😺 congrats on your new relationship and new team! You look so happy and so refreshed. I'm so happy for you and I hope it continues for you!
I'm not a software engineer, but when I first joined my company, the onboarding was very much "watch a video" or "put in a call with this person" and then they would just talk at me for an hour, without me actually understanding any of it. I made it about 3 days before going to my manager and saying "I can't do this, please give me something to do" and she did. I ended up learning way more and connecting with people better as well! I know I'm pretty lucky to have a great manager and that's not the case for everyone, but if you feel like you would learn better and contribute more in a different way, make sure you communicate it! ❤😻
I love love love watching vlogs to see a bit about your life and how you manage everything as an engineer student, it helps me motivate!!!
I am the exact same when you mentioned being more a hands on learner rather than reading all the documentation. Once you get the services working on your local workstation it def will be easier to understand! Good luck with the new project!!
So happy for you Jenn! You're radiating! Cheers to your new era 🌻

It's always a good day when a new video of yours comes out 😺 Congrats on all the positive life changes!
I can relate to your onboarding stage as me myself is currently on this onboarding process. And i can say that your videos are truly inspiring and motivational. I have this feeling of nervousness as i need to get along with new team and also i need to learn new process and policies. A lot of information is new and needs to be applied like what you said in short span of time. I always wait for your new uploads regarding your journey as it keeps me motivated. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Yes! 😺 Good luck in this new chapter of your life, I'm so happy for u! I'd love to see your work/study routine and how you're managing to balance this with personal life. Kisses from Brazil~

Ooh!! Que sorpresa, tantos cambios!! A veces sentimos que es necesario hacerlos, y cuando lo alcanzamos, derrepente cosas mejores llegan a tu vida. Gracias por compartir tus experiencias. Y felicitaciones por el crecimiento que has tenido. Se te ve feliz. ❤🎉 😺
March was a hard/important month o everyone, but happy to see you doing great! 😸
I am sure it feels refreshing to start a new chapter! I am happy for you, take it all in and enjoy it to the fullest! Always love your content and continuously looking forward to your videos.
I was subscribing your channel from Taiwan one month before, your vlog are always inspiring me and making me feel comfortable a lot! Actually, I am in same stage of onboarding in a new company just like you, I'm also reading a lot of SOP required, in the meantime, I was asked to join in new project with new coworkers which a little challenge me. Anyway, I will try me best to adjust myself to fit in the new team! Looking forward to seeing more your daily life video in the continue life.
😺 Congrats on the new team and relationship! I'd be more interested in seeing more around Seattle. I.e. good restaurants, coffee shops, fun things to do. Etc.

Thanks for your tips! I just pivoted to a new team as a Frontend Engineer and I've been having 1:1 calls with my manager and onboarding buddy/mentor the past week. My introverted self would get so exhausted after a couple of calls but I'm easing into the role fine and I feel supported. Another thing I'm doing is documenting important things, especially since we already have a frontend doc but I will be doing a lot of refactoring on my end.
🐱Congrats on the new role and the new beau!
I just started my first job last thursday, i'm a software engineer as well and it was so reassuring to watch this and actually feel good about such a new change in my life :)
you have passed 50k subscribers congrats!!!
Excited and happy for you in this new chapter! ☀️ 🐱

thank you 🫶🏻✨ and i appreciate the suggestions!
One thing that stresses out new devs, or even experienced devs in new positions, is the fact that you will feel like you know nothing. Recordings of architecture design or diagrams can help give you an idea, but you will not grasp the product or system until you're knee-deep in it. I don't think there's any exception to that.
Hi from Chicago 😺 Congratulations on 50k subscribers
Best as always
Hi, Jenn! Really looking forward for your next vlogs ❤ Love them so much I’m also a Java developer and I was curious if you use your own laptop for work or was it provided to you by the employer ?
🐱 Looking forward to future videos!
🐈⬛ New chapters brings new experiences, so I'm happy for you! :)
So cool you were in Kirkland where I live! 😸
Just started my journey as a software engineer and attending a Boot Camp. What do you do exactly day by day? debugging? a lot of coding from scratch or?
Joined a new team about 2 months ago, Impostor syndrome had me by the neck for the first 2 months, really felt super anxious and scared of tasks that I thought I wouldn't be able to do. Turned it into a positive scenario and realised its a good things as you can learn so much from this and really felt that I have grown over the last 2 months. I will say the hardest thing is personality clashes between members, thats something that does take time and Im only now after 3 months starting to feel more comfortable in my team. Would love to hear other peoples stories and also advice

Hey Jenn, I have just started a new hybrid job myself with a a new team so also feeling nervous!. Goodluck tho:)
Random question... But what brand are your glasses? I really like them! I have similar ones as well but I haven't found a pair with the clear rim. Thank you ! Your videos are great btw !
Spring is about new beginnings. You are Awsome and you create the perfect blend of content. Keep being you and moving forward. I do not know how to put the cat 🐱. Never mind I figured it out.

how did you guys meet?! love watching your videos, so inspiring, especially someone who's Math/CS major trying to get into tech, to see how tech people work
ótimooo, obrigado pelo excelente vídeo, quando vem ao Brasil? rs
I'm happy for you
Hi Jenn, I love your videos, greetings from Mexico, beautiful. 😊
I love watching your vlogs, I wanna know more how did you transition your career ? What motivated you that do you want to go on a new role ? ❤
I know that what I'm about to say is not related to software engineering, but... you are so beautiful. I hope this compliment brightens your day
As an Amazonian intern who is waiting for a return, hopefully these tips will be helpful someday. 🐈🐈
Hi Jenn, looked like a beauuutiful day in SEA! Could you please share the name of the restaurant where you were eating dumplings? Always adding suggestions to my Google Maps for the next time I'm home✨
What language would you recommend, that is versatile and powerful , and what language are you coding in?
Do you like using your LongChamp bag as a work bag? I have been wanting to get one but I wasn't sure how sturdy it would be for laptops.

it's versatile and cute! although, it's not that great for your shoulders :(
😺 Interesting onboarding vlog. I would more in depth on how you solve a software problem or when you face a blocker. Tq
so, what tech stack are you going to use in your new job?
Of all things, I noticed and liked your Macbook, what are its specifications and price if you don't mind. Asking for myself as a budding developer. Watching from the Congo. Thanks.
I think new content will appear soon...it is... Couple's work Vlog, be happy Jenn❤
😸 i am hoping to start a new position software engineering for a much larger fintech than my current company. Hope to hear something any day!!
love from clementechs ❤️🇱🇰
