  • So I worked at Google Eamonn Show as a fulltime software developer for about a year.

  • I like to work in there, but then I decided to leave the company to focus on my YouTube channel.

  • Is that when I told my friends about it, some of them were like, Wow, you're following your passion.

  • That's awesome.

  • But really, that's not what I was doing.

  • I liked making YouTube videos for sure, but I didn't quit my job just ill, that I could follow my passion.

  • If passion was what I was falling, I would probably be pursuing stunned up comedy right now.

  • What?

  • I love comedy.

  • But when I left Google, that's not what I started doing.

  • Instead, I was following this gap in the market.

  • I found so a little bit before I started working at Google, I started my YouTube channel called Siesta Joe, which was mainly about software engineer job interviews.

  • It's started growing fast, and I got more than 100,000 views on 5000 subscribers when I had only like 10 videos on the channel.

  • Around the same time, I also started coaching people on how to get through software engineer job interviews and they actually started paying me for it.

  • What I realized through this experience is that I was starting to feel the difference between what people wanted on what they were getting.

  • It was sort of like this gap in the market.

  • People wanted to see high quality videos about software engineer interviews, but they couldn't find them anywhere else.

  • That's why I was able to get that many views on subscribers.

  • Some people also wanted someone to teach them how to get through software engineer interviews one a one.

  • But they couldn't find anyone else to do that easily.

  • And that's why they found me to help them, because I was starting to feel this gap between what people wanted on what they were getting.

  • I was able to grow my YouTube channel really quickly, and through my channel I was able to help thousands of people being able to help so many people actually just felt awesome.

  • And then I thought, maybe if I focus on this full time, maybe I'll be able to help a lot more people a lot faster and that's why I left Google.

  • Actually, I'm making a lot less money now, but it's just amazing to be able to directly see the impact that I'm making on people's lives.

  • This was actually something that was sort of lacking in my engineering job, even though working at Google was amazing.

  • So I'm not really sure how my channel is gonna go from here, but I think there are still a lot more potential here on there.

  • Still a lot more people I can help out there somewhere.

  • You know, I actually just feel really lucky to be able to directly touch so many people's lives.

  • And so I promise you, I'm gonna keep doing this as long as possible.

  • So logical health, even more people.

  • Okay.

  • I hope you enjoy this video on.

  • Hopefully I'll see you in the next one too.

  • It's yours and high five.
