How to Become a Top 1% Software Engineer

Here’s the SECRET to becoming a top 1% software engineer. It has nothing to do with code. It has nothing to do with technical skills. It’s all about your soft skills and how you sell yourself.

I’m currently a big tech software engineer earning $220,000 at the age of 22. I recently got promoted to mid level and I want to share all the secrets I discovered on the way!

This event took place at Mountain View, California with an audience of close to 200 people. I was invited to speak at this event hosted by Headstarter AI.

The Customer Obsession point was key for me. It's not about your engineering prowess but about how the customer's life is improved by the work you do. Thank you, Sajjaad👍

Even if you’re not a software engineer, a lot of what was said here is applicable to any position. Such as mentorship, coffee chats, being charismatic, “shifting your work to being a business impact” phew 😮‍💨 that was a bar 😂 this was very insightful!
