>>8595801
What's your favorite kind of sandwich?

>>8595801
How did you do it? Any tips?

>>8595801
What was your startup?
Are you a drop out?
What are you doing right now to make that much?

>>8595832
Not startup.
No.
Software developer at big tech company.

Phone ran out of battery for a sec and I had to plug it in, so my ID might be different

>>8595827
Go into CS and actually put effort into your shit and FUCKING APPLY FOR INTERNSHIPS AT BIG TECH COMPANIES.

>>8595801
LOL fucking pleb you actually have to EARN your money. Who here /richparents/?

>>8595824
Grats, I'm jealous.
>>8595826
There's a chain near where I live that has these amazing Dutch crunch sandwiches, usually that.

Breakfast sandwiches can be pretty good too.

>>8595801
>making less than 300k starting

Some people have some weird definitions of making it

>>8595879

School rank? GPA?

>>8595914
Shit tier school, somewhere between 50-100 in the national ranking. No name recognition.

GPA when I applied for an internship was 3.5, 3.7 when I accepted the full time offer, 3.0 when I graduated.

>>8595801
Your gonna burn through all of it. Lose your income and be a waste like most of these people in here.

>>8595895
>There's a chain near where I live
A block chain?

>>8595860
How much of your salary goes to outrageous cost-of-living in whatever tech city you live in?

>>8595879
Makin 6 figures at age 28, feels good man. Put bonus into crypto, still up %150 from initial investment. Shit gains compared to some, but idgaf when my profession takes care of everything anyways.

>>8595966
As a percent of after tax monthly income? 24% for rent, food I mostly get for free at work.

A significant chunk of income is from a yearly bonus + stock grant, if you added that in and divided it by 12, it'd be around 16%

>>8595945
Nah, I autoinvest most of my income after tax and 401k.

>>8595801
u have a rough day today?

>>8596057
Nah I just like dickwaving sometimes.

>>8595883
>tfw rich parents
>tfw hard to give a fuck about anything
>tfw want to leverage parent's wealth to do something with my life that couldn't be done without the head start provided by the wealth, but also want to buy a ranch somewhere and just fuck off from it all

>>8596059
we're all anon.. u can be honest with me

>>8596081
I'm a little frustrated with my current role at my company, not enough dev work, but I'm talking with someone about transferring to a really exciting team. That's about it.

>>8596075
My parents are pretty well off too, but you'll get a lot more satisfaction from actually accomplishing shit.

>>8595824
Ya but he's 21. You're past your prime.

facebook or google?

>>8596133
One of them. You?

>>8596145
>google
whats up with this oracle case that just got brought back up? something to the tune of a billion dollars?

>>8595801
Whats it like being a larping faggot?

>>8596180
It's a big company man. Chances are most people internally know as much as you do. There's a delay newsletter but it's all dressed in corpspeak.

I draw porn and make enough to live comfortably.

There isn't a job that exists that could make me more fulfilled.

>>8596207
post it? or will they lynch you?

>>8596208
Tell me more about drawing porn. Honestly considering it.

OP what kind of friends do rich kids have?

>>8596028
How much is rent in dollars per month? I don't know your tax situation nor how good your accountant is.

If it's more than $2k/month, I am no longer impressed.

>>8596193
I wouldn't know.
>>8596207
Daily*

>>8596104
>you'll get a lot more satisfaction from actually accomplishing shit

I mean I work as a chemical engineer. Shit's interesting and all that, but it's hard to be motivated to work for a salary I don't need to create wealth for someone else. I guess I need some sense of purpose bullshit.

>>8596275
Kek prove it nigger

>>8596237
It's literally just a summary of shit that happened that day or shit the company did that is positive PR. Not really interesting.

>>8596270
Rent is $1.4k, roughly.
Need to figure taxes out, but it's hard to say it simply since a lot of my income is from equity grants and bonuses and they're taxed differently.

>>8596288
yeah, i mean its just a hat
post the newsletter and ill buy it

>>8596329
but it proves that you work there

>>8596355
It wouldn't prove shit, I could make it up out of the air. Want more of the corporate branded shit they give you? I have tons of backpacks and hoodies and other bullshit

>>8596379
>Want more of the corporate branded shit they give you
no
i have plenty of that. all youd have to do is post a pic of it and well buy it.

till then, your full of it

>>8596379
Prove it larping faggot

>>8595801
>>8595860
>a fucking wagecuck thinking hes superior than anyone
o i am laffin

>>8596329
$1.4k/month is not terrible for rent, especially if you're in CA or NY or MA or something. I live in midwest flyover country, so my house only cost me $80k to buy.

