Nir’s Answer

A day will usually include meetings to discuss what you are currently working/what you will be working on. Writing code, reading code, writing tests, approving PR's (pull requests, essentially editing other people's works) and debugging (trying to fix your errors that won't let your code work). You can also have more admin related tasks like conducting interviews or helping lead newer developers.

Patrick’s Answer

This is a tough question because a computer engineer could be many things.


You might be a datacenter server engineer working on equipment in a server room like this: http://webodysseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/visite-google-datacenter-14.jpg


You might go to the datacenter to physically install a server, connect power cables and network cables, install an operating system, and configuring the server to do the work the business requires.


You might be a systems engineer who remotely accesses those servers. You ensure that all of the systems are online and functioning properly. You install software packages, configure the server to run the way the business requires, and fix broken servers.


First job out of college, you might be a desktop engineer working on user's desktops/laptops.


In most cases you'll have a ticketing system where users enter requests for your services. You take ownership of tickets, get the work done, and close out the ticket.


After spending some time being a server engineer, you might become a presales engineer like me. I go around to customer sites, learning about their business and how their IT infrastructure functions. I then work with them to figure out if any of the products in the VMware portfolio will solve the customer's IT issues. Sometimes I install our software as a proof-of-concept at a customer site. Sometimes my customers come to me for advice on a particularly difficult configuration for VMware's software, or for advice on how our products fit their unique situation.
