Hey that’s me! Great video guys. Loved meeting you all and hanging @ the after party. Good luck to everyone pursuing a tech career. Just do the work and opportunities WILL find you, I promise.
I'm from Okc here too! Moved to the SF bay area 20 years ago and never looked back! You cannot find a better job market for high-tech jobs than right here in northern California!
Here's a tip to make more money as a dev: Target small companies. Seems counter-intuitive, but many small companies are willing to pay a couple of devs (even sometimes a single dev) much higher salaries to keep them happy (and around) vs. hiring a more "normal"-sized dev team at more normal (lower) salaries. $200K dev salaries are not uncommon, and not strictly FAANG.
Absolutely. This is especially a good path if you are straight out of bootcamp or a lesser known college or self taught. I have moved to progressively smaller companies making a significant amount more each time. Eventually I could move to a larger company.
100% I used to work in FAANG and made 180k there after three years of working. Left my job for a medium sized company and am now making 260k a year. Definitely not as large as some other people but I still have room to grow.
@@officialsterlingarcherman you make a killing man where I live that can get you a absolutely gorgeous home with a comfortable amount of money left over any advice as I’m fresh out of hs and want to get in this career path
@@dkabyss7035Same. I'm outta college, and I wouldn't mind working for a smaller company, faang is pretty much overrated with all the layoff and hiring freezes
The longer i've been a SWE, i realized big tech and FAANG companies is not only about being a good programmer but also having a good personality is key to actually stay in big tech. I emphasize people trying to get into big tech to be a likeable person, and stop being awkward and weird.
@@DhyaaneshSudhakar That's entry level in San Diego. Your mileage will vary based off of where you are based. Typically, higher costs of living inflate salary as well.
I know someone who is making around $250 an hour. And this person totally deserves it. It's not about how much you make but about how much you know and how productive you are. Money will follow.
I get about a 45k raise every jump. Keep moving every few years. Started at 70k. Now at 165 with 10% bonus after 5 years. Always negotiate your salary especially with a couple years or more under your belt. It is harder to do this straight out of college or other path but you could get more potentially.
I was thinking of finishing a certificate for programming that teaches me advanced and beginner python and c Sharp I believe. Would you recommend that instead of a 4 year bachelor's honestly? I'm 30 years old by the way. Hope to hear from you. Thanks
Pick a language to be proficient at. I would guide this by what is most in demand. I am proficient in Java and work with most Java related technologies. Also familiar with a bunch of other tech. Important technologies to know or be familiar with outside of a programming language are containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), CI/CD, event/message streaming/queues like kafka or rabbit mq, and cloud computing (aws, azure, google cloud). For both frontend and backend langauges it is always good to know a framework like react, vue or angular, spring or some other framework for your specific language. At some point pick another language to be pretty good at. Its a good idea for this language to cover many of the weaknesses of your primary language and be applicable to another problem domain. This makes you more marketable because you can potentially solve a wider variety of problems.
@@PokemonRocketPulls Hey! Yea a certificate is a great way to start. You may need to demonstrate your knowledge a bit more by building some projects but you will learn a lot in the process and show you are serious about getting into the industry. I would make sure the certificate is from a credible provider before investing in it. Other than those minor things it is a great way to start! I did the whole 4 year CS degree thing and TBH it might have been better to do another route when thinking back on it.
@@YeetYeetYethat’s so impressive, Im studying CS at university overseas, and planning to move to the US in the near future.. is it possible to join these tops companies having graduated from a foreign university? Just curious 🫥 but of course I put a lot of effort on my thing
Summary : 1]Focus on doing the work especially when you dont feel like it 2]Apply apply apply - the more you apply the more chances you have bagging a Tech Job 3]Learn and Implement dont just follow along , build something useful and valuable from what you have learned 4]Join communities 5]Contribute to the open source 6]Have patience 7]take frequent breaks dont overlearn - pareto Principle thats it good luck to everyone

