So many things I love about this video man. Beautifully shot, well edited, but MOST importantly a good and realistic story. This doesn't glorify the small perks of working in tech but instead gives real insight into the work Ashwin does and into Ashwin himself.
This video feels like it was produced by those big YT channels like "60 minutes" that produce documentaries. The quality, of the delivery of messages is top-notch.
This man is so real. People spend a lot of time chasing fairytale ideas about finding their "dream job" and the "perfect career" Your career is only ONE part of your life - passion from your job isn't a necessity but money is. Some people are fortunate enough to be fulfilled by their career but other people will be fulfilled in other areas, and that's okay. Spend time thinking about the lifestyle you want.
i dont like parents who say "NO YOU BECOME EITHER THIS OR THAT" My parents always said "Find something you're passionate about, that makes fun and makes you want to get up in the morning" I followed that. Started going to the army at the age of 17, dropped out in early 2022, traveled the world and now i work as a third level supporter and sysadmin at a company, and besides that i work on my own project which keeps my brain going thanks to all the various code projects. Im happy in life, and thats what counts the most for me!
5:40 I'm also a Software Engineer and also got my Masters's in the USA as an International Student. What he says is true: the fees are 3x for foreigners, which makes affording a degree very expensive. I wish Ashwin the best! I can identify with everything you shared, you are not alone!
Proud of you Ashwin. Rahil good work. It has been shot and edited well. Very true.. each one has to come out of their comfort zone, push hard to achieve.
now THIS is something i would expect from a day in the life of a software engineer, this is valuable information that the other big tech company procrastinators do not provide at all. Thanks a lot for your video.
The amount of work behind this video is fascinating. Camera work, lighting and colouring is just brilliant. Ashwin, I'm so happy to see you in this place. This video is so realistic because Ashwin has given a pure and unbiased perspective. It is very real and warming. Kudos to the entire team. Bring about more such videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Very impressive Ash! Every word is from your heart and so it is easy to relate ! It is a well shot and well edited video ! I’m able to connect it to the conversation we had when you visited ! Wishing you the very best in all your future endeavours! God bless ❤
Most people think about passion when choosing work but sometimes you need to do what is necessary. Surving for yourself or providing for your family could be huge motivators for working long hours and doing jobs you don't like all for the sake of financial security. Plus the safety net is always there because after a couple years of experience, you become highly sought out after even if you lose were to lose your job.
What a great unfiltered, unadulterated, and refreshing content. Rahil, great job as always. The way you put together everything - showing a little glimpse of India, and to the lightning of the lamp to start a prayer to the office environment here in the USA - to stay with the content of the narrative goes to show your hard work and uncanny, top- notch film-making mind. Also, Ashwin was so honest and authentic - very refreshing to see and hear a person with this much candor and frankness in today's world. I wish him all the best.
Thank you for this incredibly thoughtful comment! I really appreciate that you enjoyed all those small little touches that you mentioned about the video and hope to continue to learn how to tell better stories with each project. Also wanted to thank you again for supporting my work, I remember your kind comments on some of the first videos I made!
This is great Rahil. I appreciate your honesty and too many people lie and make up stories about how they ended up in tech and it was a miracle, etc. This is what we do to provide for our families and in the process we learn to love it and become attached to our work and the success of our company. Praying for you Rahil.
the first video ever , about the real life of a software engineer, well portrayed , thanks man, for sharing and all the best, in your future endeavors. God bless !!
Brilliant video. Great work on the camera and rhe editing and the final output. Congratulations Rahil. On the content bit, Ashwin, fantastic job. Your mathaji sure is proud if you, and I am sure your dad too is proud of you. You are blessed with lovely parents. Your hard work and dedication and your humility and frank nature are your strengths. May God bless you abundantly, and our sincere blessings for you to reach great heights. Take care Ashwin, have fun.
