Hey guys look, its actually a "day in the life of a software developer" that is actually realistic, they actually work, they joke around (while they are working), they take a break for lunch, and they work some more which is supprising to me considering all these interns keep uploading videos on how their day consists of 19 breaks to lay down, play games, coffee, and what not
What’s the difference? I’m sure you could do all those things where this person works as long as you get your work done. It’s not like those day in the life’s are fake.
1. Drink Coffee 2. Checks email 3. Code review 4. Coding 5. Meeting 6. Decide where to eat lunch 7. Hours are flexible Seems like any other software dev job. Would be interested to know more details and comparisons with other work experiences.
interesting to see how they do it at Amazon. I work in a small webdev company and we do it very similar. My day looks like this: 9:00 start work by checking emails, chats, see if something very important happend 9:30 do the job, if something important came up, do this first, if not, continue the job from day before. 10:00 /at monday: meeting for planning the week 11:45 daily meeting (except mondays) telling everyone what I am doing 12:00 - 13:00 lunch break 13:00 - coding.. 14:00 (one a week) retrospective meeting 15:00 - 18:00 coding What I hate about my job are all the meetings and forced break.. I am not hungry at 12:00 and I don't need 1h break... my brain shuts down at 14:00 - 16:00 and I am not really able to concentrate/code.. this is the time I would love to take a break. 30 minutes.. Not 1h at 12:00.. where I am still highly functional. 15 minutes nap at 15:00 works wonders for me, better than caffeine
I'll raise you doing programming in the middle of a trading floor - being constantly interupted by people 70 people shouting all day, swearing at you, asking you questions, making you explain things, having to get on a phone call to explain how something works to an external client, having to both project manage, code and design everything yourself, have your boss/co-workers/random people you've never met claim your work is theirs, having to game the stack ranking system, having to work from 7:30am til 8pm with an hour commute each way, no lunch break. Being paid 10% of the money I made almost made it worth it, but not quite
Is it worth having a few million dollars when you never have a minute of free time to spend it? It's a golden jail cell really. I just need to quit. I'm thinking about hanging it all up after christmas and opening a STEM center or maker-space so I can go back to being a hobbyist, when life was fun.
The work environment seems pretty chill. I recommend using hub for that laptop and adding an external keyboard, mouse etc. I wouldn't stand working on internal keyboard. I envy you this adjustable desk, that's what's missing at my workplace. Cheers
I'm in-between keyboards. Kinda ending relation ship with the old one, trying out what's there... But so far only one-night stands. You know. Almost ready to settle for something serious soon.
I always look at my calendar first before checking emails because you could have a meeting in the calendar which is like 30 minutes after you get to work. And you could miss the meeting if you’re busy reading emails and miss the meeting alert.
there are 2 types of monitors we have at out amazon office HYD13... Dell P Series 24-inch (60.96 cm) Screen Full HD (1080p) LED-Lit Monitor with IPS... and Samsung 27 inch (68.5 cm) Curved LED Backlit Computer Monitor - Full HD, VA Panel with VGA, HDMI, Audio Ports - LC27F390FHWXXL.
So many people in your office! So cool :) I don't think my day is too dissimilar. I spend mornings checking emails, catching up on stuff, etc. There are meetings and coding interspersed.
Working as 10 years in IT, its boring and hectic life. 1 year was amazing as doing all playful activities and later its became more stressed, More big brand you are in,more pressure to prove yourself, You wont enjoy any TT ,Chess ,that's only for visitors ,interns or freshers, but as you became old you only go once in a while.
@@SmokCode Hey thanks a lot. May I know which platform is used for coding? I mean, it is just a text editor or Amazon uses leetcode, hackerrank or some other online judge as the platform.
That's a really cool office. Not really fancy but looks like it was built for productivity. Makes me want a large office vs working from home a I have been for the past year.
I noticed through the blurs all the different sized monitors, is there not a single monitor everyone has to use? Or do you get to pick and choose for your own desk? Looks like a nice day at work though
Yeah, that's also what I like about this industry, every one using the same "language" and sharing the same "world", and you don't have to learn a lot of government-specific stuff to make a living.
Your job looks very relaxed. And here i am with a bachelors degree in information systems, struggling to be hired as an entry level IT, underqualified because no job experience related to IT. As I work at an Amazon warehouse FC in New York as a tier 1 outbound packer surviving 12 hour shifts. hoping someday i can be in your position doing IT or even front end Web developing in a relaxed and casual work environment. I feel as if my degree has gone to waste because of this pandemic i cannot find opportunity in the IT industry. HR is corrupted.
I can't comprehend why 311 people took the effort to downvote this video. It's exactly the kind of content I expected when I clicked this link - Cool video dude!
I didn't know all Amazon offices across the world had the same desks,chairs, meeting rooms and monitors ^_^ Very accurate video.. Greetings from an ex Amazon dev :p
seriously, I work from 9am to 9pm(may be longer) for 6 days per week. how about you guys? honestly, I have to accept the cruel fact of peer competition in this job and I don't know the reality of other areas in the world. the most worrying thing is the exploitation from capitalists, there's too much nightside news.
am starting my tech degree of computer science and engineering.And I hope, I will get a good job in a good company..and thank you for giving an indirect experience....
I have watched countless day in the life videos on here, Twitter, Facebook, Google all employee's get spoilt with food smoothies gym's, Work for Amazon and get a Cheap cup of coffee. LMFAO
really great, informative video, i really want to know, what you exactly guys you do, are you developing the amazon website ? or working on new features or new products what you exactly do, im really so curious about this
My Workday almost the same but we have the static time of work from 10.30am till 6.30pm. But when the release is coming, our work hour can be from 10.30am till 10pm... Ukrainian Outsourcing...
Meeting day: Comes into office before 8am, no one's else there yet, so he has "a little bit of time to himself", which, as a software developer, he uses to do some coding before all the meetings start! Legit! :-)
I always have a dream to work in a Big or A Global Organization. Never got an opportunity yet in India its not the same working plan which rolls out. Here it's a hell lot unscheduled works which gets piled up day after day and main work suffers especially in a small organisation.
Is it possible to get a developer job at Amazon (or possibly Google or Facebook) if you dont have a CS degree? I have an electrical and computer engineering degree and debating whether I should get a masters in CS or just expand my coding skills by taking online coding classes and possibly attending a coding bootcamp?
It is possible! I have no CS degree. I think you should just prepare and apply! Also it is perfectly fine to do this on your own, if you feel that this way works for you, I didn't go to any bootcamps :)
A developer that actually makes devs look good and that we actually work. I didn’t even see a single snack in this video vs the ones in the Bay all that do is eat. Watch and Learn bunch of snack devs!
I have the same type of job but the infrastructure in my office is worst...I have a pc with only 4gb ram ,but as we work on remote server the whole day which again has only 4 gb ram and due to more traffic..it will behave like 1gb ram..whether anything can be made for bettering this

Hello, I am a high school student in NYC who got hired as a software developer (aprentership) and I’m so happy to see how cool your day is.
Am I the only weirdo who watches these vids while working from home, so it feels like I'm back in the office?
