A Day In The Life Of a FAANG Software Engineer

[@RyanNgFilms]

What a unique spin on a day in a life of a software engineer. Spent some time today watching other videos that are similar and none comes close to the quality that this has. Love it Rahil!!!!!!

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks Ryan always for the continued support and help.

Ahh we just came to your channel from Matt's Slack community to check out your work and this is QUALITY content man!! Love your b-roll, super clean shots!! Keep up the great work 💛

[@rahilatre8203]

Thank you guys, I saw your channel and your story was really interesting and I think your stuff is really creative, Best of luck!

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks for showing us into your day! I used to be an engineer, and this took me back :)

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks for watching Eunice, hopefully it brought some positive memories.

[@HenokTech]

Amazing video man! completely different from what other Tech channels are like which will help you stand out. This is if Matt D'avella was a Software Engineer kinda vibe!

[@rahilatre8203]

Hey man thanks for checking the video out, Im also a fan of Matt so glad it has a similar vibe to it lol. Best of luck with your channel man!

[@HenokTech]

@@rahilatre8203 Thank you!!

[@DerekBearzi]

Awesome vid Rahil! Even though I don't know anything about software engineering, I found your video very interesting to watch. Its kinda cool seeing how other people live their day to day lives. Especially since I no longer work in front of a computer anymore, and spend all my time at work in a truck! Haha. Keep doing your thing man and Happy New Year!

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks Derek man for the continued support and as well always leaving a thoughtful comment. Im glad it was somewhat interesting cause I honestly think my day is pretty mundane lol. Happy New Year to you as well and best of luck with your channel I think your doing a great job man.

[@thepulkitsood]

Amazing video @Rahil !! thats what i do everyday except running and i play pool table tennis instead of guitar.

[@rahilatre8203]

Thank you Pulkit and definitely love pool and table tennis as well!

[@segunolowookere5801]

Enjoyed your video, very informative, something a lot of other videos out there dont provide. Am currently a mechanical engineering student polishing my frontend software dev skill set, I would really appreciate it if you could make more videos like this, talking about what I should expect in a tech company. Thank you

[@rahilatre8203]

Thank you Segun for watching man really appreciate it. Really cool that your studying mechanical engineering and also learning some frontend, best of luck in school!

[@rahulraman9956]

Dude the production quality of your videos are insane! Keep it up!! (also I agree chai > coffee haha)

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks Rahul, really appreciate you checking the video out man. Glad to see another fellow tea lover lol.

[@JashimJalal]

It's just a job and not my life or identity. BOOM!

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks Jashim for watching man really appreciate it

[@jay6895]

big thumbs up sir!

[@rift9106]

Nice vid! Which FAANG company do you work for?

[@Akash-bd5hy]

Good job on video editing, Loved it.. Subscribed!

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks Akash, I really appreciate it

[@NateKillian]

Great work dude, finally got around to checking this out. Love playing smash to decompress 👏🏼😤. What do you shoot with by the way?

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks Nate for watching really appreciate it! I shoot with two cameras a Canon EOS 800D and a Fujifilm X-T3.

[@RyanFila]

Yoo Rahil! I found you from Nathaniel Drew's Channel. 😂 "It's 9:00AM Get the Fuck Up" Haha that was mint! I appreciate the insight here into what it really looks like. Plus the workspace is necessary for sure 🙌 You gotta be able to change environments to change mindsets. That change makes a huge difference. Keep creating my friend! 😤 As for me (My name’s Ryan!) I started creating content on KZbin to help people live more meaningful lives. It really makes me sad to see people reflect on life and realize they could’ve done much more with the time they were blessed with! Watching others is one way we learn, so my goal is to be an example for others who need guidance on travel, self-development, and love in action! ❤️ Much love! 🤓 Keep chasing your dream and bringing value to your audience! 🙌🏼

[@rahilatre8203]

Hey Ryan, thanks man for the kind words I really appreciate it, also how did you find me from Nathaniel Drew? I checked out your channel and you're a great speaker man, hopefully, more people checkout your videos. Best of luck with your goal!

[@RyanFila]

@@rahilatre8203 Thanks for the positive words mate! I found you in his comments if I remember correctly.

