why would I go, when I can just make my own coffee at home and code in my pj's. If I feel like walls closing in, I just hit the office and talk shit with coworkers for a day, and then I can keep going again for the next week or two at home.
@@humptyDumptyHadAGreatFall valid point.. I guess it is just refreshing to mix the routine up a bit.. there is also a sense of exploration when going to new places with different types of coffee and getting to talk to new people..
Cool video! I’m really curious about how you managed to land a software dev job in Vienna. The job market here feels awful. I’ve been coding since 2009 and recently completed a CS Bachelor’s degree, but despite applying to dozens of Junior positions in the last few months, I haven’t received a single interview invite. It’s discouraging, especially considering that the net income for Junior devs with less than 3 years of work experience here (€31,500/year) is barely on par with that of bus or tram drivers (€32,500/year). Any tips or insights would be appreciated.
kommt wirklich auf das Unternehmen an, in den man arbeitet. Meine aktuelle Stelle ist super. Kollegen von mir haben da nicht so viel Glück; Nur Stress, miese Bezahlung, kein Homeoffice, viele Meetings, riesige alte Codebasen etc. Mal sehen, wie lange es noch gut geht, bis eine KI uns den Job wegnimmt^^
Wir müssen akzeptieren, dass KI helfen kann und Teil unserer täglichen Arbeit sein muss. Außerdem müssen wir anfangen, alle alten Codebasen mithilfe von KI zu aktualisieren. Danke für Ihren Kommentar
among other things, because of such films. people think it's a dream job... coffee on the town and so on. no one talks about the fact that many companies require a return to the offices. it will be interesting to see if such films will be made then, too
Ich stimme zu, aber mit der aktuellen Situation mit KI können Sie mehr Erfahrung sammeln und produktiver sein, sodass Ihre Karriere schneller voranschreitet
I agree with you that some companies require a return to the office. It can be a nice catch to record such videos in a different environment, have a social life with colleagues, and discuss parts of engineering in person.
I've been into software development way back 2011 but stop around 2019 because I've focused on personal matter, now I'm being called on by my former boss to build web app, I think I lost my skills being idle for a very long time and not confident enough if I can still do it like before. I hope I can regain my lost touch skills back again.
Thank you for sharing! It’s natural to feel unsure after a break, but your experience from 2011-2019 has built a solid foundation. Start small, revisit the basics, and explore new tools. The fact that your former boss reached out shows they believe in you-you’ve got this! 😊
I agree, that is true. But it is always up to you to make your job funnier and healthier. We need to make our lives happier by organising the day if the job can allow us to do it. Thanks to this era, self-managing time is possible. Please try to make your day as fun as possible. All the best!
Hello @badnotgood, I am so happy you want to start learning coding. It depends on you how much time you would like to spend. If you ask me I would go but you must follow the right steps and focus only on one thing and gain knowledge. All the best!
@@withviktorsi mean, you don’t have to make a new video about it. I just wanna ask you about this laptop because i am a student at my college and i was wondering about what should the laptop that i wanna buy. So that’s why i asked you. Btw i am taking comsci and i wanna make a content about my life as a student so yeah, hopefully you can give your best answer.
@ so I am basically a Software Engineer where and I working on creating and maintaining backend, frontend and mobile applications. If you would like to continue in this area please make sure that you have a least 16GB of RAM just to cover most of the things without any obstacles. The rest of the things like task management googling or using some apps for productivity is not a real problem. As a content creator you will need to have a good laptop for making the renders to finish faster and make the videos smoother. Hope that I answered most of thngs. All the best 🙏🏼
Q.1. On which tech stack do you work, Q.2. And I also have heard that if today I work in MERN Stack, and tomorrow (3 - 4 years later) it got obsolete. I learn another stack then my experience wouldn't be counted. Pls answer to my questions. Love from India.
Hello, and thank you for your questions. 1. I am working currently with MERN Stack and occasionally with Python and exploring the ML area. 2. If you learn the fundamentals and how the process is to combine everything you will be great in the future if you need to change your tech stack. So learn and move forward. All the best!
I worked as a software engineer for a decade in the early stages of my career, and my personal advice for anyone reading this comment is to stay away from this profession.
If know how to handle some difficult situations I think that it should not be a problem at all. Sometimes bad times can come but if this is your passion will handle them. It will be nice if you can share some details about yout opinion. All the best 🙏🏼
You are right, I did reach this conclusion after 11 years, now I am working on changing my career, stay away from software development it is nothing but a trap. TH-camrs gave the wrong idea about this career.
Yeah, I did for the video to generate the script. I am not able to show the real code project experience of how I am using the AI with Cursor. I will record some video of how I am using it with my side project and you will get a real picture of that. Thanks!
Cool video. But, as someone that has been in the IT market for almost 10 years this is one of the worst times I have ever seen. Almost no more jobs, and tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of very qualified people fired from big companies. So its carnage out there. Good luck!
Thank you so much for the comment. I agree with you, but also it is the best time to start creating digital products with which every person can solve real problems. With AI era every start will be much much easier and faster to finish. Good luck to you and see you in the next video 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for your question. I would not discuss it right now about the numbers because it depends on which area and what type of project/challenge you are. I will create one video about the numbers and will explain everything. Thanks for your understanding. All the best!
Hey, I loved your video! I actually made a similar one about a day in the life of a software engineer at a bank. Would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!
Yes, that is true. Only strong engineers will be here to help businesses implement and maintain their processes. So, please be aware to go deep into this and learn how to be a real engineer. Cheers!
@@withviktors Technically, in depends! If they want to be a code-monkey, yes, i would, but if the want to be a really Software engineers definitely no!

how to learn the fundamentals from scratch (self learning) may you make a video for this topic , i am stuck in the massive amount of resources
For sure I can do that it is already on my timeline. Thanks for it 🙏🏼

@akramnarejo6221 Thank you
the impression you give to new people is that being a programmer is very easy and you spend all day eating in restaurants and drinking coffee.
I agree, that is true. But it is always up to you to make your job funnier and healthier. We need to make our lives happier by organising the day if the job can allow us to do it. Thanks to this era, self-managing time is possible. Please try to make your day as fun as possible. All the best!

Hello Viktor. I am 36 years old. Am I too late to learn coding & change my career into tech?
Hello @badnotgood, I am so happy you want to start learning coding. It depends on you how much time you would like to spend. If you ask me I would go but you must follow the right steps and focus only on one thing and gain knowledge. All the best!

Is it easy to get a job as SW in Vienna?
it depends from company to company, but if you have experience and know how to handle the interviews, it will not be that hard.
I worked as a software engineer for a decade in the early stages of my career, and my personal advice for anyone reading this comment is to stay away from this profession.
Why ? Please tell me
If know how to handle some difficult situations I think that it should not be a problem at all. Sometimes bad times can come but if this is your passion will handle them. It will be nice if you can share some details about yout opinion. All the best 🙏🏼
Why?
just Darwin theory of natural selection

unfortunately, this era of software engineering will end soon, with AI businesses will require significantly fewer engineers....

strong engineers have always been demanded by companies. there is nothing new in this regard.
