Hacking Work Life Balance (do less and make more)

Most weeks, I don’t work more than 40h in my regular tech job but often, I achieve more than my peers that work 40-60h a week. In this video, I’d like to share my method that I’ve tested for many years that led me to this work-lifestyle even when most of my peers were working crazy hours.

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.
