I have worked for a couple of "prestige" companies as a software engineer, and my own experience was that I was too overworked to enjoy any of the perks. I had colleagues who were magically able to put in only 40 hours a week, but the majority of us just could not get away with less than 50-60, at least. I work at a much slower paced job now, and I do not regret for a moment the loss of perks and the lower pay. I'll probably live longer, or at least enjoy the same lifespan a whole lot more. Should you work one of these "prestige" places? It depends on what's important to you, whether you enjoy pushing yourself to the limit. If you are one of those lucky enough to thrive on pressure, or you are a super-productive type-A person who can somehow leave at 5PM and still get everything done, you'll probably be fine. If you're like the majority of us, though...well...it _may_ be worth toughing it out for a couple of years to put it on your resume. I know my previous "prestige" jobs helped me get the one I have now - although I had to convince them I was perfectly OK with being overqualified and relatively underpaid. I was honest with them - I let them know I was after something that would not give me a heart attack before retirement or destroy my mental health. For me, at my age, it ain't worth it.

@@user-lp5wb2rb3v I'm very fortunate in that respect. The work I do has a real and direct positive effect on people. My inner altruist is proud of the work and finds it very rewarding.
i think that there should be days of rest after projects to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the labor. perhaps this would increase retention rate, and i imagine that there could be a data science application that applies reinforcement learning to this theory. thank you.

This was such an eye opening video. I learned a lot and had never really thought about so many aspects that your video brought to my attention. I guess I had held the idea of working within these companies in such high regard, that I didn’t think of what it really meant to work within them. Excellent video ! 👏🏾
You're a scientist, right? When they come around and ask what you did after a project that didn't go anywhere, confidently explain how you very comprehensively showed that the method you employed didn't bear any fruit. A negative result is still a result! Now no one else needs to waste time doing the thing you tried. Very valuable.

Tina, if you don't want you cat to dig your plants dirt you can cut a circle using thick paper (from a delivery box or something) around your plant's base sitting on the dirt. I'm lucky since my cat did that only once and when I said no she got it and never did it again :)
Well first off, thanks Tina for another well thought out and executed video! Even though I'm not your demographics or target for this video I really appreciate your poking into subjects which we are all confronted with. When you discussed the reason of "why" and the concept of using now as a precursor to an exit plan (especially after looking at the reality of a 2 year life cycle), I hope people making those choices analyze using that perspective. It would be cool to check with MANGA folks who are staying for the long haul what their mentailty is (voldamort j/k)... have they become hell bent on corporate success? How are/or do they have work life balance (do their spouses agree)?

Please I just wanna ask you one simple question, are you American?? Your English is so amazing 😍 if your English is not your first language please make a video about how did you achieve that level of fluency.
I agree! I’m not in tech, neither is English my first language. But I’ve enjoyed Tina’s videos and is fascinated at her fluency too. Found mayuko’s channel via Tina as well. Two amazing and motivated ladies whom I absolutely adore in the tech space.
2 years sounds like a very short turn around time, but every country is different. I worked at my first job in I.T for just under 10 years. Looks good on your resume being able to hold a job and get things done.

The part that stuck with me the most is how it seems the incentives structure doesn't quite align with the goal of fostering creativity and innovation If performance is heavily weighted by impact, you can less afford to take the high-risk, high-reward actions that many times will fail to have impact (but pay off massively when they pay off).

In fact FAANG holds it's name due to big company -> FB/Amazon/Apple/Netflix/Google Honestly though you could add a few companies, I'd say replacing Netflix by Microsoft would make more sense. Uber could nearly be part of the crew as well and nowadays things are changing so quickly.
I can connect you with people who’ve been doing it for a lot longer than Tina. I have friends in data science and he’s got a degree in math 📜 and then masters in computer science 🧪
I worked at a tech giant… never again! I lasted 2 years… was the most horrible period of my life even though I made over 200k, I felt like a prostitute… dehumanizing, even being the boss of a 20 person team. again, never again!
I think for someone who wants to work in these mega companies and have no regards for the reasons she just pointed, must be living in a hollow and lost.
Don't lie :) being in a bleeding edge tech giant means you are constantly 7 days away from burnout, or YOU'RE FIRED !!! Go the startup route. Once you have the skills and enough wages saved into the armory, take a chance on something ambitious and become your own manager. Helps if you have business degree before you get your coding experience. Be an architect, not a building labourer.
Yellow does you wonders :) I love your use of blacks as they seem to speak to an extension of your INTP personality, so this uncommon sprig of color feels like a little visual pop. (sorry this comment doesn't relate to the content of your video)
Or just working in a normal job. It’s just psychological that you want to get a job at a place that’s hard to get in as they have a high entry requirement. It’s a sales tactic used in professional services
To answer your question why this video is not doing so well, for me personally it is because data scientist sounds boring as a profession, that is why cool kids are not checking it out. For some reason programming and software engineering sounds cool, but data science sounds boring and dull. Not a lot of kids would aspire to become one. Just my opinion (as a software engineer, lol) And to a lesser extent the thumbnail face is too dark and not grabbing (easy to miss in a reel of thumbnails).
@@xy9580 These companies usually have diversity requirements, thus women are more likely to be accepted based on this quota, rather than purely meritocracy.
Actually being a trans woman is best, you get the same diversity perks (or maybe even better) and don't loose the greater networking/exposure that comes with being male
@@raghuvenkatesan6792 I agree that they probably get even greater diversity perks, but greater networking/exposure? Probably not. Especially if they are trans since a young age.

The 'unlimited sick days' point made me laugh. I'm sorry but in the country I live every company has that 😅
And they probably get paid a third or a fourth.
Which country is this
I think all European countries have unlimited sick days or at least EU countries. In some countries it's fully paid and in my country it's 80%.
@@bramburn in my case it's Germany. But I think most European countries have that
Unlimited paid sick days is something different too. Take insurance if you want a comprehensive cover if you’re sick in eu countries
