I think you should know there is a fake Joma tech profile commenting below with some WhatsApp number. No that you can do anything about it but I thought maybe you can feel bad for a while.
I thought this was funny a year ago, but now that I've been working in big tech for 4 months now I finally understand this video to its fullest extent. It's accurate in so many ways haha
Yeah as an engineer who actually makes things for a living this routine was infuriating. And I was in the office half the time. Our remote systems barely worked, nothing got done, I wanted to scream.
@userJohnSmith Definitely makes me miss the good ol' days when I worked for a small company and just got engineering work done without most of the same overhead, but I definitely don't miss the pay haha
As a former professional graphic designer, the client meeting is spot on. I worked directly with CEOs so much that it was part of the reason I changed my career xD
I'm in infosec and whenever we have a critical incident we have to involve our infosec vp and CISO and CIO. I hate interacting with senior management. I'm almost to the point where I'd rather live in a tent.
IKR! I was just replying that I had a 6 month sabbatical. And hearing all this crap made me instantly feel my heartrate and blood pressure go up and frustration and anger boil in my veins. Maybe I need to not sign the next freelance contract and extend my sabbatical by 6 more months. And after that become a handyman or something. I’m so fed up with IT!!!
As someone who's interested in this career path currently studying cs(bachelor's) I'm curious why you decided to quit(if personal reasons, you may just ignore the question)
@@dilnozaazamatova4363 I left the data scientist job because in my country (Thailand), most of the companies (both employer and client sides) do not let the data scientists do the "real" data scientist job. Instead, they expect something that data analyst or data engineer would provide. This is because their data in the company is not ready for machine learning, or they do not truly understand ML, and incline to see more understandable products, like dashboard or report. When I was data data scientist, I spent most of the cleansing the data, which is why now I've changed my job to a data engineer.
only is CS majors have the right to find a job anywhere, without the visa hassle, most jobs at home sucks but in US, some actually are good, only to find out in the description "fuck off NO VISA sh#t"@@peteintania
@@peteintaniasame thing in my country, funny thing is that they EXPECT you to know ML as Data Scientist, and yet you literally never use that knowledge in the actual job, it’s basically a Data Analyst with different name.
@peteintania The border between data scientist and data analyst is unclear. Things like regression are still count in traditional ML, so you still being a data scientist if we use the wide definition.
Interest rate is currently at 4.75%(8th rate hike since March last year) Inflation at 7% and mortgage rates is at over 7.5% but yet minimum wage remains the same and my retirement portfolio has suffered tremendously these past years, so my question is how do senior citizens retire and live off such unstable economy. The long term game is obviously not for me at this point.
In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using it well
@@Victoriataylor5668 sincerely, I’m truly inspired by your words. I’m very interested in investing and I have got a good sum of money which I’m ready to put in with the right information. My biggest fear is losing my money on the wrong investment. For this reason, I’m willing to listen to your suggestions and ideas on how to invest wisely.
first of all to anyone reading all of the first 4 replies are bots, second of all dont risk your investments. save 30-50% if your income (if you can) and put it into the s&p500. it is not hard to do this and literally every billionaire you think of off the top of your head will agree with me. do you really want to risk your life saving because you think you're the next warren buffet or just live a stable life for the rest of your life?.
@@victord8866 Lol I'm assuming you were intending to use those data points so the software could help them adjust their company so they could manipulate the rotation rate after learning the discrepancies of promotions/salaries? Meaning at what rate individual employees quit or get fired in order to anticipate/ automate the hr/management teams department to either hire or adjust salary's to keep a preferred result. lol sorry I'm not an engineer but I find it amazing. Actually horrible at math but find the application brilliant. Would love to code one day.
@@jonathananderson7990 That's a rather tautological and periphrastic way of putting it, but you're sort of right. The promotion/salary data allows you to build the data points you'd base your model on. Other data categories should be included, but it is common knowledge that those are standard predictors for whether employees try harder or quit. What's funny is that they were asked to predict staff rotation specifically (employees moving to and from specific jobs), and yet they weren't given any data on employee promotions which literally tells you which jobs they were moved to and from. That's like me telling you to build a prediction model on how much ice cream I can expect to sell to my current customers in the future, and then refusing to give you the amount of ice cream I'm currently selling to them now.
Easy you make some random data & do ML with it. Makes the code run 50% slower but you did the job. Literally “stupid client request Oriented Programming”
It amazes how spot on he is with the meetings that are "super urgent" and everyone wants it to start on time only for them to not even pay attention or bothering asking any questions.
