My first job experience:
Interview: Given the root of a binary tree, return the inorder traversal of its nodes' values.
First day on the job: Can you make the font bigger?
Hahaha this sums it up well
then u will like this 😂

Lol!
Your name and avi have me rolling
@@krillansavillan 🤣
I feel that all the sacrifice that I made was worth it, next week I enter my first day as a trainee developer (3 months), it cost me a lot but it was achieved. Remember, if I could, you could too (I wish you the best in your first job search)
hey, how is it going?
Are you still working as a dev? Would love to hear about your first year
Just started at a big Corp again after doing my own thing thru COVID. It’s fully remote and is only real when that laptop is open. What a world
That sounds like a sweet gig!
I'm starting as a full-stack developer at a start-up tomorrow. My first ticket is to add a 'back' button and change some styles. It took me a few hours to sort through code base. That's when I realize how important it is to be able to read other people's code. My manager is super nice but I'm a bit hesitant to ask a lot of questions.
Watched this video and looks like I am not the only one. First day at work as a developer. Thanks for great tips
always ask questions. IF you are penalized for it, its prob not a great place to begin with. But also help yourself, look up rule sets, and use any wikis or knowledge shares they spent time building. I feel the pain tho, when I was hired at my current position I was left to sink or swim. You either make it work or bounce.
@@husher5142 Yeah. At my previous job, they will look down on people when beginners ask "damn" questions. Even if it's something they should teach, they would ask a bunch of questions and tell to look for yourself.
That's not specific to my workspace. It's like normal in that industry. I have to break that habit. Right now, my team manager always encourages me to ask questions and he's willing to answer everything. That's really great
I am afraid of being so slow or not knowing what I have to do...
8 months later. How was it? 🙂
Ya how is it going 9 months later?
It'll be my first day as a dev tomorrow. This vid definitely helps ease the nerves! Thank you!
You got this! Hope it went great 😊
How are you doing right now ?
update?
@@harleyqueen2227 Still employeed! 🤣 I gotta admit it's tough and will probably continue to be so but definitely worthwhile. I've found that you reaaally need to be good at asking the right questions to the right people. The programming stuff almost takes care of itself if you know who to ask and where to copy paste already existing code, either within the codebase or through google. In the beginning, I tried too much to write code from scratch. After pair programming and shadowing some experienced devs, I found out it's mostly about stitching together existing pieces of code to make new features/bug fixes.
@@AverageCho hows it going now lil bro ? you still employed ? GIve us more tips
Got a job offer today and starting my first ever job Monday, extremly nervous but this has helped massively, thank you!
yes I'm on my third day at my very job as a frontend developer. They show you projects you have to work on, and you have to look at their code base which will be much much bigger than you expected.
Thanks! I haven't even landed my first interview yet and nervous enough about that. Before I watched this video wondering what on earth a first day might be like only added to the anxiety lol!
Every single word that you say is very helpful, thanks a bunch for sharing your experience.
First off, I want to say thank you for sharing all your insights and wisdoms on coding/developing. It's answered so many questions. Also, a request....Would you ever be willing to watch a few clips or episodes from shows that center around developers and sort of talk about how realistic it is? Like, Mr. Robot, or Mariana's character in Good Trouble or the series Silicon Valley. I would love to hear your take on how close to reality those shows get.
Thank you! that is actually a great idea!!! I will put it on my list of video ideas thank you :)
Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions. I love it.
I'm starting as an associate software engineer next week. this video is good.
I’m starting my internship at a medium-large sized company soon in 2 weeks and this video came at just the right time. Thanks so much for this, you were so encouraging it definitely made me feel less anxious and more excited! :D
hey, how is it going?
@@Aliena92 hello! I interned for 6 months and got converted to full time :) i've been working at the company since. i'm very thankful that i met an amazing mentor at work who guided me all throughout my internship. Also to share a piece of good news, I'm getting promoted in March this year!
Let me know if you have any questions
@@jj-fe6hz Congratulations! I'm happy for you and your story is so motivating. Thank you. I indeed have a question. So I've been learning Javascript, Typescript, and React, and am pretty good with these languages/libraries, but I'm thinking to switch to c#. How is the current job market for C# versus reactJS/JS programmers, demand- and salary-wise?
Thank you for giving actual advice. I can't tell you how many meme videos I had to go through to find this.
I like the comment when you start networking and meeting new people. That is what I did at Accenture Federal Services when I started my job.
Thanks, Kiddo; I Absolutely Love The Narritive Your Channel Releases The Wonderful Information It Doeso.
