This is why I quit my job at Google. My guide on how to prep for software engineer interviews: stan.store/youraveragetechbro... Follow me on TikTok: @dohyunkimm
Wow, so proud of you and inspired by you for wanting to expand your knowledge in the world of tech even if that means leaving a position many people want. Keep inspiring others and I wish you the best!
excited to see what you do next! for me, i similarly want to join a larger company right out of college for support and mentorship (and stability), but moving on to a smaller company sounds like a great path!
Yeah I definitely think that’s a good plan! Just a good place to get your career started and once you’re a bit more established you can go somewhere smaller.
If you want to hustle, definitely going into infrastructure is the right call. Creating CI/CD pipelines, managing docker and kubernetes, and solving deployment problems really gives you a deeper understanding of the underneath processes behind each tech company. BUT it is VERY stressful, so keep that in mind! There's always things to do, and many softwares and processes are outdated, but changing them comes with a myriad of challenges. Joining AWS instead as a SDE might also be a valid option if you want to get that deeper understanding while having a benefit of a big tech company. But obviously nothing beats startups in terms of learning.
a guy I know hated those Google interview questions, and he told me he literally walked out of the room before. But later on, he joined a crappy Android phone testing startup, and later, Google acquired that company and he got acquire-hired into Google. Since that time, he said, the Google interview questions are so reasonable. And then he also told me, he and his coworkers all wanted to leave Google, but it is just for the money. They all just need to wait four years and quit. So finally, after he worked there for 4 years and 1 day, he immediately quit.
Thanks for sharing. I have some overall goal to get into FAANG. I also had faced some minor toxicity of startup. So, I guess maybe a good medium would be good for building my skills because I also want to think about building some startup after gaining experience.
this was a very useful video. I'm in a similar boat and having similar thoughts, but my one question is: cant you do #1, #3 while you are at google, since it will give you much better wlb, such as doing a side project of your own or you can ask your manager you want to take on more challenges. I would love to hear your thought process on these!
Thanks for all the videos man my dream is to get a job similar to what you had right out of college. I’m going into my senior year of HS right now so any advice to go down the path that you did?

I found ur channel a couple of weeks ago and it was like ok this guy seems authentic lets follow him, i want to hear more about google and then i saw this video today and it was like really!!! But I totally agree with ur reasons so lets us know when you find what are u looking for....and if the startup need another dev let me know too!!!🤣
If I can build and deploy an ecommerce website from scratch with zero coding experience, then you can probably build any type of coding/software project with your Google background. Well wishes to you sir. (I like Python with the Django framework 😎👍🏾)
Daddy Google.. mother ship.. The imagery you paint with your words is immaculate 😂. On a serious note; these are all valid reasons to quit Google, kudos to you for figuring out what you want and going for it 👍
Good thing about joining a smaller company is that you can get a bigger equity stake instead of getting lowballed by Google cause they know you’re fanboying and will join regardless
Yea working for these tech companies is pretty lame it's not as impressive as it used to be, better to do something on your own or work for small businesses
Hi there! Thanks for pointing that out, but you’re reading a bit too into it haha. I just say “up” because silicon valley is in northern california and and being a southern california native I always refer to anything about the bay area as “up there in northern california.” I’m really sorry about that it came off as me having a superiority complex but I was referring to silicon valley or anything in the bay area as “up”! My bad
Wish you all the best! Hopefully you'll get that thrill of building a large project from start to finish! I'm excited to see what you come up with 😄
Wow, so proud of you and inspired by you for wanting to expand your knowledge in the world of tech even if that means leaving a position many people want. Keep inspiring others and I wish you the best!
Thanks for the kind words! Life is too short to be at one company so I’m excited to try out a bunch of new places :)
Yeah I pretty much knew it! Proud of you man.
Hope we meet one day!

Lol, I do all of these while working at Azure. Yes, cloud teams are always known to be tough, but you will gain so much knowledge and experience

Hey man recently found you off of tiktok!

Some say i’m a modern day shakespeare with my wordplay 🙃 Thanks for the words of encouragement!
I like how you showed Gai Sensei when you said “power of youth” haha.
If I may ask, what tech stack or languages/tools you worked with during your work ft position there?
I personally used Angular and some Java mostly!
Good thing about joining a smaller company is that you can get a bigger equity stake instead of getting lowballed by Google cause they know you’re fanboying and will join regardless
1:11 my heart dropped for a sec 😅
I didn’t expect your reasons for quitting your job at google. Are you also pursuing financial independence?
Can anyone please tell me how he left his job..i can't understand exactly.thats why
Hey can u document the process of you learning this new stuff

Hello brother , Best Regards from my end...

@@RyanKOnk Google
@@maxcreedon8896 😂
It's a sad reality of tech companies. Ypu can't stay there for a long time or you become obsolete.
You gave a Vacant for future software engineers
hope someone great gets it because it’s an awesome place to work!
My dream is to join a FAANG and leave in week.
All good but the AUDIO!
Yo, too hip to be a Google, fo realz
Yea working for these tech companies is pretty lame it's not as impressive as it used to be, better to do something on your own or work for small businesses
Pace yourself in life at work. You'll know what I mean in your 30s.
Wow
interesting... you quit Google and for 2 years, only 10k people are interested in this story about quitting Google
In the intros, it’s always “up” at Google or “up” in Silicon Valley…are you aware of these subtle hints of your superiority complex?
Hi there! Thanks for pointing that out, but you’re reading a bit too into it haha.

relax, it's not that deep. It's your insecurities reading meaning into it. Every RUclipsr uses that phrase
@@YourAverageTechBro no worries, it's understandable
“Ya boi” bruh this is cringe
Thanks for the helpful feedback!
No it's not. It's personality. Let him be
Boringgggggg
