Hahah cool Day in the Life 🥳 I should follow your style

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching!

[@Thinguyen-yu8yf]

I believe that’s Leppington station, great video 🎉

[@BrandonSayasane]

Yes it is Leppington station. Thanks for watching

[@NanNan-mk4mc]

Omg I think we are living in the same suburb (Willowdale Leppington). I used to work at Ctown Council as a Civil Design Engineer and recently moved towards TfNSW for another Engineer's position. I need to take the train from Leppington Station to Parramatta, and we have the same routine lol. Good to see some great fellow lives nearby.

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. Yeah I do live in the Willowdale suburb as well. Train route is Leppington to Townhall. Very cool to be on the government side in engineerin.

[@timvu2567]

what a chill day! subscribed 👍

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching and the sub

[@GiuseppeBasile]

Cool vlog Brandon, we have similar work roles. I am a senior estimator for a building company here in Sydney. New sub, looking forward to more content.

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for the sub and for watching!

[@lorranbarroso3935]

Hello Brandon! I'm from Brazil and i found your channel right now and i liked so much! I have plans to move to Australia in 2 years and i work just the same of you with Autocad 2D! Here in Brazil i work with street signage with transit signs and horizontal painting. What is work like for those who work with Autocad in Australia? Is the salary satisfactory? Thanks for reading my comment! Sorry for my English, I'm still learning!

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching! Your english is fine. Salary can be satisfactory but depends on your experience and qualifications. Depending on your discipline you do when you come here, it can affect your salary. I find anything working on large Government projects the salary is better. But goodluck and all the best!

[@kei0531]

It looks good and originally comes from Okinawa, Japan. You should try to make Spam sandwich. It is made up with see weeds and rice, spam, egg. I bring them for lunch in my office.

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. I will have to give that a try sometime!

[@camzsayasane]

Haha funny video 😂 do another cooking vlog!

[@BrandonSayasane]

I will soon

[@dinhvuongdang6143]

Really enjoy your video! Can I ask what laptop do you use for engineering drafting? People recommend gaming laptops like Asus tuf or legion pro 5 to get more bang for buck. But you are not Do you have any tips? And how do you pick a laptop for autocad (2D and 3D) Thanks

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching! Yeah in regards to my laptop. This is a work provided one so I didnt have to pay for it. In regards to my work laptop specs it is a Dell Precision 7560 - 128GB RAM, i9-11950H Processor, Nvidia RTXA4000 and 1TB SSD. My suggestion is try to get a job as Apprentice or Cadet if your just starting out drafting so you can get all the equipment and training free. If you can't and need a personal laptop, I recommend a gaming laptop. I would recommend at least 32GB of RAM minimim 10th gen i7 processor or equivalent. Graphics card at least 6GB of memory so RTX 3060 or RTX4060. 3D requires higher specs but for 2D what I mention above is a good start. But generally out of all the companies I've worked at, a laptop is provided.

[@dinhvuongdang6143]

Thank you so much for your tips. Have a great day 👍👍

[@RadenSidhky]

Nice vlog buddy

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks 👍

[@TheMadDoctorArtShow]

Dude! Never buy single trip tix, they are more expensive! Instead tap your bank card if you end up again in a situation like thst. You'll get charged the same amount as an Opal card

[@BrandonSayasane]

I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

[@nanana8004]

How long have you been working in civil engineering? Can you make a vid about what your career progression was like please?

[@BrandonSayasane]

Hi there. Not sure what you would want covered particularly. But I started as an Apprentice Drafter. 3 years later became Civil Drafter and then after 6 years of total experience I am currently a Senior Drafter.

[@cappacinocappa]

@@BrandonSayasane What sort of studying did you have to do to get into this type of career path?

[@BrandonSayasane]

@@cappacinocappa I did a Diploma of Civil Construction design at TAFE. But if your interested, I cover these topics in this video. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6icnYKfpKtrl68

[@Theminnieminx8]

Mondays and Fridays are often WFH days for a lot of office workers

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. I actually like to go in on Fridays, more relaxed vibe in the office. Mondays is a definate WFH for me

[@MitchellBPYao]

I probably be making a lot of faces which will annoying people

[@MitchellBPYao]

Can you listen to music

[@BrandonSayasane]

Yeah can listen to music.

[@mediatechtube]

Hey great video. How do you film in the city though getting noticed, what kind of camera do you use?

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. Ha ha good question. Its a bit awkward to film in public to be honest, I still get a bit shy but trying to get used to it. For camera, I am just using my phone to film everything. I have a S23 ultra. For sound recording, I either use my Rode Wireless Mic II or just the phone audio.

