I mean, we all now this job is not a 9 to 5 one. All the day in life of a swe videos on YouTube make it look like a perfect job. They all sit there relaxed and (like they were scrolling on Facebook) do the work. Check ✔️ the work done at exactly 8 hours. Where is the stress, where are the energy dr...Read more
Due to stress of working at Amazon I saw a psychiatrist on the 31st of March. She later sent me an email to my gmail with the list of things I can do to reduce stress. Today YouTube is only showing me ads of prescription medication which I can use to treat depression. Ad tech companies are truest ...Read more
I’m just sitting on my couch watching YouTube while I stress about all the things I have to do.
All I think of is work, even over the weekend, the stress of unknowns keep bothering my mind even at the times I am not working. Stress levels have become really high. I am unable to focus due to this high stress at times and ends up wasting time on youtube or video games, which inturn further incre...Read more
And i feel so much better. Youtube is very addicting (i don’t do facebook or instagram and youtube is my only digital addiction) and i have been spending about 3 hr daily on it on my phone. I already have dry eye issue and staring at my small phone for that long is not great. Now that i have survi...Read more
I am working on some really really dull stuff that's slow to progress and needs coordination with multiple teams. I end up watching YouTube in the downtime.

Hi people, I am facing a lot of competition in my team and unable to grow in my career. Switching companies will be an option, probably a year from now(waiting for i140). Until then, I would have to continue working here. Every day, I wake up a lot of stress, and it has started affecting my persona...Read more

How do I escape from it and go back to...Read more
NeetCode bro, you make the best LC vids, and I also like your life story vids like how you'd worked for Amazon but quit shortly due to stress and etc. But bro, you used to be L4 at Google, probably making like 300k. Now you're probably like making 50k from your YouTube ads and your NeetCode courses...Read more
Can being to busy as a software engineer be an excuse for not having time/energy to do sports? I count a 10 minutes workout from youtube as sports also. Motivation for doing sport in this case is to have more energy (I hope I am not talking stupid things) and reduce stress.
So, I know, this might come as a surprise but I have too much time. To a point where I'm going mad with the emptiness I work 6-8 hr a day, go to gym, enjoy video content, call up family, cook daily, get 6-7 hrs of sleep and am still left with so much time. What is it that everyone else is doing tha...Read more
Role: SWE-SRE TC: 225k CHF I have a choice between Google Ads, Google Cloud and YouTube for SRE-SWE. Which team should I pick if I prefer: a) Faster promos b) Good work life balance c) Learning I’ve worked in Azure and it was a shit show in terms of WLB and extremely high competition for promos,...Read more
For some reason, let’s say, I am opening an email. My heart starts jumping, almost like I am scared to open an email or I am on bated breath, waiting for the YouTube video to continue playing. For some reason, my heart keeps jumping up right before I’m about to do something that I know it’s going t...Read more
For those (data scientist, sde, analyst) have exposure to disturbing contents, wonder how much of the exposure is (daily, weekly, occasionally), and if you experienced great degree of stress as results from it. How do you feel about your work in general? NOT asking content moderators who moderate co...Read more
Youtube popped some road rage videos, got me thinking, have you ever been in a petty fight? Like in Road rage/ fight with neighbor/bar fights. Fight which has turned more than disagreement like shouting, swearing or hand combat? If so details? Growing in India I have been in few. So happy all thos...Read more
My husband has recently started to buy and sell options on an everyday frequency , obsessively listening to some investment guru on Youtube and plays with his set of savings in stocks on Robinhood based on that.

For people who are going through a lot of stress might understand me better. I have been trying to start interview prep, but been going through a lot of stress.

I'm guessing these kind of people wouldn't be lurking here, but worth a shot. I'm thinking in terms of the FI part of FIRE, doing a job that you're passionate about without stressing about the money (if your passion is genuinely software engineering, more power to you). Lowkey thinking of quitting...Read more
My atmosphere at work is pretty chill. I have nice colleagues and there is zero pressure from my boss. The problem is that I grew up in a strict family, and being punished for even small grammar mistakes in childhood grew into a huge perfectionism, fear of failure and impostor syndrome in adulthood ...Read more
