What do you think of the week-long vlog format?
+ please remember to scroll up and hit the like button :)
Loved it !
Loving the long format
Loved it!! I do watch your videos whenever I take break in the evening after long coding hours . So your videos give me a lot of boost and motivation to keep on working hard (for getting into Google) as well as it helps me to relax . So I find long videos better than short ones.
Nice Jon! Loved the format and your music choices set a vibe too 🤌
This was so beautifully shot! Great video!
Thanks Bukola!!
Hi Jon! I'm a phD student watching your videos from South Korea. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Google in Silicon Valley and meet people working there. They were not only passionate about their work but also willing to mentor students in related fields, which was very inspiring to me. Watching your videos brings back memories of that experience, and it motivates me to aspire to work there someday. Thanks for sharing your daily life through great videos, and keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind comment, it was really nice to read! Best of luck in your studies 🇰🇷
Watching from Sydney :D so excited to follow your next steps, love the week long format too Jon
Thanks Vivian!!! 🇦🇺
Absolutely loved the week long vlog and would love to see more if that means we get content a bit more frequently!! Can’t wait to see the desk update video(s)!
Glad you enjoyed it! Consistency has always been a struggle for me but week long vlogs somehow seem more manageable 🤔
Watching from the Netherlands! Such an enjoyable vlog. Wishing you all the best!
Thanks Danbin!!
Loved the intro shots! pretty cinematic frames haha. Excited to see where your journey goes
Thanks Brian! I appreciate it!
Your vlogs are soo calm and chill ❤
Glad you caught the vibe!
Love this video bro keep making such type of video.
Will do thank you!!
Amazing
Happy for you
loved this one man. solid!
Thanks Jeff!! 🙏
You are doing great dear💪 I enjoy your video a lot. I imagine my daughter towing your line. She's growing a career in tech. Good luck in your new setup.
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏congratulations!!!
Great video Jon. 🎉
Thanks Elijah!
I was in Embarcadero, near the Ferry Building back in November. It's so surreal seeing you move there to work at the SF Google Office, knowing I was there almost 3 months ago!
Small world! 😀
Watching from Hartford CT
Good luck with your move!
Thank you! 🇺🇸
I liked it a lot, hope to be there in a few years!
See you when you get here!
I work here at Amazon. There are many of thousands of people having to leave as well because of the RTO return to office.
Wow
Whats an RTO ?
RTO stands for Return To Office. In general, RTO refers to a company'a policy that employees will be required to be in the office for X amount of days
WFH is nice, I love it as well, but you have to think of the employers or just even managers view. Nothing beats in person collaboration. IMO, hybrid is the best setup. ✌️
RTO return to office: why twice?
The vid was great!
Thanks Jason!
I’m watching from the Dominican Republic. Awesome video!
Thanks Pedro! 🇩🇴
Watching from Sunny Portugal
Portugal is on my bucket list of travel destinations! 🇵🇹
Aspiring engineer! I’m a junior right now ! Subed for the vibes 🤗
I appreciate it! Good luck with finals!
At 16:14 my favourite art is the T at the left because I spent so long making it 🥹 even though it was wrong it’s still amazing
That's so cool!!
yo the song is🔥
that ipod shuffle in the background is massive!!
What timestamp in the video are you looking at?
@@yourfriendintech 0:18 🤣
@therealprocheeseburger LOL nice one 🤣
@@yourfriendintech great video!
@therealprocheeseburger thank you! I really appreciate it

Hey terrific video! If I could choose between Mountain View or SF I'd choose SF but just because I love the city so much!! Hi from Vancouver!! I hope this move works out super well!! 🙂
Same! Thank you for watching and for always commenting - I really appreciate it! 🇨🇦
@@yourfriendintech You are so welcome! It's awesome seeing such great content!! Be well!! :-)

Will do! 🙏🏼🇮🇳
Nice video and nice view and your new desktop video 🎉
Thanks Priya!
watching form Bangladesh . I wish i also could become a software engineer like you . i love your vibe keep going .
You can do it! 🇧🇩
Interesting music choices...Thankful I have Shazam to find out the song and artist. Jon, are you selecting all the music to back your vlog?
Now that you have sampled British Airways business class... can you ever go back to economy?:)
Thanks! I get all my music from epidemic sound, they have a good recommendation algorithm. Business class was superrrr nice, but I’d still be fine to fly economy. I haven’t taken a flight since then though, so TBD 😅
Watching your Video from Nepal.
Currently learning programming and hoping to get into the programming World.
Thanks for watching!🇳🇵How are you liking programming so far?
it's been good. But kinda feeling low with the requirement to crack into this field @@yourfriendintech
Watching from Zimbabwe :)
Thanks for watching!! 🇿🇼
Another great video! I thought you were planning to give an update on your promotion - did you end up getting it? Congrats if so!
Thanks! I'm still working on my 2023/2024 goal update video - will probably post it at the end of the year / beginning of next year 😄

