Mekié bro
@@claytonabner4626 é dev?

Congrats on 20k I've been watching since day 1, your videos motivate me as a CS student. Also looking forward to more content and I wish you the best man. I'm looking forward to a stream someday maybe at 50k.
appreciate it bro, wishing you the best, lmk if I can help you out in any way, I'll definitely stream at some point

♥️
Love this man! Keep it going!
appreciate it bro 💙
Love your videos man
appreciate it man :)
Nice vid man!
Keep 'em coming!
appreciate it bro :)
Bro ngl this video felt so fast-paced and bit abrupt, but always good to watch your videos
appreciate the feedback man, i'll adjust accordingly
Loved the video. Wish it was longer.
appreciate it man, want to value your precious time but yes longer vids in future
Beautifully edited. Might consider a switch over from Data Science! Much love from London bro.
this industry it made for career switches, if you are actually passionate about software dev then it'll definitly happen , best of luck man and thank you :)
love the time stamps
haha hope they helped :)
nice content man :) keep up!
dope video as always
♥️
Love this video!
appreciate it man :)
just cool and aesthetic manhh. great videos keep going
♥️
This is great man, you are living the dream. I'll get here one day. I just subscribed
appreciate it bro, wishing you the best :)
Always good to see you Arman!! I'm always amazed by the view from your apartment. 👍🏾 And as a fellow baller hope the game went well. I eat at work as well, being in hospitality finance I just eat at whatever property I'm at that day. I do cook on Sundays and Mondays. 😂 Stay well 👌🏾
I always see you commenting appreciate the love man, thats dope man we save so much time not having to cook/do dishes :)
Great video bro!
appreciate the love man ❤️
Great video. The place you are at is a mountain for me to climb as I am at university doing my CE futhermore,thanks man for sharing your journey.
you are on the right path brother, just keep your head down and give your best effort, best of luck :)
Enjoyed your apartment tour vlog...😀
appreciate it bro, I recently moved so new one coming soon actually
$2700 on an 1 bedroom apartment while my parents pay a $1500 mortgage for a 4 bedroom house... Our generation is being scammed
$2300 after concessions, it's a really nice luxury apartment, yes agreed I am paying too much but I wanted to splurge for once in my life
@@armankhondker the thing is you're not even necessarily overpaying. This market is just absolutely insane. I'm in Miami, I make six figures as a software engineer, and you can't get a 1 bedroom here for less than $2000. How anyone is affording housing in this economy is beyond me.
@@dvillegaspro yea certain markets are definitely overcooked, same with austin market now where I'm from, it wasn't this bad when I started college in 2016. we gotta just make more this generation ig
it also depends on location
lovely video bro
♥️
Luv ure videos so much. Wish I could reach out but am still a junior frontend developer learning backend. Wish one day my skills would be up to tiktok standards. Thanks for all the inspiration. Keep balling❤
ty bro, your skills will be there in no time just get better every day man you can do it ♥️
love the actual, realistic content you put out. Random question, but what joggers are you wearing in this?
appreciate the feedback man hope to always keep it that way :), they are og lululemon pants
Is this a re-upload? Keep it up, must be hard finding the time to do these 🙌
na completely different day, just in my same seattle apartment
Really love the background music 🎵
lofi hiphop always
Another awesome vlog indeed :) include a clip of your soccer match next time
haha yea my camera died on this day so I had to resort to phone footage, next video i'll definitely get some :)
I come from Vietnam and am a programmer at a college and I always watch this video to get motivated in programming.
awesome man, wishing you the best, this is a great field to break into
hi bro, what camera did you use in the video? the quality o the video is excelent
you should make a video going over all the software and useful tools you use on Macbook to be productive / work!
thats a great idea actually, I'll think on filming something similar, thanks bro
Nice as always❤bro...was waiting for ur vid❤️🇮🇳 love from india..wnt more nd little bit long video like this..
appreciate the feedback :) thank you
@@armankhondker ur mst wlkm❤️..waiting for the next video 😊
Assalamoalaikom brother. Your videos are always so cool 🥰🇧🇩
appreciate it brother :)
Great watch! You mind putting me on that table at 0:47? looks perfect for my small space apartment
I highly recommend glass furniture as it makes your space appear much bigger, I got that table off of facebook marketplace, but you can definitely find something similiar on wayfair/amazon. Also, check offerup and marketplace if you wana find the best items for a steal, hope this helps best of luck
bro is living future me😍🤩
haha best of luck man :)
Very Nice Shoot Video!
