I was literally about to start searching for how to find development jobs and then I got a notification for this video. Thank you so much Mayuko!

[@esa2236]

No really be appreciative. I also followed this path hardcore from similar people. Makes you realize all the bullshit you stopped doing several years into the field.

[@bird5119]

Thanks for laying out these tips in a simple easy-to-digest manner! Sure there probably details I am too paranoid about that can't be addressed in 10 minutes, but this is great for letting me know the main concepts and where to start learning about this!

[@girlanonymous]

Thank you for touching on referrals! I’ve asked former bosses and group leads I’ve worked with for referrals and I usually make sure they are in management-type roles too. My referrals have gotten me call backs, phone and in-person (Zoom call) interviews. Referrals are just as important as the resume and cover letter.

[@radiodragon76]

I am applying for jobs and this exactly what I needed to look for it in a good way. Thank you Mayuko

[@moniquenavarro4131]

How great!! I feel less lost now, well the most important step is the first one, you gave me a big push. Thank u

[@camnooten110]

Such perfect timing, thanks!

[@respectfulalways5261]

The glasses look so good and comfty on you, Mayuko. After seeing your video, I ordered a pair for myself. I'm pretty picky on frames and tend to buy maui jim for my prescription sunglasses, so I hope these are just as good. I strangely trust you on things you endorse, but haven't gotten anything on your list yet. Hope my glasses don't disappoint!

[@elishakkim]

Mayuko, I'm currently job searching right now! thank you for this helpful video~

[@pretty_deer6517]

It can be really tough to find job in Software Engineering. My friends used talentservice and it rally helps! Thanx for video !

[@SlayBulbasaur23]

I'm preparing to apply for internships in product design and this helped me so much! thanks!

[@honzavosalik7659]

The company I work for has a referral candidate pool. We can upload resumes of people we refer, no questions about how we know them. It's up to the company to make sure they fit the role they decide to interview them for.

[@tfdan4110]

Hey Mayuko, thanks for making this video. Very helpful! I love your shirt, where did you get it?

[@easycoding766]

I never have heard about Angelist before. I’ve been having hard time trying to get the first job in the small city. Thanks for the video!

[@gradientO]

Thanks for this video. I'm in college haven't applied for any internships

[@ClassicGameSessions]

Great insights provided from experience - listen and learn!

Solution to imposter syndrome: "Am I even good enough to have imposter syndrome?" "No I'm not" "fuck, need to practice more or I'll always look like a mediocre version of his"

[@feykroTV]

> me in school > turns in assignement "yeah I totally pogged it" > gets a 65% > "i'm the best" > me interviewing for a job > codes the right recursive algorithm for the tech interview > answers to questions about the tech pretty well > "I'm so not qualified for this, what am I gonna do ?"

[@reasonerenlightened2456]

They want PhD graduates to do Copy/Paste jobs. Then 2 years later that is all you can do because the technology has moved on. The Copy/Paste jobs do not pay enough to stay ahead on the curve of knowledge. (When it comes to hiring they want top of the shelf products sold for pennies, unless, you are one of the insiders. Then you get a job where you do next to nothing for insane amount of money.) IN THE 21-ST CENTURY WE STILL LIVE IN A CLASS SOCIETY.

My screen time has been to the moon and back this lockdown.... Great choice of sponsor :)

[@Joxel]

Awesome video! I sent it to my little sister who's trying to land her first job in the industry. 😁

[@kayteeflick]

I feel the screen time in my eyeballs

[@elliooo9]

Joining a company you love in a lower-leveled position like Support and working your way via connections and consistent work is definitely a viable path from my experience! Took a little longer for me to get to a SWE position, but I didn't have to mention O(n) even once in my final interview which was nice :D

[@fhjunior6183]

Thanks for the vid

[@rafaelhernand3z]

Great content! You should make a video focused on experienced SWEs trying to find a job in a hot market

[@filosofiaparanabs-philosop6712]

You're videos are educative and quite entertained, I have to say it. Salu2

[@Terracraft321]

Very informative Consider using Iris & 20-20-20

[@HuyTran-vu3bh]

mayujo i love your content, but can you ask the company that makes your code hoodies restock in large. love you

[@j.franciscox3318]

Hi Mayuko, please make a video of Scott's L shaped desk.

[@MaxusLord]

Have a nice day!

