Self Employed | Zurich | Day in the Life of a Software Engineer

I spent 5 days in Zurich, Switzerland. We aimed to partner up with a cool recruiting agency, but there was so much more to the trip. From endless co-working and brainstorming sessions to chill breaks playing Smash Brothers - it was great (even when the weather was not) 😎
Oh, and for some reason my phone didn't record any sounds.
So I added every ambient sound you hear in this video manually!!
Took way too much effort 😵

[@gobienan]

It takes a lot of time to record these kind of videos so really glad you enjoy it 😁!

[@jaykidd707]

very nice cinematography!

[@gobienan]

Thank you!

[@AnunayInuganti]

Do you run a recruiting agency? Yeah the job market is shit these days, it is hard for Juniors

[@gobienan]

I do not run a recruiting agency but wanted to partner with one in Europe, ideally close to me, and working in the same area.

beautiful place

[@gobienan]

Liked the Airbnb and I definitely need to visit again in the summer time!

[@gusvieweg]

[@gobienan]

The most important question 😂 My heart says Marth but my brain says Lucina 🙈

[@harvardx2720]

Sir as you are experienced in the computer field what would be your advice for some one who is starting his career in this field 🙋🏽

[@gobienan]

My advice would be to use AI tools as much as you can. They can teach you quit a lot! But I will create content on this topic as well, like how to learn, resources etc 😎

[@sazidsarwar5599]

How can I text you?I can’t text you on twitter

[@gobienan]

Hey hey, what do you want to talk about?

[@sazidsarwar5599]

@@gobienan I wanted to learn code but I'm confused can you suggest me which language should I start with? python or html,c+,java? and can you provide me with some good resources to learn from? I can't find any just need a proper guideline or you can say roadmap!!

[@gobienan]

Got it, I think a lot of people have this issue. And I wanted to create videos about it. Choosing between Python, HTML, C++, and Java depends on your goals. For web development, start with HTML. I'll be focusing on frontend development resources, including roadmaps. For other fields: Python is great for AI and ML, or data science. Java for mobile apps and solid backend, and C++ for high-performance applications. Though my content will mainly cover frontend tools, platforms like freeCodeCamp and Codecademy offer excellent tutorials for all these languages. Stay tuned!

@@gobienanThanks. I’ve another question I’m from Bangladesh I wanted to do my undergraduate degree in cse in uk or Germany but I’m confused which country to choose. For German students visa the waiting period in our country is 24 months so I can’t go for bachelor but in uk the pr is getting really hard these days so what do you suggest should I wait for Germany or just go to uk?

[@gobienan]

​ @sazidsarwar5599 That is a decision I can't really help with. I have no experience in that area :/ BUT given the long wait for a German visa and the increasing difficulty of obtaining PR in the UK, I'd suggest evaluating your priorities. If the quality of education and the specific opportunities in CSE are paramount, and you can afford to wait, consider Germany (depending on the city you might need to learn German). However, if you're eager to start your studies soon and potentially explore post-study work options more immediately, the UK might be the better choice despite the PR challenges. You should talk to other people who did something similar to what you are planning. Google/Reddit/KZbin can help. Best of luck!