ty man :)
love it
♥️
Which language do you recommend to use while solving the interview questions. Since you are working with Golang. Is that the language that you used to solve the interview questions with ?
definitely recommend Python since it's quickest to write, I used Java when I was interviewing a few years ago, I'd probably use Go today
I see you put in a lot of work in your youtube video with all the different angles of filming
I enjoy making cinematic videos, thanks bro
you're videos have definitely inspired me to get into tech! i am graduating university in may with a health profession degree that i'm not going to use and i would much rather be doing something like this. any advise??
yea man anyone can break into tech and make a career transition, I would look into self learning/bootcamps to learn the basics of development, if you really enjoy it you can go all in and have an amazing career path. best of luck man :)
Nice intro song amigo. 👌
Nice Intro song! You should use it too amigo!
Very creative indeed, never heard it before xd
it’s a dope one, ty for inspiration mate :)
Hey Armaan, great vid as always. I wanted to ask about if remote interships are available at TikTok? I'm a web dev from India and wanted to find some remote opportunities
appreciate it bro, yea dm me on linkedin or X
Looks like you've got everything sorted. If you enjoy it that's great. To me it looks like your life is mostly work, I couldn't do it myself.
it's honestly a lot of work, but I enjoy it right now and I am growing so quickly. If I was later in my career I'd agree, but now I have the energy to grind and grow in my career
That's awesome man, best of luck to you!@@armankhondker
WE NEED NEW VIDEOSSS🤩
new one dropped, I am sorry for absence :)
How often do you have meetings after working hours with teams with other countries?
our working hours adjust since we have these meetings frequently, I'd say a few times per week
baller apartment man!
i was shocked when I found it for how much I did ($2300 after concessions)
Before you started working, how many hours a day did you spend practicing? im close to getting my frist tech job but i dont feel ready enough, thank you! and i support chelsea from argentina because of enzo!
it wasn't any set amount per day, it was more about building out my personal projects that I was really interested in, that's how you can improve very quickly and become more invested. appreciate it man, I feel bad for enzo he needs more support haha
@@armankhondker Thank you for answering, you are very inspiring to me. Wish the best for you and chelsea!
please give us some insights of your journey and tips as a software engineer it ll really help us...love from india
check out the previous video, I go very in depth into all of this :)
do you think the seattle freeze is real? i moved to seattle and been having a hard time meeting ppl :/
yea bro it's definitely real, I luckily came in and knew a few people from college which made it easier, but yea Seattle is not ideal place for making friends at all
day in the life houston series soon?? haha :)
👀 next time I'm visiting
@@armankhondker Does TikTok have a Houston office?
@@brianruizy yea we do, small office, i'll see you there 😂
@@armankhondker 🤝😅
I will probably study this year, should I rather study software enginerr or cyber security ?
I am biased towards software engineering, there is more opportunity and much higher, but i'd ultimately go with whichever route you are more passionate about
I bro do u recommend on doing computer science if yes then which university would u recommend in the USA which gives full schlorship
Yes I highly recommend CS, definitely the best major
Mate where is your t shirt and track suit bottoms from ?
uniqlo shirts and lululemon bottoms
Bro finally posted 😢
bro i'm so busy with work 😭, but yes more coming
@@armankhondkerYay let’s go 💪
What programming languague do u use ? Python ? javascript ?
Golang, I mentioned it in the video, hope this helps
Hi! Do you know of any open positions for a bilingual communication specialist (English & Spanish) in TikTok? :)
not familiar, but you can check our open roles at our careers site, if so then reach out to me
2700$ what? the apartment cost? or your salary? if so, before or after tax? :)
apartment cost before concessions, after concessions (2 months free + $100 off) comes out to $2300. No tax on rent
parking is $400 a month, car registration $1k a year. sure we could take the bus in Seattle, but oh wait crazy hobos and fent smokers have taken over, so you need a car for safety and you pay dearly for it.
parking is expensive agreed but not $400, I didn't pay for my car registration it is still registered in Texas lmao, the homeless is real but no where near as bad as when I lived in SF so that's why I don't think it affects me as much
@@armankhondker Would you be able to make a video talking about your time in SF?
Forced RTO for a 40 minute round trip commute, boxed lunch, and Zoom meetings from a different chair. Office culture at its finest xD Nice video though!
unlimited lunch/dinner is nice so I never have to cook, they are in person meetings all my teammates come to the office, but yes agreed going in everyday isn't ideal. A balanced hybrid approach is best for everyone, appreciate it man :)
@@armankhondker For clarity, I'm just teasing because the meetings you featured were all you alone in the meeting room with everyone else on the TV :P
@@GilletteGaming haha you're right lmao, I don't film anyone at the office. appreciate you
how do you do your docs? I'm looking for a better way.
you mean technical design docs?