[@JyotiDeka1989]

Thanks

[@Randomusername262]

My title is a software engineer for a few years and I still don't know what to look for other jobs

[@linusbornheim1331]

I'm sorry if you have ever answered this question before but what IDE do you use. Ive been getting into programming lately and wanted to hear which one you use. thx

[@saunaknandi1814]

Ok so now talking about asking for referrals, so can u tell me what is correct way of asking referral or asking to forward your resume?

[@hammadsabir8721]

is it worth investing in algoexpert? if not then what can be the solution for preparation?

[@gl1tchmast3r43]

9:04 is it just me or was Mayuko's head nodding hypnotic lmaooo

[@JeremiahPeoples]

I just realized members have custom emojis!

[@Mint_tea_cup]

I love your haircut, Mayuko 🙂

[@skinke280]

First of all i love your videos, well produced, structured and i feel well inform. One feedback point i will give you though is try to use the word "so" a little less. Of cause it could also just be me that don't think it doesn't give any value i dunno. :)

[@linjeremy8260]

十分感谢汝ei介绍

[@iamtaha____]

Hello I want to learn programing but I don't know that by learning the programing languages is programing automatically downloaded into your mind or you have to learn programing and one more question that did you learn programing at high schools or take a separate class at academy please answer these questions these are very useful

[@DonaldFranciszekTusk]

How to find student internships is another question (I'm now trying to find it)

[@mun3673]

Hi mayuko!!!!!!

[@excodot6069]

Thanks a lot Mayuko together with your colleague, this is very informative content. On that note, I would like to know how much more complexity is added when switching a career to tech in general at an age say, 35. Can tactics change?

[@iqbalfirmansyah7551]

I will very happy if I can more find you in spotify podcast.

[@amirhesham9529]

Notifications squad! 👋🏼

[@anon343]

I've been working in tech for 4 years and I don't really know why I am watching this video. I guess its still relatable that it wasn't easy to get to where I am, and I feel lucky.

[@marcofernstaedt8179]

how did you get your start in tech? (asking as someone learning javascript, libraries and frameworks, HTML, CSS, etc)

[@anon343]

@@marcofernstaedt8179 I did a business degree, whilst doing that I studied python, C++ and got cybersecurity and networking certs. Then I got a job at a small company by basically persuading them I could save them money by replacing some of their processes with python and virtualising a few systems. After a while there I moved properly into tech. There is no one way to get into tech, you just need to be passionate and have the paperwork to back that passion up :) For you, lots of software houses will take frontend engineers, or go to a small company where you can play web admin for a bit to get your "2 years experience". After you have 2 years experience in tech the glass ceiling is smashed open a bit.

[@marcofernstaedt8179]

@@anon343 AWESOME TO HEAR!!! I’ll take that advice it is greatly appreciated

[@kimdailyhabits2886]

Hi mayuko, I'm your silent subscriber and watching your new content always. it is my first time I think to post a comment on your video. but I'm a web and mobile developer using python, kotlin and swift. but lack of knowledge regarding with algorithm I just know how to code with intensive understanding. but when It comes to algorithm question like binary trees then my mindset is lack of idea and understanding. how would the company will know that I'm good in programming if I don't know how to solve some basic algorithm test?

[@fabian_ftn6604]

Is there any specific programming language I need?

[@TheCCBoi]

Find jobs tech… Find tech jobs… no, no, no… Tech jobs find, that’s it - nailed it!

[@yas1467]

can I get some advice? I interned this summer and got a return offer but I am not able to start full time until 6 months post grad. What can I do during the 6 months? would it look bad if I only worked at another company for 6 months and then went to my job with the offer? should I look for a 6 month contract?

[@joesofly14]

Working for a company for 6 months and then going directly to another job doesn’t look bad at all. If anything add a little more depth to your resume. Do whatever best for your career and don’t care what others think in the process!

[@franklsuarez]

It feels like software development is last good job left and everyone is rushing it like Black Friday.

[@bckzilla]

The glasses make you look great (hopefully)

[@MurshidHassen]

The main hurdle to get a job in my opinion is live coding skills in the interview. If you're comfortable writing code for the requirements of the employer you're in. Any others skills are 2nd class citizens. At the end of day. Your magic skills is coding with experience. 😸🌚

[@deaafrizal]

hi, im fullstack developer from a country that anybody like to laugth & friendly (indonesia). i always waiting your uploads 🔥🔥🔥 sometimes please take a time to make a video about how can you talk like that in front of the camera 😀 really enjoying...
