lot of money saved for the employees. Why do you think cultures between countries are so different?
Really enjoyed your content!
Haha Just watching the video and noticed you answered the Food question. 😅
Hey Tomas! Yes most of the perks are free! There are some things you can pay to use like dry cleaning services or getting a haircut on campus. I'm honestly not too familiar with other countries cultures regarding the software engineer industry, what's it like in Argentina?
Hello there. Your video is very nice. I have a question: You write code without looking at the keyboard. How did you improve yourself in typing on the keyboard? Do you have any tactics?
Hello! I've been using a computer from a very young age so I just learned how to type without looking from using a keyboard pretty much daily for the past decade 😅. I have a related video where I talk about my typing speed th-cam.com/video/bzyhOaYvdcI/w-d-xo.html
Hey Jon, I was wondering your opinions on living in SF / South Bay if you're coming out of college? Also, how bad/worth it is the commute from SF and do you feel rushed in the mornings? What are the pros/cons of commuting is my question essentially!
Hey Shan! Will you have friends out here? I think that makes a big difference when moving to any new city. Honestly the commute really sucks during prime time traffic, especially if you have to drive. I love living in SF, most of my family and friends are here so the commute is worth it to me since I only go into the office 3 days a week, my schedule is super flexible so I take the late morning bus and early evening shuttles to avoid rush hour, and there's wifi and tables on my bus when I commute so that's super convenient. The major con is that it takes hella long lol
@@yourfriendintech Do you have the option of still wfh fulltime, or is it mandatory to go in 3 days a week?
@@boredguy5805 Yeah I still have the option to wfh fulltime
@@yourfriendintech dope dope, thanks for the reply
@@yourfriendintech Hey Jon, I will have college friends moving out there too to South Bay (e.g. menlo park area) so I think I would go to South Bay so I have some people I know. Right now, I'm just thinking about where to live and if I should live with roommates or not and who. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about roommates? Or have you been living with your SO sine college? (I'll be at the Googleplex in August :) -- thanks for your inspiration, I was watching your videos through my interview process a few months ago!).
what backpack do you use dude? looks super nice
Hey Matt! In this video I'm using the Peak Design Everyday Zip 20L amzn.to/3LwPVpM I actually just got this bag to carry my camera; for an everyday backpack I recommend the Bellroy Tokyo Totepack, I made a video about it: th-cam.com/video/bE5II7Ua7j4/w-d-xo.html
idk if those new Sydney opera house looking buildings are done being built yet, but that would be cool if you took us along for a tour of those.
I haven't checked it out myself yet but yeah that would be a cool video idea. Thanks!
lol, how often do you post. Maybe I'll see you around the campus if anything :)
I post around every other week 👍
Hey Jon great vid! I was wondering what your thoughts are on the google certification program? I am trying to get into the tech industry but have little experience. I was wondering if the google certs or other programs would you recommend?
Hey gil! Unfortunately I don't know enough about which certificates to recommend. But I just posted a video on my channel about the Google Apprenticeship program that sounds right up your alley, you should check it out!
And here is me... Waiting for your Google Resume video...🥰
I may release it in the fall since that's around the time new grad applications open up!
What's poppin' Fellow Googler? Lol. I like to see all of the other office setups.
Heyo! What office are you from?
@@yourfriendintech I'm at WCK.
It's really motivating🌝
Glad you enjoyed it! 🌝
Hi Jon! ... Greetings from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Hi Daniel! Thanks for tuning in 🇳🇬
I'm watching from Nigeria. Looking into coding. I'm still on python print and input function. Fingers crossed on consistency
You can do it! 🇳🇬
Great vid and thanks for it... am praying will joined this big tech faang tech
Thank you! You'll join one day 👍
Hello Jon! I find your videos inspiring and hope to be at Google one day!
Hello! Glad they're helpful, have you applied yet?
@@yourfriendintech I haven’t yet! I take DSA this fall. I am going to study some of the data structures this summer so I can get started on Leetcode.
@@jiralhanaechief Oh nice! If you're in college, look into applying to the Google Internship programs. They usually open up applications in the fall
Hi Jon I'm from Shillong India and my cousin who also watched this video told me that my face cut and your face cut look alike and I guess I agree to that.
You must be a good looking person 😉
@@yourfriendintech you're good looking too ma bro😇
What’s the coloured text in your Google doc? Can you share examples of how you use this to manage tasks? Not sure what ‘punt’ is. Thanks! 😊
The color text is just a visual cue to help me quickly see what tasks are not started/in progress/completed. Punt means that I either hand it off to someone else to work on or decided that I won't be working on it due to it not being a priority
I love your videos, and I’m from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦😉
Thank you Adi! 🇸🇦
Jon, I'm in Chicago and hope to work with Google Workspace team one day.
