Thumbnail game incredible. Thanks for making some of the best software engineering content on YouTube

Bunch of people that look like they're 40 but are actually 25.. and a bunch of people that are 25, that look like they're actually 40" -- that's the same thing, Steve 😅(I get what you meant tho)

Great video. I agree that programmers should not worry too much about working at places where they feel like they're changing the world. However I think that if you keep building on your skills and aim that learning towards your dream mission you will eventually get there. I believe getting there is the secret to not dreading Mondays.

7:15 is so damn relatable. I've just accepted that it's hard to find a job with meaning that pays tech salaries
@SDFC
Thanks a ton for making these videos, Steve! 🙏 I’m actually a former Amazonian, and one of the things that I miss most about working at Amazon is the access that I had to senior and principal engineers while starting out my career, so I greatly appreciate these videos 😁
@stirfriedmushupork
Just found this channel, you’re the tech lead this platform needs!
@justmo8523
Glad to see your channel growing, keep the hard work and great advice! <3
@leetcoderafeeq2641
Laughed out loud at the thumbnail 🤣
@nothingtoseehere93
I just wanted to say that thumbnail is amazing

What are your thoughts on terminal career level for most SWEs? Is never moving beyond senior SWE ideal for compensation relative to work/responsibility if you don't care about corporate ladder climbing? Nearing 6 years into my career--worked hard initially and learned lots, got promoted to senior level quick by company standards (4 years vs 6-8 usually), became fairly burned out/unhappy with my company during COVID, got a new job as a senior SWE doing essentially the same thing (for nearly double the pay with much better surrounding team/processes/etc.). Probably still generally feeling burned out, but could see happily coasting along where I'm at now making ~$130k with minimal stress (good for my market, 100% remote role) and not really pushing for more. Thanks for making the best SWE career advice content on YT!
@stanchan
No, it’s not illegal to ask why why you left your previous job or want to leave. I was in job interviews with that question. It is illegal to asked questions that are related to a protected class, like age.

One of my friends just got software engineer offers from Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and Google, he is 57! I am 53, looking to follow his steps! My memory might not be as sharp as young guys, but my experiences, logical thinking, the ability to understand new things, ability to visualize things, the ability to use overall abilities to achieve the goals are growing bigger and bigger.
@svddwd
Nice. I am 43 and still mid level IC. Started coding at 25. Grew up in India without much exposure. Now I feel bit relieved.
@eugenezh9524
As I understand, one of the expectations for L7 Principal Engineers is to "influence" teams of people. It's not the same as "managing" because these people don't report to you. Would you be able to share how you picked up those skills or recommend books or courses to help learn them?
@tqw1423
Thanks for the great content again Steve. I agree comparison is thief of joy but it's kind of hard to not care about it at all, especially for folks raised up in the environment where there are so many people fighting for very limited resources. Even in this industry, I believe there are performance reviews going on every year to get rid of low performers. Honestly, I hope that I can get career advices from this channel that keep me competent and survive longer.
@YoutuebPremiumUser
Genuinely liked a video in a long time.

2:30 🤩 Go diplomatic!
@zb2747
By far the best thumbnail I’ve seen 👌🏽🔥
@thomastianklotze3181
What’s your advice for junior engineers who might be worried about asking too many “dumb” questions or making mistakes or bugs while finishing tasks? Great video as always!
