A Day in the Life of a Software Engineer
Most software engineers work on weekdays, Monday to Friday, in a cozy, air conditioned and heated office.
Software engineers live the 9-5 lifestyle. Most of the work that software engineers do involves coding.
Engineers usually have a meeting before working, debriefing the work that is to be done that day
Software engineers enjoy a wide variety of activities at work. Other than just coding, they also attend meetings, write reports and help colleagues with computer related issues.
Software engineers will take breaks after coding for a while to stretch and relieve stress, as well as to prevent any musculoskeletal issues related with posture.
Some Software engineers take breaks every 2-3 hrs and do physical activities for a few mins such as playing ping pong, having a nerf war, etc.
Like many office jobs, software engineers take a 30 min - 1 hr lunch break and continue working.
Most Software Engineers pack up and leave work at around 5:00
Engineers may have to do some coding outside of work but otherwise they live a very free lifestyle at home.
