YO THIS GUY IT IS THE MOST INSPIRING STORY THAT I HAVE HEARD SO FAR THANKS FOR SHARING

Just subscribed. Very well done! Thanks.

Great content! Thanks, Clément!

Thank Clement . I really liked your tips & advice. Keep Doing ..

Thanks for the useful advice! I appreciate it a lot

I'm eagerly waiting for the data structure section of Algoexpert.

Genuinely helpful and I'm greatful

Very good points! Thanks for the help!

Omg so much info! Thank you 😊

you really make quality videos sir.. kudos to you..

This is really useful, thanks for sharing.

eye-opening, thanks a lot Clem!

Hey Clement, what a small world. I am Gavin and we met at EDGE this summer and you just popped up in my KZfaq feed :) glad to see you doing well man.

The fact that you don't have to disclose your current salary was new to me. Thank you so much for providing this tip and the other valuable tips.

Thanks so much for this! Such an impact a video like this has; you've probably helped a ton a people get more for their work. (not even including algo expert, which is even more impactful)

this was so helpful! thank you!

If people are wondering about the two other lower levels - L1 for lasso and L2 for ridge ;) though they are more penalizing!!

Very informative video, thankyou for sharing the information

Hi Clement, Thanks for the informative video. Just a question. You said, "I shared my performance ratings (when working at Google) with them so that they can use as data points." How did you do that? Did you send them a screenshot? Or your manager sent them an email? Or did he write a paper recommendation with a letter from Google? Or did he write a LinkedIn recommendation?

You are an inspiration to me clement...

Good for you dude :) 350k? dude enjoy it as much as you can, congrats

Man thanks, you are one cool algo dude!!! Don't mean to be cheesy but you get the drift...Thanks!

We need more people like you

Very useful tips! I'd be keen to hear your thoughts about comparing total comp between startup and big tech (aka actual stocks vs stock options).

Facebook hires smartest and brightest no wonder they quit after short time to open up their own businesses

Thank you man!

Awesome content!!

I have learnt a lot about salary negotiation from this video.... ❤️

Thank you fo sharing, this is very helpful.

This is great!

very helpful. thanks a lot!

Fain! Cu siguranta responsabilitatea e pe masura!

I really appreciate this video .

What an effortless genius

After all this years of doing some competitive programming in a schoolish environment i got opened to all this world just now, at 18 years and 2 days, while I’m in quarantine for being positive. If only all of this showed up to me earlier... this is the most beautiful birthday of my life

Good job! I think you really motivate young people like me. I live in România and I am really afraid where I will find a job. I'm currently second year at computer science and I'm really stressed about the salary and the workspace. Hope I will get a nice offer:D

Damn, the CEO at my company makes that much.

Very helpful information, thanks.

Thanks a lot Clement

The leverage tips are good, but wouldn’t it also just work to reply to an offer that is too low with the reality of the situation. “I like the opportunity. The team is great. It seems like we have a mutually beneficial scenario at this point. I’ve reviewed the offer and it is a great starting point. I think we will have a deal if the offer is slightly altered to xyz. How soon could we finalize the package? Thanks again. Looking forward to wrapping up the financials so we can begin the important work at blah-blah-blah company!” At the end of the day it’s really up to you if the package works. If it doesn’t you just provide the feedback and if they don’t value you enough to accommodate your needs then you just thank them and politely decline. I think the key is willingness to walk away.

*Clement talking about his company - AlgoExpert* KZfaq: Let’s advertise him an AlgoExpert

12:30 that was really an eye opener, i never knew that

thnx man, nice one...

I would really like a video about design documents

I’m happy to see this new video right away. Always learning something new with your vids. Is it me or I really like hearing plugs from AlgoExpert. Just a question, when is the best time to ask for a salary raise reagrdless the level you ate?

How do I get an algoexpert ad on every video I watch EXCEPT YOURS lmao

for multiple competing offers scenario, it's can kind of hard to line them up in sequence. A lot of time, they want you to make a decision within one or two days after initial offer. And not all the company interview and offer at the same time. So you sort of have to schedule the interviews around to force the offers to all line up within one or two day of each other.

Hi Clement, thanks for posting this wonderful video! It was really informative. I just have a question: If I am having a competing offer in hand and I am negotiating based on that with a company, is it an obligation to also share the offer letter with the company as evidence? Is it legally allowed? I am talking about the Tech market in US and Canada.

Great video! What do you guys think salaries for professionals in the tech industry and particularly in FAANG going to look like in the next few decades? Thanks for your input.

Keep going clement....dont worry reading negative comments.

Hey Clement I am pretty basic at solving algorithm and ds problems, with knowledge of the basic structures like linked lists, stacks, queues and somewhat binary trees. I also haven't solved many questions either, (say 5-6 of each of them). Should I prep myself up for AlgoExpert and then join, or is it like beginner-friendly?

Thank you for sharing. Very helpful.

