🏴‍☠️ WHO AM I 🏴‍☠️
Welcome to PIRATE KING. I'm a Software Engineer, and ex-Software Engineer at Microsoft, Amazon, and ebay. Apart from my full-time job, I also provide career advice and mentorship to prospective Software Engineers. Here, we talk about tips and tricks on how to land a successful career in tech.

📝 DESCRIPTION 📝
Software engineers make a decent income in the US. I even bragged about rejecting Google's $360k offer in favor of a better opportunity. What do they do with all that money? Do they all have an extravagant lifestyle? In this video, I share how I spend my monthly income. Remember, wealth isn't defined by how much you make but by how much you spend.

This guy has the skills to get paid in a lucrative yet arguably highly competitive field AND still put effort to generate top tier Youtube contents. Wew

Thank you for being honest about the fact that you don't just come out of a 6 month coding bootcamp and walk into a $400k entry level position. So many influencers are selling beginners the dream without mentioning clearly how long it took them, the setbacks they faced on the way and the unfair advantages they had like fat checks from family while they are struggling to get into the industry while some other people would have to work odd jobs to survive. You have to work your way up there.

5k is fine with 30k income. Good expense to income ratio, even after taxes and other deductions if we cut that to 15k. You should be under 40% net on expenses and you're doing well.

This man inspired me to wake up and continue my coding. I appreciate you man.

[dekyne]

Their's like 3 tech bros I watch about Software engineer you, Frying Pan and Joma Tech and ya'll literally motivate me during my training. I just want to live a nice quite life as a expat can't wait for the end result.

Pirate King - I think you have a reasonable budget given your income. Nice. I would suggest to everyone the first investment step is participate in your company's 401k. Most companies match and you can put up to $20, 500 into that pre-tax every year.

This video was very thorough and well rounded in terms of information and spending/area costs. Thanks for the work and content!

[dicklambert]

I am not even a software engineer nor anything related to tech but I really enjoy your videos.

[Sandy-juiu]

My income deductions came to 35% in my last job earning 43, 000. I can't imagine how many institutional people want their piece of a 360k pie.

[Murphistic]

C'mon, we need more extravagant spending, so we can see an angry Graham reaction. This is too good :D

[twinkly_]

Thanks for breaking this all down in a very concise, easy to understand manner!! Hope ur youtube continues to do well

[jejunegamingtv]

earning so much but still saving alot and not splurging. much respect

[MattXChrist]

At first before clicking on this I was thinking this is another cocky guy rambling on about an exaggerated video but listening in and hearing the honesty helped me out a lot as I’ve always wanted insight into the reality of a software engineers salary and spending habits

[iannugroho]

Wow you're so cool man, being able to only spend that low with that high income. Much respect

[beforeandafterphotos]

Good on you. Live below your means. It's crazy, I have a 2500k house and my mortgage is 551 a month. Location sure changes that.

[headcase]

Ngl, Mint mobile looking pretty nice. Currently paying $70/month when in actuality, I do not use my phone enough to warrant spending this much. Looking to switch of T-Mobile to Mint to save money :)

[strovich]

We’re actually doing well regardless of 5 people and 3 cats in our home. We order groceries online for pickup so we don’t overspend and eating out for us is anything a coupon can buy. I recently found out I’m celiac so o can’t really eat out anymore so it keeps me eating at home more often.

[michaelnoardo]

you are lucky, here in the Netherlands we pay something close to 51% of taxes, if you raise 10k/month, 5k gets retained to the government

[millyhsieh]

how can this honest content creator not appear in my youtube algorithm sooner?
