You requested and I delivered. Here's a video about a day in my life as a software engineer but on a day where I work from home. Leave some comments down below about other videos you're interested in seeing or about anything else! •••••••••••••••••••••••• About me: I'm a software engineer currently working at a really dope company in Silicon Valley. I'm about a year out from college where I graduated with a degree in Computer Science. This channel is all about helping people who want to know more about software engineering or computer science and for me to be a helping hand in any way I can. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Set up a one on one intro Software Engineering coaching session with me! https://bit.ly/2WnMTtv ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41MRjN_EHj8

Over the past 3 months, I've been studying non-stop for software engineering interviews in order to quit my DevOps job. As much as I enjoyed DevOps and Infrastructure, I realized that I wasn't coding as much as I wanted to. I also wanted to try something new. But I completely forgot how stressful and ridiculous the job interview process can be for software engineers. The process can be so random. And knowing how to code a sudoku solver in a word document, from memory, does not make you a good programmer and yet, way too many companies are expecting this from their candidates. The whole process can be demoralizing but after 3 months of a necessary evil (Leetcode), I was finally able to get an offer for a Backend Software Engineering job that I'm excited about. However, the fact of the matter is, companies need to rethink candidate interviews. If you're currently in the process, I promise it gets better! Lean on me as a resource. And speaking of resources, here are some resources I found super helpful these last 3 months: - https://leetcode.com - https://cses.fi/book/book.pdf - http://highscalability.com/ https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:25 - Why I Wanted to Leave / First Attempt 07:47 - My Second Attempt at Leaving 09:04 - Things to Remember During the Process 10:16 - What I Was Looking For in My Next Job 12:42 - Overview of Technical Interview Results 14:50 - Reflection and Advice •••••••••••••• CONTACT ••••••••••••••••••• Business inquiries ONLY (pls and ty) - sosaasiruwa@gmail.com Wanna talk about tech or investing 1:1? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sosa Or support the channel :) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sosa •••••••••••••• SOCIALS •••••••••••••••••••• Instagram - http://instagram.com/sosaasiruwa/ Twitter - http://twitter.com/sosaasiruwa •••••••••••••• ABOUT ME •••••••••••••••••••• I'm a software engineer currently working at a really dope company in Silicon Valley.

Learning how to code can easily become overwhelming. Here's a video with tips and resources for learning how to code! I've also included some helpful resources down below: TLDW 1. First, figure out what you want to build and why - Have no idea? Start with Python - Python resources: - https://www.learnpython.org/ (go to the Learn the Basics section) - https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-python Want to build a website? - Start with learning HTML, CSS, Javascript - https://www.freecodecamp.org/ (step by step tutorials to build real projects) Want to learn: - Mobile Apps? Swift (iOS), Java (android), React Native / Flutter (cross-platform but learn Javascript first) - Data Science + Machine Learning? Python - Databases? SQL, NoSQL 2. Build on core Computer Science concepts (data structures, algorithms, etc) - Take free online classes like Harvard’s CS50x Introduction to Computer Science - Link to that class here: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2020/ 3. Watch videos about coding to see how others approach a problem 4. Don’t get caught in a tutorial loop! Build something and apply what you've learned •••••••••••••••••••••••• About me: I'm a software engineer currently working at a really dope company in Silicon Valley.

This video is all about what I've learned at my first software engineering job as an engineer/software developer. I've learned so much so far and I can only hope that I can share my knowledge so far with the rest of you! •••••••••••••••••••••••• About me: I'm a software engineer currently working at a really dope company in Silicon Valley.