The part about not telling how much your currently making- I had thought that was kind of required, or knowledge they would be able to easily obtain. What about in the instances where the online job application has a required field for compensation?

knowledge, Leverage, they even rhyme. Me: ehh, i'll give it to you.

Thank you.

0:00 Introduction 1:14 What compensation I negotiated 1:53 Tip #1: Do well on the coding interviews 3:35 After the interview: 4:09 Knowledge (Knowing what is the best realistic offer) 11:15 Leverage (Getting the best realistic offer)

I'm not surprised. Anyone able to create a new business must have exceptional programming, business and negotiating skills. Most aren't this talented.

Thanks for the great video. Can we share these confidential information in youtube or any public platform?

Clément, what is the best way to project leverage if you don't have any? If you're not currently working, have no other offers, and want to work there, do you have any leverage or should you just say yes?

Can you ask the recruiter to give a range for base salary to make sure you're not wasting too much time interviewing with them or just aim for the top of what you see at Levels for that range?

This PhaseBook company sounds awesome

great help to me

Hi Clement, do you ever see mechanical engineers transition into software engineering roles in fang companies?

Damn...I was rejected by FB several times, so I had to take over my Dad's business. My SDE dream is broken.

"There you have it- ..haha.. I used LOADS of underhanded deception in my videos here."

Hey Clement, thanks video, very useful.!!! Do you know the name of the internal google site where employees share salaries?

@ Clément Mihailescu, am just like you I never subscribed to anyone channel.... But your sincerity and clear massage of hope on new commas like me in coding. You got subscriber..

Helpful

Am I the only one who is blown away by the sign-on bonus?

You are smart.

very very very fucking very fucking informative, thank you thank you thank you

I met some startups which say that they don't have any levels as such, but the work they do is pretty interesting. What would you suggest in this case? Just pick an arbitrary number that you'd be feeling great and start negotiating on top of it?

Every video is the same obsession over a Facebook or Google job.

I've got a question for you Clement....irrelevant with respect to the video content itself. I am an android developer and I've already been involved in all the phases of developing an application (design, develop, test, deploy and maintain) and I'd like to know what is the difference (if any) between a Software engineer and a Software Developer ?? In which of the above do I actually fall ? I'm very much interested in acquiring skills for the former, so tell me what do I need to do ? Precisely, what do I need to learn ?

Not a lawyer, but iiuc, you cannot be forced to divulge your current/previous pay to potential new employer in California. You can if you want. You can also say, I will reject any offer < X, and make it clear that X + epsilon does not guarantee that you will accept. levels.fyi et al are good for deciding what X to name. Or you can base X on your current pay.

How much is difference in compensation for Menlo Park, as compared to London?

The last hint is the best one. Never tell how much you earned before, I made that mistake once and regretted it. I think in some US states it might be not legal to ask this (can anyone confirm?). Or they will offer you only a few percent more (just to make it look good for you, make you think that you advanced somehow) or somewhere about the same level telling that your cost of living will be much less if you move to our region, or similar crap. While your new coworkers might get 50+ percent more for the same amount of work.

This is not directly related to this video but: I really enjoy algorithmic programming. Competing is fun but I would like a job where I’m applying algorithms and solving problems in that way. I understand all programming is technically applying some sort of algorithms but for example is maybe working on operating systems/computer systems going to have more work of this nature as opposed to web development. Basically what I’m asking is in what direction what you point a competitive programmer.

Man somebody can achieve that amount..i am started like coding now

Please do a video on front end developer salary. And what to learn for to be a good front end developer. And thanks clement for the video

ohhh my goodness, man this amount is beyond surreal

Those cities you are looking at the high end of IT salaries which also include the extremely high cost of living. If you don't live in those areas, the chance of you getting salaries at that level is not very realistic.

Amazing content! May I ask do someone know how I can calculate my current performance and how I can share this into an interview with examples?

Thank you Boss 👏

congrats

Hey Clement, Is a remote developer also entitled to this perks, I'd be glad if you can make a video comparing remote engineers at bigger tech to on-site engineers(In term of Perks)

If recruiters ask for your current comp, just give them a super high number. That way they will be compelled to go above that. Galaxy brain.

Is facebook ok with you disclosing this ? Is there a conflict of interest having your own company and also working at fb?

3:47 there's an obvious cut before the card trick lol I wonder how many takes it took

Once a google interviewer asked me if I have questions, so I asked him if he knows a very well know front-end framework almost all companies are using. He has no idea what that is, then I kinda think is Google really that good. I mean, they need to know the world outside Google.

@clement what system design question did facebook ask you.

The 8 questions which were recently added on algoexpert.io were amazing. Keep adding more...😁✌️

You should also make a video on appraisals interviews

since your leverage was staying at Google, what did you mention as your motivation to leave Google and join Facebook? I think that's the trickiest part of the interviews actually.

people dont consider sign on into TC. that's why people thought your offer was good for your level. you inflated it via sign on bonus
