@FryingPan

A lot of y'all have been asking: yes, I got new job offers. I usually like to be fully transparent on my channel but there's too many people going through tough times right now, including friends of mine. Don't feel like it's the right time to talk about my offers and numbers and stuff. So I won't talk about the details of it for now, sorry for the curious ones out there, but maybe in the future. Hope things get better and stay better for all of us ♥

On the bright side, job search is done, school is almost done as well, a new chapter begins🦒

Reminds me of old sneako. His content was so good

My mans got into his existential phase

@shafiqimtiaz9198

I really loved this different perspective in your video Pan. I was sooo exhausted and tired during job search, interview and leetcoding - I literally isolated myself, from everything humanely necessary to keep a person 'sane'. But now since AI is chomping away at our jobs and I have developed backpain - I realized 'being successful doesn't mean a FAANG 400K job'. Its more about doing something that is meaningful to you and everyone you care about. I followed your videos regularly and kept myself motivated as such, to never give up and dream big. And now seeing, the struggle you are having securing a job - I feel, I'm just a drop amongst all the great programmers around me. So, I stopped stressing and appreciated all the little things I have achieved. When I look back at me, 5 years ago vs now - I feel really proud of myself and I believe I can do good in the future too. And if noobF like me can be hopeful - believe me, dont stress and take a break till now. And instead of Pallet Town and Squirtle - maybe next time you play Pokemon, you'll start in 'Littleroot Town' with a little 'Torchic' (I loved that littol chicken tho :D) - and thus everything will turn out to be ok.

Keep the Grind going - but not on LeetCode, but on your Personal Happiness.

@nyx246

as someone who's into self-improvement and also cs, this was a refreshingly unique and insightful video! always love your content and the new little things you try out :)

@4kgotit

Like this new type of content. Sometimes we keep looking for a new goal while what we really need/want is in front of us

@steven94th74

Be handsome, be smart, have money. The trifecta of success.

@a_drunk_carry371

The second half of that video definitely hit differently. I've been lucky (for now) to transition from 100% tech recruiting to marketing and executive roles, but I definitely feel for everyone. Post-mass layoffs (my company got rid of over 40% of the staff) it just feels kinda empty. Everything is so slow and it feels a little inevitable that I'll be next.

@kyomawolf2

It also comes down to what you define as success. If you define your success as just being happy, having a lot of time to spend on personal things and spending time with friends, it also helps to reduce pressure - at least for me.

@NeetCode

Damn that was sick. Congrats man, glad the grind paid off!!

@UnkownChris

Just a few months ago, I wanted to just to psychology as a career and didn't ever consider anything else. But since then I've been doing a lot of coding, and started to want to have a job for one of these big tech companies. Now I think that I do want to do that, and eventually want to leave and try making my own tech start-up eventually, just so that I don't miss the opportunity to try it out. I would call any of these options being successful, however I also think that it's important to try and become more successful all of the time, so you always have something to work for

@jiaminzhu406

first time fall asleep with frying pan's video can come back the second day to watch it again.

@bobbybobbies

I just binge watched practically all your videos while self-studying college algebra. You make some good stuff bro! I just graduated high school this past week and will be pursuing CS in college. I have very limited CS exposure as I have only taken AP Computer Science Principles. I also don't remember anything from that class as I took it a year ago. But I am going to spend all of summer learning basics of CS via YouTube lectures and projects and studying math (College Algebra and Pre-cal). I'm low-key scared/nervous about starting college since I'm not very good at math (at all...) and since I am very new to CS. However, your videos were actually really inspirational and made me feel a little less nervous! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!

@manjuverma3342

My exam is in about 50 days and i'm so depressed that i don't want to even try but this video motivates me do so, even though i don't reach my expectations . I'm going to try. Thank You Pan.

Welcome change of pace, man. Reminded me of the Sneako's old vids, reminded me how much I miss this style of content.

@georgiail

Being in a similar situation, this video brought a hint of optimism that I needed, thank you Pan, and congrats! 👏