Thanks for the video Rahil and Ashwin. Good flow and no overdoing in the take (video, audio, place, surroundings etc). Neat editing as well. Good luck Ashwin to find your passion, and establish a second career from your hobby. Cheers to all team members
Generally when I see "Life of a Software Engineer" type names, only filled with office cafeteria view, some break time view, some odc view all that. The word you put "REAL" caught my eyes and really I am not disappoint. The lines you said I think 80% SWE from India can relate. You literally showed the REAL us and Finally the video quality is really good shots are perfect. Hope to see some more content from you in future.
Excellent video. Ashwin was completely open and focused exactly on what a viewer is expecting vs those fancy "Day in a Life of" videos which talk nothing about work except a breakfast protein shake at home - then the second breakfast at work followed by the N food choices during lunch / supper at the cafe - gym workout for an hour - 4th snack of the day and then head back home.
Bro which platform are you use for practice of programming language...some images you are added in this video at 3:20 minutes... please can you suggest me for the practice??
It depends which stage you are at in your programming journey. If you just starting out it would be best to use a platform like youtube and actually go thru an intro video for the language. If you are intermediate then it might be good to look at leetvode.
@@rahilatre8203 oky thanks for suggesting also I have one more question related to career as you say you was confused in between engineering and doctor field which one is select....in this situation what you do??? Because same problem right now I am facing in between different technology like app development, web development, ui ux, data scientist which one is good for safe career???
@@chavdasahil5029 Hey man actually im not the subject of the video, but I would say pick the one your natural strengths/passions are in since which ever path you take will take time
initially, I thought it was gonna be a video of some indian kid flexing his job, but I take my words back. Loved the video. Wish you all the best for your future endeavours.
This is a very realistic day in the life of an IT engineer video, working in IT myself i can definitely related to everything you're saying. Funny how similar working in IT is all over the world..
Appreciate you saying the truth. Plenty of engineers from middle class families find a software job cause it pays you more. They may or may like it completely but are here for the money. I would recommend this video to all those who lie to themselves about them liking what they do.
Wow this describes a lot of engineering students/engineers who want career advancement in the US. Great video that illustrates the journey into software engineering at Amazon
I walked by this guy when he was walking past the Car wash sign. I was on my way to Amazon where I am not a programmer, but I teach myself programming.
Bro you have guts of Big youtubers ! I m subscribing you right now nd I m gonna watch all your videos !!! You inspiring lots of students like me thanks a lot man !! 🇮🇳
Finally, something close to the real experiences of software engineers! Refreshingly honest, down to earth, pragmatic, and balanced-thank you! Well done, Rahil, and best of luck to Ashwin!
Amazing production quality! Can you have a quick rundown of what tools you are using? Somebody as talented as you will always have opportunities, so please don't sweat the loans... :)
hey ..im also from coimbatore bro, kongu mandalam......i also studied in sri krishna engg clg. its nice to see u there bro. enakum MS panra idea iruku bro ,for aeronautics .....looking fwd for ur nxt videos bro all the best , nalla pannunga
Nate! Thank you man for staying tuned even after two years of me not uploading I really appreciate it! Also hope your doing well in life and also in your filmmaking journey.
I loved the video ♥️ but I prefer a more personal and day in a life style/on the work rather than cinematographic and formal. I can see how much work was put in the video and I really enjoyed it ☺️
Thank you for the honesty and totally understand where you are coming from, hope you stick around for future projects and let me know if there is something that you are interested in!
Hi Rahil, do you think among your peers and coworkers, how many fall into the bucket of being fully passionate about software engineering, compared to those who just want a high paying 9-5 job?
Great question, from my limited experience most people I have met prioritize the "high pay", naturally since they have some responsibility to their families back home abroad, loans, etc. However they are also people in this same group who are genuinely passionate about building software systems, products, etc for the joy of learning.
So many things I love about this video man. Beautifully shot, well edited, but MOST importantly a good and realistic story.
This doesn't glorify the small perks of working in tech but instead gives real insight into the work Ashwin does and into Ashwin himself.
