[ep8] Work Trip To London + I Switched Teams! A Day In The Life as a Software Engineer

I’m on a work trip in London because I need to connect with some new people that I’m working with after switching teams. In this video I’ll be talking about why I switched to a new team, what my new team does and I’ll introduce you to my new friend… Paul.

I stayed at The London Edition hotel and loved the beautiful decor and vibe there in general. The onsite restaurant also served delicious breakfast and it was safe to walk around by myself in that area.

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.
