Leaving a stable job at Microsoft to pursue your own dream takes courage, congratulations on reaching 100k and the new journey ahead.
Thank you :)
❤️
Dude is literally motivating me to get my sh*t together and fight for my dreams
You better get your shit together.
I could never be brave enough to leave a $250,000 job
I would have said that 3-4 years ago. You'll change over time. But nothing wrong with taking the money, either!
I appreciate both perspectives!
Been following you since your Tech Inturn podcast haha. Congratulations, you deserve all the success man!
Love your straightforwardness in the manner you show us the mix-ups as well as the triumphs. Your posts are genuinely uplifting, showing us all the significance of profit investing...my prompt for students is to assemble here and get an enduring answer for their effective financial planning nightmares...no information is a waste.
Market is down actually, I've been looking into systems and evidently both bull and bear economic situation gives equivalent road to build enormous additions, I mean I've known about individuals making up to $300k during this accident and I might want to know how?
@@Drago250 i've really been considering arriving at a portfolio-consultant, my 401k and stocks been losing all that it's acquired beginning around 2019, mind assuming that I looked-into this one mentor you use?
Huge congrats dude! What an amazing accomplishment and to do it with your friend! Rooting for you guys!
your best vid yet Jason!!! congrats and can't wait to see what you build in YC you deserve it!!!

I first watched the how to get into waterloo when it had like 30 views. Looking back, we both have made lots of progress. I'm in Loo now and you are doing what your heart's been telling you to, and that's awesome! I truly wish you all the best in your new journey, Jason!
Congrats Tuong! Good luck with Waterloo :)
Bro this is awesome, this feels like my life in a way.
Got back in school,
Got a lot of opportunities going for me,
Looking to get a new job,
And meeting great people.
This is awesome
Congrats! Super inspiring story, you guys will do great! The video quality and editing is on another level as well!
this is awesome.. Thanks for sharing your experience in YC
Why did the guy quit his job at Microsoft and leave behind $250,000?
Because, like any sane person, he was stuck in a rut and wanted to take risks. He finally got his green card and decided to leave Microsoft to pursue his dream of starting a startup. But he realized that his safety net of a steady salary was holding him back and making him complacent. So he took the leap and quit his job, even though he would be making "zero" at first. I am trying to hop on the same boat honestly.
Man you HAVE to make this into a series! GOLDEN content!

@Fortbat PL startup series, so showing all the steps of his journey building a company
Hopefully that means you have more time to make more great YT videos! This video is a must-watch for anyone feeling stuck in their current career. Jason's story is a great reminder that sometimes taking a step back can lead to big leaps forward. Congrats on the well deserved success. Looking forward to seeing what you do at YC and all the cool people you meet along the way.
Hey Jason! Congratulations on achieving your green card and getting funding for your start-up! 6 months ago, I was clueless about where to start on my software engineering journey - and then I stumbled upon your video "How I would learn to code (if I could start over)" and I was hooked! Your videos were full of amazing stories and advices, and your bad jokes would make me laugh no matter how many times I watched. I'm in awe of how you've been able to do it all almost completely on your own. You have set a new bar for yourself and we are all here to watch and help you grow even more. You are an inspiration, keep it up!
(BTW the growth in the quality of your videos has been phenomenal)
Congrats Jason, great vid! I’m sure you’ll kill it with the new startup 💯 🔥
The editing and story telling of this video is amazing

Nice job!! Good luck bro! Is hard to get into YC! But you made it! Good luck!
I got thrills watching this, I am so happy for you Jason! Congrats on your new adventure 🎉
Thanks Anjali ☺️
Love the idea Jason! Would love to make sure that you are connecting it with a CRM or at least making sure that those APIs are built to handle doing that. I can see use cases but I know the companies I work with would want to make sure they were getting the data on their customers.
Congratulations and goodluck with everything!

The line you added " NOTHING I'VE EVER BUILT AS A SIDE PROJECT HAS EVER BEEN USED BY ANYBODY" is really for everyone, and it shows the path.
Have to start somewhere! Right?
@@JasonGoodison yeah that's right and you said the reality and that is what we viewer's needed.
It all so relatable what you said abt Microsoft and working there, I rly can imagine myself being in the same situation in a few years!
Awesome video, your storytelling ability is amazing!
Awesome hearing your story Jason.
Excited to see where you go next on your journey. But if anything is for certain, it's that you're going to crush it!
Hooow good!! Cant wait to see your journey! LFG
I feel like also the quality of your Videos has just improved very much.
In summary:

Congratulations Jason. Honestly thought you were quitting Microsoft for UA-cam but glad to see things worked out well for you. Hope I can get as good as you one day!
Congratulations.. wishing you all the best for future success
Super happy for you, Jason!
This is so wholesome. Watching the part where you missed the email, rescheduled, entered the wrong meeting link, rescheduled again was an emotional rollercoaster, bet it must have been the same for you guys too 😂
Glad it all turned out well. Best of luck to you guys!
Dude I was a mess those 3 days. I could hardly eat. Glad it worked out though haha
Loved this video!
Good on you for taking the risk and following your dreams. I 110% can not relate and would literally murder for that salary. Looking forward to seeing your journey now.
I really love all of your videos and how you share the things you have learned with the world for free!! 😄

I just wanted to comment congratulations on taking the plunge and choosing to quit your job. I can’t imagine how scary that leap really was but you are investing in yourself and your roommate and the dreams y’all have and that is simply incredible. I can only say I wish you all the luck I can. I joined this channel (and the discord) to try and learn some stuff and from what I’ve seen: I’m excited to see what’s next.

I don't know anything about coding and to be fair knowing what the journey will be like from you. Its wiser than wasting time in skills I will get stuck in a wormhole in
Wow that was like a movie. Took me through a roller coaster, just waiting to hear what the result was. Congrats Jason that’s awesome, take it to the moon
As a computer engineering student at the University of Waterloo, I aspire to be like you one day Jason. Congrats on getting into YC man 👌

This is amazing. Congratulations! May I ask if you had no product at all until the interview? or did you start building the prototype after submitting the application and were able to show a working demo during the interview?