This is probably super common in most businesses; it emphasizes the importance of contributing to discussions and what not as to not waste everyone's time. It's a shame that this continues to occur at certain companies
Lmao I hate that. There's this really successful chain of restaurants in my city (80+ restaurants) i used to work for. They would tell us the exact opposite. "We are glorified fast food, but don't tell the customer that"
😄 Finally a comment about the setup. Scrolling the comments I almost started to feel that I'm the only one appreciating the setup. And the view, man, don't forget about the view.
I like how the ceo just knows talking points he probably read on reddit and has no concept of what blockchain and machine learning is. And I now know most programming errors are caused by to much cereal in the coding stream.
Props for the CEO of Blindr for offering such a well detailed and highly structured presentation to really outline his ideas and vision for the project in the greatest detail possible.
Dude I love the more realistic day in a life than many of the other ones. Not the stuff people portray, like 4 am meditation time and 5 coffee outings. Enjoyed the parody and exaggerations to make it interesting.
I like how honest you were. All these other “the day in the life” type of videos always have these wake up on time, make coffee, do a bit of “fun” work, make a delicious lunch, and so on.
@SpaghettiHands I would expect someone who does like 2 hours of actual work per day to get fired before long. No one is going to stay productive all day, but there's a huge difference between "not staying productive all day" and "hardly working".
I’m not an engineer by any means but I work in accounting, I can tell you how many times higher ups were like “make the budget happen” or just cut this what’s the problem. There is a problem Bill. It’s a lot of work on our team. Trying to explain finance to people is like explaining quantum physics sometimes. That part with the client, gave me flashbacks to people I deal with.
same thing happened to me earlier. Company cutted a team of four, their responsibility was to communicate between customers and workers. My god blessed higher ups think they are "useless" as the customers can just directly contact with our workers. And you know what happened next. Also I resigned after this shit.
This is painfully 100% perfect! Here's a tip. If you want to avoid someone on Teams, open a new Meeting and log in, just yourself. It may look like you are busy in a call with someone.
A tip for those suffering teams and outlook PTSD, if you are in a higher mid-level or senior position (basically cant be fired or its very hard), give your leads an ultimatum that you will be off all kinds of comms between say 11am and 5pm and if its urgent, they call your phone or whatsapp/telegram. Idk if its feasible in the states, but I'm a software developer in Bulgaria and I basically revolutionised the company by saying im gonna quit if I am forced to attend more of these stupid meetings (was sole developer on a complex component bought from a competitor). The company was a startup and quite flexible so they changed the whole methodology of working. No more than 2 hours of scheduled meetings per day for developers, disabling of email system and mandatory corporate chat offline time. Most days people dont even go to daily syncs bc we all have our work and we turn all comms off and focus. Its soooo much better
I do the slam-your-mouse-into-your-keyboard Which, kinda sucks cuz, I make custom keyboards as a hobby... But like. It isn't that big a deal with the mouse I guess
As a software tester and remote bioinformatician, I can verify this is 100% the most accurate documentary on RU-vid. Also that low-energy reddit chuckle at 4:15 earned you my sub, crying. 😂
@@selahattins1644 I admire your curiosity! There's a wide range of things a bioinformatician can find themselves doing. I think it falls into either 1) Use statistics to find patterns in biological/genetic data or 2) Create tools to improve existing methods and support researchers. I myself do #2, I enjoy designing software applications and making peoples lives a little easier. The applications for #1 are ENDLESS, here's a short list: -analyze gene expression data to determine what genes are associated with certain traits (like cancer or schizophrenia) -analyze variations in DNA to determine how likely it is a variant is contributing to a trait -put together DNA profiles of organisms that have never been modeled before (like certain monkey species or ancient DNA) -Develop a statistical method to determine how likely it is someone might contrive a disease or outcome based on their genetic/symptomaic profile (really useful for medical pre-scanning questionaries or genetic tests) The end goal of bioinformatics is to improve our ability to predict if someone will develop a deleterious trait, or to develop biological-based methods to treat deleterious traits. Most of the time this involves drug development, but with new gene editing technologies the possibilities are definitely expanding. I hope this helps!
I am in my last year of studying bioinformatics and I am so happy to find one in the wild hahaha! Never occured before. I would love to software test and do remote jobs as a bioinformatician later on. Do you mind sharing how you started looking for those kind of jobs/ any tips you have? I am absolutely nervous to start applying for jobs.
@@naomives96 I am a bioinformatics software engineer currently working remote for a cancer research hospital. The company I work for is open to hiring remote candidates. I am sure others are as well! I would not worry too much about it! For jobs I would check linkedin or a research branch of a hospital.
