My Tech Salary Progression 

And certainly had to spend just as much to afford living there too but yes, he was still left with a lot of savings 😂

Where are you guys from? This is actually not the top band salary here. I feel like neet was severely underpaid given his talents.

U.S isn't a bubble. Companies make more money, people get paid more. Same goes for different markets in different countries.

it’s not a bubble bruh. most jobs in the US pays more in any industry

He also lives in Seattle which is already a high cost of living area of the US. Not to mention with as much money as these companies make and pay the CEOs this type of pay should be standard at companies at this level.

People in NA, UK and EU don't realise how lucky they are. I used to work as a telecom engineer and made 4k USD and then as an SDE 2 at Oracle for 10k USD a year in India. If I were to do that in the US, I would make x20 that. Indian regulatory laws are so dumbfound, their mob mentality wont let companies come in or progress to happen. Just so much talk for becoming the world's largest economy by 2050. This country is going nowhere.

@@LoyalSlime Your guys cost of living is wayyyy less though

hello Myles

How much is the pay breakdown?

No we're not... More like 20% or if so I'd like to know where you got that offer from because I recently scored an offer as C++ dev in military (got 3 years of xp in the industry) in Pardubice and will be making something like 40k/year and I already feel like I'm filthy rich and asking a cent more would make them think I'm crazy.

@@martinprochazka3714 Prague, American corporation, senior position, 20 years of experience. Something like $70k/y including all the bonuses and pension contributions and stuff like this.

Yeah, this is absolutely crazy. As an intern?? Wtf??

Half of 3800 bi weekly is what a mid level software dev makes in Portugal

They also pay 3k a month for a studio, but yeah.

youtube streams chat is always weird

3800 pre tax is not 100k and if its 3800 post tax its def more than 100k

@@StfuSiriusly well 3800*26=98.8k so either he made more than full time offer or he gave pretax numbers

⁠@@letmeseeunot sure if you have a job but TC usually doesn’t include benefits such as 401k and health insurance. These are worth a ton in the US. Also interns are NOT worth 50 dollars an hour to begin with lol (unless they accept return offers and work for a year or two). Most don’t do anything speaking from experience and get paid a ton of money just to train them a bit and get them to accept return offers. No intern’s work over 8-10 weeks will recoup the 30-50k spent to onboard them (this is hyperbole I’m sure at least one has). Remember the Twitter intern who was tasked to fix the algorithm or something? Clearly he didn’t do that or anything useful in his 8 weeks. Where having interns is good for companies is the ease of recruiting full time employees which costs a lot of money. It’s much easier to send return offers than to recruit on LinkedIn. If you also don’t know 100k is a lot of money for new grads and only a few companies paid 150-250k for entry level in 2019.

I’m not a SWE, I’m a UX Researcher and I actually feel a lot better after seeing this video. I know my potential won’t get close to his. But going from an internship extension at 50k, to a Google contract at 77k and then my first FTE salary at 120k + 15% yearly bonus and a 3 year tiered RSU of $3,500 capping at $10,500 yearly (after 3 years) at an ancient healthcare Corp isn’t too shabby. Now that I maxed my RSU vest my TC after 4 years of merit is 165k and I feel like it’s under payed not seeing a promotion in that time. Maybe I should be grateful, but I’m looking around to see what offers are out there. Totally agree, “if you can get more, technically, you’re under payed”.

yeah, all pretax

I'm not sure what you're talking about 🤭

@@NeetCodeIO 😂😂😂😂

where do u work that they’re paying 185k for aero and what i’m assuming is 4 years experience??

I don't know how stable aerospace engineering is but all these tech layoffs sucks

@@johnstewart5221 I’m a DoD government contractor. My role actually requires 8 years of specialized experience with 12 years overall experience, but they reached out to me I guess because it’s hard to find people with active clearances and relevant degrees. Before this job, I worked entry level at $75k.

@@Gin-mz5wo my government contract is unstable lol. It’s a 1 year contract with 4 optional years. Usually the government pays those option years, but there’s no guarantee they will. And those option years get decided on each year, so they could do it year 1 and cancel the other 4, or do year 1 and 2, then cancel the other 3, etc. That’s kinda why I’d rather be in software. Even if I only worked at FAANG for 1 year and I made $400k as a mid-level developer, I’d have enough saved to be unemployed for at least 3 years just off that job the way I save money. I save over half of my income now because I live frugally.

Bruh it was a livestream. You want him to do that mid livestream?

@@learningalgos614they can choose not to pick up the question. Sharing nonfactual fact is useless info. Misinformation is worse than not sharing at all

You can scrape through glassdoor if u are actually looking to investigate a company.

L4 is Amazon’s entry-level SWE role. L5 pay band can is 250k-350k in the US if memory serves me right. You don’t need to be senior to get 350k TC but you do need a few years of experience

Also, Amazon’s levels are inflated compared to Google. An L4 in Amazon is comparable to an L3 at Google.

300k for L4 which was the case for Joma is believable. Freshly promoted people at Google will not immediately see their higher compensation until after they get a full promoted equity refresher (which can take up to 1 year depending on timing), and you also have to wait until the grants from the previous years are replaced with your promoted refresher grants. New hires get that level grant immediately. When I got promoted to l4 at Google my TC was just under 200k but a few years later it was 310k at the same level.

His offers are lower than other people talk about because his years of experience are lower at the time. 300k+ in faang is normal if you have 5+ yrs.

The top end in Australia such as Google and any of the trading firms pay decently if you look in AUD terms

120k aud is average for 3yr xp in aust yeah?

@@ryansamarakoon8268 You could say that, but the headcount of new employees each year is one or two digits, so the competition is probably higher than in the US.

Do they ask leetcode in their interviews

@@MahimDashoraHackR yes. But it’s mostly class based design but you also have to know the algorithm. If anything, it’s a bit harder. I worked at flexport and I know stripe has a similar interview process

Is that all liquid?

@@Primoh nah its 140 base, 24 bonus and 70 stock

Just out of curiosity, what was your rent in SF?

Was he just acting for RU-vid content 😂😂??

​@@raghavsytdoes Twitch's chat look like that?😂😂😂

@@adrian333dev all I can say is he is a great actor🤣

That's great for a new grad but peanuts when you are 30.

If you ever get a kid, that money evaporates quickly. Haha. I make about 150ish in the EU, and between taxes, childcare, mortage... WHEW.

13/hr was for a math tutoring job *before* the internship. The internship was def more than that.

@@NeetCodeIO oh my bad lol, I thought u were talking abt ur internship when u said 13/hr lol

He was saying that $13/hr was the highest he had been paid before getting the internship.

@@alexbrady6049 Thanks I didn't catch the past tense either.

Gross

Always gross. Everyone in US talks about income before taxes and all. It's normal.

Amounts are always gross, because the net can vary by many factors and be different for everyone
