      Hey Brian! There are a lot of government tech jobs already, but there is definitely a rise in big tech here. I know in Reston, VA there is a Google, Microsoft, and Oracle office. In Arlington, VA there is Amazon HQ. In DC, FB also has an office!

    • @ajkoo52

      As a full stack engineer it’s not bad to have more scope of knowledge in the backend framework your team is using as well, but being a software engineer is learning on the spot and how well you can google things up you know?! haha

    How would you rate WLB, happiness with your career? I’m about 3 years into my degree and I just feel like being in front of a computer for all day can be a little depressing. Money and all is good, but I was curious how you feel and if you plan to stay as a SWE or move into something else in the future?

    • @ajkoo52
      @ajkoo52  Рік тому +1

      Well WLB is all subjective to what you’re passionate about right? If you enjoy what you do 50-60 hrs could be okay. For me, I’d say being a SWE is a platform for bigger and better things, but it’s not something I am looking to do for over 10 years.

    Hi, this is Mr. Ali Raza from Pakistan.
    I am a teacher in Public Sector. But I have done BS Computer Science. I think, I am a struggler in programming. I need to seek few pieces of advice from you. What line of action did you pick to get this position. I am also looking forward to getting hired in NY or Canada or any other place. But can you guide me how to practice and what to practice getting this sort of position the way you are working at the moment.

  • @SwiftReflexHD
    @SwiftReflexHD Рік тому +2

    I was actually curious about how you reached the position you're in. I'm graduating in a month with a BS in Computer Science and I am personally very interested in pursuing a SWE career. That being said, a lot of references seem to be pessimistic about the amount of opportunities available and the chances of people getting these positions, especially with the rise of AI capability. How did you reach the position you're in, in other words, was it all about getting the best grades in school, did you work on multiple projects, or have you had multiple internship experiences? I am very curious to learn about the effort put into obtaining the opportunity to work for such a large company.

      @ajkoo52  Рік тому

      There is a path to continue your engineer career as a SWE or at a certain point you can go on the managerial path. Either direction isn't bad, but there are more ranks that starts opening up for the managerial position. For the engineering path it only goes as far as a Distinguished Engineer at Walmart.
