Good advice!

u believe that? u cant work remotely from outside US

Where i live the cost of living is higher, taxes are higher and VAT is 25% and average salary for software engineers are $65k

good point, but since covid, a lot of company allow remote work and you can be based anywhere you want in the US while keeping the same salary. A lot of people at my company moved out of NYC to small cities, still have the same high salary, so they are saving a ton

I mean you have the potential to make high salaries there, there are companies in London paying above £70k and more. Not everyone gets that ofc, but there are jobs that pay high salaries for devs. Same thing in NY, not everyone gets paid $120k, but the point is that it's doable, there many developers making a high slary, so there is a path to achieve it. For many places of the world, there are literally no software jobs that pay in that range, so it's nearly impossible to achieve it there unless you move or find a remote job that doesn't pay based on local market.

WaAlaykum Assalam bro! I am preparing a video on this right now! It will be focused on jobs, but it's same exact strategy for internships

@@TheLastCodebender amazing thank you so much

Are you from Iran?

why@@henrik908

That's the way to go imo, applying the normal way like everyone else is too hard, you will be competing with everyone else so it's very hard to stand out. Those who will standout either have crazy experience or connections or a combination of both. So if you don't have that, you need to target companies strategically so have more changes. Startups who recently raised money are more accessible

All the best in your search man!✊ Hope it goes well!

@@TheLastCodebender thanks man! Hopefully with this strategy I can finally end my job hunt, which is 2 years and counting now lol

How do you guys study in India? Why dont you try to find some remote work ?

@@reuven2010 I completed my bachelor's about half year. I have tried but I get the same response from everyone you need at least 3 years of experience.My current job is remote but India based

huh

for real

Do you think working at faang was necessary to have been able to work on a startup?

@@javier.alvarez764 it helps in the cv for sure. but not in skills at all.

@@javier.alvarez764 Absolutely not, it helps but there is other factors which are more important.

I see your point. But you don't need to rent tha expensive, when I lived there I only paid $700 for rent, I was able to get it so cheap by having roommate and just renting a room in a house (its a bit intense tho I know haha,I was in my monk mode). If you want to live by yourself and just rent a 1bedroom apartment, it will cost you around 2k if you are responsible. This will still allow you to save a lot. About Texas, yeah good point, you need to calculate the total amojnt of money you save at the end of the year. Thats what matters. I would just add another point to consider too: salary growth. In big cities, your salary will grow as the faster too. A 10% raise on a 120k salary is $12k, but 10$ of 70k is $7k. The higher you go, the more it starts to make a difference and that will impact how much you can save too

ay great to hear that! from BD as well

WaAlaykum Assalam brother! All the best! Looking forward to getting that email back!✊

Don't do bootcsmp, do udemy course and apply.

@@arezxx5244 udemy course for development?

🤣

WaAlaykum Assalam brother! How is the sitation in London? I have heard some companies pay decent there, check if there is an opportunity to work remotely for them if you dont want to move to London, some companies might still pay the same salary. But yeah overall, outside of the US, its tough to get a high salary in most countries, there aren't many spots available. About the language to start with, I recommend JavaScript if you want to be come a full stack software engineer (build web apps), that's very popular right now, especially with AI. If you need a roadmap to get started, I have created this one: www.lastcodebender.com You will get it for free when you sign up. Hope this helps!

Those who call themselves software engineers don't know more, usually they know nothing and are suffering from dunning Kruger, they think too highly of themselves. Once anyone calls themselves a software engineer, I call BS. You shouldn't be calling yourself an engineer without an engineering degree.

wrong

@@kevinb1594 Im literally studying that in uni lmao, tell the phd profs that

@@kevinb1594 Or go read books on engineering

ikr???

🤣 i love his vids, wanted to try that animation style for a long time, I want to adapt it to the Last Codebender narrative and test a few things to figure out a new style
