Thanks for watching! I'm hiring US college undergraduate interns for RateMyDorm.com:
Campus Marketing Intern - forms.gle/xcn5sXxpdxBogse48
Social Media & Content Creation Intern - forms.gle/a1vkyYxxZwTmYe1AA
UI/UX Intern - forms.gle/fTqCuSFfgKq286QP9
Love the video! It's a request could you please make a video where you teach us how you take your cinematic shots and what camera settings you use. It will be a huge help to aspiring creators who want to shoot video's like you do.
Is the ability to be an ambassador still possible?
no engineering intern
This guy can finally hang with Elliot lol
will you be hiring for software developers in the future?
*jedcal* is low key becoming a visionary for people in the 18-24 age group
yes!! so inspiring
it’s amazing to see ratemydorm grow from just an idea to this expanding phase. Would love to see those short form videos from rmd!
Jed ur videos are just chef's kiss, honestly videography, content, editing, the way you put it together everything perfect, just perfect down to the last detail. 100% prime Jed content.
Means a lot 😢🙏
You should edit for people . I agree your quality is unreal💯💯💯
I love the term 'casual creator' that's honestly what I would want to be as well, rather than a full time creator/influencer. I am so excited to continue to follow along your journey Jed. RateMyDorm is so cool, and you are just such a relatable person and inspiring creator🙌🏻
as a recent new grad I totally get it… job hunting has been a nightmare! Happy to hear you’ve been making the best of it tho! 🤩
the moment you played that piece from la la land... i was astounded... you're something else jed!!!
I really admire that you are doing what you're intrinsically passionate about. I've recently realized I got stuck in the loop of doing things because they seem good from the outside, not because I'm intrinsically inspired by them. I want to pick up piano, work out, and do things just because I'm interested in doing them.
I've also been looking at new jobs the past few months and I agree it's been tough, so much competition out there. Love that you're leaning into your strengths and building out rmd! I find the updates interesting and it's cool to hear about the growth as it happens!
I'm going thru the tough job hunt cycle in software dev as well, good luck out there all the same! While I'm not vlogger nor seek entering the youtube space, its important to balance out the hobbies and interests as well-- careful with the burnout! It's easy to feel that the job hunt is hopeless, but all it takes is one!
Honestly I think that's a perfect idea for RateMyDorm. I remember when I was applying to colleges I would constantly search UA-cam for dorm tours. That personal touch from actual students showing off how they designed their room is what I wanted to see as a prospective student at least. Best of luck, Jed!
Thank you!!
I like the direction you are going in, very refreshing and also exciting to see you build this!
Good luck Jed! I hope you’re able to build up RMD and also find a suitable job! I enjoy seeing your job hunt and other dev experiences!
So happy and proud of you Jed with all the new ideas you’ve got for RateMyDorm- excited to see it pick up more and I think it would be so cool honestly too if you did some of the tours yourself. It would be so great cause you’re such a personable individual- I’m sure we would all love to see it.
That's a nice idea. I'm sure Rate my dorm will be successful. All the beat ✌
Keep being super transparent, its keeping us all around no matter what choices you make
I like the way you are smiling lately, that shows you are living your best life now😊. Good luck with that 👍
Congrats on the Colin & Samir feature! Have you considered roles in DevRel / Developer Advocacy? It'd be a nice mix of your skills in both coding and creating content
Thanks! I’ll look into that!
We wish you all the best with job hunting. I know a good opportunity will come along. Don't lose hope.
I completly agree with the fact that youre one of a few people who do lifestyle vlogging with a cs direction. Cant wait to see more content and the direction you head into. Best of luck
🙏🙏
You are an amazing person my man! Greetings from Greece! Building a startup is an amazing journey and we would definitely be interested in watching you build this thing!
Dorm tours is a great idea! Will definitely pop off!
Wish u a lot of success with swe jobs, Rate my Dorm, and life in general!!! 🎉
Hey man, thanks for your update. Best of luck, and don't give up.
Jed, this is a crappy time to be getting bank into software engineering. Keep your options open and be creative, as I know you can be. There will be a lot more competition out there because of the tech layoffs, and with the closing and handling of the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, we dodged a bullet. Good luck in your search. You seem very smart, talented and industrious, so you'll stand above the rest.
Hey Jed! You should consider mentoring aspiring creators! I am pretty sure that many people wold love learn you edit and brainstorm ideas!
👀
More startup talk pls. I’m a college student building software for students too! Please keep it coming!!
Piano piece was immaculate
you seem a lot happier these days, good luck on ratemydorm!
move in vlog soon
I LOVE THIS SM!!! great stuff Jed!! leading in this creator space! passion and purpose > producing content
You are a very smart guy! Love your idea of using a social media platform for rate my dorm. I think this will really boost interest!
I hope so! Thanks!
Best of luck! Rate My Dorm seems cool and a little old school in a nostalgic wholesome and helpful kind of way. Just make sure the 30 brand ambassadors you hired represent a diverse group of people (ages, ethnicity, US and international students, income levels, majors, etc). That way it’s not just the same kinds of people focusing on the same aspects of a dorm.
Thanks for inspiring us, Jed! So great to see someone your age being so clear with your vision! Keep growing, keep glowing!
