A lot of y'all have been asking: yes, I got new job offers. I usually like to be fully transparent on my channel but there's too many people going through tough times right now, including friends of mine. Don't feel like it's the right time to talk about my offers and numbers and stuff. So I won't talk about the details of it for now, sorry for the curious ones out there, but maybe in the future. Hope things get better and stay better for all of us ♥ On the bright side, job search is done, school is almost done as well, a new chapter begins🦒 Secret link 👀: www.ndex.gg/
Love this kind of content. I'm in the middle of getting ready for my future job interviews as a UX Designer 😬 You're inspiring a lot of tech students. I'm so glad all your hard works have paid off.
as someone who's into self-improvement and also cs, this was a refreshingly unique and insightful video! always love your content and the new little things you try out :)
I really loved this different perspective in your video Pan. I was sooo exhausted and tired during job search, interview and leetcoding - I literally isolated myself, from everything humanely necessary to keep a person 'sane'. But now since AI is chomping away at our jobs and I have developed backpain - I realized 'being successful doesn't mean a FAANG 400K job'. Its more about doing something that is meaningful to you and everyone you care about. I followed your videos regularly and kept myself motivated as such, to never give up and dream big. And now seeing, the struggle you are having securing a job - I feel, I'm just a drop amongst all the great programmers around me. So, I stopped stressing and appreciated all the little things I have achieved. When I look back at me, 5 years ago vs now - I feel really proud of myself and I believe I can do good in the future too. And if noobF like me can be hopeful - believe me, dont stress and take a break till now. And instead of Pallet Town and Squirtle - maybe next time you play Pokemon, you'll start in 'Littleroot Town' with a little 'Torchic' (I loved that littol chicken tho :D) - and thus everything will turn out to be ok. Keep the Grind going - but not on LeetCode, but on your Personal Happiness. - the guy who took a selfie with you in ConUHacks 2023
Great video. I'm new to the channel and really enjoy your humor in your videos. I think the grind never stops honestly because I'd like to be the 5% that isn't in the 95%. Thanks for your unique perspective and glad you found a job and the job hunt is finally over! Honestly I really related to the Pokémon reference about earning those gym badges and then having to start over, but I think it's important to note that every job experience is different and you'll always have something unique about each one, so it's good to have a optimistic outlook, no matter how many times you do them. Anyway great video, thanks again!
It also comes down to what you define as success. If you define your success as just being happy, having a lot of time to spend on personal things and spending time with friends, it also helps to reduce pressure - at least for me.
Love your new outlook. I’ve very much been feeling this way aswell. I shifted my focus from SWE to UI/UX Which I get so much more fulfillment from and will do development on the side for my designs. I honestly think society should focus more on fulfillment rather than productivity.
What a cool video!! I love it! Great editing, great message, cool Pan, cool Daniel! And yeah... Sometimes life feels less meaningful than in stories, everything seems to be "easier" in modern life but it's a lie.
The second half of that video definitely hit differently. I've been lucky (for now) to transition from 100% tech recruiting to marketing and executive roles, but I definitely feel for everyone. Post-mass layoffs (my company got rid of over 40% of the staff) it just feels kinda empty. Everything is so slow and it feels a little inevitable that I'll be next.
I just binge watched practically all your videos while self-studying college algebra. You make some good stuff bro! I just graduated high school this past week and will be pursuing CS in college. I have very limited CS exposure as I have only taken AP Computer Science Principles. I also don't remember anything from that class as I took it a year ago. But I am going to spend all of summer learning basics of CS via RU-vid lectures and projects and studying math (College Algebra and Pre-cal). I'm low-key scared/nervous about starting college since I'm not very good at math (at all...) and since I am very new to CS. However, your videos were actually really inspirational and made me feel a little less nervous! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Knew you could do it Pan! I'm happy that you are who you are because you are able to articulate this internal struggle, that we all share, so well. It makes tech bois like me hopeful that there's something more to life than this, and you captured those feelings perfectly
Just a few months ago, I wanted to just to psychology as a career and didn't ever consider anything else. But since then I've been doing a lot of coding, and started to want to have a job for one of these big tech companies. Now I think that I do want to do that, and eventually want to leave and try making my own tech start-up eventually, just so that I don't miss the opportunity to try it out. I would call any of these options being successful, however I also think that it's important to try and become more successful all of the time, so you always have something to work for
I really liked this video.. very sneako-esque. And that last line about ego is something i really needed to hear cuz I've been coping about my master's as well. Ive been getting in some decent places but not the top institutions that i expected but this video gave me some good perspective!
i just started school again but i dont really feel motivated to go. I feel depressed and that my life is a simulation lol but here a I am, just trying to go to university as if nothng happens and everythng's all right even tho in the inside im crying T T Thnx pan, your videos are always inpiring and funny :)
Nice effort for this new type of video Pan! It was very interesting to stick to the end (of the integration too, of course). Glad you got the job, hope we'll hear more about that in future vids😉
My exam is in about 50 days and i'm so depressed that i don't want to even try but this video motivates me do so, even though i don't reach my expectations . I'm going to try. Thank You Pan.
as Harry Truman once said: “I felt like the moon, the stars and all the planets just fell on me”. so I did when I realized I have been wasting my time since I was born almost 18 years ago, and that I am the one responsible for my own life; my own failure. time never comes back, it will echo throughout my existence, and I cannot even start over since I have never made progress. I condemned myself to be ordinary, but I’m still seeking what I consider success (somehow), even though I feel the weight of my past reflecting on my future. I’m trying to live like I know I’m dying, and everyone is - that’s what matters the most to me
Glad to see you kept ur sanity LOL (PS. To measure your success, you have 1) your accomplishments and 2) the quality of your relationships with others). The balance of those two is how I gauge self-worth
Man I'm so proud you didn't give up brother. Great hustle! Excited for what's to come. By the way, I really liked this video man feels really good to see someone talking about this.
I'm gonna take ds&a class next term and I realize how difficult it is to get an intern without learning that. if i remember correct u get ur fb offer while u r still taking that class right? how did u make that?
pan says he has a difficult time right now but he has his money making channel dude. its not like do or die scene for him right now, i kinda feel bad for those who dont have this golden parachute and lost there job or didnt get one in the first place
