      @Simple Economics Absolutely Amazing book! To get more out of the book. I would suggest you to read it again after a while after completing, it will help in understanding it more deeper.

    100% Going to need to checkout short form, between full-time work, studying for FAANG and reading Clean Code and Understanding Distributed Systems (purchased both since your last vid!). I really want to read Atomic Habits after finish some other books. Road to 100K, keep up the good work, love your videos!

    I just want to add my personal favorite non-techical book that it will definately improve the life of anyone who reads it:
    Poor Charlie's Almanac. The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger
    Hands down, the most valueable book I have ever read.
    PS. Thanks for sharing this list, I have read 4 out of 6. Ordering the other two now!

    From the list I completed Atomic Habits by James Clear. Very good Book to learn about your habits and how to build good habits and remove bad ones. Such books are not to be thrown away and forgotten after reading it.
    Will definitely read the book, The Lean Startup.

    Thanks so much!

    I don’t have experience with any of the very large tech companies but I would be interested in a video about what the software engineering levels are like in a large tech company you have worked for (assuming you’re allowed to talk about it as a current employee).
    Basically what is involved in the role at each level, at which level you would be expected to manage a team, etc.
    Also, as a full stack developer at such a company, what kind of things are you working on (if you can explain without breaching confidentiality).
    Does your role lean more to front or back end or an even split?
    Is it hard as a full stack dev in a company with so many people that they already have specialists in each specific area?
    I ask as someone who is around your age and is a full stack dev interested in maybe looking to a large tech company for my next job.
    I believe I am a very competent and hard working developer but I sometimes doubt myself, since I assume that large companies have the resources to employ the best specialists and that as a full stack I am likely not as good as a high level specialist in any one area.

    I like how Utsav reflects the real situation in software development world for developers... it's not just a world full of coding and fixing bugs... it's more than that, where soft skills are matter as technical skills.
    Technical skills help you to get hired, soft skills help you to promote and to lead.
    Thanks Utsav

    It is the really great list of book. I love ur sharing. I would like to add the book "Soft Skills: The software developer's life manual" by John Sonmez, it can cover basic concepts of work and life balance and pretty easy to understand for SE.

    Utsav I love that you are covering this topic, but I don't think the Intelligent Investor is a great resource for people trying to learn about financial freedom. I would suggest things like Psychology of Money or Rich Dad Poor Dad. These novels give a more applied look into how you ought to think about/spend your money.

      In an interview? Usually you wouldn’t get to choose what software you use in an interview I would think. I would assume you would draw a diagram on a whiteboard if you were drawing diagrams.