This Is Critical To Knowing What to Expect froma Job and You Have hit The Nail On The head yet Once Again; Love You and Your Channel and again, Thanks ~
Much appreciated! thank you!!
I'm a backend developer. I spent the first two weeks going through dev docs and getting access to systems. I didn't get my first ticket until my 3rd or so.
thank you so much, I needed this
Found you today! Have watched a few videos and I am enjoying so far. As a "breaking into" software developer, I am looking forward to your content!
Awesome, thank you!!
I would love to start a career in tech too. Best of luck to all those in tech already ❤
Thank you so much!🙏
I don't code, but its something im looking at as all our networking stuff is moving to python- BUT First day as a network engineer was much the same. Setup/software, waiting on security approvals etc. It varies wildly what happens next though. On my first team it was 2 weeks of training on proprietary systems, and in my more senior role,(note i was hired as entry level) it was setup this POC from scratch and go forth minon. Extremely limited hand holding if at all any. I think the only thing I got actual help with was firewall policies. That poc network ended up being two HTC G1000s, pair of brocades, 2 flex IBM chassis (16 x86 servers), 2 DPs, 8 tor, 2 priv, 2 pub core routers and 2 dist switch + all the logical in between. (yes this was pre spine/leaf)
Such a beautiful and nice to share your experience ❤️😊
Good energy you have here. Great video
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make them. You're awesome. :)
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I'm starting my job as a QA engineer tomorrow, and your video really eased my nerves. Tysm for making this video.
You can do it! Congrats!
Thanks Tiff❤❤ you are the best, really!!👍❤❤
Thank you!💕💕
Thank you so much for making this video 😊❤️
Glad it was helpful!😊
I'm starting my first job as a Junior Developer, thanks for the content. I really appreciate it.
You got this! Big things ahead!
Thank you, Tiff.
Forsure!
Excelente video..
So Tiff, what is it that you love most about being a programmer? What is it that really satisfies you in this line of work?
I'm starting to work for a med size company as full stack web developer next week and I came across this video, it was extremely helpful,
you answered a bunch of questions and kinda put my mind at ease, thank you and you seems like a great colleague :3
That's great! I'm also starting for a med-sized as a software engineer, can we chat and learn from each other? Excited to see how it will go for us.
How’s it going mate?
omg thank you 😭😭😭😭
Helpful video tiff 😇. Thanks 🙂.
You’re welcome 😊 Glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful ❤
I start my first job as golang developer, i dont know anything about golang, but i think you right that they hire me for a reason, even though i only print new world at the first day.
Thank you !!!!!
💓💓
More great new content 😄and I love snoopy 🐶 too I got a similar sweater except green it’s an ugly sweater Christmas version!
haha thank you! and thats awesome!!
Would you mind doing a video on what our second day will look like?
What about tools such as ,lap top ,monitors ,flexible chair ,…..do I need to bring my own or ???
I am starting as a junior java developer the next friday, I am so excited. This video was really good, although most of them were not new info but I am building the hype for the job with this. Thank you for the good content!
Best of luck! You will do great I am sure!!
How did it go?
That was useful as always
So happy to hear!
It will be my first day next week. First professional experience after transitioning from facility management to tech. Can't but say I'm overwhelmed 😔
Congrats!! And hey that’s normal, with time those feelings will go away and excitement will take place!
My first day is next Monday, moving from IT support. No degree, no experience. I started learning through the 100 days of swiftUI course in September, and finally got my first interview then job offer in February! Tbh, I’m as much excited as I am nervous
Wow wow! Congrats!!! Totally normal to be nervous. You got this! 💓🎉
Hey Tiff, thanks for ease the process for beginners,
However your video needs ease-out a bit :)
You're amazing...
Lol at my first company they hot potatoed me for a week to get access for my project repo and were just expected to read the code on my own and work on it.
Wow tiff you got 110k congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! 😊
Really good 👍, been there similar experience
thank you!! and great to hear!
@@TiffInTech Any Interest towards Data science or AI? cus, this is the future , specially AI engineer. Well an AI algorithm will also be able to do developers work.
Hi tiff i do have this task. I need to pull all data from google spreadsheet using reactjs. But the problem is the google sheet of my client it is so messy and so hard to map, i already convert it as json but the data that presented seems not right.
