DARKER SIDE of SOFTWARE ENGINEERING !!

Having 8 years of experience in the industry, I can feel what he may be going through. He's losing hairs. He used to have good hairs in his DSA videos. And of course, the dark circles also cannot be unseen.

[@sandipansaha1296]

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

[@Sane-n2s]

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.

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

These are the reasons why some people quit jobs and sell courses , because sde is not a cup of tea.

Selling courses multiply digital copies and earn lakhs , Good plan by youtubers.

[@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 ❤

[@souradeepchowdhury667]

Can't be more perfectly spoken. Someone has to take up and talk about these points. Glad that you spoke on these.

[@kushalpatil5494]

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.

[@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..

Couldn't agree more. Just thinking out loud: It's strange that earlier people used to complain that jobs are monotonous, same and boring. But now it's the other way around, tech is evolving and you get to hop on to new things, but people are complaining about it. What's your take guys?

Constant pressure to increase the velocity/speed of coding Made to feel in wrong place (impostor syndrome) And finally after lot of health loss, stress, may get laid off for excess hiring mistake done by company.
