You guys don’t know how lucky you are to be American and be able to choose jobs and reject six figure salaries. I’m from Zimbabwe and getting a job is a miracle. Like seriously, I hope you appreciate how lucky you are🙏🙏🙏

[goodvibesonly]

imagine getting so good at your craft that you can reject such offers instead of celebrating that you've gotten such an offer. Goals man, Goals

[BurakcanAytac]

This is the first video that I watch from you I totally enjoyed all the cut scenes like "Peace". Keep it going man and thank you for your influence.

Huge fan!! I came across your channel literally 2 days ago and am already a big fan! Great knowledge, personality, and skillset. Looking forward.

[usui]

man, I still remember the early days here and on discord. few channels and you were asking for recommendations on what to add specifically. The community has come a long way. I love it!

[VandalAuthentic]

finally going back to school to get my BAS in software development. I'm so anxious but your videos have really have humbled me!! It's so good to know your worth as such an experienced engineer, I'm so excited to finally get back into coding.

[akassebaum]

Holy crap, that's a huge number to give up. I am sure you're worth every penny. It's good to know what your worth is and sticking to it.

[ZoeysMusings]

"Hey Google, I don't have time here." 😂You rock, Daniel. Happy you found something more in line with your goals and values.

I'm just a new cs college grad and I don't know why this video gave my such a great confidence that I'll turned down some giant company's offer in the future because I will get better offer from another and make me feel I deserve better

[acharya]

seeing this guy grow from 20k to 100k gives me peace
I love the fact that you have never failed to entertain a niche audience
and your discord is very supportive

[PIRATEKINGDOM]

To those who think I'm arrogant or ungrateful because I turned down Google, that's like saying someone's arrogant or ungrateful because they rejected a $9/hr job over a $10/hr one. I worked at a restaurant washing dishes at $10/hr for nearly a year in the past (when I was a student), but never have I once thought of myself as arrogant or ungrateful for ditching another restaurant that offered $9/hour. There's nothing wrong with valuing yourselves guys. Lastly, I just want to say that I value your thoughts and you're free to speculate, but you can't generalize who I am from a 6-minute video alone.

Congrats! Google is known for pretty lowball offers due to prestige and all the benefits it provides (and tbh there are a lot). There's even an internal joke where the excuse for the lowball is "we pay 5-10% of the market" lmao. But overall I think it boils down to the team (at least for me). If the difference between the offers is around 20%, I would choose one which has better WLB and more interesting work. I hope you enjoy your new endeavor!
P.S. Was that for L4? I believe that would be high band of L4 or low band for L5, latter is more likely though.

He’s not accepting it to become an ex-Microsoft ex-Amazon Tech Lead

[MA-ekxl]

I can’t imagine working at Google just trying to do your job and have a normal life and having to deal with guys who have YouTube channels and are TikTok influencers as your coworkers

[SomeoneAlive]

Refreshing video. ❤ I like your presentation skill, it’s really fun🤣

[DriveandThrive]

I love how he has worked for YEARS at Microsoft but they still had him do a technical interview for insane leetcode questions 😂😂😂

[angeloliwanag]

Lmfao I couldn’t stop laughing bro. Your videos are informative & funny as hell at the same time

[kouyang]

pirate king's on a journey to go through all the tech giants to collect all the techstones. he already has 2. only then can he restore balance to the techworld with the infinity gauntlet🤣🤣🤣

[chillappreciator]

I'm glad for you) Also quit my last big tec comp a week ago. But the problem is I don't want to work in a companies anymore)

[ahmedal-ameen]