Whew. That #7. I’m finishing up nearly 400hrs of a Bootcamp (C#, TS, React, mostly). After I’ve debugged & coded for 5 or 6 hours straight I experience a kind of exhaustion I’ve never known before!
Netflix engineer would have likely made the highest. $500K+ total comp
Рік тому+13
110k sounds great but highly depends on where you live. 110k in New York as in other places. One guy mentioned California vs. Chicago. A lower paying job in Germany may even end you have more money in the pocket while having insurances covered and money towards retirement.
The last guy just motivated me The part he said: “even if u don’t meet every requirements for a job, go for it” made me become motivator so more in the tech industry 🙂
That’s actually very true. I’ve handed out resumes to places where they wanted this and that… I did it anyways and still got calls. It’s probably a little test to show you’re willing to go above your standards and be NOT afraid to “strive” for what’s best and willing to take on new challenges and learn.
@@cozyfalcon 95-98 percent of coding employees are there for the money, and they say it themselves. The people that do have passion for make it further than the rest, but there's a reason why everyone says to code if you want money. Money is a great motivator for progress, and you can like money and tech at the same time.
Software developer of 5 years now: - I had no related education (Got a psychology degree) - I learned 100% on UA-cam tutorials for 2 years - Wrote my first "hello world" at 27 years old - Made a bunch of personal projects and an online portfolio of them First job only paid 40k a year, but as everyone knows, that first year of experience is all that matters. You guys can do it too, just keep working on it. There's tons of success stories.
@@bhyyrttf The question is not always about whats hot in general. I started with Android (java/kotlin) and found no one would give someone with 0 job experience that job. Personally, I found that companies were a lot more willing to give a Javascript developer with 0 experience a shot.
Turning 44 next week and am finishing up 1st 6mnth contract. I was a woodworker prior and went self-taught route. If there's meetups in ur area, go to them. I wound up getting in w/ a recruiter. Took 1.5 yrs.
Very heartening. Just going back to school at 41, been a truck driver over the road for years and have wanted to do this since I was a kid. Hopefully not too late!
Start small & scale it fast. Don't chase the salary as a junior developer. Focus on sharpening your skills then you are on demand on the market out there.
When you're from germany it seems crazy that developers in the US make 100k+. In other countries the starting salaries are so much lower and tax is also higher.

I make around $150k a year with 2 years experience in big data and no relevant college degree or boot camps. Just lots of courses on udemy and UA-cam. Also completed DataCamp data engineering and read few books. Still most of these learnings are for self development. To get a good tech job you just need to learn few tools and be good at it. Believe it or not I love learning new things than earning a lot of money. Sometimes I think about quitting and studying for a year. I know that’s might not be a good idea but that’s how I feel

