An *eventful* Day in the Life of a Google Software Engineer (NYC Edition)
22 year old does coding, gym, dogs, ping pong, nightlife and more. Follow me through my day (and night) as a software engineer in New York City!
DISCLAIMER: While everything in this video did happen on the same day, I had to use alternate footage for a few things like ping pong, because I wasn't able to get permission from everyone that was in the original footage. Something cool though is that the fireworks were from the same night, and it wasn't even July 4th!
Also, this definitely wasn't a typical day, since on most weekdays I just go home after the gym.

This was really cute
Lived this life on my 20s and it was great. Now I'm 45 and long retired living outside of Boulder, Colorado with no one around for 4 to 5 miles in any direction. I love the peace and quiet now. Enjoy it, because the years go by fast.

Because, too many late night parties 😛😅
Definitely cherish these days forever. Great to see you work hard and have fun too. And nice bench and shoulder presses 💪💪💪
This was dope man, great work! Just started my job here in NYC doing consulting so cool to see a lot of similarities between our lives. Looking forward to more vlogs like this one!
Amazing video man, really well made! Nice balance between work and play.
Really enjoyed the video. I've been interested in coding for awhile now and it's great to see a glimpse into the lifestyle. That view at 3am of the city is superb also.
Been having a lot of thought of doing software engineer as a career. This video is giving me motivation lol. Thanks man and keep up the work.
this is the best/most realistic day in the life video I've seen for software engineers. I think it has the best balance, which is what I want.
I wouldn't mind a life like this at all. My current days consist of having a career crises cause I'm so unsure of what I want to do in tech but this fully swayed me. Thank you :) I know it's like 1 day out of many possibly boring/harder ones but the way things are going for me rn, one day of this is enough for a whole year

yes but if you are asian there is a high chance that a black man will beat the shit out of you.
When I saw the title of your video I was like "ooh...another lonely guy" but...your daily life is much better than other developers working at big companies.
Just moved to the city as well as a Software Engineer, glad I found your channel!
Skipping leg day. That's bad bro. Amazing video by the way. Greetings from another software dev based in Colombia!
Tech recruiter from London here. Moving to New York this year with my job and this vid has got me gassed!
Absolutely love this video bro, you really have a life many dream of. I hope when i finish my studies as SE, my life will begin to look like this :) Cheers, a student from DK!
75% reading/writing and 25% coding 🤯❤ The best S.E vlog I've watch.
Apart from your awesome job at Google and NYC's cityscape, this video is just very well made.
Loved everything! The background music was the icing on the cake fr! Two moons 💯✨😣
Thank you for giving me motivation while I am coding in the middle of nowhere
That's... shockingly accurate for a young professional in NYC.
Love the video bro! Yes yes yes enjoy those moments! Please! Love from Atlanta ga ❤️
Living your best life! LETS GO!
Make more vids. I see u don’t post alot so please post more this is mybe the happiest I have ever seen someone and still doing things with their friends even if they are working at a big company.
Dude multitasking in another level , watching three anime at the same moment
Hi Matt - thanks for sharing. Crazy question coming. About your Google office monitor setup. Are those shared desk spaces? Did I see 2ea USB-C cable connections coming from the desk monitors? You just occupy both of your devices ports on your MacBook to get 2 extended screens? My company looking for a way to satisfy the Windows and Mac users in shared spaces to get 2 extended screens without using a dock. Does this work well in your environment?
I'm starting there soon! Great video and superb Joji music choice
I know filming yourself coding isn't very interesting, but honestly this video makes it look like you wake up late, eat and snack all day, go to happy hours, play games and go home.
Awesome video Matt!!! Keep it up !
was just gonna leave, but the night view from the apartment in the end reminded me to SLAP the like button

Hello mister yang I am student in high scjoll and my dream is to become swe at google such as yourself. How do I learn days structure and algorithm?
was it hard to learn the code you use at work during your school/training ?
Meeting with friends, that is wholesome
you motivated me a lot, thank you.
Bro you have macbook pro but how do you use 2 external monitor with mb pro ? Which multi hdmi port do you use
bro built different the way he's watching three shows at once
Love the vlog style of this video.
Finally, a video of not a boring "day in the life of a software engineer"

I learned Python in 5 hrs youtub video and next week I cracked VMWARE and Altassian interview as Principle SRE. In order to get into Google or even in VMWARE or Altassian or Meta you need to demonstrate more of what you can deliver and innovate of what you already know
what skills are required to get job in google nyc?while currently i am studying in Pakistan BS Software Engineering 5th Semester near to end...I am good enough in python
How I can tell I'm a 30yo software engineer now and not a 22yo software engineer: "10:30PM meet with friends" ME: "My god I should be in bed then.... oh no..... im old?"
How did you learn to type ? (What websites or what courses)
Hey Matt! What is your Mac configuration??
hey! you're matthewyangcs, the guy who competed in the digital ultimate typing championship, no? it's awesome to see that you're a google software engineer, esp. since that's a route i plan on taking. congrats!
xdddd WHOA MATT WAITINT FOR THE NEXT VLOG also the gimme code gif 😍😍😍
Hi Matt. i am a googler too and will move to nyc office soon! Curious how you think about the equinox hudson yard's monthly price? and how much discounts are they giving to google employee? Thank you!
This is better than my holidays
What programming language do you use for work?
Where'd you get this wallpaper? 2:19 I mean, I can't find one with this blue tint
hi, may i know what course (major) you take in college?
What a cool video bro, enjoy your life ! ;)
What programming languages do you use in Google?
Hey! cool videos! I was wondering if you had any advice as to a new person can learn to code? Someone that knows absolutely nothing.. What language should they learn first? What classes should they take?
cool vid, i loved my times in nyc, it's intense
app name for warming fingers plz
Which monitors you’re using?
Nice vid my guy. You’re truly Blessed 😎👍
Great video man!

Hey, where did you get the backpack? I really like it and would like one as well. Thanks.
Out of morbid curiosity, how much code are you copying and pasting from GitHub repos?
This kind of genjutsu doesn't work on me: I recognized Spy and family on your right screen 😁
finally not a boring A-day-in-my-life as a software engineer.
I discover your channel today, I like your content keep going, hug from Brazil
Where did you find this wallpaper??
To be honest, this give me motivation to sturdy and work hard. I may be 13 rn but I know we're all going to active what are dreams are

I think I got fairly comfortable after spending ~3 months here. I still google maps 24/7 for train schedules, but now I know where the subway stations are without needing the map LOL For biking, I basically just try to memorize the next 2-3 steps of the directions but check google maps fairly often.
In what langs do u coding?
Anyone know the song in this video?
Is it worth becoming a Java software engineer for the future due to the development of AI and most automation? Or should I still choose machine learning or working with data? But I just like the software field more than ML.
Wow, that view from your desk, nice!
