I Lost My Job... Again (for real this time) 

Sup guys, I present to you the greatest Christmas gift I have ever received. I will be live on Twitch (www.twitch.tv/fryingpanlive) during the subsequent days to interview prep, come say hi :) Merry Christmas y'all, make sure to spend time with your families

Stay strong dude! Two of my friends on f-1 visas got their offer rescinded and basically have until graduation or they will be sent back to their country. And trust me, these were two of the most dedicated students I have ever seen, I have never seen them cry but the day one of them got their offer rescinded my heart sank.

I'm pissed off about what they did to you I'll keep rooting for you

Diamond 1 huh? That's the kind of determination that you need for this career. Good luck on the job hunt! You'll make it. Don't worry

Good luck Pan!

Last year I was in the same situation as you were,but it wasn't from meta though. The situation was clearly the same.

I feel you Pan. I lost Deloitte. We all good man. We gonna be fine. Merry Chritmas

Ho ... i'm in strategy but dude, may be you could try Europe ?!

The return offer was a prank? How's that? Who did it?

and... what happened to your coinbase offer that irrc wasn't rescinded when they had layoff?

e-begging🤣

Don’t get discouraged dude! You are not the only one who has experienced this! Many people got laid off during the holiday season. You just have to keep applying! Companies are still hiring in Q1 because they have finalized their hiring budget for 2023.

If Meta wanted you full time, I have no doubt you’ll find a job in no time. Good luck to you!

sorry to hear this Pan, but one day I really believe you'll look back and be thankful it happened cuz i guarantee it'll lead you down a different, better path

I feel for you brother. I'm that annoying tech recruiter who's been following your journey since mid-way through college and hope only the best for you. My company has downsized 45% and it kills me how many SWEs I've had to call and apologize about their offers being rescinded. Love the transparency of your posts and wish our field was filled with more people like you tbh.

It's okay Pan, just stay positive! You're doing an amazing job. That startup doesn't sound much like a bad idea either. I'd invest some time into that, keep the power in your hands ya know. Also, congrats on 300k Subscribers!

Congrats on your gift🎅

Yo Pan, sorry you had to deal with that bullshit man. I just wanted to say during my backend web dev / data science bootcamp over here in South Korea, I showed my team ur "software engineer interns on their first day be like" video which made all of us laugh our ass off when we were going through hard times(we had to learn some wild machine learning concepts after 2 weeks of JabbaSCript lmao). I myself graduated college with no job offer lined up, and coming from a non CS background, breaking into tech was not a fun time. Now I'm working at a startup as a data analyst and it's certainly not Meta or Google, but I'm enjoying it so far as a first job and think it's fun to work with a mid-sized group of people also. So anyway, just hope you don't get too let down by this news brother and keep your head up :)

In Japan. Male hosts can make good money entertaining women.

its really unfortunate. but for most ppl who have been having this type hanging cloud in front of them for soooo long, at least getting the final answer is a relief.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job, but I'm sure that you can do even better than before once a company notices your efforts

Let's start a start-up we have a whole community of unemployed 🤡🤡🤡

Don't wait for big companies, go with your friends build the startup, you can still apply for jobs in big companies. Back story: i lost 6 months waiting a accepted offer.

Aah you will be fine) You're young, smart and have that "Meta" line in your CV. You have more chances to get great position than 99% of your viewers. Thats why we here: we wanna see it. Good luck!

Pan you are so cute 😍. If you live in my country girl will going crazy over you. You sould apply to be kpop idol instead

I’m a CS student in my last year and haven’t had an internship yet, I have a full time job complete unrelated to CS, I wish I could had that experience at least. Kudos to you bro.

No worries man, you've been grinding leetcode and the biggest thing: "You had the experience". Stay positive and keep applying to jobs later on. Merry Christmas! Btw I'm preparing for these technical interviews too...

Just an unemployed guy watching a video of another umemployed guy.

Pans RU-vid be like - Pan : I got internship Us : yee!! Pan : I lost my job Us : oh no! Pan : I got offer from fang Us. : Yeee Pan : I lost my job Us : nooo!! ...this continues!!

Experiences are experiences, and quit a job is an opportunity to a new journey, i wanna say that you are really commited and ik you will make it very far in life, I'm from Colombia and i kinda wasted 2 years at university where i didn't learn that much, but your videos inspired me and i started to focus on studying and studying more, rn i got into a big company and ik it's just the beginning and it's thanks to you, i love your content and how dedicated you are, full respect and love from Colombia

Hey Pan, I first saw your videos when your channel was at like 7-8k and have seen it grow since, been a discord member and all, but the point is, I got inspired from you, this time last year I started doing leetcode and in march got my 1st offer then second in june, I am not satisfied with those offers, still grateful got it, but will keep grinding hard, have my HSBC interview in Jan. Thank you for motivating me and lots other like me, sorry about your meta offer but let's keep trying hard and achieve our dream! All the best!

