LET'S GO, GYASIIII!!!!
I love the fact that you are one of the Coding related UA-camrs that has found a way to merge quality cinematography with coding related content. For the longest time, it almost seemed like seating in front of a monitor with an IDE open was the way to go or that only people into photography content are allowed to make movie like type of content. KEEP UP COMING CHAMP 💪
I appreciate this comment more than you can imagine thank you for this 🙏🏽
hes a glorified graphic designer dont give him too much credit
You are really levelling up the Quality of your videos! Very inspirational, keep it up!
I appreciate that!
Fire video as usual Gyasi!!
Great video! I love your content. Keep creating
this was a great video, huge fan of the channel overall!
Big Congrats & Welcome to NYC!!
Gyasi! Love your channel and your insights. It's encouraging and I'm excited to combine my interests and tech :)
Good stuff - thanks for the illumination.
Great video Gyasi! Thanks for sharing your NYC tech story.
Thank you 🙏🏽
favorite channel out there rn 🙏
I love your high quality videos! Thanks for sharing your spending of a week, it really gave me a good insight on how much daily expenses in NY could add up! Keep up the good work bro 😊
It depends on your income. Your can easily drop millions in a week or a mere $50 depends on your lifestyle and being smart with spending
Young Goat! Fire Content!
Great video Gyasi. Glad you're getting a chance to live where you want and obtaining job satisfaction. Been following you for a while. It's very motivating..
I appreciate that Tre 🙏🏽
Your videos always inspire me to with the perspective of a software industry. It’s a dream of mines .
Nice im in the process of filming this as well
Thank you and def going to check it out!
WWWWW
Jeez can't wait
Living my life bro, same are and all! Lol but I can’t wait to crack one of these interviews man. Great vid!💪🏽
Always a inspiration , great video !
Thank you!
Definitely helping me on my journey SWE!
Been watching you since I was 15 when I got interested in programming. It was a wholesome moment meeting you at McD’s lol. Keep up the good content. 💪
Hope your journey is going well - Keep it up - its a nice space to be in
Love to see this pop up in my feed! Currently getting a Software Development degree and hoping to move to NYC as well. Keep killing it out there and get that bag 👌🏽
Software development or computer science
@@rokrok27 software development from WGU (:
I have completed the bachelor of Technology in these year and since one month ago I would seeing the your videos very motivational and desirable for future beginners.
3:55 Be aware of Costco prices. Prices shown on the shelves are different from what they actually charge at the clerk. Me and my friend caught them a week ago.
We were about to pay $330 while the actual total after verification was $198.
I'm talking about Costco on East Harlem E116st and pleasant ave.
Good luck champ
i said "oh, gyasi's on cnbc make it!" smart thumbnail, great video!
You're amazing Gyasi. 💪
Love the video bro!! I found you through tiktok and then subscribed to your channel here on youtube 😊 Great content love it, inspires me to create content on my tech journey too.
Thank you so much 😁
Hey Gyasi, I was wondering if you can let us know what javascript topics are the most important to know and understand when landing your first front end job. Thanks for the videos btw !
I’m a software dev in Seattle. Our Costco receipts are usually $600+. Family of 5 though.
Doin it up my boi
Thank you fam!
That is insane just how different the price of living is across this country. By the way, your content is such high quality man.
The first years before the promotions are the hardest ones for junior developers. After the first promotion everything starts to be better.
@@CrimsonKing666 That is a great point.
Thank you for sharing! such a fun place to live it is so hard not to spend money!! Simply Blessed! 🙂
Thank you and it really is!
@@GyasiLinje 😇😇😇
@@jaifleming2973 hii
Great video and love your content. I have been watching your channel for awhile and I was wondering if you do mentorship? I'm also living in New York and have been learning to code, focusing on frontend. if you can please help me with some guidance or validation as to what level I'm at and what do I need to do next. keep giving us content like this and how a weekly work flow goes for a frontend engineer. that a lot. oh and another thing I really like your monitor so could you leave a link to where I can get 1 please?