Bro your video got me shook. Me and my wife been studying coding for 2 years. But I work 12 hours a day for a warehouse and dont have time to really jump on it like i should, but this video , im stoked now..appreciate it bro.
I was tickled by all the people that didn’t want to disclose their salary. Are they on NDAs👀? They don’t want that family member asking them for any money. I see you!
I think some people arent confident in believing they are worth as much as they get paid. Devs can make some obscene amount of money and so many of them write really bad code.
Some of us believe in privacy and realize the power of the internet. Remember, whatever you say on here stays here forever and possibly can be used against you in the future.
I used to see no big deal disclosing my salary and i still really don't mind people knowing, but at my job, i learned it's a bad idea, because there is no set salary for each particular role. When i started in my current role a few years ago, i was automatically given a higher hourly wage than guys who have been doing this since i was a kid. I made the mistake of telling one person, under the assumption that he was getting way more than that. He was actually getting less and thought i was joking. Then he angrily burst into the human resource office when he realized that i wasn't joking. A lot of things happened after that, and i became tight lipped about everything salary from that period to now.
This is great! I am currently a nurse in the medical field and with the way healthcare is going nowadays, I notice many of the flaws and ways it can be improved. I recently started having second thoughts about even wanting to be a nurse or staying in the medical field overall. Developing/coding/programming have been in the back of my mind now for about a month. Problem is, I do not know where to start. I think my first route is SQL, Python, Java but not sure what courses are the right ones to choose from. I'm willing to put the hours in after work each day, but I want to make sure I am following a schedule that does not waste time. Suggestions from more experienced developers?
I'd go with Python and the Django framework if I was you. It's what Instagram and UA-cam are coded with, among countless other sites. Python is great for newbies as it has quite a gentle learning curve compared with other languages.
@@DBriddo if you had to choose where to learn from, what site would you use? There are a lot of boot camps but I want to make sure I’m learning from the correct people and sites
Almost everyone, including the media, is anticipating a market catastrophe, and as a result, many are turning a blind eye to the opportunities in the market. I recently began investing in stocks , and it was the best choice I've ever made. If you genuinely want to be financially secure, disregard everything the media is suggesting. The market offers a lot of chances. Maximize your use of it
@jamessarah2702 You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of what occurs, whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned, and that's what matters most.
@jamessarah2702 I would suggest Doris Janette Maule, my current broker. Her services are excellent and her returns are great. I looked up her up after seeing her on a CNBC market interview, she has been a blessing to me.
Be open to taking internships, easiest way to get in. 6 months after high school, I was lucky enough to get an internship, wasn’t the greatest pay but it was still something, and now it’s 5 years later with 3 companies on me resume, and making a decent amount for a 24 year old.
@@Hvy1q34 well this was 4 months ago, now I make just under 70000 US Dollars per year (without bonuses and additional pay), but I live in South Africa so close to 1.3M South Africa Rands. It’s a decent amount. I live with my parents still, no kids, no wife as of yet. And I’m a year older.
I am a senior front end developer with 5+ years of experience. Working on react, vue. Learning nodejs right now. And i earn 48k per year only because i live in georgia ( country )... this world is all about luck. Even at the beginning like where you will be born its already a luck...
@carlitos skull hey, yes its a lot in my country, but stuff here cost same as in other countries, like if you want to buy a car it will cost same for you and me. i think this is very unfair. ( i am not working in my country, i work remotly from here in different country company )
BS degrees in CS and EE, masters in CS and MBA. I make 395k base salary, fully remote. 15 Years experience. That salary has increased dramatically though the last 2 years. Most of my career up to that was 100-150k
Working in a completely different sector - portfolio management and finance. I’m a SPM (Senior Portfolio Manager) and make between 200-300k a year with stocks and bonuses. That’s crazy, a high-end finance salary makes as much as these developers with 20 years experience and a PhD in Mathematics and Economics… I should’ve chosen a different career path.
"The fastest way to get a raise in salary is to keep looking/keep switching" That's a BAR because I've always heard people say "just work your way up in a company for 5-7 years". If you aren't feeling or seeing the growth you need, don't feel like you owe anything to the company.10 times out of 10, there is a company that has exactly what you need.
This. If your main goal is a high salary and you're displeased with the one in your current company, then you've got very high chances of switching companies and getting a much bigger loan as they're pressured to give you a good offer, if your skillset matches their needs. I've seen many of my friends do it and be very successful with it. I've had the luck that my first company was a paradise to begin with so I don't intend on switching any time soon.
Here the tips who rush for money to work on code dev, everything you saw on screen is easy until you try to step in their shoes. A lot of hardwork to achieve comfortable place. Even harder to maintain your position. You are replaceable. Some people not build to code. To prove my point: if you never run 10km, try walk for 3km. Some people need a lot of work to do achieve the goal. The hardest working one will stay. Never give up. It is hard to get there.
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject ..... Thanks to Mylah Evander the lady you recommended.....
I wish people focused on other disciplines of IT aside from software engineers. There is a huge range of IT jobs that I notice doesn’t get exposure on UA-cam: SREs, IT consultants, IT project managers, devops, cloud engineers, netops, secops. Actually maybe that’s a good thing so SE stays saturated and other jobs stay less competitive.
I agree. I have 3 years help desk experience and I begin AWS Re Start program in a week . I’m very excited to learn as much as possible, programming languages etc and most of all enjoy the journey. I desire to be skilled enough to acquire full remote opportunities.
Nah, that's where full stack devs come in....granted good ones are rare, but you have infrastructure as code, platform as code and other tools to help out with those things.
I’m Brazilian living in Brazil and working for an American offshore company, allocated at one of the biggest car manufacturers companies in the world. Of course there’s a middleman here, but I’m making 72k. I’m a senior developer but I’m getting paid less than a junior I think. I want to move to the USA someday, but in the meantime I’d like to get a direct hire from an American company but it’s kind of hard to find companies that directly hires from Brazil.

