Day in the Life of a Software Engineering Intern In Silicon Valley * in-office edition *

Welcome to my Software Engineering internship at Hearth, a fast-growing Fin-Tech startup in Silicon Valley (gethearth.com). I will take you through a Day in my Life working in person in our San Francisco office here in Silicon Valley.
Hey! My name is Nelson and I’m a 3rd-year Computer Engineering student at the University of Toronto. I’m also a part of the 8VC Fellowship (8vcfellowship.com), a prestigious tech fellowship in the Bay Area.
Over the past year, I created Haven, a campus safety app that improves security on campus and reduces sexual assaults (havensafe.co).

Hi!! I haven’t watched your videos since high school and you’ve accomplished a lot since then! I’m so proud :)

[@mujtaba9649]

Awesome vid would love to see how to applied and got the internship!!
You gained a sub, keep up the great work

[@NelsonLeeYT]

For sure! I’ll make that video if a few more people are interested in it too! Maybe get your friends to comment as well 🤩

[@hockeyplaya222]

This was a very interesting video for me to watch. I am starting my Computer Engineering a little later in life as I just turned 30 but seeing videos like this definitely get me motivated to do it.

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Congratulations! You’re gonna do great things!

[@Monkeis]

Dude is hella underated, wish you the best in your YT journey 🧡

[@NelsonLeeYT]

That’s so sweet of you thanks!

[@imtooyungtodie]

Wow the exploratorium looks so fun and cool!!

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Can you imagine going there? I couldn’t 😮

[@bin4ry_d3struct0r]

I graduated U of T with an Hons. B.Sc. in CS as well. Best luck with the rest of your internship!

[@NelsonLeeYT]

That’s awesome! Thanks 🤩

[@violetvoids7029]

Did you get your internship directly via the PEY job board or like externally from LinkedIn or smth.

[@pvlifestylefitness]

Amazing work my friend 👏 new friend here 👍 Thank you very much for sharing 👏

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Thanks!!!

[@emmanuelstech]

Niceee, thanks for sharing.

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Hope it was a fun watch!

[@emmanuelstech]

@@NelsonLeeYT Dude, it was, it motivates me to keep studying, right now as a Developer in a technical institute in my country and further on, hopefully, making my engineering career at U of T or at another state of art technological university 😁🙏🙌

[@nelsonbeneche2372]

Great videos...

[@NelsonLeeYT]

TY!

[@Warun16]

Hey! Is there a reason you chose to do computer engineering over cs/se if you planned on going for software positions? Great content!

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Hey! I thought that the skills of an Engineer is more applicable to areas outside just software. I have flirted with the idea of getting an MBA or going into Law at one point. As well, I feel that there is a much closer Engineering community in university compared to CS!

[@Warun16]

@@NelsonLeeYT I see, so you wanted a more versatile degree with a tighter community. Gotcha!

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Ya! And most of the skills to get into a Software job (Leetcode etc) isn’t covered that much in school so you have to self learn that anyway

[@cynthiaedeh3549]

Awesome

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Thanks!

[@barscan9981]

Great video, would love to hear your tips on getting an internship in the Bay Area

[@NelsonLeeYT]

I’ll make one soon!

[@OMDEH_4]

hi , can you tell me who's better ( macbook / lenovo thinkbook 15 g2 itl i7 11th) for computer engineering ?? if mac is better than windows can you tell me the Specifications ?

[@NelsonLeeYT]

MacBook Pro M1 is sufficient, even the Air will be good enough unless you’re doing crazy types of computations!

[@william2154]

How do you wear a full crewneck in 20°+ weather ?! In toronto when its 20° im kickin out shorts and tanks

[@ashishjha2065]

Hii Bro loved your video. Can you please let me know How did you apply for a SDE Intern Role at Hearth and they provide Visa Support to abroad countries student???

[@NelsonLeeYT]

I’m glad you liked it. I applied though the 8VC Fellowship which I linked in the description. They provided Visa support for me since I’m Canadian and not from the US
