If this dude getting rejected, I have no chance lol.

That's great you went your own way - too many people try to get into FAANG and realize that they're just another big company. I've interviewed some who were leaving because they were so bored working there.

[juliocesartorrescama]

Everyone has its own aspirations after google rejects u ;(

[Edude]

I work for FANG and I hate it. Not because it’s boring or because the benefits suck (the pay and benefits are phenomenal). I hate it because it’s stressful as shit. I work 60 hrs a week and constantly feel like I’m barely above water. Every coworker around me seems to know way more than me and is way more productive than me, even if they start around the same time. It has been a nightmare so far. On the upside, my coworkers and managers are really nice and supportive. I’m still stressed as shit all the time, though.

I was waiting for the “maybe I got rejected…” lmao. Me too man

You should create more content about your startup journey. I don’t feel like many people document the process and the things they learn along the way

[RashaunHouse]

Very cool just to know how your career has started, nothing but more growth from here

[rjk]

I've been watching your videos and good for you, you're good at what you do! Thanks for sharing your path

[danny.golcman]

Its cool that you went to UTD for CS, I am also going to UTD soon for computer science!

[coppersundew]

Hi! I also go to utd for computer science. I’d honestly love to do youtube/my own side projects for a living, and it’s super inspiring to see that it’s something that’s possible:]

[Melch]

Props! Nice to see a fellow comet succeed.

[beniamin]

Follow your dreams. It’s crazy how little people actually get to live the life they want to. It’s a gift, treasure it. I hope that can be me too one day. 🤞

I'll be completing my CS degree in a year. I'm worried that I don't know enough of anything, and I really want to get a good internship/job. I'm still exploring whether software engineering or data science is a good fit for me. I enjoy debugging and building stuff, and I also love working with data. I like to study too deep into my interests, and sometimes I feel like I'm losing the big picture, and then I jump to my other interests, and it causes that feeling of inadequacy in anything I try to learn. Any wisdom from any of you guys would be appreciated. I'm from Kenya, and my uni isn't state of the art in CS, but I worry enough and try to learn the important CS topics through MOOCS from MIT and the like.

[swaeyl]

Good for you. I am at the start of my career and hope my path will be similar to yours, but somehow I doubt it :)

[rudygon]

Omg Ben I live like 10 minutes away from UTD, had no idea you went there

[oQuAdShto]

I’m getting my Bachelor’s in CS, about to get my Associate. Is minoring in Mathematics a good idea or should I focus strictly on CS the whole way to Bachelor’s?

[deepeshbhatt]

Keep doing what you love! Lots of love.

[ryandury]

If only everyone had a mom that could fund their first startup

[Trevorious]

After getting a Network Administration diploma, I now want to branch out and specialize in the Cyber Security field.
You gotta follow your own path!

[fearclan]

and how you sustain your lifestyle with that? Maybe cuz i am from a really poor EU country and thats why i cant imagine how the money flows in, but those side bussiness generates enough money instead of consulting/freelancing in X amount of time? Cuz i saw in US there are fokin great money in the freelancing/consulting or its like more on that side as a work life balance? Anyways keep doing great yutbob vids🤙
