Why I Left Google As A Software Engineer

[@ZeryusXD]

Maybe a video on what would you do if you were to start over in 2023 but as a self taught developer. What plan would you take and what resources you would look for

[@TechwithLuca]

Thank you for watching! I will make sure to do something like this :D

[@WithSandra]

The long awaited video, thanks for going in depth into this Luca! 😁

[@TechwithLuca]

Thank you for watching!

Congrats Luca. Wherever you go, they are lucky to have you.

[@TechwithLuca]

Thank you! Will make a day in the life in the near future :)

[@TechwithLuca]

Thank you for watching! Another reason that I didn't talk about is -> full remote :D

[@ropro9817]

Just curious... When you say 'longest tenured on your Google team', how many years was that? Would love to hear about your new job next time too!

[@TechwithLuca]

@@ropro9817 You might be surprised but the avg tenure @ Google overall is a little over 3 years. Still one of the highest. People often move teams/ switch projects after hitting promotion. My tenure on that team was just short of 3 years

[@ropro9817]

@@TechwithLuca Interesting, thanks for the response! I'm not a FAANG (MANGA?) insider so had no clue! 😄

[@boot-strapper]

it seems like no one ever actually STAYS at a faang company. It really makes me wonder if its not all its cracked up to be.

[@TechwithLuca]

I think is also because there are so many other great places and peoples need and value may change. To shine some light: Most of the folks I know from Google are still there many of them been there longer than 6 years by now some even exceeding 10. Some of the teams or orgs have really long tenure.

Imagine me living in a third-world country that doesn't care about your major, my major which I studied in Russia it's (informatics and computer engineering), and now I am living in Kuwait and my job is a call center agent just because of my nationality (non-Kuwaiti Arab), imagine how I am disappointed about what is happening in my life just, I have a great degree and great skills in different things, my wish is if I could come to the USA or have a job in Google or other big companies.

[@TechwithLuca]

Thank you for watching! I can only understand the frustration. I hope in the near future with the raise of AI, it can also increase the collaboration zone and allow more flexible projects regardless of location. You got this!

[@ssnhis]

yes usa citizenship is over powered but even if you live in a developing country you can still work remotely for big companies or move countries later if you work hard enough, thats what Im doing 😊

Beautiful Video With Lots Of Great Information ✨️🥇

[@PJSCode69]

Luca broo, you gotta make a video on what's important for CS students in the field as a former student 😭 Great video though, I gained a lot of insight.

[@TechwithLuca]

Glad you liked it. I have another video on this topic but I am planning to make a newer version
