As I was editing this video, I had an idea of maybe having a regular live show on this channel where I interview different people about their work, career, and life. If that's something you'd be interested in, thumbs up this comment 👍! For any ideas on the format, guests, and topics, or for any other feedback for how you think the show could be engaging and chill, leave a comment down below 👇👇👇
I think it would great to interview people from all different stages from their career (entry, mid, senior) and different industries! Software engineering can be applied to so many various industries so it would be cool to get that perspective! Thank you Mayuko!
Can I volunteer myself as a guest 😅 hit me up on twitter @johncodezzz
I'm a senior engineer doing alot of backend services and getting my masters in CS with specialization in AI / Machine Learning. Would love to lend my expertise to the live show
Love this idea!
Great idea!
Is there a form to apply for this show or is that too much work and coordination?
It would be super helpful to get more information as to how to take the leap into the Software engineering world for people who come from a different career/background and want to make that transition. Any tips, resources, or advice as to how to navigate into that space would be great! :)
Graduated in June, I’d just like any software engineer related job at this point lmao
* UPDATE: After 6 long months, I finally managed to get a job as a graduate software engineer! *
why have you not found a job? most universities have a high percentage of students graduating with jobs
covid?
@@sotam8938 I was a fresh grad a year ago, went through lots of interview. When they state entry level, they meant knowledge of a senior developer willing to work for the pay of entry level. Of course it doesn't apply to all companies but that's what it meant for local companies here.
@@sotam8938 apologies, I wasn’t notified of any replies on my comment. Yeah, COVID kinda screwed me over, but I’m a pretty patient guy so I can wait it out haha.
* UPDATE: After 6 long months, I finally managed to get a job as a graduate software engineer! *
I left my career in finance behind to join a startup helping with business development. While raising money for the startup, we needed a website to show investors. We didn't have anyone around so I stayed up 2 nights learning html and css to put together a landing page. Now I've been a full-stack developer for 7 years, the twists and turns are quite real but super rewarding :)
13:45 Life becomes so much simpler when you realize no decision must be forever. ^^
❤️❤️❤️
Whew,, im a student that needs this video😭
Agreed
I'm also
Whew, I'm a highschool student that needs this video
Ok now that I’ve watched the entire video, just wanted to show my appreciation *again* for talking about how everyone’s career can look so different because we’re all different! There is no one “right way” to do things and you talking about it is SO refreshing to hear amongst the typical tech content out there 👌
I love how this video is so crazy with all the gardening stuff but at the same time very informative. Had fun watching!
Thank you for this video. I feel like a lot of us needed this. Especially the students that are a little confused about the paths they have to take. We love you!!❤️❤️ Can't wait for your 1 million subscribers special.
Muko handling dirt in a plain white T is the level of confidence I want for me
confidence or "not giving a damn", wich is good as well
Lol
Thank you for posting this, Mayuko! This is actually really helpful. I never knew that there were many other options beyond just being a software engineer.
This is definitely my favorite video on your channel! The tech career ladder seems daunting, especially because it's not linear, but it's great to know the feeling is mutual between so many of us. One of my biggest fears after transitioning from SDE to BSA has been not getting another chance at SDE, but this video makes me feel much much better! Thank you! :)
The comparison with careers and different plants is so wholesome I can't
Finally a video worth watching...Cleared up many confusions regarding this industry. Thank you so much. :)
Thank you for sharing! I started with software engineering (high performance computing), went to machine learning, and am now exploring moving on to a solution architect role (within the HPC vertical).
wow! there are so many things in this video. Gardening, Career path guidance, software engineering. Yet I felt it was so well explained!. :)
This was such a great balance of fun, calming, and informative 😊
Great advice! I'm a software engineer and would love to grow and become an Architect. Love the chillhop music! Great for study and coding!
You are the only dev in youtube that is so chill! How??
I really miss your channel, after a long period finally I'm here. Thank you for your imformation.
Mayuko-san, you were able to purchase some nice plants.I enjoyed listening to you talk about the career path of a software engineer.
I also spend my time working in various roles.Thank you for the easy to understand video.
I would like to read the books you introduced.
But still, we're getting a lot of content!
It's so much fun to have more places for interactive conversations. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
ありがとうございます Mayuko ❤️, your video right on time when I need it the most
didn't miss the notification this time. Thank you mayuko. Great content.
