Japan on a whole is overrated on everything. People should stop romanticizing Japan and think it can do no wrong. I had fun going places but once the novelty of food and shops wore off, in less than 3 days, I found it oppressive, suffocating, fake, and forced

That’s too much figure out a way instead of joining promoted tours you can Google cheaper walking tours or other tours or go to taco vendors yourself

The way you picked up that mug 😭

The tech golden years are over. Tesla just laid off 14000 employees. Good luck out there but there are so many people looking for work in this field. It seems like it's an employers market these days.

where is Ep 4???

hey nice video. so you are now working as a software engineer?

How do you manage all of this without burning out? I know that the System Design interview has caveats but do you think that there is a positive because it forces you to learn and be on top of System Design techniques?

Something that has helped me when I was 7 months jobless - I started putting myself up on Upwork as a freelancer and got gigs that way that held me over until I got a job and I also picked up side jobs on apps like Upshift while doing that. Now my freelancer portfolio has quite a bit experience and I get clients way quicker than I get a job. I haven’t went into it full time yet, but I plan to possibly one day switch over to become a full time freelancer, but I’ve had the opportunity and just been too scared. If no one else sees your value, CREATE your own!! Took me some time to get my first big client but it happened quicker than finding a job. Just a food for thought for someone out here

Formation its 2500$ monthly fee 😢

You go girl!

Thank you Bukola! You inspired me. Wish you the best.

I had no idea what FAANG was, but mmmm I see the vision! I'd love to hear your thoughts on FAANG, MAMAA, FAANGM or FAAMNG LOL

lol I’m trying to stay positive. My bachelor degree was psychology and was really really tough to find job in my country and moved the States and in college degree in IT rn it goes tough too since everybody talks about it. Stay positive girl stay positive 😄

I just built my first app as well. I learned both figma and coding this year. I am still rusty on my coding tbh. I am on process of deployment. Any tips on making deployment a smoother process?

4 months in, and still hunting. We are going to get through this people!

I would love access to ur flashcards

I didn't get notifications about a new upload , wtf KZbin

You look just like a woman I used to love the world is remarkable I tell ya.

If salary is 500K, how much will be netted after tax?

Hey Bukola, can you provide the link to these patterns? at kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYndiHqjns-WfZo

Hi .I would like ask you looking for 6 figure job or just any job in tech industrie?

Congratulations on getting interviews! I wanted to ask, do you have any tips or tricks for getting an interview? I am an undergrad about to graduate college with a major in CS and it's very difficult for me to even get interviews. Please let me know what advice you can offer to help get interviewed.

Not so surprising many are homeless how can anyone afford 5000us dollar per mouth?Very very tine too-how high salary have you?

I thought formation was a scam started by Michael who is always pushing it on reddit.. and shutting down any other way of learning but HIS!

Thank you for this! I am taking a few courses to help with the knowledge gap from doing bootcamps

Hey Bukola, what are your thoughts on studying CS now? The job market seems to have cooled for it and with AI's programming abilities, maybe CS is no longer a good bet ? Maybe this could be a video!

I don't really believe this story. No company is going to pay a software engineering 500k a year. There just isn't any reason to do that. You could fire that person and hire 5 engineers for 100k or 20 of them in India for 50k .

um can i just live there

The US job market seems bizarre... On average, I find something new within 2-3 months. It can take longer, when I start looking around the summer holidays for example, but less dramatic than I read about in the comments here. Also, the application process is easier here. On average (again), most applications here have 1 or 2 stages. The 2nd stage usually being a "talk" with a more technically inclined individual. On the rare (yes, rare) occasions you have to pass a test, the questions revolve around the technology stack used there. They would - for example - ask you to implement something simple using LINQ or EF, ask you to explain some technological concepts (Design Patterns, for example), or have you evaluate/debug a code example. Things like data structures... I have never been asked about those. Most companies don't have the time or staff to execute and follow up on the extensive testing I heard about here. So whatever tests you get, it's of the variety they can quickly run through between lunch and their first toilet break, for example. There are exceptions, of course; some companies have 3 or 4 stages. However, that often costs them since it discourages people from applying for positions there. And those who apply tend to find something else before arriving in the final round.

4 min ad in 12 min video is peak capitalism!

Getting a high-paying tech job in a high-demand software engineering market is like being an investment expert during a market upswing.

Thank you, for sharing the interview resources. Keep sharing these kinds of resources. Subscribed.

Ive been out of the field for a minute and then got a interview scheduled two weeks ahead power day style and thought that would be plenty of time to prepare. I was so wrong lol. You really do need at least a month or more, especially for system design which was a first for me. And yea don’t go cheap on mock interviews, they’re expensive but worth it for the level of prep.

I'm not in CS major, but sometimes have coding interviews as well as hardware. You have very interesting approach for interview prep. Not just "do as much as you can leetcode". I like the idea of flash cards. What software are you using for this to transfer notes to flash cards? Also, like an idea of get fundamentals refreshed with other websites and courses. I'm also looking for a job currently, and have even some notes from previous interviews, but the notes are not so well organized. Really want to get it more organized.

Do you tailor your resume for every job application?

you got this Bukola!!

Thank you for sharing your job hunting approach. Wishing you the best of luck!

maybe you should've stayed in google, no?

lol @ 400k for a couple

I’m considering switching jobs. This video has set my expectations to send out tons of applications and wait for all the rejections T_T. One thing I didn’t expect was using websites from applying. For some reason, I imagined I would go directly to each company’s website to apply. I’ll probably do that, but I’m wondering how much it matters, if at all.

Holy shit 2.5k a month!

Technical interviews scare me so much that I don't even dare to apply for roles, but I really want to be a corporate girlie. I have a Master's degree in Software.

Good luck Girl, you are so inspiring ❤❤

At some point, spending 3-4-6 months on the interview process is unsustainable. And if an ex-Google employee is struggling what chance do the 99% have?

As a data analyst, I decided to leave the field, also because my last two employers were so toxic and it burned me out. Now I found a job at a publisher ❤ the pay is much less, but I know I'll get so much more peace in return.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I just got another offer for a mid level backend engineer. Currently on process of clearance . Good luck

im so glad you acknowledged how pretty recent it is that system design is a huge part of interviews now.... am around your age and got into a big tech company without doing that out of college and am job hunting again (also went thru a layoff). feels like everyone knows all these deep concepts already and i feel so behind mainly because i never had to learn them before. thanks for validating my emotions🥹 best of luck to you <3

Do you regret taking your sabbatical?

Thank you so much for these job hunt videos! I'm in the process myself after cost reduction lay offs and you expressing the difficulties of the job search and frustration around it is so comforting, its nice to know I'm not alone in this! I really hope and expect you'll land something very soon! Thanks for sharing your schedule, I'm going to try to stick to something similar!
