The HIDDEN Challenges of Being a Software Engineer 2023 – Can You Handle It?

In this video, I reflect on my seven-year journey in the tech industry and discuss how it has completely transformed my life. Despite starting as a software engineer without a clear understanding of what the role entailed, I have grown in my career and tripled my income since my first layoff. However, the tech industry is much more challenging than people realize. It's not just about getting your first job, but also having the endurance to continuously learn and adapt to new technologies. From front-end development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to diving into data engineering and learning Python, Postgres, and more, the learning never stops. In addition to the constant learning curve, the tech industry also goes through periods of layoffs and reduced job opportunities. This video explores my experience of these challenges and shares insights on how to stay relevant and competitive in a constantly evolving field. Join me as I discuss the importance of endurance, adapting to change, and investing in your tech career. #TechJourney #SoftwareEngineering #WebDeveloper
