Why I Quit My $100,000+ Software Engineering Job…

[@ZelenoJabko]

Sorry to say, but you are an oofy doofy

[@psnat7198]

@AmanManzir You definitely seem to be passionate and meant to be a Content Creator. Would it help for you to have a SW engineering project that you work on at your own pace for something you care about, not working for anyone or to make it a successful business. Because your business is the content creation and podcast, but this can be like the relaxing thing you do when u need a break (like u say in one of your videos how you switched from gaming to coding). Otherwise as time passes those coding skills will fade months will soon become years

[@NaumanShahid91]

A C++ logo pops up at 0:58 when you mention "C#" 😉

[@tiagovallejo]

that was when i stopped watching, cannot take the dude seriously after that

[@fallencheeto4762]

Best of luck man, always respect ppl chasing their dreams!

[@simrithranjan6442]

Dude, the alchemist is really good, when I read it, I also had the realization that my phone, largely social media platforms, were taking over parts of my life that could be used for my passion to learn computer science and family time! Good luck, you got this!

[@sa-hq8jk]

i love the alchemist

[@mohammadaliikrammirza8600]

Actually it is

[@mangafoxkingvb9991]

Congrats bro on taking a chance on yourself! Great vid btw, motivated me to think of my goals too!

[@geraIdaddey]

Inspiring. Funny enough it's the other way around for me. Best of luck in your journey!

[@andypanfu]

Hi Aman, As I was getting ready to join our meeting for today, I saw that you published a new video and decided to give it a check. The way you feel about Ali Abdaal is the same way I feel towards you. I really respect you and have a great appreciation for the work you do and the talent you have. I wish you the best in this journey. I can see the passion you have for making content, and even though I am no one relevant, I can tell your channel is going to grow a lot soon. I am happy to be in some form part of this journey. You are truly an inspiration for us future software engineers. Thank you for being awesome.

[@AmanManazir]

Thanks for your comment! Looking forward to speaking 😃

[@janejihyunlee1]

It’s always crazy to watch KZbinrs grow. I think your insights were on point. My intuition tells me you’re definitely going to make it big, it won’t be easy but you’ve gained a new supporter, excited to see your channel grow, wishing you the best of luck. 🎉

[@AnxKhn]

Well, that's not the logo of C# my friend

[@AmanManazir]

Quick slip up there 🙂

[@rkumarv]

@@AmanManazir same thing happened in my video with java logo 😂

[@faridarahman2659]

loved this!! love the growth

[@neophilus9821]

i think you should commit to youtube for the next 1-2 years as you said. KZbin suggested your “Computer science is not software engineering” video to me, and i clicked because i genuinely thought theyre similar and im entering college next month (my first year of college) as a computer scientist. I was shocked by the values you were putting in the videos - with your general knowledge. Thats when i immediately subscribed and started looking forward to making more research about my career as well as watch your informative videos. My point is that im certainly not alone in this new route. Youll definitely attract more newbies to your channel. Good luck

[@heyyernie]

Inspiring! I'll cheer you on!

[@getknowledge540]

best of luck bro

[@browntechdaddy]

Inspiring man. Hope to follow in your footsteps one day.

[@JamieJots]

Congrats Aman! you def have 100k by next March. excited to see where your journey goes

[@Towla]

Great story. I respect your choice. I've also read two of the three books you read during your tech detox. Best of luck to you in all of your future endeavors.

[@mattrusnak]

Your storytelling is getting so fkn good. This video inspired me to get back into KZbin. Best of luck on your journey Aman 🤙

[@AmanManazir]

Thanks man, looking forward to your videos! 💪🔥

[@LostinMango]

Every video changes this guys life now your gonna start selling courses which is easy than solving daily programming company problems stop this my passion BS just say this i wanna make quick easy bucks.

[@jacobmccredie6525]

Best of luck bro! With the quality of your videos, your goal is totally achievable! I’ve been listening to the book you recommended and it has been very eye-opening so far

[@This18_]

Aman this is very inspirational as someone who wants to be a full time youtuber and also juggling school. Good luck!

[@Kyle10549]

This is incredibly inspiring man! Also, love the storytelling

[@sliceofkaby2403]

are we not ganna talk about how he said made a course on c# and pulled up a picture of c++, 0:55

[@mecanuktutorials6476]

Let’s talk. That looked intentional to me. Probably to trigger people to comment.

[@dabocousin]

Whatever you do, I know its gonna be great!

[@YudiJ]

Thank you for this video! I am a PTYA student and heard your questions there. I am in the same boat as you are, may be we can connect and help each other in this journey?

[@siddarthseloth6250]

One of your best videos, it showed me determination for something you truly believe in, thank you for great content over the years :)

[@dinakanwamu5676]

Good luck in everything you do. You'll do great.

[@luhgeezy5062]

It only gets better from here. Wishing you the very best !

[@AmanManazir]

Thank you!

[@hayderhammad]

Bro you got this. Im definitely gonna do the same thing as you soon

[@abdullahahmad184]

Thank you for making this video I just quit a toxic job today that needed us working and thinking 24/7. Very apt timing 😊

[@najim17270]

Do u mind telling ur job role at that company

[@8BitGamerYT1]

If u want such jobs to vanish...then share their name and role We need peace man

[@calebwalters1151]

Ready to see this channel go to the moon. You got it!

[@iftak01]

Nice story bro...good what you did, hope it pays off! Showing support brown boys

[@kotk05]

"OmG brown pride!"

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Awesome Bro 👌. Loved this decision and proud of you 👏. I too felt long time back , you are so talented and something big you need to achieve in your life than "Software engineering". You are immensely talented in below - having a engaging speaking with confidence - the way you explain concept and talks to audience. Its mind blowing. - Also you are very young. Right decision according to me at the right time and All the best for your future 😊

[@AmanManazir]

Thank you for the kind words! Means a lot 🚀

[@RonakSheth-fm9ic]

Subscribed to you - i know what its like chasing a dream and failing continuously. Good luck Aman!

