What's it really like working as an engineer in a luxury car company? Is there big money to be made? And do engineers have work-life balance? To find out, I met up with my good pal, David, who works as an engineer for one of the world's biggest car brands 👌
From Tesla and Elon Musk to Tim Cook and Apple, engineers are some of the richest, most powerful business leaders on the planet. But I wanted to know what it was like just starting out in a career at these innovative technology companies 🤔
So yeh - this is what working for Mercedes or Porsche, Land Rover or Tesla is REALLY like. David explains everything from his daily routine as an engineer to how car companies go from having an idea for a new car to bringing that to market. I found this a crazily informative conversation and learnt so much about what engineers actually do day to day, so I'm super excited to share this with you 🙌

About Me
I'm a trainee lawyer, part-time CZcamsr, son, brother, startup founder, boyfriend, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)!
Around that I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this CZcams channel 😀
Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.

Hey, Great video! I'm an electronics and communication engineer myself, and I think, no matter the work you do (Engineering, or law)... there is always a balance between personal productivity, team building, social interactions, general productivity. And I really look up to you guys and how you balance all of it! Kudos! :)
Thank you Pranav, and thanks for sharing that - 100% agreed that balance can be tough no matter what you’re doing for work! 😊🤗
Great Video! I am an Italian Management Engineer and I was waiting for a video like this for a long time. Not expected from you but luckily I already was a follower. Thank you!
Great video mate, keep posting varied content, specially on careers!
I really enjoyed this video!!! So cool to see careers outside your core competency.
Liam, was just part of the Clifford Chance work experience today. Pleasant surprise to have you present a segment. You're honestly motivating, thanks. 🤣🤣
Amazing! Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed the session 🤗
This was super interesting! Thank you Liam, I don't always write a comment but I always enjoy your content!🤗
I love the different prospective you brought into this video from what you do on a day to day basis
Thank you Demetri!!
Love your videos waiting for more of your vlogs ⚡
Very interesting insights. From my perspective, it seems like this salary for engineers is pretty low in the UK. In Germany, for example, they start around €60-65k in big companies.
Thank you! Yep - I think it is probably a little lower than much of the world, at least at the very start of your career, but also better hours 😝
@@themintandbeanI think most ppl would prefer to live in Stuttgart than in Coventry 😂
Engineer here, got 2 years of experience and left to attend law school haha
I’m in the same boat lol did 1 year of engineering planning to switch to law this year
@@Allwin-lz6yji did 1 year of automotive engineering and switched to finance, still don’t know what to do with my life, if I should return or stay in my current path, why did you quit? Any advice?
@@walterwhite6216 i just wasnt satisified with engineering and didnt enjoy it one bit, my advice would be do something u will like learning about
@@Allwin-lz6yj I find both careers mid but finance is easier so I don’t know
Enjoy your videos, Liam. Keep up the Good work!
Love from Dubai
Thank youuuuuu
How do you schedule your videos to cover time zones? What I mean: where you film when you are at your best AND it will show, no matter the time anywhere.
Incredible Idea
Great video!!
Excellent video. Thank you!
This was so interesting!
fantastic video
Hi Liam, does it matter what law school you graduate from to be employable?
We r doing a practice case for an online internship about you being an influencer for a business we are taking over 😂
Edit: I now realise u were a part of it I was so hyped when u came up😂
I like what you are doing
The reason for this question; Bermuda has time zones, West and East Bermuda ( or the Bermuda Triangle, 😏). Britain set it up this way, I'm still not use to it. and it will take time.
You can tell he loves his job. That is the part you got jealous of.
heyy

Do lawyers actually earn more than engineers? There was no mention of how much a lawyer makes as reference to an engineer in the video. I would really like to know.
In the UK, generally, yes - work-life balance is likely to be worse than an engineer, but after 3 years, an engineer probably expects to earn £35,000-£60,000 and a lawyer £50,000-£140,000
@@liam.porritt Thanks for your reply. How does consulting factor into all of this? You mention this in the video.

Why is there a picture of Elon Musk about the day in the life on engineers? He pays people to let him say he's one then scribbles on lunch napkins, he's an embarrassment.
everybody involved here are businessman. Engineers are way worse
