Lately, tech has been going through it. Layoffs, fear, burnout, endless takes about the “death of the golden era.” I’ve made plenty of those videos myself and I still believe a lot of it. Tech isn’t what it used to be. But this video isn’t about what’s broken. It’s about taking a moment to acknowledge what’s still really, really good. In this video, I practice gratitude and list the things I genuinely love about my job in tech: the pay, the stability, the flexibility, the people, the trust, and the life it allows me to live. Not as motivation, not as advice, and not to flex, just as an exercise in appreciation. I feel incredibly lucky to do this work, at this moment in time, especially in an industry where so much feels uncertain. This is me reminding myself not to take it for granted. If you’re feeling burnt out, cynical, or constantly wondering if you should leave tech, I hope this gives you a different lens, even if just for a few minutes. 🔗 Grab my resume template: https://557542485850.gumroad.com/l/wgzga Follow me @ https://www.instagram.com/namanhkapur/ Check out the Logitech MX Master Series: https://logi.link/lkjcas #MXSetup #logitechpartner Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:42 Compensation 1:18 No Layoffs 1:57 InDay 2:19 Shutdown 3:03 Breakfast & Lunch 3:43 Coworkers 4:24 Manager 5:30 Sponsor Shoutout (ad) 6:10 Remote Days 6:57 Personal Space 7:33 Perks My Equipment: Main Camera: https://amzn.to/3HpzZ92 Main Mic: https://amzn.to/3Nuyfz8 Main Lens: https://amzn.to/3ncJUId M1 Macbook Pro: https://amzn.to/3tjfkfJ iPhone 13 Pro: https://amzn.to/3xwsI2r Phopik 55'' Tripod: https://amzn.to/3zmL6vZ Deity V-Mic D4 Duo: https://amzn.to/3zoF126 Boom Mic Stand: https://amzn.to/3H1IOEw Audio Cable Extension: https://amzn.to/3MrBcfH TRS to TRRS Patch Cable: https://amzn.to/3mvDSy6 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter: https://amzn.to/3MwX0GG MB01QAEJGEKU0WW Disclosure: Some of the above links are affiliate links.