Thank you so much for this video and also for every other video you make! You have no idea how helpful they are for lost cs student like me❤️
Good stuff and gardening. Awesome!! 🌿
I love your “Yo-isho” when you get in a car, Mayuko:)
Thank you so much... was really needing this...
Thanks for this video, been thinking about this recently
I'm not even in the tech industry but listening to Mayuko is so comforting 😚❤️Love your videos! 😁💕
Lol😂
Thanks so much for this video!! As someone who has been working in software development for 2 years, it's really useful to see what kind of options there are available! Also the plants looked amazing!!
Baking, brewing, and hiking are how I ground, get centered, and feel human.
i currently work at intuit where you used to work at and i have no idea what to do next but this helped a lot!
This channel has a very relaxing vibe
it's pretty funny you said よいしょ when you got in the car!! 4:13
inspiring...
thanks a lot for such a great video and vibes
THANK GOD I FOUND YOU OMG ANSWERING ALL THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
What a great video ....! Thank you so much.
MAYUKO AND PLANTS 🤩🤩
But for real, thank you for this video! It’s so cool to see how your past job experience resulted in being able to give such a wide range of advice for these career paths. I would love to see a similar video but for career paths closely related to software engineering. As a new grad with a CS degree, all I thought I could do was become an SDE or QAE. Thankfully, I found Support Engineering, which also has some flavors to it!
I knew you’d like this one Kelly 😆😆
You inspired me a lot mayuko ❤
I like how I didn’t mind waiting for you to shop for the plants to talk about the career paths
Thank you. You made me met my goal again.
This was so insightful! 🤍
Ayy the gardening idea came to life! :D
Thanks for the great video
I swear that every time I'm anxious about my future or about an aspect of my career you release a video about that same thing. Like just these past couple of days I was worried that I'm soon graduating but still have no idea what kind of software engineer I want to be. Again, I could have misunderstood the video, but hey, it did it for me, especially the hope across industries part. now I know that it's gonna be ok.
You got this fam 💖💖💖
I graduate in December thanks for this!!
18 minute video 😱 we are blessed omg
What a great video! :)
"tips and advice and tricks and stuff" ah yes prime idea for a new series :p
Love Mayuko!
Great video. I am a UK chemical engineering student wanting to get into software engineering after I graduate. Learnt a lot about the different paths. Thank you!
A question to anyone who studied computer science or similar: How are career prospects these days? If you have a job already, are you satisfied with where you are overall? I did a degree in industrial design but there are just no good jobs where I am. It's why I'm thinking about doing a second degree, and computer science sounds pretty fascinating. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
woo, just what I'm looking for
Hi Mayuko! Great to see you exploring some plants to add to your work environment. Are you up for a challenge? Maybe consider a visit to one of those big box home centers and check out some potting mix, small planters, and seeds. I wonder, could you grow some lettuce or green onions or pak choi in your home? How about radishes if you enjoy those? The 3 empty containers you now have could be a great exploratory journey. Happy Gardening! -Bob...
another great video :) tyty
Great video! I’m currently trying to switch career paths and beginning my journey as a baby coder...not sure if you already touched on this topic, but I’d love to hear where you think the tech industry is going with many companies letting staff work from home indefinitely. How do you think that will impact the experience of new people entering the tech world. Thanks xx
Been a Software Engineer for 4 years, I have done research while doing a master's.
In my long term plans include research and teaching (maybe Ph.D.)
but for now, I'm applying to management positions because I think I have it in me ^^
P.S. loving the gardening/life advice!
Did you have any coding experience before you went to college/university for the degree? I’m a junior in high school and think this is what I want to do, but I have minimal experience in coding
@@nrousseau7606 I had zero experience in coding before going to university and studying CS
If you want an intro to coding I recommend you take the freecodecamp.org courses it is free and helps you make a project
If you got any questions let me know here or on twitter
P.S I make videos on being a Software Engineer if you are interested take a look at my channel ^^
@@_CodeLife_ Ok, thank you so much. What do you think is the best coding language to begin with? HTML like on freecodecamp?
@@_CodeLife_ Also, are any high school classes that you think would help with getting into/helping in college?
@@nrousseau7606 Any language is ok, because you shouldn't know only one language.
I started with C++ so I think C# is useful to know, but if you start with front-end related languages it is more fun, the next step can be the back end.