Hey Steve! That's great, have you applied?
Very nice video 👍
Appreciate it Victor! ✌️
4:45 the food is what we all want to see.❤
Yeahhh we back bois
🫡
can you switch up a project? or choose what you want to work on or is it assigned to you?
It's a bit of both. As an entry level engineers you are mostly given projects to help you get familiar with the codebase and to grow as an engineer. Ideally you'd always work on things that you want to work on, but that's something that depends on your team/manager because sometimes there is no one else that can do the work. Generally as you become more senior, you have more choice on what you get to work on
Describe how you got involved with your university and google .. What language would you recommend to someone who is basically learning programming?
Hi! Google gave tech talks at my school and thats how I found out about the internship programs. For beginners, I would recommend starting with Python!
hi jon,
Congratulations on getting the Internship, I was curious about the conversion interviews.
I got mixed thoughts on internet, some say they have stopped taking conversion interviews but some deny to the fact. Can you please elaborate on it? It will be of great help
Hi! I don't have any information regarding that. You can try reaching out to the Google Students social media accounts, they'll have the most up to date information
this is inspirational video for me....fan from india😇
Thanks Praveen! 🇮🇳
Thank you from India
Ty for watching! 🇮🇳
Since you work on the bus does that count as an hour of your work day? or are you still in the office for 8 hours?
Yup the time on the bus counts towards my work day
Oh and another one!
Let me finish my contest first, hehe
😄
watching from iowa :)
Hey Nirmal! Did ya move there recently?
@@yourfriendintech yeah, I came from Nepal for MS this Jan :)
@@NirmalSilwal awesome!! Congrats 🥳
Hi Jon! I'm also at FAANG and I just had one of my ears pierced. I just wanted to ask if you have ever experienced something negative with having both of your ears pierced. I'm asking since I rarely see people in tech with piercings. Thank you
Hi! I haven't experienced anything negative, and I wouldn't have thought that I would either. The culture is pretty open minded here (bay area) I've actually had both my ears pierced since I was a teenager
0:02 I remember the film named Internship.
Me too! It came out the same summer as my first internship at Google so it was pretty funny to watch
Can you please review some of the best algorithm books for beginner to pro level and also a good laptop recommendation for student .
If you're just learning how to code, any laptop will do! Unless you want to specifically code for iOS/Mac ecosystem then you will need a mac computer
@@yourfriendintech if you can , then please mention some of the good algorithm books also. And I am thinking of buying the macbook pro 13.3 inches for coding and video editing, should I go for it .
@@anuragbose2622 I used this book in college, highly recommend: amzn.to/36KNlgN
And yes the latest macbook pros are great for coding and video editing - it's what I use 😄
From: Clovis, California ( Toured Google 3 times with Google Developers Group, Fresno, Ca)
Awesome! How do you like being in GDG?
@@yourfriendintech it's been amazing. We have one primary individual that has attended all of the Google - io's etc.
We have toured Google twice, but both times a new Android was pending so the offices were closed to the public... Kit Kat & Oreo
Second time got to see the "Google Visitors Center" but recently,
Noticed that the whole place is under construction :)
TH-cam reached out for an interview, still getting my coding skills up to par.
I am 26 years IBM Languages, so converting over to the Python, Web Languages...
Turned down a FaceBook interview, just not quite up to speed yet but SOON - !
These videos are great, a huge inspiration to thousands of people...
We really appreciate you and your vids.
Wishing you all the success and many, many subscribers...
Hey Jon, did you go to university? If so what did you study and to what level? Also I really like your vid’s, keep up the great work
Thanks Ethan! I have my bachelor's and masters both in computer science
awesome
Thank you! 😄
I'm new to this world. Is what you do considered back or front end?
My work is considered front end, specifically Android development - I work on the home screen of the Android OS
What backpack do you use?
I have a video about it 🎒😊 th-cam.com/video/bE5II7Ua7j4/w-d-xo.html
hey nice video. first time here. i just finished highschool and getting into college. i also like computer science and stuff. so i just wanna ask if you got any words of wisdom for me (advice) :D
I have a video on advice I wish I knew before studying computer science that you might find helpful! th-cam.com/video/oasbUIcNvRk/w-d-xo.html
hi ! nice effort
Hi! Thank you 😊
I hope to work at google one day just like you
You should apply!
