@@sandipansaha1296, well, it only happens when you either don't like your job or you're around the most mindful people and feel the competition so much that you end up taking a toll on the body only to be in the race. It is both good and bad. Bad because you are deteriorating your body slowly, and good because that is the best time to learn from the best people around.
1. Expectation vs Reality you want to joined to build cool products. But NOT! you do meeting, planning, understanding structure. etc Coding is easiest part of job. • your projects for millions of people's • 00000000.1 work you have do. 2. constant learning tech skills • learn unknown technologies you haven't worked. • learning is never stop. • you have to solved errors which is not present into internet. 3. imposter syndrome ( you feel you are not belong here ) peoples are smart. you should take care your health. 4. culture and work culture - deadline ( miss ) - PIP culture - 2 or 3 mouths you wouldn't do, leave it.
This video is so accurate that I cannot express it in words, each and every detail explained so calmly and perfectly and every point is relatable to me. People in this era miss out on these aspects of a job and simply want to "code" and get the perks but as explained that's not the full picture and in doing so they also miss out on one big thing that is Engineering. The fun and the frustration of solving a problem, the art of designing a solution (maybe cumbersome or innovative) is reducing by the moment. I wish we all realise this soon. Keep growing brother ❤
One of the most darkest point I want to highlight is when you are not able to solve the bug in the given deadline then you have to work on weekend. You will be working for 5 days and then 2 days on weekends and after that again 5 days, it will cause burnout. You will not get enough time to spend your salary and relax.
I work in one of the most chill company when it comes to work life balance but still face this issue. It is expected that if you find a issue on Friday it would be solved by Monday. Also i think even if i am not forced by someone to work on weekends, i would have that issue in back of my mind for all weekend and it does create mental fatigue.
So , true! Even companies famous for relaxed work culture are doing it internally. I am in TCS , and it's happening to me. I have been working all 7 days since march even with no extra pay
100% True , Thanks for sharing striver .. This is reality. I have been experiencing this every day. Manager pressure , deadline pressure , bugs in code, help freshers .... Now Finding different path other than IT.
So glad that despite making so many courses he is coming out with this level of honesty and explaining it to people upfront. I agree with each and everything that he has said. Its certain that you'd get a good package, some benefits, gifts, etc but everything comes with a price, you pay with extra time, sleep-sacrifice and sometimes with your weekends too..
Your this video just made me cry that it was so accurately said about each and every aspect about the software engineering and how is the actually the life of engineers who are working. I strongly agree when you said sometimes you think you don’t belong here, your effort doesn't seem to others, but yes these facts that you shared in the video are so accurate. But no worries, that’s what we have chosen so it comes with some perks but yes we have to give something about it as well.
As compared to other fields in India, salaries in IT are very good if you have technical skills + communication. Also the work culture is very good as compared to non IT jobs. Off course bad managers are everywhere, but with lakhs of companies, you have options to switch atleast.
You're totally true..Striver. After 2 years of experience in softwareengineering, I can totally agree. Thanks for bringing this out ❤. You're providing real content.❤
As software engineer , i agree with your all points.. Sometimes I think, I will resign from whole it industry itself, will start momo business.. Atleast I will be able to sleep with peace with my family.. May be I will not have that much money, but that will be more peaceful 😢
The origin of the dark side is only due to the high expectations and deadlines, otherwise software engineering is a beautiful domain I think the meetings wala point is still not the worst, we still get to talk about the "geeky stuff", software design and architecture because anyways we need planning before actual coding.
Bhaiya strings apne padaya ni hua abhi tk to kahi aur se padna pada, aapke liye respect badd gyi............aapse arrays and binary search pada, aap to hard ques ko bhi itna ache se explain kr dete the ki usually koi doubt rehta ni tha.

Yepp!!! That’s the reality…it feels really good to hear it from someone like you..especially the self-doubt part -whether we belong here or not.That was a much needed video..Thanksss Striverr!
The imposter syndrome, i am having serious mental issues over this ... Constant anxiety and mood swings And the very practical part of IT you said that we could be put on any project and to be under constand learning...I feel it
Couldn't agree more. Just thinking out loud: It's strange that earlier people used to complain that jobs are monotonous, same and boring. But now it's the other way around, tech is evolving and you get to hop on to new things, but people are complaining about it. What's your take guys?
I have nearly 4 yrs of exp. Truth is we get money but its miserable. The amount of stress, anxiety is unbearable. I am saving aggressively so that I can retire as fast as I can.
Striver a request, could you kindly provide a shorter playlist version for the binary search playlist as you said you would and as you have done for graphs and dp , as we have very less time for placements. Thank you for your dedication towards us.
Don't loose hope. Do anything to survive a decade. Can step down/up/change but try hanging there. I am getting kicked out in pip, but watching this kid to get some interview cleared. Hope alive.
Hello sir, I'm soo depressed currently I had switched off from my current company after 3 year due salary increment problem. But now I'm searching company, recruiter call for first round but after first round they didn't call again for second one however they said only that I'll schedule next round then also ? So depressed to not get job
You looked very different in this video. I am not sure whether you are really doing well. I am confused about your health condition. Are you really fine? It seems like you are forcing yourself from breaking down in the video. I hope your health is alright.
Have you heard of under paid and over worked (basically slavery) with tough and stress life? that's mech and civil for u. IT IS FAR BETTER THAN>>>>>>>>> CORE ENGINEERING
Even after product based campany with good salary SE says about the hard work. Then what about the feeling of the Engineers with low salary and same hard work at company🙂
Every single day I feel the pressure.. Will I survive today.. Will i be able to meet my higher authorities' expectations.. Again can't complain because they are giving higher salary, great recognition.. Such a confusing industry
Actually there is always a bad or good side on every sector if you want to earn not too much but ok ok then join mncs and if your goal is only to earn money then join big product base companies there you have to sacrifice your little enjoyment but if you want to earn 1-2 lkhs then join mnc like Accenture cognizant Infosys tcs etc... after one or two switch you will have a good salary with work life balance..then choice is yours... every coin has two side as always 😊😊
What i do is when i encounter a new thing, i'll just sacrifice my weekends and nights of weekdays. Doing this for last 2 years and always come out of imposter syndrome :)
you can eat well and full when you are not in stress overall but once you joined private organization, you will have bloating problems, whatever you eat will sit in your stomach and slowly in 2 to 3 years you will be fucked, and you will think this space is not for me, 99.99% software are working because they all are trapped in credit like home loan, car loan and personal loans. **IMPORTANT** government job with less strict deadlines are the best jobs.

1. Expectation vs Reality
you want to joined to build cool products.
But NOT!
you do meeting, planning, understanding structure. etc
Coding is easiest part of job.
• your projects for millions of people's
• 00000000.1 work you have do.
2. constant learning tech skills
• learn unknown technologies you haven't worked.
• learning is never stop.
• you have to solved errors which is not present into internet.
3. imposter syndrome
( you feel you are not belong here )
peoples are smart.
you should take care your health.
4. culture and work culture

Not true. You can discuss with your manager or higher management if you're unable to work. If it's a toxic workplace then it's otherwise.

where is the so called "good work life balance" in top companies then?
Was never there. Just sold us all a nice dream.
It’s TEAM dependent.