amazing vlog Jon, loved it. sad part is we dont know how many months we need to wait for your next vlog :(. But we do understand you are trying your best to make time for this and create these for us!! :)
New video next month for sure! Thanks for coming back 😄
Hey Jon, curious why you didn't transfer to the SFO office sooner? Did you have to be in MTV?
I chose to stay in MTV because the majority of my team sits there and the commute was still tolerable
@@yourfriendintech glad to see you were able to relocate! I actually like that SFO office you’re in.
thanks! I like it too; my quality of life is a lot better now ever since I transferred offices
Hey Jon, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your highly engaging thumbnails ?
Hey! I'm not currently hiring but feel free to send your portfolio over to my business email
I'm watching you from Morocco 🇲🇦
I wish to work at Google 😊
Keep going 💪🏼 ✨️
Same to you! 😄 🇲🇦
Watching from Peshawar, Pakistan
Thanks for watching! 🇵🇰
I’m watching you from Mexico 🇲🇽. I would like to work as an software engineer
Thanks for watching! 🇲🇽
Very interesting
Even Google knows that Apple quality is best ^^
👀
Nice noypi pala! Welcome sa Uk!
Salamat!
Why did you packed all that desk stuffs in box and left it there?
I left it for the professionals to move
I think you could have stickered the desk thing the usually move everything that is stickered.
The instructions were unclear and I didn’t want to risk it. But you’re probably right!
@@yourfriendintech Yea I just stickered everything, my coworker stickered the coat rack which in hindsight was brilliant.
@Bruniaru nice! Did your entire team get moved?
@@yourfriendintech Yea to another building fun day!
There's a sign on that slide?
How come i never noticed that
No one reads the fine print 😄
Can you help me with a project getting bard to completely go into my google account and build out a google site for me?
No I can’t, but good luck! Sounds cool
How many years old did you learn to code?
The thing is, I'm 20 years old and still have time to learn to code"
18
Do you write any code?
Yes
Watching from Turkey. London is an amazing city, I think you will love it.
It really is!
as a 24 yr old with no degree, only work experience in construction, how can I enter this type of carrer. (San Jose ca)
The main 3 ways are:
1. Studying computer science (or related) in college
2. Attending a bootcamp focused on the tech industry
3. Teaching yourself (through online courses/tutorials)
There are pros and cons to each so I’d recommend looking up all three. Typically you’d choose the one that best fits your lifestyle/goals/time/resources.
Hope that helps!
thank you. God bless you@@yourfriendintech
I don't think you made the right decision Jon. Good luck.
Thanks!
you are perfect software engineer i nee to be in the future afair me because i from egypt i cant right english right thanks you
Thank you for watching! 🇪🇬
From India
Thanks for watching!
Bro sorry to ask how much does google pays you
Watch my other video called “how much Google actually pays software engineers”
Bro sorry to ask this. WhT u have studied
I studied computer science. I have a video on the topic if you’re interested
@@yourfriendintech at which university
Why,layoff
Sorry I don’t understand
The affiliate links that pop up during the video are so annoying. Everyone is trying to make money but dang I honestly don’t want to watch your other videos if I have to constantly dismiss pop up ads.
Thanks for the feedback! It’s a new feature on UA-cam so I wanted to give it a try. Good to know that it’s annoying 😅 I’ll remove the timestamps so they just show up under the video
As usual as more videos shows that most employees working with Google only less than a year and resigned. What's your personal situation?
What other videos are you referring to?
Hey Jon can you make a vid on how to get into Google mountain view and about your journey... BTW best wishes from India✨
I have a few videos on the topic! Here's my most recent ua-cam.com/video/4WZAPbv51-c/v-deo.html Let me know if you have any other questions 😄🇮🇳
@@yourfriendintech that's great thanks for the info👍
I dont understand why people would leave their jobs to work remotely. Im sure that 95% of jobs require being "in person" and it seems to be kind of selfish to me.
Selfish to whom? Even if 95% of jobs require being in person, what does that have to do with the other 5%?
The whole point of a job is to go to work and get compensated for it. It isn't really supposed to be "fun" or "exciting" (if it is then that's great!), but making such drastic changes to lifestyle in order to simply work at home instead of driving 15 mins to an office makes it seem like you are taking everything you had for granted.
You are in a good standing at which you are well compensated and living comfortably at your job. The trip to the office isn't such a huge burden on your life, so why make huge changes based on it?
@Falcon8856 Tbh it sounds like you are projecting your beliefs onto me and my life. What works for you may not work for me, and that’s ok. You’ve made a lot of assumptions and it’s clear that you haven’t watched the video. What made you comment in the first place?
UA-cam comments are a place to project beliefs. I decided to post this because I was surprised that someone would undergo such massive changes for such little true benefit (from my perspective). However, I am not telling you how to live your life so do what works for you.
Your reply explains everything I needed to know. Thanks for clarifying! Have a great rest of your day
i will work 10 hours a day for 7 days if google hire me
That's too much haha 😅
@@yourfriendintech 😅
india :)
Thanks for watching! 🇮🇳
Hi Jon, I have been following you for a while now and I love your content. I am a Travel-Niched video editor and want to work with you. I've emailed you but you didn't reply. I think having an editor by your side will help you post more frequently and consistently. Can we have a quick chat/call maybe to discuss the possibilities?
Hi! I am not currently hiring for an editor but I'll definitely keep you in mind if that changes