Hi Tiff. I think nowadays most companies have their own working environment and computers with all set up. So probably i am gonna start my first day doing coding 🍀🐚
I am contracting for ages, I always use my own PC. Only interaction I have with the company IT Is passwords, vpn, and if I need a server in their datacenter.
thnks for making this vedio,,,
i was really scared even to apply,, IT companies,, thinking I need to be perfect.
thnks again
You got this!!
Thank you for the video! I've started as a juniur developer this summer and struggling with "why did they hire me'" quite often. Any idea when does it go away? Also it feels like there is always not enough time to learn new technologies we are working with. I was told I can learn in by doing, but it is hard without knowing basics of the tech (framework). Can't imagine doing it without studying on my free time.
I will tell you what people who believe in my skills told me: they hired you because they saw something in you, and typically they have more experience than you do so you should trust their judgement. This helps every time mutinous parts of my brain tell me I’m not good enough :)
@@AlisInterrail thank you for sharing! These words are gold! I have this situation at work that people believe in me, so I will just believe them :) Good luck with everything!
@@tasteoftheair glad it helped, good luck to you too! You will do great I'm sure! 💪🏻
@@AlisInterrail this is good ;0
Can you make a tutorial on how to attach 2 computer screens when coding
Awesome frd!!
Thank you! Cheers!
well said Tiff
thank you!!
You're a master of thumbnails..
print("Good job, thank''s for sharing")
For the last year, I have been studying Java programming through online and offline courses, working on my own personal project and in two weeks I am going to start my very first job as a Junior Software Engineer (they work mainly with Java, REST, etc.). I am very grateful they are giving me a chance to get practical experience. It is a medium-sized company and I am very very nervous if I can even live up to their expectations. Since I am practically self-taught, I have not got enough knowledge about a lot of things. I hope I will be able to ask the right question and I hope that my future colleagues are going to be understanding and eager to help. So wich me luck :D
Congrats my guy how is it going now?
@@trustsinceway1182 It has not been as bad as I thought. Colleagues are very kind. Practically I spent the first month only studying. Only now the last one or two weeks I have been finally working. The hardest part is to make sense of the whole application code and working with Git.
Do you think there is added difficult if I'm like "too young" when getting a job or it isn't a problem. Btw great content,it is very helpful.
Thank you!! I think that is definitely a thing too... but dont let that stop you
Free food! Yes!
thank you tiff you're gorgeous
Day two. Crazy ticket or I'm not getting it. Thought I got it until they explained how it should be ahaha
Tiff: dont worry there’s small chance you’ll be eating alone
Me: wanting to eat alone 🙂
haha! :P
Thannl yoi
I never wasted one second of thought on what I'll be wearing on my first day. I just try to focus on not being late but usually fail. Thankfully, most employers are too embarrassed to admit they made a mistake and end up keeping me anyway. Also, I would not recommend to bring your own food that way your employer is compelled to feed you.
I thought in this video we would be seeing Tiffany serving coffee.
If we all go out for lunch together, do we all pay individually or does the company pay? I always stress about little things like that haha
Typically if the manager takes you out they will announce it and pay for everyone. And usually thats like a vendor meeting esk style so you go to a restaurant. Otherwise you pay for yourself.
The first day of work feels more terrifying than the first day in school. But we need to keep ourselves ready and open for learning. Cheers, Tiff! 🥰🤓😍
its true!! 😊
Nice video 👍
Thanks 👍😊
@@TiffInTech welcome 🙏
Hi Tiff!
Hi!!
Cyber security is a life saver
4:00 - 4:40
I thought they'll ask you to do small amount of coding to get the ball rolling. But just setting up. That doesn't sound so bad.
It differs company to company but some companies would ask you to do a bit on the first day! From my experience I havent had to though 😊
I think it varies wildly. Even between teams in the same company.
I started as a test developer (SDET) back in 2005 at MS. I was pretty low level and it was sort of a hybrid position so I had to fight to prove myself as a coder even when I had the job (as opposed to just running a bunch of manual tests on an application). Within a couple months I was writing code most of the time, but definitely not at first. Also I had previously been at Microsoft for 2.5 years (cumulative) as a contract STE (regular runtime test guy) so I knew the culture pretty well already. I just wore jeans and a t-shirt on my first day, no second thoughts about it! I had worn a full blown suit to my interview for the contract test position 4 years before that...man that was awkward. I have never dressed up for an interview or a first day at the office since then. I could always tell potential new hires by how overdressed they were, though occasionally visitors from another company ( or country ) might dress up. For example there was one young man who visited from Japan and was dressed up in a fancy suit that looked like something a pop-star might wear to a concert! Poor guy, he looked so flashy but was sooo shy. Last note, It's been almost 17 years since my first full-time day at MS (I'm no longer there) and the company has changed a LOT, so don't take what I say as definite truth about the current company. Just thought I'd share another perspective of a beginner developer experience.