[@hasnainbhojani4862]

I m so glad that we will have another great KZbinr SWE!!!

[@LookingAway359]

I heard you say hundreds of thousands of subscribers and was like "what?" And had to go check your sub count. I could have sworn you had multiple 100ks of subs. Crazy, your videos are so good. You might have said this, but are you staying in the software niche or are you changing things up?

[@AmanManazir]

Will be staying in software for now but may throw in some other stuff - open to suggestions! Thanks for watching.

[@vickashing]

Looking forward to your Journey, I hope your channel grow over the years

[@glennjammin]

loved your story, just subscribed. best of luck to you bro, from a fellow 2023 grad

Goodluck man

Good luck brother i wanna see you win dude

[@jenseballenilla2566]

Great video. hope everone watching this video start supporting you.

[@abdullahnaim10]

Doing a swe podcast with other high level swe would be great content for this audience

[@rafay_syed]

I just wanted to say...your editing has improved tremendously. It reminds me of how Ali Abdaal's videos are edited.

[@AmanManazir]

He's my major inspiration! Thanks!

[@rafay_syed]

@@AmanManazir And good luck with the future of your KZbin channel! I'm really excited to see where this takes off. It's a huge blessing to also have that safety net from your parents. I'm glad that your family is supporting your journey and at some point, you'll be at a million before you know it :D

[@nagomii]

best of luck bro, your videos clearly getting better.

[@sungmin556]

I liked the honest thinking process. I'm in the simliart situation, although it is not youtube. I feel like Im gonna hit that mark where "Okay this is it" but we'll see.

[@adityaarolkar1867]

Courageous move on your part Aman, proud of you and wish you the best. I first found you through your interview with your bro which was a really interesting listen. Curious to hear how you think you'll continue to relate to your audience of software engineers when you are not actively working in the industry? Do you think your content may change over time?

[@Ohiostategenerationx]

Without having a bunch of money saved up it was a bad idea to quit the job. KZbin is a hard business and they have also canceled people on a whim. So it's just asking to be able to fail.

[@raheem81kg]

Let's go, here to support

[@TrainWithPraveen]

All the best, Aman. Im sure you will hit your target and achieve all your dreams. Keep going :)

[@kevinfraser7869]

Maybe use an A.I avatar for a tube/podcast side Hussle, just to land softly.

[@kazakman7772]

Do not fall into it. If u wanna be a software engineer just be it. Do not listen to anybody

[@Anapdc99]

This video does not have enough likes! I read the alchemist and thought the same, I stepped out of where I was, I was comfortable but there was soo much I wanted to experience, I knew I needed to challenge myself even if that meant to everybody else I was "stepping backwards". Life is too short to leave on auto pilot. It's totally ok to drop out of school, work, family and friends so u can explore where your ambitions can take you. :)

[@arishmorani2260]

Yo amazing videos keep it up man. Can you make a video going over different comp sci career paths. I'm a senior in hs about to graduate and was thinking to become a SWE but in the last few weeks have been changing my mind. I was thinking something like ai/ml (yes I know its hard and a lot of work). Anyway great video dude keep it up.

[@challengeyourmind3937]

Bro Gary Vee has been exposed as a scammer. The rest of the names you mentioned are great but I would steer clear of this guy.

[@jacobmorres9817]

You need to be able to differtiate the good and bad parts of people's advice. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water as they say

[@orlovskyconsulting]

Thats interesting , high effective people getting out of the job. I sub because you are interesting and i must known how it ends.

[@levelup2014]

Dam this your videos have been banging as of late defiantly earned a new sub

Dude, congrats on taking this important step for your life. But sadly your math is wrong... And as a smart guy that you are, you shou've already known that. You're gonna achieve 100k subs much sooner than march 25th Keep it up ma man 🙌

Of topic but skin care routine ?

i discovered your channel yesterday when i saw your video about leetcode .... man just can do it there is no other option just keep going

[@EcomCarl]

👏 What an inspiring journey! It's incredible to see how you embraced self-improvement and entrepreneurship while juggling a full-time job. Quitting to pursue KZbin full-time is a bold move that paid off - a testament to the power of dedication and strategic growth. Keep shining, and congratulations on reaching over 1 million subscribers! 🚀🎉

[@hulokt3631]

Hey, my name is khaled. i wanna say that i always didnt fit in anything and never had a hobby that I really enjoyed. Until I found your channel, you really inspired me and I started learning coding and watch informative video as a 15 year old in grade 10. I also started dual enrollment at a community college and I am determined get an AA then go to a university to get a Bachelors degree in CS. I hope that one day when I graduate, I will be able to find you and tell you that you are the reason I started!! One day we might even work together.

[@Abdul-tl4ct]

Great video, you just earned a sub!

[@robertmazurowski5974]

For me software engineering is amazing, although stressful and requires a lot of commitment outside of work. For me video editing is boring, and I can't talk in an interesting way. I would rather program. However I hate corporate environments, and I don't want the 9 to 5 lifestyle. So I am a startup programmer/freelancer in web3.

[@The.Harsh.Truths]

No Aman. The Shepard can go back to his job, but a software engineer will struggle to go back if he has a huge gap in his resume where he didn’t stay active and up to date as a dev. It is a high paying and competitive industry and the applicants who get the job, don’t take breaks.

I wish you the best, but subscribers don't mean much. Your average view count does. I have been watching your videos for weeks and still haven't subbed. I watch what pops up on my suggestion page.

Good point - in my mind, subscribers is just a solid metric for growth of the channel. Thank you for watching!!