Hey Gyasi, been loving your content has been motivating for my front end web dev journey so far. I had a question regarding what skills are actually needed for a front end engineer. I seen one of your videos titled “Front-End Engineer Day in life”.It’s so hard trying to find even a article on it.
I would say follow these orders - HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, BOOTSTRAP. Then adapt any framework -> Angular or React or Vue.
Living in NYC will definitely bring the cost of living up especially in the city. So $451 seems pretty valid. Also those garage park spaces are for people who live outside of the 5 boroughs lol so just plan accordingly next time. Welcome to NYC! 🙏🏾
- another software engineer in tech whose living in hungry as’f nyc.
love ur content in on instagram and youtube. Would be amazing that you stream some of your coding sesions !!!
Hey Gyasi, so glad you got to move to your dream location! Where did you move from? Hope you're able to settle in and find a community there. Best wishes :)
I get paid $570 every week, so hearing this sort of makes me excited to continue learning coding and eventually being able to spend without a stress.
Hi I love your laptop stand! Where did you get it from? :)
Your job is exactly what I want to become one day. Do you think computer science is a good major to pursue your career path?
more nyc vlogs!
can't believe you're 26 Gyasi, Love from Zimbabwe continue inspiring bro
Thank you for the supporting and glad to hear that my channel has inspired 😃
Like they say, Age is just a number - the best part of being in the TECH space is that its never too late or too early 💯
@@festus-obi sure thing, here it can be problem because of lack of resources
Very educative content, your Gyasi makes me believe you have some Ghanaian lineage
Totally get not being able to resist cute cafés, they draw you in!
the challenge w/ working in nyc and living in jersey city is that you pay taxes in BOTH states..so it really eats into your check
Welcome to the Greater NYC area. My in-home food bill is $800 per month for a family of four. I’d say get super discipline on spending, that is, constantly evaluating money spent vs utility gained. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you need something that is simply a “desire”. And don’t think of it as being cheap, it’s being smart about your spending, that’s how the wealthy think about money. You got this!
Lol Gyasi you gotta pop the hood and leave hazard lights on 😂😂😂
I thought this was a CNBC Make it video lol they should interview you.
Hey bro I really appreciate your content with the work and time that you put in I’m from jersey I’m a federal usps employee in my twenties but I wanna get into a higher level carrier that’s in high demand I can retire that will be able to see the benefits of stock options along with equity I really appreciate any advice you can give me when starting for someone like myself that doesn’t have any experience with software engineering god bless bro
Do you have any videos on your salary by chance?
Costco ... the battle of "what you going there for" vs "what you come home with" 😂
I am from brazil, but I Love watch your vídeos :)😀
Where you get the beanie 👀?
Cool to see you move to NYC. I m here but I m out lol I m moving to Florida. My place here has sold, just waiting for the bank to finish processing the loan for the buyers and I m gone
Where are you staying? I can recommend some places to save on rent if you want to hear it. NYC is expensive if you are not from here. There are places you can save money but you gotta travel. I live in Riverdale. I worked at the MoMA before the pandemic right across from that Starbucks you got coffee at
As a fellow youtuber it is def good to see good content from a software engineer who is also colored. Good stuff bro!
Riverdale is expensive but safe, lol.
@@Charlie-gv3zt downtown Manhattan is way more expensive which is where people who move here new think they have to live or Brooklyn (then new BK)
@@UrbanBDKNY True!
I don't understand what it's about New York that gives you the ability to connect to people all around the world work-related.
If that's the NJ LA Fitness you gotta add that $20 toll to the list lol
Hello Gyasi, I am currently debating whether I should continue my education on my computer science degree or if I should try a boot camp since I’ve heard that both give out the same results career wise yet one is 6 months and the other is 4 years. Would you recommend I should drop out and just join a boot camp?
That's a decision you should make on your own. If you feel you can learn and pick up on subjects faster then go with a boot camp. But college is good to learn at a moderate speed and also depending on the university you go to it can be easier to get connected with alumni or other staff/students around school who have experience with established tech companies to land internships.