it is not about chickening. It is called NDA - NON disclosure agreement. I would be rather surprised if someone told their salary on camera because if employer sees that and wants to fire you it is seriously legit thing to fo

I’m a graduate software engineer I have applied for more than 60 jobs and I always get rejected at the last step. I don’t know what’s wrong I hope things will get better just pray for me 😂to be able to land my first job! Hit any recommendations if possible and thx
@@KakaKaka-iw5ud don't worry about the rejections. Its normal! Always use the rejections to better yourself by asking why and then making an effort to sort out the reasons why. I've been a software engineer for around 6 years now and have had 3 jobs in that time (with the 4th on the way, I've just been offered a job). When I first started, I had loads of rejections but kept at it and found a place that would take me. Now every time I find a new role, I find I have less rejections and more demand. Always remember to work on personal projects especially at the start of your career to prove your skills and your passion for the trade. Plus try to use your personal projects to keep up with new technologies in demand in the job market. Don't worry, soon you'll find a great job! :)
@@Hasan.T bro do you think tech job hiring will be halted for next 2 years due to recession and will there be layoffs in future due to chat gpt replacing the developers ??
Disagree with Anthony at 05:54 It's not for everyone. Some people try it and don't like it. Some people try hard and don't get that far. While self taught is possible, it also has the biggest failure rate. Most people will struggle unless they have above average motivation and organisation. While *some* roles in tech don't need a CS or EEE degree, *some* absolutely do. You aren't learning to write lightweight cryptography for IoT Devices in a bootcamp. I am not being gatekeepy, I am just pointing out people on both extremes (you need to be a genius and do CS degree vs anyone can do this) exaggerate. The truth, as is often the case, is somewhere in the middle.
Now that we're in post-2020, a question to consider adding: "do you work remotely?"; Someone making $150k and living in a city in California is now very different from someone who also makes $150k at a similar company but works remotely and lives in rural Arizona, as an example.
It's a "well paid" career in the States (as a junior not so much given living costs), but here in Portugal is not that great. Juniors make around 1k, 1.2k a month... As a senior you might get around 2k... And alot of the local companies expect you to have senior level knowledge as a junior... It's only worth it if you work for remote companies...
@@andiuptown1711 That's precisely my point. Portugal's economy is more developed than Hungary's. Living standards and wages are higher. It comes to me a shocking fact that developers in Eastern Europe practically make nominally twice the amount that of Portugal.
@@PsychoDude no man, I am in HR and we are paying our developers well, junior is like 35k to 45k annually. Some senior guys getting 80k. Not as good as US but still for Portugal its nice.
100k in California is roughly 70k after taxes for those wondering. 150k is Californias minimum household income to have if you are to be a normal nuclear family experience within the state (According to the LA Times)
Yep exactly, i try to push salary transparency around. Working as a software engineer in DTLA for a large investment firm and we need to make at least i would say around $135K base salary for yourself to live comfortably and i would say around $185k+ if you want to raise a family + mortgage 😅
When we keep our salaries secret, it hurts everyone. It means some people get paid less than they should, and it's harder to ask for a raise. It also creates a culture of shame and secrecy around money. So let's start talking openly about our salaries and working towards fair pay for everyone.
it is fair for different companies to pay different salaries. It is fair for people to make different salaries. Not every company is the same and not every employee is the same.
There are a lot of companies out there who specify on the contract that your salary is confidencial information. Imagine your boss looking at this clip and seeing you disclose that information.
Guys I am a C# junior developer , but I know I can improve so much ( because I have improved so much since now I am on my way to my 2nd year ) . I am so underpaid , don't live in a western country , and would like help from the community to improve my stats . Thanks ❤
Having a solid CS background is key to being best programmer. Developers dont need CS degree but programmers must either know CS concepts by heart or have a CS degree if your CS concepts are solid there are companies that will pay $250k base for your first job
"Giving all praise to this team of guru's for bringing my life back on track when I thought everything was gone, but with the help guidelines I was able to realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks (with the help of my Financial Advisor of course) and made about 146k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up with more than I can imagine
The pandemic came and taught everyone the importance of having multiple stream of income, unfortunately having a nice paying job doesn't mean you are financial secured anymore. So we all need to put in an extra-income earning chance, like investments.

