Thank you! I appreciate it :)

Microsoft is the worst place to work

[@josemedeiros007]

I didn't know that entry level software developers were paid so much at those high tech companies, and were given stock outright, when I worked in high tech for Intel, IBM, Cisco Systems, LSI Logic , Mirapoint and FlowWise Networks as a Server Systems and Storage administrator we only got stock options.

[@mechamicro]

Oh well

[@Vivek02255]

Good to see you again Man! :)

[@browntechdaddy]

Good to be back :)

[@randomfellow1483]

Man. I’m in high school rn and will most likely finish college by 2030. I want to pursue Software engineering but idk if I’ll be able to get a job by then cuz the job market rn is already pretty bad, by the next 6 years Ai would’ve evolved so much that only the strong software engineers will remain most likely working together with Ai. I suppose I need to learn extra things and advance more than the average person my age right now who also wants to become a SWE so I’ll be able to get hired much more easily.

I am studying computer science and I am in my second year. If you can help me and tell me what I should study and work hard to be suitable for working in any of the big companies like Microsoft, Google, etc., knowing that I will finish college in two years, please help me because I am very hesitant.

Great video. Thanks for doing all that work. I'm really looking forward to other videos. Question: What is the work-life balance like in other companies? I know you mentioned MC, but how about the others?

[@browntechdaddy]

Thanks! From what I've heard/seen, it seems work-life balance is the following: Google: Good Apple: Mediocre Meta: Needs Improvement But this is based on subjective anecdotes, I can do more research and make a video about this. It also is very team-dependent at each company.

[@twanadler9]

Is it harder to get a job in google or meta compared to microsoft ?

[@browntechdaddy]

Honestly don’t know, I think it depends on the team for each company since all these companies are massive

[@anujithas5753]

Bro which college u studied..

[@BlogipsE]

Is it worth becoming a Java software engineer for the future due to the development of AI and most automation? Or should I still choose machine learning or working with data? But I just like the software field more than ML.

[@wschino5540]

Yes but not for the long run it’s competitive so save up while your there and invest into a construction trade business to have Infiniti income using knowledge and business skills
