After sometime it starts killing you...i am an intro but software is life without colors..you start becoming like robots no empathy symapthy humanity nothing you dont even have to make fake smiles..so forget a lot of emotions
it's very social, just the socialising has to be heavily engineering and problem solving focused. it's not a job the average employee is going to get to "hang out" with. be a secretary or hr employee if you want an easy job where you can socialize .
I went into this career because i have nobody so the money and career has been a rewarding. Also not sure where homie works at but i get mobility, working for 6 hours a day sitting down and still get time to workout, enjoy living, then make about 9k a month.
Yeah good luck getting a $200,000 SE job anywhere in Canada, especially as a junior or mid level dev. This guy makes what the top 1% of all devs make in Canada.
Ehhhh If you are full stack you can get a job lickity split. If you get a bachelor's in CompSci and the CompTIA triple threat core certifications (network+, server+, security+) you can get a job ANYWHERE. Just gotta sell your soul lmfao - CompSci student

Only issue is your usually building software for someone else and don't normally get a say so in how something should be or operate. They tell you to build it you build it that's it. And there's a chance they won't need your services anymore at a point once the software actually works and is making them money they may not need you anymore so they lay you off now you have to reapply again to a project.

There is a shortage in the trades in general its seems like everyone in my age group the millennial group and the younger generations want the easiest way possible and do the least amount of work possible to make the most money. Most of them would rather spend thousands of dollars on student loans and get into debt for a college degree that most of the time don't mean shit out here unless your getting into something that requires a college education like engineering or the medical field then cool by all means go to college.

@@jatinshilenExactly. People in tech have a habit of including one time bonuses and options that take 5 years to vest in their yearly income for some reason. It’s probably a brag. Unless you’re an entrepreneur, in which case you’d be an idiot to publicly inflate your income to potential tax auditors.