Investment is that tiny line that separates the RICH from the POOR. The foolish from wise sorry to say. I can proudly say I am wise today because I can provide for my family through my investments.
I like to see how things work in USA. For example, in my country if you dont have a degree it means you are nothing. Its also really bad seen to be job hopping, recruiters will never reach you if they see you have been in more than one company in one year...
In the U.S their are many useless degrees, many university grads who are making minimum wage with high debt. School is a investment if their is no way to make a return on your investment then the course you are taking in school is a paperweight, this is what the school system does not tell the youth in the U.S. P.S a Union Electrician in the U.S makes over 100,000k per year.
Degrees are important in the U.S. if you're coming from another country. For instance, it's easy for a Canadian citizen with a relevant engineering or software degree to get a U.S. work visa with a degree, but much more difficult without.
Guys just don’t forget that those salaries are based on stocks comp. If the stock is up you make 400k but on the next day is 200k. As a se manager the most important skill that I look for at my engineers is how good they can deal with a certain challenges.
It’s not because they’re shy it’s because they’ve been told not too and also it’ll be in their contract not to reveal that. For competitive sake and or pricing other companies /jobs.
I'm a European engineer half way through my bachelor and this kinda hurts. In my country the cap of a software engineer in a niche field like machine learning is maybe 65K with much higher taxes then the USA. I hope to find an international company after graduating and applying for L1B visa one day. A man can dream
Yep, in Europe and partially western Europe, all IT jobs are like working at McDonald's. Your salary is barely covering your living costs. Most jobs are taking away to Eastern Europe, where people earn $5/hour. Plus, the taxes in every Western country are in reality 50% and more. And that's the reason you can't get a high salary because the employer will pay double tax on you. So..poor developers in Europe in general.

@@zainahmed5320 idk why people still says that layoff and recession are impacting the job markets . Is it ? can someone clarify what engineers/work are impacted
@@sohailkan17 It's mostly impacting recruiters, HR and business side. But, there are engineers who have been laid off. It's only temporary. Look at what happened in 2008. Thousands of Engineers were laid off, but did that stop more jobs from being added in? I actually switched jobs in January, when layoffs were absolute worst. I know many other people who found better and high paying jobs during layoffs. Companies who do layoffs are only doing so to secure their finances. That doesnt mean they wont hire people back for those and more roles. Tech is always growing, its the perfect investment for a career.
Something to keep in mind where you live matters a lot. There are places I could live and get paid like twice what I currently make but actually make less because the cost of living is so high.
I may be a bit late, but i would reccomend you to choose like one famous languange that isn't too difficult and just search a lot of problems about it, projects, read documentations , books, just don't change the language until you have a good level with the language.

Pick a language to be proficient at. I would guide this by what is most in demand. I am proficient in Java and work with most Java related technologies. Also familiar with a bunch of other tech. Important technologies to know or be familiar with outside of a programming language are containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), CI/CD, event/message streaming/queues like kafka or rabbit mq, and cloud computing (aws, azure, google cloud). For both frontend and backend langauges it is always good to know a framework like react, vue or angular, spring or some other framework for your specific language. At some point pick another language to be pretty good at. Its a good idea for this language to cover many of the weaknesses of your primary language and be applicable to another problem domain. This makes you more marketable because you can potentially solve a wider variety of problems.
@@PokemonRocketPulls Hey! Yea a certificate is a great way to start. You may need to demonstrate your knowledge a bit more by building some projects but you will learn a lot in the process and show you are serious about getting into the industry. I would make sure the certificate is from a credible provider before investing in it. Other than those minor things it is a great way to start! I did the whole 4 year CS degree thing and TBH it might have been better to do another route when thinking back on it.

