Looks like You have never worked in amazon warehouse.

What about this strikes you as a good work-life balance? He barely gets to do anything but work...

@@Sn1per9CZE He got to do quite a bit during the day.... I don't advocate for this because these companies take away all independence. When you want to leave, it is really hard because these companies took control of every facet of your life from food to what gym you go to. It very nice to start just very draining when leaving to a different company. It's feels like you just cut off your arm when you leave, but you know you have to leave because you already burnout, and already lost a leg.

@@Forrest10 Lol, I've tried working as an Amazon Warehouse Associate turned out to be an overnight stocker to assist with preparation for customer's package when they go out for delivery. It sucks and I quit after the first three days of working there. The first night was mostly training which I went over the exact same thing over the online course training just to be repeated and never got any real work done until the second and third night. And it was brutal just to be able to keep up with performance expectation which I ain't got time for. Working for Amazon Associate is a completely different story then being a developer or software programmer for Amazon.

lol amazon and wlb do not go together.

of course haha! always nice to show what a day looks like and yes Nala is the sweetest :)

Most them are actually overworked as hell working for 12+ hrs 6 times a week

Your life sounds like it sucks

the more you get paid the less actual work you do

watch more videos on FAANG engineering, and you will see that all of these benefits are just for PR. the actual job is pressuring and competitive to the extreme. I would know, I have one.

hahahah oh yeah!! :D

Microsoft guy spotted

It’s almost as if Amazon employees think they’re special and boogie 😂

I wonder who the competitor in Redmond could be!! Lol

Why say at a competitor instead of just saying where you work lmfao not special

thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

because he doesn't show the reality behind it.. mostly all day in the life video show amazing, fun, happy side but not the bad side..

indeed, this is showing more likely 85% messing around 15% actual work........it doesn't "work" like that in most of the companies, Amazon included. Misleading video

@@GabrielPersello yeah, i know most of the people actual want to see "day in the life as a Software Engineer" and relate too not fake one.

i dont believe this kind of a day in life shit on youtube nowadays

Because you’re correct, the work doesn’t get done. ……. by him anyway. Some poor conscientious dude will be working 80 hour weeks picking up the slack. This douche will just be managing the relationship with his manager so he doesn’t get found out.

hello!! so glad to see you here haha! I love your videos!

Bot

Being an Amazon employee is like getting into Harvard or MIT, you have to be super well rounded.

@@nickheyer Not really...you just need to be good at interview/answering leadership principle related questions

@@chrischeng158 but its still hard😭, faang companies are hard to get into compared to other tech companies

terrible

Exactly, this is ok if you are single, and to have longer working day, included personal activities. But, if you have a family, this is waste of time. Job is job, and private life ( family life ) has to be separate. In reality, 8h of working day, average is 6h of productive hours.

Here in Brazil is the same thing, 8h/day. I work from 8:30~12:00 | lunch | 13:30~18:00. It's not glamorous as the video, it's just work 8h a day.

@@albertobalmeida He likely embellished a lot in this video. Amazon is a top company with demanding schedules of its HQ employees. I find it very hard to believe their engineers are not working at least 8 hours a day if not more.

My work hours are 8am-6 pm with 2-hour break around 2-4 pm

India, same thing. 10-2 work, lunch break, 2:45 to 7 work. This for an avg software engineer.

how many hours a week did you work when you were at amazon

@@username-hs3pcAround 50 regularly, 60 if there were issues or large projects

Any suggestions or any comments? I have exactly 10 days to start my career. I want to be a software engineer. I already have a bfa

How much was ur salary ?

After watching similar Life-as-Blog from Twitter and Google I gotta say I can imagine why these overpriced employees have been laid off in droves! He’s job could just as easily been a barista! What the hell is he coding!?! Does he use the Java Spring Boot framework? Is there a deadline?? What about late nights and weekends??? It can’t be “mission critical” stuff because I worked at the bank that processes all transactions and credit approvals… on 10/20 year old mainframe COBOL applications that the hundreds thousands of posting overnight and applications for credit in sub-seconds… else there would be FEDERAL COMPLIANCE ISSUES COSTING THE BANK MILLIONS OF DOLLAR$$$! And we sure don’t have time for gym work outs or late nights in clubs… we ran a 24x7 shop (with Offshore) and ran all weekend code installations! Amazon was 40% of our business! And anyone showing this kind of work environment… would be FIRED! 😅

hey whatever makes you the most productive :)

I feel that, I am currently doing software development roughly 7-5

@ASRDGEEK wow your doing amazing! Can I ask how much you earn per year?

We get more in the goverment

Hey man, I'm in a similar situation. I also work in a low paid, dangerous job - but a couple of months ago I decided to start taking steps towards a career in tech and am working towards a few qualifications to get into the tech industry. If I can do it, you can too. Good luck!

@@TheBeardedBuffoon That is awesome to hear. I hope it works out for you man!

​@@TheBeardedBuffoon 👊🤙👍

Congratulations!

Congrats

I doubt the everyone working for amazon has such a privilege

thank you so much for watching! hah yeah maybe you can transfer over to Seattle. Yeah it's nice to get a workout in sometimes, I don't do it everyday during work tho, I have gym bag :)

with that life routine i wouldn't even complain about going to office tbh

Oh gosh summer in Seattle is heaven 🙌🏻

Brother, it depends on the team. Go on blind and you'll find Amazon managers shouting, throwing things at engineers- lots of minim Galvin Belsons. Also, this is for a good video.

