This comes straight from my heart because I see so many people every week on here that are struggling with engineering and want to quit the job. It’s freaking hard, I know! But you’re not gonna quit today or tomorrow. I know this video turned into a mini pep-talk but sometimes you need to hear it with a bit more enforcement. So, YOU’RE NOT QUITTING TODAY.

ABOUT ME

🙋‍♀️ I’m Maria, an Engineering Manager at a big tech company and I’ve been coding since I was 13 years old. I love working in tech because building new things and being creative is something that makes me really happy. While on this journey, I realized how lots of questions I receive in 1:1s get repeated a lot so I decided to upload short and simple Q&A videos on TikTok which grew to a small amount of followers. For some questions, I wanted to dive deeper with longer answers which is how this channel started. Thanks for being here – my goal is to help some people out and make their lives at tech jobs more effective.