That’s actually very true. I’ve handed out resumes to places where they wanted this and that… I did it anyways and still got calls. It’s probably a little test to show you’re willing to go above your standards and be NOT afraid to “strive” for what’s best and willing to take on new challenges and learn.

Some of us believe in privacy and realize the power of the internet.

It's likely your peers will come across this channel and turn to them at work going "WTF? How is it you make more than me?"
I used to see no big deal disclosing my salary and i still really don't mind people knowing, but at my job, i learned it's a bad idea, because there is no set salary for each particular role. When i started in my current role a few years ago, i was automatically given a higher hourly wage than guys who have been doing this since i was a kid. I made the mistake of telling one person, under the assumption that he was getting way more than that. He was actually getting less and thought i was joking. Then he angrily burst into the human resource office when he realized that i wasn't joking. A lot of things happened after that, and i became tight lipped about everything salary from that period to now.
This is great! I am currently a nurse in the medical field and with the way healthcare is going nowadays, I notice many of the flaws and ways it can be improved.

I'd go with Python and the Django framework if I was you. It's what Instagram and UA-cam are coded with, among countless other sites. Python is great for newbies as it has quite a gentle learning curve compared with other languages.

This. If your main goal is a high salary and you're displeased with the one in your current company, then you've got very high chances of switching companies and getting a much bigger loan as they're pressured to give you a good offer, if your skillset matches their needs. I've seen many of my friends do it and be very successful with it. I've had the luck that my first company was a paradise to begin with so I don't intend on switching any time soon.

It's not for everyone. Some people try it and don't like it. Some people try hard and don't get that far. While self taught is possible, it also has the biggest failure rate. Most people will struggle unless they have above average motivation and organisation.

Why are so many people so against disclosing how much they make. it makes it easier for people to get underpaid for the same work/with the same level
When we keep our salaries secret, it hurts everyone. It means some people get paid less than they should, and it's harder to ask for a raise. It also creates a culture of shame and secrecy around money. So let's start talking openly about our salaries and working towards fair pay for everyone.
it is fair for different companies to pay different salaries. It is fair for people to make different salaries. Not every company is the same and not every employee is the same.
There are a lot of companies out there who specify on the contract that your salary is confidencial information. Imagine your boss looking at this clip and seeing you disclose that information.
@@tudy32 Confidentiality re: wages is illegal in majority of civilized world, jsyk.
It hurts people when they are not discussing salaries internally. Not sharing a salary to people who have no idea what you actually do is okay.