@@armankhondker right like what do you use to build your docs? I’ve started using notion but always open to what people use.
Dale dev sol na cara!
dev sol na cara vive siempre
hey bhaiaaaa , how are you? its been a looooooooooong time!!
more frequent uploads hopefully in the near future :)
I just wonder how the heck do you manage to take these many shots from going to office to coming to home 👍👍. I tried to send LinkedIn request with notes but unfortunately i withdrawn . Now waiting to send another request regarding job referral for dubai office. I just came across a job about my niche .
hey Diya, appreciate the kind words, send your linkedin here i’ll give you all the info :)
@@armankhondker I tried to apply through LinkedIn portal but couldn't do it as Tik tok ia banned in my country India 🥹. The job post was my dream role .
Take off that mid-table team banner :P
my apologies sir, to you and myself
Living my dream life
it's definitely nice, but not a dream you can make it a reality easily
working on it : )@@armankhondker
don't you have late night meetings with China mainland? It seems you have an ok wlb, good for you.
I do, watch previous videos
🔊🔊
was the audio fine? lmao thanks
Are you from Bangladesh ? because it is khondoker.
I was born in U.S., but yes I have bengali roots :)
Nice length
of the video?
Yes. Also how does TikTok always know what I’m doing
my dream is to be or a soft eng or a web dev , but im bad at math and have no idea how to get into IT.. I asked maaaany times about legit trustworthy bootcamp for a course which can also help me find a job but , meh..
being good at math as a prerequisite for software engineering is a common misconception, you can still pursue this field with below average math knowledge. best of luck man
bro i thought it was a reupload bc of the songs
first song is different though? thanks man haha
Loved your videos. I'm looking into chances in UI/UX design right now, I'd really appreciate it if you refer me.
Thankyou.
dm me on linkedin, ty bro!
Isn't this @LifeofNejo intro?
yea same song, pusha T is dope
It’s tough watching this chelsea… are you poch in or out
I dread it every weekend nowadays, poch out 💙
@@armankhondker I’m in the same boat 🥲 bring on Villa
are you from Bangladesh?
I was born in U.S., but yes I have bengali roots
Video after months as always
I'm busy with work 😭, more coming soon :)
My 2,805/M, Los Angeles, 1 bedroom apartment is not as nice…. And I pay state income tax…
it's $2300 after concessions (2 months free, $1000 off). yea but you have nice weather :)
are you bengali?! if so, we might be related haha
Where can I find tiktok customer support?!? If you are reading this comment, imagine the lengths I am going by commenting on an engineers video to get actual customer support from tiktok!!!
there is no tiktok customer support :/
@@armankhondker Agreed 100000000% even though the tiktok shop has live agents and a ticket system!
hey, really curious as to how difficult it is to get into these big name tech companies, and how i can get in one myself. if you're comfortable, would you mind sharing where you got your degree and any other qualifications that helped you get in?
hey man check out my last video, I go very in depth about all of these topics :), long story short not that difficult if you game the system
Deja Vu
haha yea same intro
What is your battery health ?
for my body?
@@armankhondker battery Health from your MacBook :)
@@kaibonne7138 just checked, around 92%
♥️
How old are you
mid twenties :)
Renting $2700 / month ??
You may get a high salary !
$2300 after concessions haha, check past video where I go into detail on that part
thought your salary was $2,700 a month from the thumbnail and though no F'ing way...
haha i'd be struggling to survive on $2700 a month, its actually $2300 per month after concessions (2 months free)
Really or is it a joke?
Pretty cheap apartment! I am paying 4K for a worse one in NYC
wow and I am considering moving to NYC 👀
@@armankhondker if you arent getting a huge bump in TC, dont do it. You will feel poor af
Bro are u persian?
👀
good job destroying society
never heard that one before
Is TikTok hiring for any entry-level non-tech jobs? I live in Seattle as well and recently graduated with a ba in business management, still looking for a job 🥲
yea we definitely are, dm me on linkedin
Hey Arman! Nice content. Dropped you an email.
ty man, will respond!
looking forward to it!
@@ivan-zlidechat responded
@@armankhondker thanks man! I also replied there. Appreciate your attention.
Bro, waiting for you to accept my connection request on LinkedIn for a long time....
I get a lot of requests, what is your name on linkedin