I haven't had any fun lately, 😭 so it was fun. You bring me joy!❤🙂I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. ❤I like the essence how you live on. I need to be true to myself and find a job I am passionate about. I want to find a way to live as who I really am.
Love the content and channel. Much continued success and happiness 💪💪👑👑 Hope you have a lucrative 2023. Refreshing to see young bright minds still conquer the World 🌎🌍
Hey! I've been watching your vids for a short while now and I really enjoy your casual but intentional approach. Im excited to keep watching.
You are so inspiring, Jed! Support you chasing your dream "Ratemydorm", and I will go after my dream too! Thx!
Absolutely love the direction you're taking ! Can't wait to see your next video !
Jedcal. Not a student but have been watching your videos since LA and just wanted to give you props for what you're doing. I am in tech as a software Product Manager myself and see the potential for RMD even beyond ads from reviews or the dorm room content (which is a great idea btw).. I have a few of them but over time you can build things like ecommerce affiliate integrations so students can buy apartment related goods for their dorm. Also, there are mobile app related opportunities too since you have a critical mass of students in one place..
yo thank you!
Been subscribed to you when you had 10k subscribers. Seen all your youtube phases and let me tell you, this is the what JedCal content looks like. Thanks for all the motivation and good vibes !
that's awesome thank you man
As someone who’s in her early 20s, fresh out of university, and currently applying for jobs, I’m finding your content quite comforting💕
Wishing you the best as you find your way through the corporate world 🔥🌸🥰
It's much easier to go search for a career when you have a regular income from another stream, eg. UA-cam. You aren't in a rush to find anything so can pick and choose. The struggle is real as you try to build a YT presence.
I like that you actually show NYC in your vlogs
Just thought you would want to know I'm just watching your content and progression because I think you are a cool dude. I'm very interested in learning to code, you inspire me! I think it's cool what you have done by simply becoming interested in filming with your camera. It's all interesting! Keep it up!
loved from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
The dorm tour shorts is smart asf. Great way to grow
your voice is so chill, please make more listenable content. Maybe a pod?:) luv u.
I love your editing style! Definitely an inspiration to a mini content creater/cinematographer. 😊
sweet idea for rate my dorm growth! excited to see the play out
you inspire me to become a more productive person. thank you for that
Jed playing Mia and Sebastian’s theme is top tier
short-form dorm tour videos is genius 🤯. i remember the days when youtubers would do dorm tours that’d get a gajillion views. also i hope that as you scale you stop using firebase lol
What should I use instead??
Genius social media idea. Good luck man!
Tbh you have a product that has a very big potential, i think you should've started with marketing and promoting it heavily and see the response and then go up with a decision
As a beginner UX designer who’s also studying in school right now, I’ve felt struggles of getting entry level positions, with hundreds of applications, only a few interviews, and no jobs. I know I don’t have the expertise or experience but it’s tough to even get the foot in the door anywhere rn
Update?
this week has been tough for some reason, but the clip of you playing the piano really helped me recenter my attention and realize that despite life's struggles, there's always something to be happy about. good luck with your projects!
yep, felt the same
:’))
@@jedcal it reminded me I haven't played the piano for about a month, I was playing everyday! Thanks for showing that clip!
@@jedcal what's the name of the piano model? :)
Jed really is very inspiring creative creator✨🤍
You inspire me to become a more productive person, keep doing bro
Add the Canadian Schools! I promise it will be successful. There is nothing like this in Canada and it would be so helpful.
Will be cool to look back on the progression!
I’m glad I watched til the end even though it’s past my bedtime because I would love to intern for rate my dorm. I’m pretty good at both marketing and UX/ UI design if I do say so myself. Definitely emailing you!
Thank you for making this video, people aren’t talking about it enough how bad it is trying to find a job right now from the recession, companies laying people off (not just tech which is sad), and then this inflation is wild and the market is just terrible. It’s like everyone is fighting for jobs right now 😢
let's go Jed is back :D
Love it, keep up the great work I wish you much success Jedcal 💪
Hafa Adai 🤙🏽
Love this one bro ❤
Hey jed , lots of love from India ❤❤❤
That city of stars pianooo
Jed - have a look at Grace Beverly, who started as a lifestyle UA-camr and then started her own startup. 👌🏻
Keep the fire under you going !
SO glad you're uploading frequently, and I'm here for it! The sponsor segment was a missed opportunity. Shawn could've asked you "What song are WE listening to?"😂😂
Hahaha dang what a missed opportunity
Lalaland piano ❤
it would be cool for this to expand over into the UK
Your visuals are beautiful as always :)
BRO I JUST USED RATE MY DORM TO LOOK AT DORMS FOR MY COLLEGE IN BOSTON THAT'S SO COOL THAT YOU MADE IT!!

Nice that you picked UC Berkeley there is definitely a market there
You should also make text to speech reddit story style videos of funny or unique reviews.
Good luck on the start up!
Amazing
this is a cool idea. wish you all the best.
La La Land soundtrack is a great choice to learn on piano
Looking forward to next week. ❤
Go to the schools and see if you can get students to sign up and give a review of their dorm!
Yes, new video!