Degrees are important in the U.S. if you're coming from another country. For instance, it's easy for a Canadian citizen with a relevant engineering or software degree to get a U.S.
work visa with a degree, but much more difficult without.
when 200K a year gets you no where in Sydney, you need about 400K a year. House price, cost of living, Tax.
12 year senior software engineer at microsoft 170k . ✋
same year experience, Im a senior software dev - $31K per year
In the 1990s, I made $74,000 in NYC, and I was the poor guy on the upper West Side. I can't imagine these guys paying the bills living in those areas.
I feel like I was the only person who was taught to never ask how much someone makes
eu também
Guys just don’t forget that those salaries are based on stocks comp. If the stock is up you make 400k but on the next day is 200k. As a se manager the most important skill that I look for at my engineers is how good they can deal with a certain challenges.
Even if the stock goes to zero, my pay would be 230k. With stock it’s 750k
@@nameredacted6926 That's my point: if the stock is rising, you can earn a lot of money; otherwise, you're stuck at the base wage.
Exactly. Stock and other benefits should be excluded when talking about the salary.
It’s not because they’re shy it’s because they’ve been told not too and also it’ll be in their contract not to reveal that. For competitive sake and or pricing other companies /jobs.
I'm a European engineer half way through my bachelor and this kinda hurts. In my country the cap of a software engineer in a niche field like machine learning is maybe 65K with much higher taxes then the USA. I hope to find an international company after graduating and applying for L1B visa one day. A man can dream
May your dreams come true
Bro you can earn good money without going to the US.
@@TechnoBacon55 how so?
Where do you get that idea? Given your username I assume you are Dutch. I have never been super money focussed on my job and almost make twice that.
Yep, in Europe and partially western Europe, all IT jobs are like working at McDonald's. Your salary is barely covering your living costs. Most jobs are taking away to Eastern Europe, where people earn $5/hour. Plus, the taxes in every Western country are in reality 50% and more. And that's the reason you can't get a high salary because the employer will pay double tax on you. So..poor developers in Europe in general.
Can you go to London and do this? I am curious how much our pay differs. I feel like we don’t get nearly as much.
I used to overestimate my intelligence and was like “iM gOnNa MaStEr pYtHoN aNd C bY tHe eNd oF tHiS yEaR jUsT wAtCh” guess who totally did not even come close lmao. too stupid to learn programming and all that technical computer stuff (how do people just casually be sayin’ “ya i make apps as a side hustle”) 😭 i feel deflated watching vids about programmers talking abt their success stories with programming internships then getting into FAANG and silicon valley etc. Much rather prefer writing and humanities. Im majoring in international relations and law rn. Ive heard that Job prospects for IR are rather bleak but its a field im passionate about and enjoy doing so we’ll see. 🤞
The second guy be like, I will give you a range from 100k to 100k haha
The first guy without a degree earns 6 figures, meanwhile, here I am with a Bsc and masters degree in computer, informatics and telecom engineering, after heavily contributing for an object detection patent that can change autonomous driving forever and still, I'm struggling to find a job that pays more than 30k a year. People in the USA really live life on easy mode
yes
Living in US is not easy mode....you could get shot, 1 health accident can wipe you out....
@@adammorra3813 Yup, you got a good point there, but still, someone from the US can work 10 years there and then come to my country and just retire xD
In 10 years they make more money than me in my entire life
@@itsamevic thats not how things are. Cost of living is very high in US. You dont save as much as you think you do. I think if your making 150k+ as a single, sure but dont underestimate how expensive things have gotten in US.
Where are you from bro?
Hi. I needed your advices on programming. Where can I contact you bro
I agree, doing project based learning is the best case for these type of subjects.
Had the same experience as Camille. Just apply to literally everything. Worth it at the end :)

This job market is getting a lot more competitive now though.
Theres always ups and downs. Good thing for IT its up mostly
@@zainahmed5320 idk why people still says that layoff and recession are impacting the job markets . Is it ? can someone clarify what engineers/work are impacted
@@sohailkan17 It's mostly impacting recruiters, HR and business side.
But, there are engineers who have been laid off. It's only temporary. Look at what happened in 2008. Thousands of Engineers were laid off, but did that stop more jobs from being added in?
I actually switched jobs in January, when layoffs were absolute worst. I know many other people who found better and high paying jobs during layoffs.
Companies who do layoffs are only doing so to secure their finances. That doesnt mean they wont hire people back for those and more roles.
Tech is always growing, its the perfect investment for a career.
Something to keep in mind where you live matters a lot. There are places I could live and get paid like twice what I currently make but actually make less because the cost of living is so high.
Hey, I am just starting to look into learning coding and am wondering if there are any tips people can give for being self taught?
I may be a bit late, but i would reccomend you to choose like one famous languange that isn't too difficult and just search a lot of problems about it, projects, read documentations , books, just don't change the language until you have a good level with the language.
I'm 37 years old, making $225K (before stock and benefits), as a senior systems engineer.

Wow
Can i make like 200 or something like that by game developing
@@Far4Away , for sure!
Game dev is like any other SW dev.
@Liza-vb2cu oh wow I'm 16 y old. I have no idea about that field. That's why I asked ya ❤️
This career is done for. Literally the most advertised job on the planet
Yet there is still a lot of demand . Tech will always be a big thing

IRS in the US be like: "yeah, we make $$$ with him".
Hey! It was great meeting you guys! Glad to be part of the video. It was nice to see everyone's takes, there's a ton of great advice!
Thanks for being part of it 👍
What you notice is that the people who end up making the most started off making the least.
Haha, it's misleading, that's because they started way way before back when salaries were much much lower
5:32 Great advice.
You don't need to be super intelligent to be a be a software dev. I think the idea is so daunting to most people that they quit way too early.
Thanks this was so inspiring for a 12 yr old God bless u so much