"I'm gonna have to ask you all to stop applying and interviewing until I get one first" I died laughing and finally subscribed.

you really 6'5 ? that's crazy bro, asians usually short af but maybe u one of the tall ones like Yao Ming

Good lol hit the gym buddy

Hey Pan, fellow meta intern here. Didn't get GE but got rescinded twice by other companies this season. The most recent rescind was 1 week before my December graduation date. Luckily, I was still in the loop with a ML unicorn company and ended up getting the offer right before Christmas. I can't say it's easy to pull of what I did but there are definitely still opportunities left. Maybe ask Bloomberg and see if they can give you the offer you turned down? (idk if u ended up getting their offer or not). Anyway, chin up, you got this. Worst case you can do masters or something and re-recruit for 2024 new grad.

This hits hard. A few months back I saw this video, and although I felt bad I was quite detached from your problem. Recently I just got my offer rescinded, and I literally don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t imagine recruiting again so I came back to this video to get some advice.

Ohh I'm so sorry dude! I feel ya, I got laid off as well from Meta (new grad swe in BootCamp lol). Good luck in your search! Greater things will come your way!

Hi -- fellow RU-vidr in the last year of my CS degree here. You should consider becoming a full time content creator and making more RU-vid videos. That's what I'm doing at least. Hope this helps. Cheers!

I know it might be a weird question but may i ask which keyboard layout do you use ?

Me: Moving to canada in may for masters to kick start my career🤡 Meanwhile: Canadians loosing jobs 😭

I work at Amazon and moved up the ladder a bit but one of my friends who was an L5 ended up getting scouted for a remote job by home depot and paid him 2x the salary Amazon was paying him. Stay positive! if you surround yourself with that, good things will come your way!

poor guy... merry christmas, hope you'll do well

Very unfortunate but I know you will end up somewhere amazing! You are a very big inspiration for a lot of us

Do you think having a youtube channel makes it harder for employers to higher you or want to higher you

You can be a uber driver

And I just read like an article saying many people get laid off or rejected around Christmas. Absolute bogus.

Ain't no fking way💀 I deadass watched the whole video till end only to see it was not a prank💀 don't worry sending positivity 🤜🏻

dude it's just a prank The prank:

“- 6’5, maxed out INT and CHAR” Twitch streamer?

I am a highschool senior who will go to college soon, but honestly this video made me to be scared of going to college and getting a job. I can definitely say this dude has good grades and as he said he had the best performances in internship, but he still did not get the job. After watching this video I am not sure if I could make it through college and stay strong with job application process. Adult world sounds so brutal and scary.

you accomplished a lot more than I did at your age...I'm still at my first job that I got back in May after a year of being unemployed after graduation from college (because lack of experience and I didn't get any internships during college unfortunately haha). but you are definitely smart and capable of getting a job despite what the economy looks like! I'm sure you will find a job that will be great in every way!

Don't worry Pan, these waves come and go, but your skills and experience are always with you. Don't take it personally, just wrong place at wrong time. I'm sure you'll come back stronger in no time!

Yo Pan, just want to say that your videos inspired me to apply for Meta as a SWE intern for last summer, cuz I thought that if a doofus like you could do it, so could I. And it was true, I managed to get into Meta's internship program last summer (in the Asia region, I'm not from the US). Jokes aside, I really wish all the best for you in your search. If a doofus like me could get a full-time offer somewhere else, I'm sure you could too.

Don’t you think it’s because you have a RU-vid channel?

great heros always share the same story. I will be fine! (woowowowooowoowo...)

stay strong! the perfect job is waiting for you

just apply for replacing the CEO of Meta, trust me bro int his position they want u. U just applied for the wrong position

Guys don’t worry, we should all know by know this is a challenge from the script writer to setup for Pan’s next video… “I got a $1million offer from the Illuminati”

You are an amazing developer Pan, I wish you the best of luck and success for you in the future

"Should have been top 1 code committer" - your mom.

