Leaving a stable job at Microsoft to pursue your own dream takes courage, congratulations on reaching 100k and the new journey ahead.

Dude is literally motivating me to get my sh*t together and fight for my dreams

I could never be brave enough to leave a $250,000 job

Been following you since your Tech Inturn podcast haha. Congratulations, you deserve all the success man!

Love your straightforwardness in the manner you show us the mix-ups as well as the triumphs. Your posts are genuinely uplifting, showing us all the significance of profit investing...my prompt for students is to assemble here and get an enduring answer for their effective financial planning nightmares...no information is a waste.

Congrats Jason, great vid! I’m sure you’ll kill it with the new startup 💯 🔥

your best vid yet Jason!!! congrats and can't wait to see what you build in YC you deserve it!!!

you're channel has grown that much that quickly for multiple reasons. 1. you tell very interesting stories and give good advice 2. you're editing is fire, I laughed multiple times at the memes you make about such a serious time in your life and 3. the structure to your videos is so well put together it's like you've been doing this for 15 years now

Huge congrats dude! What an amazing accomplishment and to do it with your friend! Rooting for you guys!

Congratulations Jason! So proud of you✨️✨️It was a great journey being one of your initial subscribers✨️✨️Always rooting for you.Hope you sore to greater heights!

Hopefully that means you have more time to make more great YT videos! This video is a must-watch for anyone feeling stuck in their current career. Jason's story is a great reminder that sometimes taking a step back can lead to big leaps forward. Congrats on the well deserved success. Looking forward to seeing what you do at YC and all the cool people you meet along the way.

The way you present the content is amazing, big help and informative 🙌

Didn't think you could get any more inspiring; what a great story man! Congrats, I'm excited for future updates!

The line you added " NOTHING I'VE EVER BUILT AS A SIDE PROJECT HAS EVER BEEN USED BY ANYBODY" is really for everyone, and it shows the path.

Hey Jason! Congratulations on achieving your green card and getting funding for your start-up! 6 months ago, I was clueless about where to start on my software engineering journey - and then I stumbled upon your video "How I would learn to code (if I could start over)" and I was hooked! Your videos were full of amazing stories and advices, and your bad jokes would make me laugh no matter how many times I watched. I'm in awe of how you've been able to do it all almost completely on your own. You have set a new bar for yourself and we are all here to watch and help you grow even more. You are an inspiration, keep it up! (BTW the growth in the quality of your videos has been phenomenal)

Congratulations man! Been following you for a little while now, and it's really cool to see how far you've come. Keep up the great work!!

Your bravery to follow your dream is inspiring! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Can't wait to see what the future holds for your startup 🚀❤

Your story is honestly so inspiring!

It's crazy what happened to your life within this short timeframe! Happy for you, good luck and keep making these awesome videos, I really enjoy them!

I first watched the how to get into waterloo when it had like 30 views. Looking back, we both have made lots of progress. I'm in Loo now and you are doing what your heart's been telling you to, and that's awesome! I truly wish you all the best in your new journey, Jason!

Congrats! Super inspiring story, you guys will do great! The video quality and editing is on another level as well!

Bro this is awesome, this feels like my life in a way. Got back in school, Got a lot of opportunities going for me, Looking to get a new job, And meeting great people. This is awesome

Man you HAVE to make this into a series! GOLDEN content!

I feel like also the quality of your Videos has just improved very much. In summary: - great vid - awesome how quickly u can pass Info at least I feel like it - barely can imagine someone I only know over some Yt vids I could be so happy for achieving sth like this :D Best of luck and an awesome 2023 to you!

The editing and story telling of this video is amazing

Love the idea Jason! Would love to make sure that you are connecting it with a CRM or at least making sure that those APIs are built to handle doing that. I can see use cases but I know the companies I work with would want to make sure they were getting the data on their customers.

Nice job!! Good luck bro! Is hard to get into YC! But you made it! Good luck!

this is awesome.. Thanks for sharing your experience in YC

This is so wholesome. Watching the part where you missed the email, rescheduled, entered the wrong meeting link, rescheduled again was an emotional rollercoaster, bet it must have been the same for you guys too 😂 Glad it all turned out well. Best of luck to you guys!

Why did the guy quit his job at Microsoft and leave behind $250,000? Because, like any sane person, he was stuck in a rut and wanted to take risks. He finally got his green card and decided to leave Microsoft to pursue his dream of starting a startup. But he realized that his safety net of a steady salary was holding him back and making him complacent. So he took the leap and quit his job, even though he would be making "zero" at first. I am trying to hop on the same boat honestly.

Congratulations and goodluck with everything!

Congratulations Jason. Honestly thought you were quitting Microsoft for KZfaq but glad to see things worked out well for you. Hope I can get as good as you one day!

Awesome hearing your story Jason. Excited to see where you go next on your journey. But if anything is for certain, it's that you're going to crush it!

I got thrills watching this, I am so happy for you Jason! Congrats on your new adventure 🎉

Congratulations Man Really Happy For You !!! :) Your Vids are Fun as well as Serious at one time . I feel connected to your vids . BTW Congrats for 120k subs :)

Super happy for you, Jason!

It all so relatable what you said abt Microsoft and working there, I rly can imagine myself being in the same situation in a few years!

Putting the risk back on his shoulders is the boldest thing a man could do. Cheers and I hope to chase on your footsteps in the next few years!

Hooow good!! Cant wait to see your journey! LFG

Good on you for taking the risk and following your dreams. I 110% can not relate and would literally murder for that salary. Looking forward to seeing your journey now.

Awesome video, your storytelling ability is amazing!

I love your content, They are the Best and most entertaining programing videos on youtube!

I just wanted to comment congratulations on taking the plunge and choosing to quit your job. I can’t imagine how scary that leap really was but you are investing in yourself and your roommate and the dreams y’all have and that is simply incredible. I can only say I wish you all the luck I can. I joined this channel (and the discord) to try and learn some stuff and from what I’ve seen: I’m excited to see what’s next.

I really love all of your videos and how you share the things you have learned with the world for free!! 😄

With all the chaos that’s happened the past few years, 2023 looks like it’s going in a great direction for you!! Be humble and stay hungry for every opportunity!! I believe you will succeed!!

cheers and best of luck to you for your future endeavours

This is amazing. Congratulations! May I ask if you had no product at all until the interview? or did you start building the prototype after submitting the application and were able to show a working demo during the interview?

so this is like alternate universe if Tom Holland become software engineer

This was a very bold move, but very courageous at same time. Wish you luck in all your future endeavors Jason

Congrats bro.... You're my inspiration 💓💯

I don't know anything about coding and to be fair knowing what the journey will be like from you. Its wiser than wasting time in skills I will get stuck in a wormhole in

Wow! Your story gave me Goosebumps!!! It's early morning in India, and I'm thanking myself for deciding to open KZfaq right after waking up lol😂

Nifty video. Could not see the link to big brain newsletter, is it still on?

currently studying software engineering and this guy has just the kind of story that Inspires me.

Hey Jason, for months I have been trying to join your discord channel but I'm not able to. Everytime i click on the link it says the link is expired or incorrect

Well all the best and hats off to your daring moves

1:19 and that's what the cool kids use as a mic.
