Bro outearned my entire bloodline by his mid-20s

Thanks for this super transparent video Neet. I've always felt behind the pack because I moved to a high COL city with my fiancée and haven't found a "big tech" job yet. These numbers helped me realize I'm doing relatively just fine. Now I know what to expect when a big tech job lines up.

Those amounts sound unreal outside of US bubble 😢

badass outro "if you can get more money, in any circumstance, and you're not getting that, technically you are underpaid"

I made $234k at a startup as an entry level in SF, faang isn’t the highest paying anymore. If you’re looking to make a ton as an entry level engineer, find a tech unicorn to work for at a risk of overworking and burning out but you learn a lot :)

[reaganz]

the fact that I was there for the livestreams and you asking us to ask these questions is killing me 🤣

[vishwajeet]

these unscripted quesions is all that we crave for

[mikejakusz]

Thanks for the breakdown! That's super insightful :) really big fan of all your content!

[MylesTheGreat]

Do more livestreams they are actually super enjoyable lol

[aznstride]

That’s a bit surprising, as an L4 (entry level) at Amazon, I make $180k(seattle/cali), which is broken down as $130k base, $45k Sign on bonus, and like $5k RSU (very little in first year).

I use to think Google will pay you a lot more or at least around the same amount, and looked forward to joining it (bc of the assumed pay and thought it would be more chill 😂)

Now I wonder if these tech YouTubers are lying when they see they have received an offer with total comp of $300k, $360k (like jomatech and some other YouTubers have said)… those amounts are probably for senior levels or above and managers.. (or I thought that’s probs google)

But hey appreciate you for sharing your salary, something almost no one does. Please share more about your day of life on Google. Like are there standups everyday? Do you have to present or demo frequently? Do you have to participate in a lot of design reviews in a room of several seniors, and what’s that process like (is it scary)

[haha-egfj]

This is like 3 times what you would get as a 1 YOE software engineer in Australia.

[torresoso]

Thank you for answering *my* question!

[FailMachineInc]

There's a pattern for certain part of the world being absolutely moronic in the chat, 0 respect for free content lmao

[jackfrost]

Binge watched your half-dozen videos and this is my new favourite channel.
You are gonna blow up with these amazing contents.

[InconspicuousChap]

It's important that these figures matched those you declare to IRS :-)

[lawniczakjohn]

What about lunch cafeteria, gym, healthcare? I think FAANG gives you all the best goodies.

[hjewkes]

I was so confused until I realized Google uses L3 for entry level. The companies I've worked for started L1 (interns didn't have a level), so L4 was like senior or staff level and should be 300+ TC

[WC]

Ima cry if this is real bro wtf? I thought most SENIOR software engineers, web devs, etc., made like mid $100, 000s like $130, 000-$150, 000 a year.

[unathorizdwatermelon]

I'm an L2 at google but I'm not a swe. Im a datacenter technician and enjoy it!

[marcounder]

these numbers.... In Portugal as a software developer with ~6 years exp, people should be making 40k-55k