As a web designer and somewhat of a front end developer, this is 100% accurate. Especially the client facing call hahah. Client always switching things up, focused on all small and irrelevant things, says words that doesn't mean anything lol
With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
As a developer who's been in the industry for over 10yrs, I can say, _thank goodness_ for good project managers to buffer us away from that CEO client BS. Tip for anyone who manages engineers: Don't let them mix with your client CEOs unless they're particularly proficient in bullshittery. It'll only cause your company more problems when they call the company's CEO to yell at them because their engineer laughed outright at their blockchain-machine-learning-IOT feature. Nearly lost too many clients in the past due to fellow engineers (and even myself once) miscommunicating with a CEO. CEOs wanna dream, devs wanna get the thing done. Worst combination to throw together when reluctant. Great combination when working on the same side and understanding.
@@lorcster6694 Best to work for, but not necessarily the best at growing the business. We all want a Woz, but unfortunately the Jobs of the world generally have the lack of integrity necessary for massive growth.
Why are CEOs paid millions when they are just are just bullshit artists the people who actually get things done have to play pretend with like children?
the fact the he read programmers' memes at 4:15 lmao so relatable i love how realistic this video is lol (of course we can do and feel better but we all know those times...)
Hearing that Microsoft teams notification ping is so triggering, its like when you used to have a song as your alarm, and you’d hear it on the radio and have a mini heart attack
Can relate to that, goddamn triggering than my own alarm clock. Waking up in the morning with just a Ping instead of countless of snooze alarm. WFH guys...
This has actually happened, we were talking about starting a project and the guy just randomly mentioned how we should use machine learning, I knew I had to get out of that project.
Engineer here as well, but on mechanical design for an aerospace tech company. When I was working from home full time during Covid(we still work from home but it's only 2x a week now), whenever I had a late night, I'd only literally wake up on the first team meeting of the day which was around 1 hour after the actual time work starts and attend the meeting basically still half asleep for the first few mins and just comb my hair with the cam off cause of my usual bed hair until I turn it on after I fix it. Then I'd really only eat breakfast and do morning stuff after the meeting and come back to actually work after like another hour. So I basically just waste 2 hours usually before I actually start working which I'd also offset by only timing off until much later...which can be one of the reasons why I'd stay up late in the first place. It's an endless loop lol. Depending on how complex the design is though, I can usually just catch up pretty easy, just happened that most complex product designs usually can take months to even years to finish. Although we use Zoom for meetings, Teams has a notification for it and I basically have it at 100% volume with my laptop on standby mode, so it's basically my alarm clock lol. The good thing I say about our work culture was that after your shift ends, that's it you're basically free from work. Most of the time, managers understand your shift is done and won't bother you. There are some exceptions, but those are rather few and far between and would mostly occur once you're at a higher technical level where they need your skills, CND is near, or are part of the management team. The only time I experienced still working after shift/being called into a meeting was when I became a lead/focal engineer for a project, but most of the times outside that I'm very much free after work. But meeting frequencies really isn't an issue for me, it's more of dealing with directors, engineering managers, customer reps(usually engineers as well), even vps for departments and ceos, which I shit you not can be intimidating even in online meetings especially since we're in aerospace it has very strict standards with little room for tolerance(our customers are companies like Boeing, Airbus, government, and private airline companies). Which is the biggest reason why I keep declining any management offers that has been continuously given to me over the years ever since I got offered a supervisory role for my team a year before covid.
@@sidharthsunil7274 how long will it take to debug? And what specialization are you in? Like mobile app developer , software developer or machine learning? Please reply
Yep, it turns out I actually have severe anxiety from MS Teams notifications. PRO TIP: 1. go to Teams settings and select native system notifications. 2. go to sound settings on your OS, notification. 3. select a quick, soft sound for notifications, with a 100% volume of it, being actually decreased to 30% of the original. 4. after your day is over turn on Focus mode on your OS so no more annoying notifications. Regain your mental health! 🌿
I would recommend shutting down your work pc. If you do not have one shut down teams and any email or whatever program from work. If you still need teams for private usage then set up a docker/vm or whatever just to physically/virtually divide your work from your private time. Also change job if your boss expects you to be available for silly things after work
oh, thanks for your tip... when the teams notifications sounds were played in the video I was like "holy f*****g *s*** etc etc who tf is that and what he.... wait a minute, it's Sunday, my work laptop is hidden deep down in a drawer (yes I started to hide my work laptop in a drawer on weekends) so what is going on right now. Definitely try that pro tip of yours. Have an awesome day
It's mostly because of the slight delay in the video chat. It's worse again being in Australia and so many US-centric services. The 200+ms ping over the Pacific cannot be improved!
I watched my roommate at the beginning of Covid get paid 9 hours a day for 3 hours of work as an IT tech. I’m sure this is more work than usual for engineers.
