5 things I wish I did differently as a beginner software engineer

Like any other person, I have regrets about not doing something earlier. Some of them I can still fix, but some are missed opportunities that I wish I had thought of. I hope that this video will give some ideas to people who are just starting their career, so they can avoid making same mistakes as I did.

I collected a few very generic things that are worth mentioning. I think they apply to any type of software engineer out there. And maybe it can be beneficial not just for beginners, but also a good reminder for some seasoned, but burned out professionals (like we typically are after some time in the industry).

❇️ About the channel

I've been working in software engineering for about 8 years. In that time I changed 4 countries, tried different specialties and worked with amazing people who taught me quite a lot about programming and life in general. YouTube is a new adventure for me, and I'm trying to share things that helped me a lot when I started (or things I wish somebody told me).