Hey 😊. Early on today 😃.
Yay!!💕
Its hard or easy to be a web developer for beginner
anybody else watches Tiff's videos also because she is so gorgeous? lol
One of the best videos I saw on this topic! :)
thank you!
nowadays in India very tough to find a software developer job if you are fresher. most of the companies hire only experienced engineers. it's sad but it's true.
Sorry to hear that 😔
I know but man do projects and get internship and continue learning and you will make it just believe.
@@strangereview2414 thank you for your support.
I want to become a self taught developer but my parents are not into it, any suggestion?
Hm that’s tough! I would say you need to think about what’s best for you because it’s your life and you need to be happy! Why aren’t they wanting you to become a developer?
@@TiffInTech they want, but having a degree first. The problem is the things they teach in my college is kinda old and 3/4 of the subjects are not related to programming :(
@@diego7425 I hear you that is frustrating! My best piece of advice to think about is that from my experience going to university did give me a lot of valuable experiences past just what was taught. From networking, time management, meeting new friends etc… just something to think about 😊 but there is no right way or one path!
@@TiffInTech yea, the good part is what you said, make friends and experiences.
Thank you for hearing and giving me advice to my main problem right now :) love ur content
Thanks for the info !! BTW you’re damn beautiful 😄😍
thank you!!
Tomorrow is the day. I'll see how much of this will actually happen :)
You got this! Wishing you all the best
@@TiffInTech Thanks, Tiff! Went pretty well, although I can definitely see why so many Junior devs struggle with impostor syndrome. 😅😂
First in video of first day as software developer
🎊🎊🎉🎉💕
What you can expect on your first day, as with every day after that, is a lonely 8 hours in a cubicle with no stimulation.
❤
👍❤️💯
😁😁
And why there is a marathon about who saw the video first😅😅❤
haha! I noticed that too 😂 😃
@@TiffInTech 😅👍
You need a things NOT to do on your first day. Dont ask for a better computer, a $200 keyboard, root/admin privileges, two 4k monitors and a stand, install unapproved software, ask to uninstall software, etc. And most importantly, dont piss off IT.
So I require a special monitor that doesn't use pwm otherwise I get migraines. When is the best time to ask for that? It's not a disability obviously.
@@EvgeniyaJZIm actually perplexed by the question... Are you being serious? Or are you just trying to be a troll? I am going to assume you are serious and are just missing the obvious answer. If you have a legitimate need for special hardware or software, you would bring it up BEFORE starting your job that requires said equipment. That way the company can get approval for the equipment and have it ready for when you start. Alternatively, if the company doesnt approve of your requirements, they can let you know before you start. If thats the case, ask if you can bring in your own monitors. If they say no, then you have to decide between having a migraine or having a job. It really isnt rocket science. The sooner you ask, the sooner you know and less time will be wasted for you and for the company.
❤️👌👌
Hope you have a great day!!
hi ! i want to create a football simulator game like FIFA
I am starting as a Mobile App Developer Intern on the 11th July I'm so scared XD
Btw I am self-taught Android Developer.
How much time did it take you to get your first job?
@@franco.calascione 6 months of job searching. Lucky I haven’t had to do any DSA questions :)
Also, doing an interview for Junior Android Developer to start when my internship is finished.
6 months searching and how much time learning?
@@franco.calascione I learned android and Java within a year.
@@fluffycloud735 ah ok thx, congrats and good luck in your job
you are the best person I see in my life. I Hope you read about Islam because I think you deserve the best thing. good luck
I was thrown in a deep end and fired on day one on a small company.
Why they fire you?
😂 First onee,
Yay!!!💕
Women on the first day as a developer: what to wear
What’s wrong with thinking about what to wear?:)
Uh, weird question, but any men of culture here ? 😂
First
🎊🎉🥳
@@TiffInTech I could create a video telling you how to be a professional, just studying on your own and what steps we should take. tips for books, pdf, videos.
how would you do if you studied alone? (translation:google translator)
Thanks a lot for this direction..
I want to be a software developer from South Asia..Will help me though your are a busiest person.
Thank you so much for this video. I start my new position as a software engineer on Monday. I took a break from coding for almost two years and somehow managed to pass their coding challenge 😂. This video really helped ease my nerves and now I’m so excited to start! 🤎