I used to think so. But after few years coding is the least expected of the job. You have to do a lot of meetings, convincing other people etc. For me that's like socializing and it's draining.
@@notjohnAtall that doesn’t sound ideal. I’m going back for Computer Engineering and I hope to avoid such things as much as possible while still being able to work plenty, and have a nice life for myself and my daughter.
@@TrayTerra After a while you get used to it. It just won't feel natural as someone who's already an extrovert. Unfortunately, the corporate world favours those more for leadership roles. Beautiful thing is after you become senior you can stay there of you don't want additional pressure of managing other people.
In India,in city like Pune,having a job of 15 lakh rs per annum is a success. You can also get married to a girl with that same level of package if you are unmarried.
You're competing with the newer generation and a TON of people. I mean, if you really freaking enjoy it go for it!!! But, I just saw this career as being too competitive and cutthroat. Now machine learning or like automation engineers sure but you need like a master's or phd for like 95% of the jobs in those fields. Those guys make 300k a year.
You're not accounting that more jobs and more frontiers are opening up. I make 300k not a ML engineer and i got in like 5year ago. Yes, its hard at first. After that you have more options than any career you can think of despite the competition
$300k without being a machine learning engineer ?XD. Damn, I guess I'm wrong here. I get paid by the job, not by the hour. And, I have work extremely hard to make $100k in a year. Ah well xD. The only lucky thing is if I ever get fired, I'll have a new job within hours. Yeah, I still say machine learning and automation engineers is the BEST field to get into. The amount of computer science graduates is insane but if there are more jobs opening up than graduates then it definetely is a good career.
@@Aussie50InspiredDavidZ Yea true, if you're just getting in it harder. Took me around 500 plus application. I am also self taught, so no degree to show. That was years ago,I can imagine it's harder now with more graduates and bootcamps. But once you are in an got some good names on CV, it's easier. The pay is largely dependent on company. ML engineer same level as me in my company will probably make way more. I am at AWS and my team builds tools for ML engineers. I could also easily find another job, but maybe for half the salary. That's the sad part😕
In a year. Not a month and don't do the Indian and Pakistani thingi which u guys start to convert it to ur currencies u forget the living cost in usa and Canada is way high. 200k a year is nothing
I have no degree failed every thing and I make 100k+ you don’t need a degree that’s what they tell you. Trade jobs pay just as well and you get to have a social life 😊😊😊
Trades don't pay anything, you start at min wage, if ur going to electrical ur maxing 32 maybe up to 37 no where near 100k. Obviously depends on the trade but my experience wasn't good at all. Even making 22 an hour they expect the world from you and the amount you spend on gas insurance parking whatever it's not worth it at all.
Joining a union like ibew your pay goes to the 50s an hour with lots of OT. Also for lineman storm work is double pay. So you are definitely clearing 100k
Working in the trades is shit I’m a pipefitter in the oil&gas industry they have to pay you good money or no one would do it, I don’t know a single person who wakes up in the morning and is happy to go into work as a tradesman
There aren't many people who would list computer scientist as a job title, maybe academics might? But most software engineers take computer science as their degree. You can take software engineering as a specific degree too but it is slightly less common
@@k1n1ami18 interesting. Perhaps this is a regional difference? I work in the UK (as a software engineer with a computer science degree) and here you would expect both comp sci and SWE degrees to be of the same length, and they are both just bachelor’s. The only difference really is that computer science tends to be a bit more theory-heavy and SWE tends to be a bit more practical.
@@thomasmathews4592 what did you study for a levels. i'm doing my gcses and i picked ICT instead of computer science, idk if it's going to make it harder for me in a levels. also, what is your salary like and what is a day in the life like, so what activities do you get up to? do you code for companies or individuals? are there a lot of meetings? sorry if there's a lot of questions, it's alright if you answer a few
@@Iuvmeg I did maths, further maths and physics as my A-Levels. Most university courses for computer science are designed to accept people with no programming background at all and teach from nothing other than base maths knowledge (partly because the GCSE/A-Level CompSci curriculum was always a joke, I am not sure if that has changed in the last few years). My logic for those choices was that I was probably better off studying things that weren't going to be retaught to me anyway and I just did some basic programming on the side to make sure it was something I genuinely wanted to do. (Project Euler, Code Wars, etc are good sources of simple computation problems that will allow you to work out whether you get on with computational thinking and only require basic programming knowledge) So because I didn't do computer science at A-level I can't really answer whether or not you would struggle with CompSci at A-level as a result of not doing it at GCSE but my intuition would be probably not. I definitely wouldn't choose ICT at A-Level though, it doesn't have anything to do with comp sci, another science subject would be more useful, or obviously more maths since a lot of computer science theory is just maths. As for day in the life... I work for an engineering company as part of one of the software teams (so we do sell software, but it isn't a solely software company, we also sell physical devices that combine in-house hardware & software, as well as some pure software). We maintain a list of new features or improvements or bugs to add/fix to our products. So every day I go in, pick the next one from the list, and design/implement/fix it. This is perhaps the thing I like most about software engineering, you just have an endless list of puzzles to solve, working alongside bright people to solve them, and then at the end when they are all solved you've made something. As for meetings... most weeks I will spend less than 5 hours in meetings. A small daily catchup meeting of 10-15 mins, and a handful of design meetings for complex features or planning meetings. There are other sources of non-programming time though, helping out junior team members can take a fair bit of time, assisting other departments like customer support teams, the odd customer interaction. As you get more senior you have to help do job interviews and attend meetings across teams/departments too. For now though I spend the significant majority of my working hours either developing or directly helping someone else developing. Salary depends on many many things. I currently only earn ~£35K, this is 2 years after I graduated and 5 years since I began working professionally (I did the last couple of years of my degree part time). This is on the low end of what you'd expect. I live in a very rural area in North Devon, you could earn a lot more in a larger city, especially London, or any of the tech hub areas. You could also earn a lot more in a more competitive industry (finance or big tech) which offer huge salaries (at the cost of work life balance, extra stress, and a lot of hard work to get in the door). There are a small number of jobs in quite niche fields where you can earn an awful lot too because they rely on skills most people don't have, or are in buzzword bubble areas. (Machine Learning, Crypto, etc) And obviously the more senior you get the more you earn. If you go online there are sites that offer salary calculators where you can put in a job title, area and years of experience etc and they will give you ranges of expected pay, so you can hopefully get a better average using those. Just bear in mind there is a huge difference depending on the industry, the technology, the location, the company, etc Best of luck with your GCSE's!
Really? Where? I feel like with a lot of the trades I see they constantly try to give out jobs to really really desperate people that can’t speak English fucking over the natives. Or maybe that’s just residential and I’m not seeing what commercial looks like.

This is on the low end of what you'd expect. I live in a very rural area in North Devon, you could earn a lot more in a larger city, especially London, or any of the tech hub areas. You could also earn a lot more in a more competitive industry (finance or big tech) which offer huge salaries (at the cost of work life balance, extra stress, and a lot of hard work to get in the door). There are a small number of jobs in quite niche fields where you can earn an awful lot too because they rely on skills most people don't have, or are in buzzword bubble areas. (Machine Learning, Crypto, etc) And obviously the more senior you get the more you earn.
If you go online there are sites that offer salary calculators where you can put in a job title, area and years of experience etc and they will give you ranges of expected pay, so you can hopefully get a better average using those. Just bear in mind there is a huge difference depending on the industry, the technology, the location, the company, etc
Best of luck with your GCSE's!

So do plumbers.
🤫 Keep it quiet.
Really? Where? I feel like with a lot of the trades I see they constantly try to give out jobs to really really desperate people that can’t speak English fucking over the natives. Or maybe that’s just residential and I’m not seeing what commercial looks like.
Plumbers don't get RSUs or bonuses.

Not really. In big cities and in big companies. People can make more than double and more. A principal engineer can make like 1 million
