They leave the gold rush to sell shovels

I agree on many points in the video. Ironically both of these people built a company that is basically feeding of FAANG 🙂. If everybody would run their own company, there would be no FAANG and in turn there would be no customers for AlgoExpert and Taro :shrug

Agree with the learning potential not being as great. I think everyone should see both sides: work at a high growth startup AND FAANG. Usually I see folks that start their career at one, end up transitioning to the other. Then they spend a lot of time there building their career.

I disagree with the title entirely. The title should be "why engineers with entrepreneurial mindset start new businesses". There are plenty of startups founded by people who never worked for the big corp tech.

I recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos. The ones I find most interesting are the ones where you get technical. For someone in my position (4 YOE) I learn a lot and it gives me things to think about as I advance in my career.

I meet some awesome people and got to work on some cool projects having worked at two FAANG companies. But I sacrificed my health due to the work requirements in order to do so. I found much happiness and peace after I left. Not to shame anyone that is still in it but look after yourselves is the lesson I learned when I got laid off

@displog 11 ай бұрын

You can have crazy impact (and crazy income) in FANG when you get to staff+. It's ridiculous just how many millions of $ the company puts in implementing your designs at that point. Both Rahul and Clement left Big Tech after just 3-4 years, which is just enough to escape the early-career engineer classification. I'll say this: the best engineers grow their influencing and project/service/risk management skills so they can meaningfully effect positive change. The ones who leave FAANG early don't want to grow what it takes to get out of their comfort zones.

@rejectionistmanifesto8836 2 ай бұрын

I would the ones who are scared about the technical abilities or their ability to successfully execute on their own ideas stay comfortably in FAANG. Not a knock but if you are well fed and happy at staying at that level for the foreseeable future, fine. But the real go getter should only use FAANG as a stepping stone to make their mark in the startup field.

Cool video. One follow on thought - there isn't really anything that would have stopped you from talking to the sales teams at Facebook if you really wanted to right? It could have been a mutually beneficial Convo to have if you went out of your way to chat with them and find out pain points that you could help address

@RahulPandeyrkp 11 ай бұрын

That's true, I definitely could have been more proactive in reaching out to non-engineers. But it does become hard since our organizations were so far apart, and I was busy enough with my own projects and deadlines.

@skyhappy 11 ай бұрын

@@RahulPandeyrkp If you did want to talk to the sales team, would it make more sense to take on a project that would involve talking to them? And if so, would that mean the project is ambiguous so only senior+ people would have access to do such projects?

@zoellazayce6796 11 ай бұрын

Yikes, I'm kind of disappointed that you brought in Clement. He's been embroiled in youtube drama with Joma and Tech Lead> Also he's only been working as a SWE for 2 years, and his advice videos seems very click baity and not actually useful. I figured you knew more experienced people, instead of this tech-influencer who's selling shovels to a tech goldmind. His business isn't that great, I thought you'd knew more people with successful or experienced startups.

Great video. Had the same thought today morning. One more thing I like to add is delayed reward. I can work hard today but I only gain during reviews.

@skyhappy 11 ай бұрын

Reviewing is has such a high return on time spent. A few mins of review can refresh your memory on 2 hours of content. One person in a youtube comment said he did 500 leetcode problems and that if you don't review, you might as well not even do leetcode. I agree.

@rubberducky5990 11 ай бұрын

they leave faang so that they can sell their own courses on how to crack faang. it is a pyramid scheme. the other way to make money as faang is to become Instagram star selling life in a day story. we have more faang leetcoders than real software engineers. talking about impact is bs. they can make open source contribution. how is running a KZfaq channel better than writing a new emulator. this is hustle non sense fooling new grads. Clement made money during sde gold rush selling shovels from non tech to Google sde in 6 months. while rahul has real credentials unlike Clement, he is late to the party. senior engineers are not going to fall for a herd mentality product.

@vulpixelful 11 ай бұрын

This is so true 😂 Content creators are self-selecting for people who have a hard time, uh, "playing well with others", to an extent. But you need those kind is skills to contribute meaningfully to open source. Eventually you can't own your schedule if your project becomes the bedrock of multimillion dollar companies. The project would be forked and your original one abandoned if you failed to keep up the maintenance or let security vulnerabilities linger. We have enough interview prep courses. We need engineers to help work on problems like green energy. If they are independently wealthy from working in Big Tech and investing, all the better.

@@markusingvarsson2146 they are creating a generation of bad engineers. what will Clement with less than two years of experience tell about software engineering? that there is real money in running a scam? as long as you crack faang, you can start your own scam after a year? what is the value that they are generating? where is software engineering in the equation? is it even computer science? these are also the areas Clement isn't even aware of. it is sad to see Rahul calling these kind of people in the channel.

0:17 "Almost everyone who enters BigTech within few years end up leaving" This video seems to be build on a false premise. Can I see the source of that data? Leaving where, to other BigTech, is it actually leaving? I'm in BigTech myself and I can say it is filled with coasters / TC chasers and you made it seems like BigTech is filled with founders and entrepreneurs. Some people do retire after they make few mils but it is not like they all eager to build their own companies.
