Want To Make Six Figures Per Year? TRY THIS

In this video I'm going to tell you how to make six figures per year in your twenties. If you're already thirty, that's fine too just imagine this video was titled how to make six figures per year in your thirties. When I first graduated from college in 2014 I found myself making $60k per year which was a perfectly fine salary but I felt like I could do better. In just two years I was able to increase my salary to over $100k per year, and by the time I was 30 I was making over $200k per year.

As with every single video I do about software engineering, if you have any questions or comments please let me know below 😊

Okay so I want to do an experiment with the YouTube Algorithm. This video won't tell you how to make Passive Income: 6 ways to make $100 per day and I don't have 6 millionaire habits that changed my life. Really the housing market is out of control and the truth about a 6 figure income will surprise you.

How to make a 6-figure income by age 25 is completely possible, Justin Roberts - Six Figures is more than enough proof. I can't tell you how I made six figures my first year on YouTube because I didn't. That's it though, no 5 years of coding - everything I've learned and I can't tell you how I learned react JS in 7 days maybe one day I'll give you some programmer desk essentials, but not today.

Great video! Glad that you brought up cost of living. I feel like a lot of people forget to mention that when talking about software developer salaries. After almost 4 years I'm almost at 6 figures but my salary and total package is really good for the cost of living in my area. You also made really good moves to increase your pay! Everyone knows that the best way to get a raise as a developer is to find a new job 😂

[AzualArts]

still a better channel than some people who have 100k+

[treywilliams]

Your channel is awesome . Can’t wait to learn how to be a software engineer

[captjohnny]

It's SOOO refreshing to see and hear about your experiences...glad to see that now software is getting the respect and $$$ it deserves....compare that to sports and entertainment where "talent" is questionable (at best)...try consulting...you're made for it.

I live in Chicago and I'm in my senior year looking to go to Saint Xavier or other universities for a CS bachelors, watching your video has inspired me alot and I hope to be making a happy living when I reach my early 20's.(I also felt very safe that I can be a software engineer without being good at math)

[Lovelyminidonuts]

Starting college at 26.. late to the game but I’m working hard and hopefully I’ll get their.

[rogeliol]

Wow this is great lots of awesome details! I was asking around the office @ yello for course recommendations....but this is on another level

[avinash-dhumal]

Honestly, last month, I just got a job as a Frontend developer at the age of 25 and try to enhance my skill so I could land at least 6 figure job, and might be I start a new channel so I could learn and share knowledge at the same time. I binge-watching your channel...😅

[ameerskater]

why have you not gone onto one of the big tech companies like apple google etc and also great video and great insight thank you.

[kestrallvector]

I started at 23 with 6 figure salary, but I pretty much am stuck at the same salary.

[newtec-kdvy]

Definitely regretting doing mechanical engineering after this video😂😂

[anandwarriors]

Do you recommend a master's degree in computer science?

[Manishsharma-tjnn]

Please share some of your reason you share with HR's on jumping jobs? I need them

[aashishupadhyay]

what are opportunities in remote jobs like if i m non US resident and want to work in US companies remotely what are the career options as a software developer and how to get one? what are the interview process or something like that looks like?

[livestronger]

Do you know anything about GIS and their jobs?

[chriscruz]

Hey Cody,

What are the top 5 technologies that you are using this year for software development?

[DaveJacobseniOS]

Great points Cody! It's cool to hear your progression and I'm super glad I made the career change. Still in my first role but poised to reach 6 figures by 30 :)

It definitely takes hard work but like you said once you break in, it's super doable to move up and increase your salary at a rate higher than most industries.

[business_central]

I am on a data scientist journey, and frankly I'm now questioning if I shouldn't start over to get to software engineering.
Do you have any take on data scientist vs swe careers ? And salary? Do you advise to rather start over and get to swe ??

[fuzzydark]

Would tech companies based on the US usually ask people from abroad to move into the country to work, or remotely working is a possibility nowaday? Taking this whole covid factor into account...

[TheChartwhisperers]

Thanks for saying you suck at maths. Lol I thought I was the only one who loves coding but hates maths.