U are the best, Mayuko! I'm a fan from India!
9:38 : Thanks for the O'Reilly book recommend 👍
The fact you are wearing white and staying clean with all that soil is impressive!
Honestly love the plants
4:16 i'm also a japanese/english bilingual and speaks english for most of the days but really can relate to saying よいしょ when getting on a car lol 😂
I thought she said...Asian 😅😅
Thank you!
Hii Mayuko.. thanks for this Video..👍
Thx for ur video to inspire me to start learning Python
Hey Mayuko ! Great video as always ! If you feel like it, would you mind sharing more in depth on the differences between different company sizes ? (Path y 15:25) I find that subject to be really interesting and since you've went through all those, I think that subject can deserve its own video. Just a suggestion, thank you !
oh this is good
U have a very good energy nice vid 👍
Early club! 😊
Hi Mayuko, I am an iOS developer and really enjoy your videos. Video suggestion: apps you have developed yourself and published(or not) on the App Store.
Ahhh I recognised the music you used at the beginning Blue Wednesday!
It would be funny a "One day with me" video. Nice
thanks a lot, but where is the subtitle? i miss that part as your usually previous video lecturer :)
Hey mayuko! Do you have a recommendation for a book about Software Architect?
Which path do you recommend and select for yourself?
What do you think about those bootcamp classes to become an engineer?
hello, the outtro tab is spelt wrong. I just wanted to say that if you wanted to correct it
AH I literally LOVE the mayuko’s corner videos
yayyy that makes me so glad to hear!!
Can IT support become a software manager or does he have to be a software engineer first?
Is this the same as career path for computer science majors? Or can there be more career opportunities?
Good job 👏
I like your mask. Which one and where’d you get it? It just looks like it fits well. Some on Amazon just suck. Thanks! 😁
To get a job as in google for sample, is better to have a computer science degree or a software engineer degree? I m worried if software engineer degree is too specialized in physics and electronics and there is too little programming
I really wished I lived in a sunny climate.
It would definitely help my mental health
You should check out Barrels & Branches in Encinitas, if you haven't already that is! Just got some plants from there last week and it's a pretty nice little nursery not too far from you (my partner and I are fellow San Diegans). Loving all the content!
ITS ON MY LIST!!! I’ve heard such good things about B&B.
@@hellomayuko woohoo! :)
Do you have any idea about the course Computer science and technology. I wanna know whether it's good or bad. I also wanna know whether there's scope for that course
Which of these career paths has the highest compensation would you say?
@mayuko I want to ask are u making UA-cam Videos more regularly now?
Working in Tech industry for 25 years, started as a software programmer moving to developer, Infrastructure Support for Wintel/Solaris/RHEL administration, being Team manager while doing some architecture review, helping Project Managers to deliver from technology logistic and supervising people to commit with the deadlines. Today just being Director of Infrastructure Department but knowing both Application and Infrastructure, like it or not Managing teams/people are far difficult than just solving algorithm problems but keep the tech side the yummy portion of all IT Fun!!
Hows life, was it worth it getting into the IT field ? Im a young person with some choices to make and you seem knowledgeable. Can you be happy & make a lot of money doing work related to a computer science degree or software engineering etc ( sorry Im a beginner If my wording is off for terminology in computers )
I like your channel very much
Hi mayuko, can you make a video on how one can find opportunities for part time/freelance jobs?
How about computational biology, chemistry , or physics as a career path?.
Thank you
Kindly put caption available if possible. Thank you!
This video was so relaxing and informative
Thanks for that Mayuko
love the japanese desk
EM - Min 10 years.
Architect - Min. 13 years.
I have a question. I have the opportunity to take a semester or two off and become a self studying developer. It just makes job hunting a little harder, but it’s shorter. I can also major in CS at school, but it would take another 2 years before I would finish. Do you have any advice?
That's what I did, I took year off and studying and will apply for jobs soon, I gained some clarity on what I want to do and time to start my business too. Wish you good luck!
how about data scientist or machine learning engineer career path?
You forgot the one where you become a tech/lifestyle youtuber apparently
got anxious about her accidentally knocking the vase off the table
車に乗り込むときの「ヨイショ！」がイイね
Mayuko did you take any financial aid when going to a college/university?
Same question, hope to answer that
