ME

[@CalebHyatt]

I watch them all! I'm a comp sci senior (doing full-stack engineering part time) putting out applications right now. It's definitely saturated and hard to find openings I even fit for. Hoping to find something though!

1. really nice shirt, I wanna buy a similar one now lol 2. good luck on your job hunt dude. Took me about 3-4 months this summer to land a full time job in Toronto. 3. you will def find a balance between creating content and working a full time SE job trust me. Don't worry about it. Cheering you on from the sidelines!

Ty man

[@finngong1581]

did you do leetcode during the interviews?

[@Corythehausbaus]

got laid off from FAANG in jan, found a job in June, contract is up, back to the job hunt again, can totally relate !

[@M.A.D.C.J]

The multiple rounds suck so bad, you got this bro! I hope to land something going into 2025 myself!

[@Hiiipowerdanni]

Congrats to getting to final rounds and your offer is coming

[@xiangxiadang]

It’s actually great that you record the job interviews and the process. Nervous for you!

[@denitechYT]

Market is brutal atm, fingers crossed man!

[@jedcal]

🤞🤞

[@khz2172]

I got interested in SWE jobs by your OG "day in the life of a software engineer" video. at that time i was a 1st year CS student at Uni. and now I've graduated and got a job as a DevOps Engineer. All the while following you. this video has also motivated to do my best and look for better opportunities. Thanks Jed

[@harshitgrover5479]

keep grinding bro, you got this.

[@eernnnx]

Very cool to see you being open upfront about not relying on KZbin as your main income. I respect people learning and understanding that life will eventually move on and it’s good to have a full time income that doesn’t rely on you sharing your entire life on the internet. Also love seeing the CS interview process. You have just taught me it isn’t for me lol. I get out of the navy after 14 years of service in 2027 so I have to find a big boy job and I was leaning towards CS degree but maybe not after that. Peace and love, enjoy your holidays!

YAY JED LFG🚀🚀🚀

[@jlau04]

Definitely noticed that this year’s software engineering market has been a lot better than last years, even earlier this year the job hunt was pretty brutal.

[@jedcal]

Hopped back in at the right time!!

Wonderful, congrats! Of course RMD is a positive.

[@therealbennydong]

love to see you doing both the things you love bro! good luck with the hunt

[@will...]

Last month, I was on the fence about looking for new opportunities but your video about starting the job search inspired me to do the same and yesterday, I got my first offer! I find your videos very relatable because I feel like we are in a similar situation given how I also took time away from big companies to do my own startup/side project which has become a big talking point in all of my interviews. Hope your job search comes to an end soon!

[@WealthyChronicle]

I’m honestly impressed that your personal project got so much attention in interviews. Maybe I need to re-think my own job hunt strategy… thoughts on switching careers entirely? 😅

[@israe_998]

Love how u are showing us the process and giving us advice ❤ btw I'm not a software engineer or neither a student but I want to learn Css as a hobby, wish u the best luck Jed 😊

[@jedcal]

I love css

[@KillerTacos54]

Good luck on your final offer!

[@unstablecoder]

Jed if you could make a video on your approach for interview prep and finding jobs to apply that would be really helpful.

[@diegodcrash]

jet seriously you are an inspiration to me. Currently i am a senior in CS @Rutgers and i am in the journey to find the right job for me. Love your content, keep it up bro

[@jedcal]

Good luck on the search 🤝🤝

[@orphicflaneur]

Would be cool if you did a video on the technical side of the interview and where things are rn in the interviewing market

[@marcusphere]

[@jedcal]

Good luck man. The market still isnt easy. Got a great offer onsite a month ago after 10 interviews (in NYC/SF,) but they set deadlines for 3 tickets in the first 4 days and expected 12 hour days so had to quit lol. Will never give up!

[@jedcal]

Wow

[@Arbiteroflife]

10 interviews with the same company?

[@eshw23]

@@Arbiteroflife No lol different companies, the one offer I got had the chaotic onboarding

[@Arbiteroflife]

@@eshw23 ok, I was about to say big 🚩

[@johnosam4681]

3 tickets 4 days? Did it pass through a proper sprint planning/scoring man points? I had tickert 1 for a day or 2 , but not 3 for 4 days 😅

[@sam_enginex]

Lol Jed you looking steezy for that interview.

Looks like finding a job is much harder than starting one.

[@barcolife]

dude, question, you've built your own thing, and you're looking to work for an actual corporation. can you share the reason why you rather work for someone else vs being self employed? I've been with my company for a while and lately i've been wanting to branch out and do my own thing because I'm tired of the 9-5 grind. What would you recommend?

[@Alan-bu2hi]
