it's just sad to see him like this..the job definitely takes a toll on the body

[@arvindjaiswal8013]

@@sandipansaha1296, well, it only happens when you either don't like your job or you're around the most mindful people and feel the competition so much that you end up taking a toll on the body only to be in the race. It is both good and bad. Bad because you are deteriorating your body slowly, and good because that is the best time to learn from the best people around.

[@kunal6496]

Yes hair loss is definitely due to high stress environment which also triggers the genetic factor

1. Expectation vs Reality you want to joined to build cool products. But NOT! you do meeting, planning, understanding structure. etc Coding is easiest part of job. • your projects for millions of people's • 00000000.1 work you have do. 2. constant learning tech skills • learn unknown technologies you haven't worked. • learning is never stop. • you have to solved errors which is not present into internet. 3. imposter syndrome ( you feel you are not belong here ) peoples are smart. you should take care your health. 4. culture and work culture - deadline ( miss ) - PIP culture - 2 or 3 mouths you wouldn't do, leave it.

As compared to other fields in India, salaries in IT are very good if you have technical skills + communication. Also the work culture is very good as compared to non IT jobs. Off course bad managers are everywhere, but with lakhs of companies, you have options to switch atleast.

[@kushagraahire1871]

One of the most darkest point I want to highlight is when you are not able to solve the bug in the given deadline then you have to work on weekend. You will be working for 5 days and then 2 days on weekends and after that again 5 days, it will cause burnout. You will not get enough time to spend your salary and relax.

[@Cylinderstruck]

Not true. You can discuss with your manager or higher management if you're unable to work. If it's a toxic workplace then it's otherwise.

[@M10GOAT997]

my senior is working in mnc for 12 years and he almost never worked on sat or sunday. It is only possible in small companies and startups

[@shivamhw]

I work in one of the most chill company when it comes to work life balance but still face this issue. It is expected that if you find a issue on Friday it would be solved by Monday. Also i think even if i am not forced by someone to work on weekends, i would have that issue in back of my mind for all weekend and it does create mental fatigue.

[@ShahbazKhan-wm6es]

So , true! Even companies famous for relaxed work culture are doing it internally. I am in TCS , and it's happening to me. I have been working all 7 days since march even with no extra pay

[@DarkShadow00972]

Which company brother?​@@shivamhw

[@niranjanbhosale5101]

This video is so accurate that I cannot express it in words, each and every detail explained so calmly and perfectly and every point is relatable to me. People in this era miss out on these aspects of a job and simply want to "code" and get the perks but as explained that's not the full picture and in doing so they also miss out on one big thing that is Engineering. The fun and the frustration of solving a problem, the art of designing a solution (maybe cumbersome or innovative) is reducing by the moment. I wish we all realise this soon. Keep growing brother ❤

[@ankansharma4897]

I have nearly 4 yrs of exp. Truth is we get money but its miserable. The amount of stress, anxiety is unbearable. I am saving aggressively so that I can retire as fast as I can.

[@sumeght1878]

So glad that despite making so many courses he is coming out with this level of honesty and explaining it to people upfront. I agree with each and everything that he has said. Its certain that you'd get a good package, some benefits, gifts, etc but everything comes with a price, you pay with extra time, sleep-sacrifice and sometimes with your weekends too..

[@Kompass14]

Your this video just made me cry that it was so accurately said about each and every aspect about the software engineering and how is the actually the life of engineers who are working. I strongly agree when you said sometimes you think you don’t belong here, your effort doesn't seem to others, but yes these facts that you shared in the video are so accurate. But no worries, that’s what we have chosen so it comes with some perks but yes we have to give something about it as well.

[@sanskarmittal4852]

Absolutely true. Every point is spot on. Newcomers or those planning to pursue IT for the attractive perks should also take these into account.

[@tarushchandra8993]

The origin of the dark side is only due to the high expectations and deadlines, otherwise software engineering is a beautiful domain I think the meetings wala point is still not the worst, we still get to talk about the "geeky stuff", software design and architecture because anyways we need planning before actual coding.

[@richathakur5848]