[@jogoldcoaster2847]

Do your cats eat fresh food....my cats like prawns..roast chicken..fresh mince..cooked barramubdi..all in bite size cat size....but def not whiskas...other brand tins yes..

[@BrandonSayasane]

Fresh food would be a treat for them. Yeah we give them pieces of roast chicken when we also have. We dont eat to much seafood for our household. I think their favourite cat food brand is Fancy Feast. But they also eat the package tuna snack for cats, they luv that one. But their favourite treat is Churu puree. They always pur when they eat that one.

[@Nae395]

Love your cats

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching! Yes my cats are lovely.

[@lauraturner3889]

What do you sit your laptop on when you are at work same kinda charger?

[@BrandonSayasane]

At my work we have docking stations that connect our laptops to monitors / keyboards and as well as charge the laptop. (I dont use the provided keyboard or mouse). I just sit my laptop on the mouse pad. At home I have a cooling fan and a docking station as well.

[@kirtikashane7658]

Nice

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks

[@susanchitra9888]

Another way to get spam out from can : open both side of can and you just can push it out, from the other side or your way too, hahaha

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for the tip

[@wop130]

He’s cute 😍

[@MFWest]

Rando question, are you opposed to tapping your visa/credit card via your phone ?. Whats your reasoning for using an opal card ?

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. Well I honestly just forgot that you could do that.

[@edvanard]

I thought by now Revit is the standard in Australia?

[@BrandonSayasane]

Depends on what field you are in. For structural, revit is the main program used but for Civil its a combination of 12D and Openroads for design and AutoCAD mostly for drafting. Except for Victoria State which seem to use Microstation.

[@edvanard]

@@BrandonSayasane good to know and thanks for the info!

[@MultiAtari2600]

Ah yes the Zinger box, the staple of any australian diet.

[@BrandonSayasane]

Ha ha. Delicious but probably not the healthiest

[@miguelmartin963]

God damn that kfc looking nice, making ne hungry lol

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. Ha ha its delicious but not the healthiest of the lunches I usually get

[@Thepopularr]

Bythe way why most people said australia life is so stress and depration is it true ??

[@BrandonSayasane]

I think it really depends on your income level. But overall things have definitely gotten more expensive, for example my mortgage has increased by 40% and it has definitely hurt out savings. In regards to work, I think we have a good working culture which is quite laid back.

[@jjkanal640]

Very true, but depends where you live. The most stressful would be Sydney and Melbourne. Perth, Canberra and Queensland is usually more laid back. Work life can be bad in Australia, from my experience 95% of companies have terrible work environment and conditions but if you're lucky then that won't be the case (depends the industry also).

[@Thepopularr]

@@BrandonSayasane oh realy what a do

[@BrandonSayasane]

@@Thepopularr for me personally as a drafter work life has its high and lows but mostly positive. For general living, definately feeling the cost of living pressures.

[@Thepopularr]

@@BrandonSayasane oh great and bytheway currently studens visa people mainly ( diploma ) not easy getting PR know i thing new rules and ponits also changed

[@azjad412]

OMG i miss sydney so much

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching

[@azjad412]

Does town hall station still have those wooden escalators?

[@Theminnieminx8]

@@azjad412no, all escalators are modernized at Town Hall ans Wynyard

[@BrandonSayasane]

@@azjad412 nope. Like the @Theminnieminx8 said its all modernised now. I would say Wynyard station is even nicer than Townhall. Especially the Barangaroo walkway.

[@azjad412]

@@BrandonSayasane i really miss the smell of townhall towards QVB.

[@susanchitra9888]

Speaking about spam, I just got 2 packs from my next door which I already refused to take, well, 2 packs are 8 cans, imagine and I don't eat spam often, oh believe me , if you need anything just go to next door she and her son pile food unlike any other, 99% from costco, hahaha

[@BrandonSayasane]

You can use spam for so many dishes though. But thats pretty good to have a friendly neighbour. Yeah costco bulk buys can be dangerous lol

[@sukari]

why not just tap with your credit/debit card?

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. But to be honest I completely forgot that you could do that lol

[@jaquiebrazel7489]

my son wants to be an engering

[@BrandonSayasane]

I think it can be a good job and a lot of career prospects.

[@cba8351]

Any job opportunities in your office? 😅

[@BrandonSayasane]

Thanks for watching. I think we are hiring but obvsly depends on the role and experience etc. But none for my role.

[@jaydenyoung3873]

Sorry but your food seems simple. KFC is not a good choice, only fast food.

[@BrandonSayasane]

Yeah its probably not the healthiest but it does taste good to me. But I do have other food for lunch like in my other video. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXbZoImVeq2Hnas
