I’m almost 2 and a half years into my software engineering career and I’ve learned a lot in this short amount of time. I made a lot of mistakes that most new software engineers make. Of course, I’m not an expert since I’m new to this but I still think I can give out helpful tips to other engineers who might be coming into the field and avoid mistakes that I’ve made. So today, I have 3 pieces of early career advice for you that took me almost 2 years to learn.

How much do software engineers get paid? You've been asking and I've finally been able to answer. In this video, I talk all about how much I make as a software engineer, how I budget my money, what my savings plan looks like and why I started real estate investing.

If you’ve been watching my channel for a while, you know that I’ve been working as a software engineer for about 2 years now. I graduated in May of 2018 and been working since that summer. Before starting this job, there were a lot of misconceptions and myths of software engineering that I would read or hear about through the grapevine that I believed but now since I’ve been working, I can use some of my personal experience to put a couple of those myths to rest so here are the 5 myths about being a software developer. Enjoy!

Hi friends, this is a video about the "worst" thing about being a software engineer or software developer. Of course, I love working in engineering and developing cool things but there are times where I can get super frustrated and I wanted to share those moments with you all. I hope you guys enjoy this conversation and I want to make more of these type of videos in the future. Let me know down in the comments some things you love or hate about being a software engineer or being a student who studies computer science.

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:

I get a lot of questions asking what a DevOps engineer is and what I do working as one. I tried my best to explain what I do in this video. Don't be shy to ask me questions if you want to learn more. Enjoy!
