[ep10] MY LAST VLOG: how I ended up in Dublin | A Day In The Life as a Software Engineer

This is video number 10 in the vlog series and I’m taking a break after this. In this video, I’m showing you my 24 hours in Dublin after my plane had to do an emergency landing (I was supposed to go back to NYC from London). Did that make me angry? No, but I learned something better.

ABOUT ME
🙋‍♀️ I’m Maria, an Engineering Manager at a big tech company and I’ve been coding since I was 13 years old. I love working in tech because building new things and being creative is something that makes me really happy. While on this journey, I realized how lots of questions I receive in 1:1s get repeated a lot so I decided to upload short and simple Q&A videos on TikTok which grew to a small amount of followers. For some questions, I wanted to dive deeper with longer answers which is how this channel started. Thanks for being here - my goal is to help some people out and make their lives at tech jobs more effective.

Amazing video, sad to know it’s the end of the vlog series. Also at 3:59, it’s a painting of people walking in the rain. You could see the umbrellas and bridge. Can’t wait to see what new content you will show us. ❤

[@techmentormaria]

Thanks for that!

Vorneweg: ich liiiiiebe deine Videos und ich bin absolut bei dir, wenn es um das Thema "positives Mindset" geht und das man für sich selbst viel mehr aus eine besch*** Situation ziehen kann, wenn man mit einem anderen, positivieren Blickwinkel drauf sieht. Trotzdem gibt es Menschen die so viel durchmachen, dass ein positives Denken manchmal fehlt und ich finde das man sowas nicht vergessen darf. Aus schwierigen Situationen etwas Positives zu ziehen ist ein Privileg und das sollte man nie vergessen.

I’m so happy you loved our beautiful city , come back again you’ll always be welcome here 😊

[@AK-Star007]

Looks like with that detour, you had a blast in Dublin, stay happy.

[@ThorstenMerz]

Great video; I hear echoes of Marcus Aurelius in what you say. A shame they don't teach this sort of thing in school, I'm sure we would all have a more pleasant existence if such thinking were more widely adopted. Oh, and I can relate to the taxi drivers surprise. 🙂

[@DnKZone]

The title's "A Day In The Life as a Software Engineer" this part is bit misleading.

Love your videos, Maria! Question from a fellow German: When you interviewed at tech companies in the US, what kind of visa did you have? I know that german citizens can enter the US visa-free, but would I be allowed to conduct job interviews without a visa? ps: You are a very inspiring person! So inspiring that in fact, I want to get into tech (even though I'm majoring in physics). Keep the videos coming, they're super interesting! All the best Fabian

[@halilintaritang]

[@snakepler]

You have the great mentality and I think that's some of the reasons that you are where you are (being successful and happy at a really young age). I always try to be kind to everyone, everyday, we can help strangers by giving them a smile

[@nuamanshabir6122]

Great video, as always with some great positive thoughts and vibes....

[@rickbarrington]

Nice. Sounds like you had the perfect unplanned layover

[@ZaraSilver]

I loved this video

[@aminesouilah4015]

Positive thoughts is the only way to move forward to whatever you want to achieve.

[@techmentormaria]

That’s what I’m thinking too ✨