As an Eng who was laid off this month. I feel you. Stay strong 💪

that help me sign :D. I´m sorry to hear about you losing your offer. there is really nothing pointless I could say, the best I could would offer you a job, but hah, I wish in that position. I find that kind of unfair that they let you know while knowing very well that the recruiting season has ended. really good luck and crossed fingers!

good luck for future bro , its down bad for me too but hoping to get something better next year

the shieeet got me dying eventhough its a serious vid

Highly conscientious and Humble < Diamond 1 in league - how is this guy still unemployed

This is a message from the universe that it’s time to drop your corporate job and be a FT youtuber

Lets force him into content creation. (Joking)

sucks dude. can always go somewhere not lame and corporate. we have 50 engineers at my place and it's awesome. great pay. cool coworkers. (I'm the director of engineering)

not every job has to be at some major high tech company, enough smaller (and better, probbaly more fun...) companies are hiring. with your experince you will be way more than fine. absolutely no doubt about that lol.

Forget interview prep! t's not you they hire who they want and layoff who they want. Factor in friends and family they hire!!! Young man welcome to the real world!! Good Luck to you.

Sorry to hear about this! Fellow software dev here, graduated in 2020 when this stuff went down as well. Honestly, I'm under the impression that you are very smart and capable, and once the economy returns for the better, I'm confident you will get another offer in no time. In the meantime, there are still options! There are freezes at big techs but there are still startup / mid-sized companies who are hiring, for example I know Figma and Databrick are hiring. Best of luck! I'm sure you will find a job if you just need to keep the lights on. Once the economy gets better you can get back to big tech ( if that's your goal ). Fingers crossed.

Do some Fiverr coding work as your job. Or instead of going for a big tech company, you could look for a smaller company. For example, i work for a small aircraft manufacturer, we employ a single programmer at my work that built up our entire manufacturing, inventory and quality systems and continually maintains it and adds or changes features (he probably wouldn't mind a 2nd person though). I'm sure there are other small companies that could use an in-house programmer to build up systems as well and maintain/change them. Granted a lot of companies probably just use some off-the-shelf systems made by other companies rather than building their own from the ground up.

you lost your job *offer* , not a job. you arent even working there now. let's just say meta is going down now. you might have dodge a bullet by not taking that job.

i think this is your 22nd time losing my job video

sad to hear that man. I'm in a similar situation. The only difference is I'm in the audit/tax field. These are tough times. Stay strong and good luck

I believed everything except the 6'5 part

Don't worry too much matey. I completely failed to sort myself out a job coming out of uni, tried to do a panic PhD which fell through and now three years later I'm a DevOps engineer at one of the most famous fashion houses in the world.

*that HELP ME in on the whiteboard, lol. Like ARE YOU IN DANGER? IF SO COMMENT A CAT EMOJI*

Pan, do you listen to the All-In podcast? It’s run by four top Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs and investors. You can get some very interesting insights from them regarding startups and everything related to the industry. I think everyone in tech should listen to this podcast if you want to be in the know. It’s also on YT check it out

Hey Pan, sorry this happened. I was wondering, didn't you have another offer on top of Meta?

Start looking at tier 2 companies, they are hiring a lot right now.

Good luck bro! Just stopped applying to jobs🤝💯

Thanks for making us depressed for Christmas

Man I hear the hurt in your voice, really sucks. Have you considered a state job?

I'm sorry to hear that this happened, but you're super talented and just need to find another team that would be lucky to have you. Happy holidays!

Not the "Help me" in the background☠️

just do content full time. you have 300k subscribers, you're gonna make it rain. No need to slog like the rest of the wagies.

You not alone man. I feel like im at the verge if being laid off too lmfao.

don't think much bro opportunities will present themselves love ya bro happy holidays

e-begging 🤣🤣

You'll get it dude ! You're an amazing profissional 🤩 I also lost my intership (company has broken),but then in 15 days I got another one ! You'll get it too !

sh#t situation, but its inspiring to see that you are not falling, as long as you are attempting and working towards a resolution this situation will eventually resolve. We are rooting for you, good luck! oh and happy holidays :)

Dude you are literally Ash Ketchum IRL. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Nobody really cares if your top whatever in whatever metric. We just like being entertained. Nevertheless hope your job search goes well.

Not a funny joke at all

Dammmittt Pan, now i gotta have “YO” stat on my resume too. No wonder meta offered you internship and rejected me.

I'm so sorry dude. That's so brutal.

A week ago I failed my first interview for a Junior .NET Developer position:(

Those stats are beyond epic insane. How can you beat max int and charm, diamond and 130wpm

Hey I've been following your channel for a few years now and I just want to say that your resume tips helped me a lot. Just curious are you going to keep applying to the states or try in canada? I am also based in Canada, had a few interviews for bay area companies but its super competitive right now. Best of luck and merry Christmas brother!

Look after yourself first bro, who hasn't failed hundred times to get their dream job? (Also you don't know if it is your dream job/company unless you are in it)
