hey guys welcome to the channel my name is Jahmal and today i'm going to explain to you five reasons
why you should become a software engineer reason number one would be the p the it industry is a
very lucrative career path entry level jobs start about 85k a year that's not bad so coming out as
of college graduate getting into a job in the it world making 85k that's some pretty good change so
if you're going to work 40 hours a week you should be getting the most bang for your buck so i would
definitely recommend anyone that's curious about pursuing software engineering to definitely take a
serious approach into it that leads me to reason number two and it's various fields to choose
remember when i first started i first got my role in software engineering my first job was a quality
analyst so what i did as a quality analyst is i would manually test the websites in the mainframe
application just to make sure that there was no bulk before we go into production that was just my
starting career as a software engineer there's so many rules that you can choose from within the
software engineering umbrella you can choose to be a data analyst or a data scientist you can be
a developer you could be a architect you can be a automation engineer you can be a security engineer
you can even be part of the mobile app development team with all those career paths that you can
choose from there's definitely something that's going to work for you i'm a senior automation
engineer and i absolutely love that role if you guys want to know more about what i do
leave a comment below and i probably do like a day in life on what i do as an automation engineer
so you guys let me know reason number three you can be creative and innovative no matter what job
or career path or anything that you do in life if it allows you to be creative and it's a good
thing to pursue hey it goes without saying in it there's definitely going to be problems that you
need to solve and that's why we get paid the big bucks i love being a software engineer you know
why because it allows me to be creative allows me to think outside the box make me actually
use my brain juices to actually figure out how to solve something so as an automation engineer
i usually have thousands of test cases that needs to be executed in a very short period
of time and also needs to report back any passes or failures that may have occurred during testing
it's great to be part of a team where you can take an idea and actually make it a final product
i think that's pretty awesome so that leads me to my fourth point and that's teamwork and networking
so i would say about 80 of my time is about just writing code and debugging any problems that's in
the application other twenty percent i spend in meetings usually in the form of a scrum so what
happens in the scrum we would have a scrum master and would have about five or six key players
within the development life cycle and all we do is to give feedback on what are we doing for the
day is there any roadblocks that are hindering us from progressing is there anything that you would
like to share so that's what usually happens in my twenty percent it's pretty good so overall i
think it's just great to work a part of a team um there's many benefits of working with a team and
getting closer to people they are more willing to help you when you have a problem you can quickly
send them an email or quick i am if that's available and say hey you know i'm having an
issue with this problem can you take a look at it for me i try this but that's not happening
you get good feedback it's just a good work style leave it as the last point and i don't know why
i made this my last point should have been number one anyways last but not least
last but not least my fifth reason on why you should become a software engineer so
so last but not least my fifth reason on why you should become a software
engineer my fifth reason is the ability to work from home come on working from home
working from home is an amazing perk to have you can wake up a little later you don't have to worry
about the road rage don't have to worry about spending unnecessary money on lunch and gas boom
most importantly you can spend a lot of quality time with your family and that's what i enjoy
doing this really should have been number one i'm just going to leave after this man anyway so
there you have it guys five reasons on why you should become a software engineer i mean it's
those are five solid reasons come on boom reason number one the p two various fields to choose from
three you can be creative you can be innovative four you work with a team you network and last
but not least the ability to work from home so if you guys like the content please feel