That teams call sound at the end gave me some lightweight anxiety. Glad it's Friday! Gotta say, if tech sucks that bad, accounting is stressful too but most won't breathe down your neck when you're handling big bucks and need to make sure everything is perfect. The pay is pretty similar too once you hit manager level. Corporate controller and corporate VP level is pretty legit.
I'm not even a software engineer nor do I have anything to do with coding, but the useless meetings where no one pays attention, one hour of actual work per day and annoying notifications are probably a universal thing.
Conversation with client CEO was 100% accurate; actually really like online meetings precisely because we can pause our feed for a sec and have our breakdown & rage, then resume the process of pretending that the CEO actually has a functioning brain.
I'm going through the CEO situation right now. He wants me to create a presentation on CNN for him to speak about. I tried to explain how CNN works in a simple way, but he still thinks it's too complicated.
Your job reminds me of my moms at home marketing insurance job. The idea of making stuff work without much help and human obstacles really resonates with me and I thought this video was well done. Thank you
I work in cyber, 100% remote, and this video is so accurate it hurts, haha. I have encountered basically all of these situations. I'll definitely be coming back and re-watching later, I had several laugh out loud moments.
I mean, the guy does not really care about what machine learning does, he just needs to be able to use it in his sales pitch! It could be learning tic-tac-toe for all he cares, as long as he can say "machine learning" to his shareholders Kinda like in the 2000's when any company with "X" and "com" in it's name would just sell better 😆
the level of accuracy is soo on point even to the point of frightening I forgot when I should laugh because I'm feeling scared and uneasy, and sometimes had to check if it was really my Team notification
It is quite different from my experience. My experience is customers are usually in the wrong time zones and they will set up meetings after meetings at like 5am.
As an introvert engineer who works best when left alone and in my zone but has had to work in person every single workday of covid, I honestly envy this.
@@djorgs But you know like machine learning and AI super cool right? I know we are just a company using shopify but will be good right? Hope you have it for the next meeting bye
Yup. Clients want us to make something that does their job and they still expect to get paid for it. I'm like dude if I knew how to analyse the data I might as well do your job. My job is to give you the data, not to analyse it.
I dunno how I’m just finding this video now. I’m not a coding engineer, but I am an IT technician and the part with the CEO was nailed down perfectly! Heads of companies hearing hot new technology terms and want to somehow integrate them into their products and businesses. When oftentimes they’re asking you to make a circle fit a square and they aren’t taking no for an answer. 🙄
Everything depicted in this video is so true. Especially the part about people messaging you in the evening. With work from home people think the workday pretty much never ends and it's okay to just message someone at 9 pm to get some issue fixed.
Very true. I think it's crucial for people to just tune out after 5:00-5:30 (or whenever your day would normally end). Working endlessly does not make you more productive, just less happy. I fell into the "work till 9pm" trap early on in the pandemic and it made me exhausted. At some point I made the conscious choice to never work past 5:30, no matter what, no exceptions. My life is so much better as a result.
Yeah you have to stop that shit now. We should work less because we are more efficient but we are working more sorry that is the wrong way. You live your best years at work so think about that. Nobody ever said on their death bed I wish I could have worked more.
Oh my gosh, I was completely absorbed for the whole 8 minutes of this, and I couldn't be happier I found your video. Great job man, you deserve a raise. Go tell your boss I said that.
This basically summarizes the vibe one year into lockdown. Also, if you're a student you will often unironically schedule meetings at 8PM since it works for everyone.
This is exactly what it's like to be a virtual assistant! 😂 I'm pretty sure I've been in more than a few Zoom meetings where the client was more focused on the cat video on their phone than my brilliant proposal. And don't get me started on the whole "Blinder" vs. "Blinder" debacle. My brain hurts just thinking about it! 🤣 But seriously, I love that this guy's willing to embrace the chaos of remote work. It's relatable and hilarious!
This is absolutely accurate. After COVID (2020) workplace just because like this. I saved enough money and left my job because of this bewildering environment where no one really knows whats going on. Im now contracting and its been a blessing
This was like a Black Mirror episode to me. I know it’s satire, but the amount of people commenting that it largely hits home is just crazy to me. As an EMT, I could not imagine spending my days like that. Just a different world. The money may be good, but I’d go insane.
I'm not an engineer at all. I'm a pricing guy but this is still extremely relatable as a work from home employee and someone who has to operate very independently. Even the meeting with the client CEO is relatable. I just deal with BD and sales people who have hairbrained ideas and don't understand the numbers and data or proposal I put in front of them.
I used to write massive emails for our sales people anticipating the data questions that clients would ask them so that they could either forward my email on to them or refer to it in their call to the client.