Great video! I've been following your channel since you were in Ohio and it's nice to see NY through the eyes of a transplant. I've heard good things about Burger & Lobster, but haven't gone because I'm allergic to seafood.
Note: I've been to the Starbucks location mentioned and it is on 6th avenue and 43rd street. They also play really great music in that location as well.
Looking forward to seeing more NY-related videos!
What neighborhood in NYC has a costco nearby?
How do you like NYC so far 😃👍
Great video!!!! Crazy parking fees!!!!
Thank you and they're the worst.
Is there anyway I can reach you for a coffee chat?
Like the branded youtube we want but we all secretly know it was all holding us back. A true imagineer. Obsess.
wow that's one of the reason of why I don't like NYC, like you can make alot of money but you never stop expending :(. But good video by the way.
👏🏾
To be a black great software engineer is really inspiring for younger people
Amen
Yessir!!!!!
Hi Gyasi!
Is there a difference between a front end software engineer and a web developer? If yes, please explain the difference. Thank you!
You can google it
this is my dream..
Ok seriously BIG MISTAKE. How do u like in NY and try to drive around. NOT THE BEST IDEA - AT ALL. Be one with the subway and Taxi cab. It's the best option
$4 for Fiji water... no greater inspiration to remember your bottle in the future!!!
$250 grocery shopping!! $4 water, $10 coffees😐
Nicely shot video though😂
I’m a huge fan. Love your videos, I myself am a black software engineer. I’m a native New Yorker. I see you live in New Jersey. Don’t think it’s right that you saw you moved to NYC when you didn’t. Different state, different taxes, different laws.
Get a high quality coffee machine. That’ll save you soo much on your $4 Starbucks you get everyday. Awesome video though
Hs 400 dollars 👀 if I spend 100 it is too too much, I recommend everybody learn how to cook, easy recipes, maybe do a meal prep it will save you tons of money :D
I'm still having a issue understanding why can't people make these big bucks remotely from a low cost of living state?
People are!
@@Koricometh thanks for replying. It always confuses me because I see ppl move to places like Silicon Valley, but the cost of living is ridiculous (to me, atleast).
Great video. Now, stay out of the restaurants. Eat Your ground turkey, ground beef and salmon at home👍🏼
My last Costco trip was $1098.........
I recommend reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, the richest man in Babylon, the millionaire next door. I’ve been diving deep into personal finance myself & have learned a lot
Props to you for landing the position & moving to the NYC metro area. My hometown it teeming with people diverse backgrounds, talented, intelligent.
You should just move to NYC; you may be able to give up the car. I’ve never own a car & can get around just fine. Good luck
We wanted to see how much you spend when you wanna treat yourself 😭
Come on man 4$ for a water bottle. In India, it's 13 cents per bottle. Looks like US's inflation is hitting citizens hard
Sheesh $4 for water. $34 for parking. No thanks.
Yo ... Gyasi ... you're only 26?!?!
Gyasi are you Ghanaian?
He’s got an American accent how could he be Ghanian??
It doesn’t matter though….Gyasi is actually a Ghanaian name
lmao
video starts at 3:22
Your videos have helped me reach over $180,000 in trading by age 23! Thanks Gyasi Linje. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏽
Congrats ! I started right before covid when the recession hit. i made a lot during covid from my passive income .
I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
Congrats and wishing you the best .
@kim sun When I was 20 ,but you need a finance Pro if you don’t want to loose and if you want to be more successful.
@kim sun Follow⬇⬇
Do you live with someone why do you keep saying we ?
.
Thts how much i spend for my entire month and that goes with saying including my ,rent,electricity bills,etc.
Kerala daa😝😝
But you have lower salary.
why so many dislikes guys
Cap
This is horrible money management. He gave in to every urge and even ate out on the week he bought groceries. Why did even make this video? Good cinematography though.
I'm not quite sure what the point of this video was. Random spending including a large restock shopping trip but no big ticket bills.
Felt more like a Dice advert with trailers.
By the way dice is horrible!!
Bro get an EZ pass , the toll would be 13 bucks
