I'm skeptical about their honesty. I think most of them are afraid that one of their colleagues or their boss will see the video, so it's better to say you like your job otherwise you risk running into troubles.

[@logicalfallacydetector5196]

And yet Apple, Google Facebook etc still laid off 10000+ employees that “LOVED” their jobs! Fuck em

[@TesterAnimal1]

Yep. You have to be “passionate”. You can’t be cynical and burned out.

[@Balloonbot]

Is it really that impossible to enjoy your job? I don't think so - I work in video games, and there's plenty of natural enthusiasm from at least some people. Others are mostly neutral.

[@kamilamukailova872]

It’s not so much as the ability to do it, it’s either am I producing something that is interesting.

[@Joe99]

The guy who said like but not love is pretty accurate. There's always bs you have to deal with wherever you work. Hopefully overall the pros just outweigh the cons. And at the end of the day you're just doing it to earn a living and survive.

I currently work as a software engineer at a large bank (one of the big 4 banks). I f**king hate it so much. When I was in college, I was so excited to graduate and get a job. Now I realize what I really liked about coding was just building my own stuff.

[@noornasri5753]

Nothing is worth your health man. If they're overworking you, make a change so you can appreciate the smaller things. I know it's not always feasible but you need to be the one forcing yourself to make a change, or it will never happen.

[@jcdenton7914]

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.

[@Nick-kb2jc]

@@AndrewPribadi Hey man, thanks. I'm currently working on computer graphics related side projects in my spare time. The dream was always to be a graphics programmer in the games industry, but it is very difficult to land a job there. I already know my salary working on games would likely be much lower than what I'm making now, but honestly, I don't care. I just want to enjoy the work I'm doing and be excited to do it.

[@Nick-kb2jc]

@@noornasri5753 Hey, thanks for your comment. It's not that I'm overworked. I actually have a very flexible schedule and working from home makes it even better. It's the day-to-day work that I actually do and the corporate environment that I really dislike. Hate was probably too strong of a word for me to have used in my original post. I'm just naturally drawn to more creative kinds of work.

[@WhenItsHalfPastFive]

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.

[@lotleo987]

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.

[@theendurance]

...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.

[@cezary.stanislawski]

[@LazerLemonz]

I loved this. Currently I’m at my first internship as a software engineer and I won’t lie, transitioning from college to real world application is rough af. You go from really only learning basics and theory and then you get thrown to the wolves where you have to learn a new code base and start really applying yourself and start learning by yourself in your free time. It’s hard work but so fulfilling and fun when it all works!

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.

[@austins.219]

Anyone with any job can be sad or depressed about it. Do you think its fun laying asphalt or being a plumber? Jobs suck, but at least in software, you get to sit down and build things without having to cater to people all day or whatever else people do.

[@mariapaz6379]

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.

[@boopyournose5698]

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 have 7 years experience. the job, ehhh....not passionate. but my side projects I LOVE. mobile apps and game dev. my job teaches me new and interesting ways to spice up my code on my projects. my job is basically for income and living. i work so i can have fun. i DO NOT mix work and my passion.

I'm a Software Developer (for a bank) I don't like my job, I just do it for the money... and to pay the bills... and to be financially secure. I don't see nothing wrong with that, others do worse jobs and are paid way less. Just being honest here.

Most of the people here aren’t honest, because they think that their boss or one of their colleagues will watch the video which could really impact their careers.

Shoutouts to the last one, the only person I can actually understand although I assume everyone else thought about the implications of their answer if their employer were to see it As a software engineer I haven't found a single company whose values/goals are aligned with mine in the slightest The work you want to do is either an exploitative mess full of terrible people (aka the vg industry) or just doesn't allow you to survive (aka actual useful social work that applies to anyone) Meanwhile, tons of giant companies employ half the world by subcontracting in the scamiest way possible to save money, and take decades to deliver the simplest change just to raise their profit margin by like 3% And then the only person who gets rewarded is the CEO Yeah, fuck that, I don't hate >my< job, I hate the concept of jobs and working in general, whenever u guys ready call me for revolution, I'll either be on the verge of scd or gone from the world lmao

I think the number of people in the tech industry that do not love their job is very small. Most of the time they don't like the projects they are working on or the tech. Many people complain they don't make this and that amount of money and I tell them to try to work as a bagger at Publix, Walmart maybe Home Depot! 🤣

@@MiguelGebremedhin even when you factor that in they still make loads of money to the point they shouldn’t be looking for more pay and should be looking for cheaper housing, because outside of that cost everything cost around the same in terms of a car, food, and all the online shopping people do

@@MiguelGebremedhin i knew a girl getting paid 50k a year as a geologist who lived in SF. Had 6 roommates and one bathroom for all of them, basically lived out of her car half the time given she spent so much time in the field. yeah it's expensive but people are also just greedy. understandable i suppose but somewhat revolting knowing how many have so little and are actually grateful for it.