[@russd831]

Very informative!! Thanks for sharing

[@rahilatre8203]

My pleasure man

[@kataiho4405]

Hi Rahil, I found you from your comment on my channel! Awesome video! The production quality is on par with Matt D'Avella 👌 You gotta give me some tips haha. I also don't drink coffee in the morning. I'm not sure why it seems to be a stereotype that all software engineers are addicted to it. Looking forward to your next video :)

[@rahilatre8203]

Hey Ka, thanks man for checking the video out, and yea man I'm still trying to get better with my camera but let me know if you were looking for specific tips lol. You definitely have good storytelling and as well as informative videos on your channel, hope it continues to grow man.

[@rahilatre8203]

thank you for leaving a kind comment, I actually am really glad you enjoy the voiceovers since they do take time and I still feel like i can improve in it. Hope you have a great day!

Nice video Rahil. How’d you get Alexa to do that?

[@rahilatre8203]

Thanks Matt, check out alexa skills

[@sanskarkaazi3830]

Bro does not have those fancy 2 thousand dollar chair that most SWE use and neither does he use airpods for meetings... I have to say.. I am amazed!!

[@rahilatre8203]

Lol thanks man, im more of a over the ear headphone kinda guy

[@DavideMerlin]

Will I get into FAANG if I follow this routine? Good job as always man

[@rahilatre8203]

Lol thanks for watching man, but you'll have to buy my shady tech interview course in order to find out.

[@imherelul]

Nice cinematic, what camera gear do you use?

[@rahilatre8203]

Thank you, I use two cameras, The Canon EOS 800D as well as the Fujifilm XT-3.

[@justinlam5565]

What do you do from 8-10 am if you wake up early? Just start the work day early?

[@rahilatre8203]

Hey Justin thanks for checking the video out, I usually jot down my thoughts in a journal to plan out future things I would like to work on.

[@vangrabner7826]

Thanks for the video Rahil, and especially for talking about the actual work you do rather than just the food you eat everyday. I am a highschool CS student, I have a tech company offering me a job straight out of highschool (i.e. instead of going to college and getting a CS degree), but I have doubts about whether a top tech company would hire me in the future with out a degree. If my end goal is to end up with a job like yours, what's more valuable: a degree, or four extra years of work experience?

[@rahilatre8203]

Hey Van, thanks for watching the video and congrats on getting a job right out of highschool. The decision to go to college is very personal and is based on your current financial situation, the other interests you have outside of tech, and how much of the social experiences of going to college matter to you. From what I have seen from FAANG companies it seems that most of them require a degree in a STEM related field, (however there are anomalies where some people are able to get in without a degree or with a degree in an unrelated field). Having a degree in CS for example is only one step, and I do agree that work experience is incredibly important. The safest option would be to go college, and while in school trying to do relevant internships that hopefully set you up with a full time job. Hope this helps

[@MoementumFinance]

Very cool 😊 Are you a software engineer for all of those major tech companies?

[@rahilatre8203]

Thank you man for watching, and I am a software engineer at one of these companies

[@AdamWong]

Yooooo he snapped

[@rahilatre8203]

Lol thanks Adam

[@adityapatel9735]

Copying, I mean referring to stackoverflow. Yeah bro 🤣🤣🤣

[@pranav4592]

Great video, down to earth. I'm curious how you become a FAANG engineer. What university did you go to?

[@rahilatre8203]

Thank you Pranav I really appreciate that, I was fortunate enough to get work experience in the form of internships, which really helped me in the job application process.

[@sadatsummit130]

Great vdo man❤️

[@rahilatre8203]

Thank you Sadat

[@im.dietrich]

what's been the biggest challenge of remote work for you? mine has been feeling motivated

[@rahilatre8203]

I think the hardest part is connecting with my team on other things than just work.

[@hammadiqbal8699]

That dreadful Alexa morning alarm, great way to start the video

[@peterlk3276]

Now let's see "A day in the life of a Software Engineer With a 5-year-old" I bet you things are a bit more chaotic. I wonder what music you would use for that???

Hey Derek, im doing good man and hope your doing well. Honestly I'm not too sure when the next vid will drop, ideally trying to aim for something in Feb.
