How I Spend My Software Engineer Salary (as a non-millionaire) 

To be honest,if you have a wide variety of knowledge and skills then the answer is NO!

Market has to decide.

Nope

yes tbh, i got 80k offers for front end only and i have been coding for just under 4 months, though i am not complaining and super happy, i dont even feel like i deserve it, maybe its just me though

Unfortunately in my country, Botswana in Africa they are underpaid :( $1800 is like the highest amount a Senior Developer gets

😂😂

hahahahah

His salary is pretty low for an SDE in SF though, I was expecting the 9500 amount to be the take home after all taxes. He does a pretty good job of budgeting without having roommates though, a 1 bedroom for 2200 is cheap

Were is that I may consider moving in the future

yeah i live outside of Richmond VA - my mortgage is about 1,400/month for a 2400 sf house. I remember my sister was paying more than twice that for an efficiency in boston at one point.

His Salary is extremely low for SF though. People make 12-13k per month out of college there. My last week in SF, I was at 74/hr with basically the same experience he did. Moved away to take care of my family, not because of CoL.

@@caraziegel7652 When I lived in Chester VA I was able to rent a 2 story 3 bed 2 bath apartment for 1,100 a month. Now in Oklahoma I can rent apartments that are 4 bed 3 bath for as low as 800 a month in some places. I haven't chose a specific apartment to live in yet in oklahoma but I have a roomate and that halves the rent, so its pretty nice!

proly on that gme wagon

It's because there's a video named equal as this video but it says "as a millionaire"

@@greyshopleskin2315 Really? Haha, that's funny, they should've made a joke about that, huh?

got the reference hahaha

Tech Lead is a troll. Check Tren Black out

Tech Lead is a troll, and sources on the internet says he didnt leave all those companies, he was literally fired from all of them. Then he goes on the internet youtubes to try to teach people.... too funny. Why would someone want to learn from a person who literally gets fired from every major company?? If you ever hear on youtube from a software engineer that says "I left my job because I made enough money" -- its complete bullshit.. they got fired....lol

@@TwstedTV I work at one of the big tech companies. People leave all the time to pursue other things. Some people don’t like SWE work and have earned to retire by the time they are 35 and move to LCOL areas. They also can move to other companies or make startups. People change and even if you like SWE work now, later in life you may change priorities and may value time with your family or other hobbies.

My thought exactly :D ...much love to TechLead btw

I always have a hard time telling whether Tech Lead is being obnoxious or funny… his sense of humor is so dry can never tell if that guy is just joking or taking himself seriously 😆

For me, something like 6500$ sounds like a crazy numbers, coz for us, to earn even a thousand dollars is good xD

@@user-jn1px7rp3h Oh yes, in Slav countries we really earn money next to nothing. The pension in the country which I live in starts at like 100USD, for people with diabetes, etc. And making 500 euro, or like 700USD is good here. I will probably make around 3-4k USD, at most as a software engineer here, it could be different if I went to the capital city and got a good deal with a famous company, but that's not easy.

I recall earning 100k in SF is considered poor lol, these areas are ruthless man.

@@hoangnguyenvuhuy5535 100k is definitely not poor in SF.

@@richarddurkee4617 mb it is family income of 117k is considered low income

whats a "girl"

“ he is or he’s” NOT HIS....

I wanted to be a software engineer but coding is boring to me man. Sad.

@@user-qy6tu9ip9v yeah don't go into the field if you're not interested in it. You might want to try going into a related field like product or project management. They still make good money and don't code.

@@travis1240 I think it's the introductory portion of coding that bores me. I will look into your recommendation.

Ayo, can I live there too?

My thoughts exactly

@@Maknopono - I lived in Palo Alto for 2 years, which is a 45 minute drive south of San Francisco, and even more expensive. (SF is an expensive large city, but there are even more expensive smaller communities that surround it.) I was spending $2,300 on a 400 sq.ft. apartment, and $100 a week on groceries....and that was AFTER getting 1/2 of my meals free at work. (I was paying for weekend meals and dinner, basically.) And that was basic Safeway shopping - vegetables and rice and sausage and milk and almonds and whatnot. (Note that the reason I was paying this was that my company re-located me to there, and paid for me to live close to work, so that I would commute via shuttle and bicycle, rather than drive in. Seriously - parking was THAT BAD. They actually got fined by the city of Palo Alto if they had more than a certian number of cars go in and out of their campus on a daily basis. With that, my cycle commute was 30 minutes, and 10 minutes when I drove.) Of course, the neighborhood was almost stupidly nice - in a "Yes, that's a 4 million dollar re-model. Oh, hey: nice 6-bedroom 1900's farmhouse. What, only a 2 million mid-century duplex? Dude, you're slumming it." While he could probably cut down on eating out, yes: what he's describing is living relatively frugally in San Francisco. An only real larger option would be to go for a larger house, but split with a roommate. That could probably cut his rent by $500/month, maybe. (SF housing prices have been tanking in recent months, but a 2-bed condo is looking to be $2,800 or so.) I'd also argue that his decision to go with a shorter lease is hanging him up - at least with my rental agency, the cost of lease breaking was 1 month of rent; as such, if he's going to be living there for more than a few months, it makes more sense to go for the longer lease, and save the difference to pay for the break. (However, perhaps his lease agreement is different. Or if his "a couple of hundred" is per-year, rather than per-month.)

Hahahaha

Damn here in India I pay 8$ a month for 300Mbps fiber connection. But ofcourse US wins in EVERY other aspects.

How many years of experience you have

isn't 3700$ too less for someone living in USA ? Nowadays even in India you can make 2000-3000$ as software engineer and live a lavish lifestyle because cost of living is less (its 0.3$ for a cup of coffee)

What's good? How's the journey? I'm about to start mine off.

Everything costs more in Canada (except tuition and prescription drugs).

This is less than a brazilian Software engineer makes how much you make before taxes?

@@foca2002 around 3000

It was a joke 🙃

Give me all of your money and I'll prove you wrong.

Owning bitcoin is not enough but investing and trading it to earn more and increase your portfolio is of paramount importance as for me I trade with a professional and my crypto portfolio has been on a steady increase Make massive income trading in crypto Contact mr Hwang through telegram @Investwith_Hwang

If I were you and want to learn how to invest, sign up with a company like E-Trade. You can invest real money or you can start with a "paper trading" account where you try it out with fake money. Honestly though buying ETFs like an S&P 500 ETF in a brokerage is easy as pie.

California has the highest state income tax in the country.

Thank you! 😄

Maybe you guys should meet in his 1bd flat.
