- Welcome to episode 7 of my software engineer day in the life vlog series. I recently went on a week-long business trip to visit the Meta Headquarters in Menlo Park. This vlog is more than just a work day in my life as it also includes highlights of my adventures throughout the week.
My Bay Area activities include exploring Stanford, trying out local restaurants, going to the Golden Gate Bridge and more.
I hope you enjoy the video and please give the video a like if you do!

Hey Calvin , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging shorts out of them.
I love you sirrrrr your video make me motivated to become a programmer 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💕💕💕💕💕
cool content🥳
Thank you!
Here in the Philippines, when something doesn't go as expected, we would say "awit". Lol In some terms it means to sing but, it also means that you're not good with what you expected...
Golden gate bridge, awit sayo hahahaha!
Hey Calvin li , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
Calvin you should do a gym/fitness focused video. Clearly you are a gym goer. Good video 👍
Haha thanks. I'll consider making a fitness-related video, anything specific you'd like me to cover?
@@calvinxli things you have found worked and not worked, how you fit it around your busy schedule, your goals and how you plan to achieve them. It’s interesting to see how creators differ - some reliant on personal trainers or gym buddies, others solo at 3am every now and again. I’m sure others with have different ideas 🤘
@@eastcoast4233 I will keep this in mind. Thanks for the suggestions!
What camara did you use to record this video?
It looks fantastic 💯
I use the Sony ZV-1 (and my phone). You can find links to my gear on my website in the video description!
Ey broo!!! My friend, congratulations, everything is incredible. Question bro, what programming language do you work in? What are the programming languages that facebook recruits the most?
I use Kotlin and Typescript right now but I don't think Meta recruiting cares about languages at all
@@calvinxli Bro thank you so much, you are amazing. Someday I want to get into meta so I'm looking for the best way to do it.
love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
not only talented, but also very handsome
Hey man I am gonna join meta soon, and I am thinking where to live at Seattle. Would really appreciate your inputs!
Hi Lu, congrats and welcome to Meta! I can't really give you input without knowing what you value.
@@calvinxli The office is bellevue, and I am looking for a studio that is quite walkable to grocery / gym / office. Not a big fan for night life but couldn't hurt. Also I like cyling. So place close to bike routes would be a bonus.
@@luyuchen2544I don't know much about Bellevue area but it's pretty safe and quiet in general. There's not much night life in Bellevue at all. I would just try to find a place that has AC. There's a gym on campus by the way.
And if you want a place that's walkable to campus then your search area is going to be pretty small anyways.
@@calvinxli thanks I will start with that
How often do you have to be on-call? Does it apply to iOS Engineers as well?
I think everybody is oncall. Frequency scales with team size. Mostly 1 week every X weeks with X being engineer count on the team.
@@calvinxli right on. Thank you!
Did you drive from Seattle (?) to MPK?
No lol I flew
@@calvinxli Oh, so you rented through Turo. Never saw an Acura rental car before.
@@brianlc Actually the rental came from National! Picked it up at the San Diego airport.
From which University u have graduated sir !???
I went to Oregon State University which I also talked about in my career journey video: ruclips.net/video/AGn4KmsiKSE/видео.html
@@calvinxli i have watched it just few minutes ago. Thank you for your kind reply. Go ahead ❤️
Sir do you earn 300k dollars a year as a software engineer? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
Hii are u living in a hotel, and what's is your post at Facebook and may I know how much a software engineer in Facebook earn??
its your fault that im watching this at 2:30am MYT and order 2burgers and some nuggets from your mcd and break my fast early!! Hahahaha, glad you were safe and lets burger toast!
Uh oh I didn't mean to influence anybody to eat McDonald's 😂
7:00 ofc it's not bad, it's mcdonalds xd
😂

Sir do you earn 500k dollars a year as a software engineer at meta? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
I don't make 500k at this time 🥲
Buddy why don't you decrease adding the titles down, I'm missing some clips because i was concentrating on your titles.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks for the suggestion! I do need to find the right balance.
do you always wake up grumpy?
I do have RBF tbh 😌 but that stuck door certainly wasn't pleasant
@@calvinxli u should smile more 🤭
THAT IS NOT HOW YOU MAKE A LATTE. I think im going to die watching that
😂 rest in peace
Are you too a big lover of cakes, pastries and ice-creams? Actually I am. That's why I am asking you. 😊
Yes but it also depends. I like stuff that's not very sweet!