Amazon in the house posting comments 🤣

hahahah this is bullshit, 90% messing around, 10% work, the real life of a programmer is not like this, lol this is just for content, the reality of him is not like this hahahaha

You are helping the world in a much better way

How was the technical assessment?

Are you sowfter engineer??

thank you so much! I will keep up the work!

I’m 20, working as an industrial electrician, my next move will be to try leveling up to programming. Let’s get the journey begin 🤥

what sources are you using to become a software engineer?

@@tommasoerba7796 Wooooow.

@@tommasoerba7796 are you good at math??

Yeah.... these videos are NEVER realistic. They are setup and scripted for the video and glamorize it. I don't think there's a single realistic "day in the life if a SE" video.

Using a video like this to get an idea of their life is the same as using the videos of youtubers and their " morning routines". His actual life is barely waking up, stressing out at his workstation all day and going home depressed and needing to edit videos.

awww thank you so much ! Glad you liked it! and good luck with you too!

Como vão as coisas hoje?

Já se preparada para se mudar, porque aqui no Brasil é codar das 8 as 18 e ainda sim não dar conta do que tem para fazer

@@johnspeaks55 exatamente! sinto que no BR nós somos muito mais cobrados do que os gringos e por isso temos fama de bons trabalhadores lá fora.

@@viniciusl.7759 Exatamente isso. Pena que aqui não somos tratados como bons trabalhadores, monetariamente falando

Thank you so much!! Yes office campus is nice 😌

Where are you from??

@@Bilkes-sm9jg The UK :)

I live 45 min from Seattle, I don't even visit anymore because of how sketchy it is. I would never move there. Not a bad place to commute for work though, as you can see the high income areas are fancy if you don't stray far from your path.

Dumb people can't realize that the dog belongs outside and not in the damn apartment..

Yeah, me too. This is pure horror

You can take your dogs into the Seattle hq with you! No idea if he does this though.

It's just a dog

@@NycAgent47 wouldn't expect any other comment from a dude with a cat as a profile picture. You'll never know true love

haha not really, thank you!

Honestly no offense at all, but it looked a little lonely. I glad Nala got two walks in. God bless. Save some time for relationships.

@@yahwehagape I don’t think it’s necessarily lonely. Technically, you live your whole life alone - the only person that’s always with you is yourself. Of course he has his coworkers and I’m sure a few friends outside of work. This is, after all, only a little piece of his life he chooses to share with the internet.

Of course! Thank you for watching!! I'm curious when it'll be open in india office?

@@alberthbyang HRs said we wont be having offline internships. And since our internships end on June 24th, I am guessing they'll reopen by July. No official date from them though

@@SatyamKumar-ts2jh can you tell me how did you get internship in amazon and what stack do you use on work

your LPA?

Hey congratulations! That varies from team to team, so you'd need to see how your team does that :) My team currently does not require going to the office but lots of my teammates already go regularly. and there's still few months till summer so things could change

lmao I never look at Blind actually

Blind seems toxic as hell. I don’t go on there for my mental health... I thought I was compensated well until I went on blind lol

it was!! haha it's an 'artistic' desk where there's a record player I just sat there to listen to some music and check messages :)

thank you! it is pretty cool! congrats and hope you like it :D

Hi @yash kumar gupta i am commerce class 12 student and thinking of doing bca in collge i have few question for you if you pls reply 1 can bca land me in top 500 fortune companies 2 can you pls tell me carrer path or extra course which should i do 3 can pls give me something so that i can contact you ( optional ) 😁 Lokking forward

hell yeahh let's gooo bro! yeah I love Seattle! and thank you, you'll make it one day like you said :)

@@alberthbyang hell yeah bru, everytime I visit Seattle I fall in love with it even more haha. Nesxt time I'm out there we should hangout and take some photos, I'm a portrait photographer myself. Love your photos too bru.

EUA? Primeiro mundo? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

best of luck!!

will do, but would you also be interested in travel related?

@@alberthbyang ofcourseee and anybody tell you you look like that guy from outlander the bad Brit guy.

Hey there! I'm glad you found it helpful or inspiring! I'd recommend taking some online classes on data structures and algorithms it helps with understanding CS fundamentals and interviews. And if you're looking to become a web developer or some specific niche then I'd focus on developing those skills, learn reactJS and typescript/javascript etc. But yeah keep doing what you're doing, seems like you're looking to get all the trainings you need and good luck with interviews!

@@alberthbyang Thank you! I really appreciate the reply! If you don't mind me asking, are you doing web development?

@@TacoLegs ofc! yes I'm full stack.

@@alberthbyang One of the things I am finding pretty frustrating is what to focus on for studying, alot from what I have read is that the SDE role in Amazon focuses around the fundamentals of Java, but when you say full stack is that something that is completely different then the role I would be in? I guess I am just trying to get a better understanding, lol

@@TacoLegs haha I don't know where you heard that but that's not really true. Java is just one of the popular languages used at Amazon but we also use Typescript, python, Ruby, Scala etc. Languages aren't the most important thing but CS fundamentals are. Full stack I mean I work on front end to back end implementations of web applications. Hope that helps!

😂😂😂 true

That banana was just for scale.

😂😂😂 maybe

I'd say definitely get really good with data structures and algorithms, practice on leetcode for interview questions.

Hey there, great question! Please don't assume that my everyday is exactly like this video, I would say everyday for me is a bit different, this was just one of the days. Obviously with covid, we're still not back to normal working in the office yet so that would change at some point so should be more people interactions in person as well. For me software engineering is just part of my life, I would suggest find another hobby that you're really passionate about, for me that's photography and cinematography and travel, so I always find doing these things outside of work help me a lot. good luck with graduation and job hunting :)
