Today, I walk around San Francisco and ask software engineers if they actually love their job and if they would change anything. Thanks to HubSpot for sponsoring today’s video.

I'm in early 30's because I keep bouncing around different things just quickly gaining proficiency and just starting in some career path, and then I get the passion destroyed in the job. At least when I had some programming classes they were the only time I actually read every last assigned reading and got fully immersed in coding morning to night with my free time. I worked IT for some years in a big company. I can either resume it or switch to programming. The way I am considering it is which one will keep me sharp on a skill I will actually utilize in life. And which one will be less on call.

It's pretty telling how some people are answering this question as if they're being asked about it in a job interview, just pre-rehearsed answers like "flexibility in solving ambiguous problems" without being too direct. It's okay if you don't like your job, you don't have to convince yourself you like it, and you definitely don't have to convince others. You definitely don't have to convince yourself that your job at this major corporation is important/unique/affecting any actual change. It's a job, software engineers get paid relatively well compared to most other workers. Just collect the check, and focus on enjoying your life and helping people.

I didnt personally understand those responses the same way you did. Canned answers are a great way to not show up on a youtube video looking like a jackass saying there is something wrong with your company lmao. I understood flexibility to mean something like, hey I work from home and sometimes that means I work for 4 hours, then take a 3 hour lunch where I nap. Then log back on for a meeting before I play video games with my friends for a bit. Finish the day out with some emails and call it a day. Engineering isnt a 9-5 type job. I could take a 2 hour bike ride and be "working" by thinking about the problem as I stroll. Im not saying they definitely meant it my way, just thats how I interpreted it.

...or these people genuinely love that aspect about their jobs? I think this is in SF, and these people work at some of the biggest, most innovative tech companies in the world. Working for a company like FB or Google or Microsoft isn't like working at some no-name company. These people are very cognizant about what kind of company they want to work for. They don't just go to work to make money and then go home. To them it isn't just another "big corporation" job. If they don't feel intellectually and/or morally productive at the company, they wont work there. They actually care about the kind of work they do because they value their time, intellect, and effort. Which is why they answer that way.

I am retired after working as software engineer for 47 years. I think it was the best career choice. You are a good fit for the job if you are a slightly compulsive puzzle-solver. Writing software will be a bit like playing a game of chess. It will feel like good brain-exercise, much like running for some people is a feel-good muscle exercise. You will develop personal software all the time for your own use, as much as on-the-job, and will do it as much for the fun of it as for the utility of your toys and tools.

As a software engineer, this seems pretty much it. Software engineering is a huge huge field, with lots of mobility and options. Its a career that is very "alive" at the moment, so there are a lot of opportunities to find something that you like in a place that you want to work in. Is this career something that people are passionate about? Yes and no, a lot of my peers picked this career because there was something they loved about it, but work in general sucks the joy out of everything. People certainly enjoy parts of their job, but most of them have other activities that make them happier, that's how it works in the industry. Plus, the pay is great, there is a certain freedom that you get that doesn't make you love the career, but makes you thankful to it. Doing something that you like to enjoy a livestyle that you love.

I don't think software engineers in general likes the job. What they usually like is what their job allows them to do. Some can do their job duties without being tied to one location, some have lexible schedules, some have great paycheck that lets them to spend time on their hobbies or just allows them to have certain luxuries etc. (Of course benefits highly depend on the company you work for, but I have only met 1 software engineer who actually is obsessively passionate about programming. So I assume it's safe to say that job itself isn't likeable).

Here’s a better question, would you be happier rich and not work or get paid and work for the well-paying job you “supposedly” love? Most people will choose the first option unless they do something like sports or travel or something that is actually enjoyable. If they love solving ambiguous problems would they still love their job if they were paid minimum wage? Salary will always be a factor behind any “love” for a job especially for tech. I think these people are answering based on a relative scale. Do you love your job (compared to all other possible jobs out there/previous ones you’ve had)? Seems to be implied.

I work with devs, surrounded by them. You can’t generalise and say devs do or don’t like what they do - it’s as personal to the person as the love for any job would be in any field. Great pay, working on cool things (where relevant) and with good people all help ofc though.

Kind of a pointless video to make. Are you really expecting anyone being interviewed to be honest? What if people said they hated their job and their boss or someone at their company happened to watch this video? They'd get fired instantly. Most of the answers given for loving their job are just the most generic shit you'd hear in any interview: "I love being challenged..." "I love the people" lmao. If you want real answers just go on Blind and you'll find that those really don't match what is being said in this video.

Most of these people get jobs in the IT field because they know they are higher paying jobs than most. Doesn't matter if they don't have a passion or actually affinity with programming. Truth is, not everyone understands programming languages and how they work, beyond the bare minimum to survive in a job. I've seen countless of cases with employees that are still middle after 8-9 years, because they don't have the skills and problem solving thinking mentality. In every IT company you go it's the same, there is a small group of people who are actually great at programming and the rest are just meh....
