Like the video for good karma 😊 + Comment below where you're from

[@toshiksharma]

LOVE FROM INDIA ❣️

[@PR-gu6qf]

I love working from home, I too was forced to go back to the office but fortunately have found remote work and I am so much more productive and get to spend more time with my kids, I wish employers would recognize the pros much more

[@yourfriendintech]

Agreed! I'm glad you were able to find remote work

[@simonchen7]

Welcome back and thanks for making these videos! As a software engineer myself, I find your videos really motivating! Fantastic job with the editing as well!

[@yourfriendintech]

Thanks Simon! I appreciate it 🙏

[@MrSouthwest737]

I want to get into Google as a SWE , this motivates me a lot.

[@janemaquisegismundo7484]

I just graduated with a bachelor's degree in IT, and this video inspired me to become a software engineer

[@yourfriendintech]

Congratulations on graduating!

[@jacob.olenick]

Great job on this video, Jon.

[@yourfriendintech]

Thanks Jacob! 🙏🏼

[@sustainablewww6715]

I completely agree about working from home. If I could I would also do that full time.

[@chiekenwanna-nzewunwa1773]

I enjoyed watching the video 👍🏾

[@yourfriendintech]

Thank you!!

[@christophercj5420]

With all these cool office perks, free gym, play areas such as table tennis area, arcades , nap pods, one wants to know can employees be at the office on their days off? Or if their on call?

[@yourfriendintech]

There are a lot of offices that are available 24/7

[@kendrasananikone]

what a cool peek into tech office life! glad to see you're back :D

[@yourfriendintech]

Thanks Kendra! I ended up getting the brevite bag 😄 (I won it from a KZbin giveaway!)

[@kendrasananikone]

haha that's awesome! how do you like it so far?@@yourfriendintech

[@yourfriendintech]

I like it! I enjoy how easy it is to stay organized.

[@ClaireandNanami]

your commute time is not ideal, but it's good that you can get some work done while commuting at least so you can include it as part of your workday.

[@bctanian]

Hey! do you still use Sony zv-1 or switch to sony fx?

[@yourfriendintech]

Hey! I use the Sony ZV-E1. All my gear is linked here www.amazon.com/shop/jon-yourfriendintech/list/YIKMJYEIN6QZ?tag=onamzyourfr0d-20&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d

Thanks I appreciate:) @@yourfriendintech

[@trag_ic]

Do you see yourself moving near Mountain View in the future? I ask this because living in San Francisco 100% has its perks, however transitioning back to working in-office may make the negatives outweigh the pros which you talked about in the video. I'm going to be a in a similar situation soon and wanted a different perspective on it, Thanks! :)

[@yourfriendintech]

Honestly, probably not. It would save time on my commute but I feel like I wouldn't have a life in Mountain View lol, so I'd rather live in the city and commute 3x a week.

[@YakoBlast]

Whats ur tech stack, what languages, databases, etc do u use?

[@yourfriendintech]

I work on the Android OS and code in Java and Kotlin

[@christophercj5420]

I heard Google took away the free food? Did they take it away and then bring it back? Was it just scaled back? Did it never happen? Please tell me what happend? Also I hope to be a software engineer one day, So thank you so much for your videos :)

[@yourfriendintech]

The food is still free 😊 thanks for watching!

[@mars2459]

Not sure if this was ask before, but on average how many hours does software engineers work in a week? Also, is the pay salary or hourly? If salary, then I'm guessing you don't get paid OT? thanks for answering!

[@yourfriendintech]

It varies by company and even further by team, so I'll just answer for myself: I work ~40hrs a week,and I am paid salary with no OT. FWIW I do know salaries software engineers that get paid OT if they are on-call.

[@mars2459]

@@yourfriendintech thanks for getting back! btw, do you have a class that you can recommend to someone lets just say a HS graduate who's trying to get a feel if SE is right for them.. like a beginner class to kinda get an idea if that's a career they want to pursue? thanks a bunch!! :D

Hii Jon ! Actually i have a doubt regarding full time opportunity in Google. Like is it possible to join google as a fresher like if i dont have much experience in interships etc . If i don't belong to faang background in intership can i still join Google as a full time software engineer?? Please resolve my doubt 😢