>>8596477
he doesnt even work at google. embarrassing desu. i bet his dad works there and OP is just some 12yo brat LARPing

>>8596487
Yeah, I'm from flyover country.
TFW could probably move back and buy my own house with cash within a year.

>>8596536

>>8596536
youre just some little kid this is fucking bullshit. and even if you work at google, youre clearly just some fucking child. how the fuck are you so up on yourself to post this fucking garbage thread. theres people here who make and lose more than this shit in a day.

blows my mind desu incredibly narcissistic famalam you should be ashamed

>>8596586
>>8596627
t. Poorfag

Why are you so upset?

>>8596713
just find it pathetic that you would go online just to pretend to work at google. what kind of a little faggot are you?

>>8595801
How long were you coding for before you got the job? What languages did you study? Do you really love it or were you forced?

I've seen some programs on Udemy and I have given it a shot. I honestly don't have an affinity for it, just figure I should really buckle down and try to get a career going where I can learn online and not have to throw so much more money at a degree.

Do I have a shot or is it so saturated with kids fresh out of college with CS degrees that I am fucked. Are we all fucked?

>>8596752
You seem pretty upset.
I work at Google. I'm not going to post a confidential email I could easily mock up by editing HTML. It wouldn't really prove anything.

>>8596768
Most people I work with aren't new grads. Several don't even have a degree.

Protip: The languages you know don't really matter after the first few. The difficulty of learning a new language is pretty much 1/(n+1) where n is the number of languages you know.

You can make it, just learn to code. Do solid open source work, go to local dev meetups, etc.

>>8596786
uh huh sure
whats so confidential about it? you just said it was corpspeak PR bullshit. all this does is prove that youre some LARPing little bitch

>>8596806
For sure man thanks. Since you are good at it, have you looked into building dApps on Ethereum? Is it really a new viable market or is it just a meme, kind of like how I remember reading articles of web apps being the new thing, but no one really cared.

any advice for someone stuck in enterprise software development?

>>8596829
DESU I think dapps are really interesting, but ethereum is extremely limited since all nodes need to run the code. The EVM dev guide even says it's only really good for cryptographic and transactional operations. I thought about cloning 4chan on it with a small cost to post, but it can't really host images ATM.

>>8596885
Not sure, since I went from college straight to working.

I guess apply and try your luck?

>>8596329
I started as a software engineer too and I work in Silicon Valley (live in Belmont currently). You make more than I did starting, but thats because my companies stock was shitty. Now I'm 28 and I make what you do in just my salary portion.

Let me give you some advice: when you first get your job you will think you are a big dicked badass because you are making 2-10x what some of your friends are making.. Then the reality of bay area living settles in and you will want even more money. I remember thinking at 100K/year base salary I could afford a home here in a couple years, but you love 1/3 to taxes, a bunch to rent, etc. The home prices around me are also rising about as fast as I can save lol.

Still, congrats anon, and send me your resume because we are hiring for my team

>>8596822
Because they've taken any sort of leak pretty seriously after people started getting Dox'd during the damore shitshow.

>>8597007
Oh I already feel that way, the CoL here is insane. I don't spend much of what I make outside of rent, mostly invest it. Not necessarily looking to live here long term or buy property. I already realize what I'm making right now isn't that insane for the area. For the rest of the country it's pretty insane though.

>>8597007
What company, or sector at least?

>>8597114
AdTech. We are a DSP/DMP. Considering Google (Or Alphabet really) has at least 1 company in pretty much all corners of AdTech, we are both a partner and a competitor of yours. My team is platform - distributed systems. Also if you believe blockchain in its current incarnation has any potential then please do not send me your resume afterall.

>>8597330
Damn that's pretty close to what I work on actually.

Whats the pay like?

>>8597330
So is muh blockchain all a meme? Have we been fucking scammed this whole time? B-but Don Tapscott said it's the future

>>8595801
I could live with $50k more than 15 years, please donate me

>>8595879

23yo making 100k per year here. I'm an engineer at a fortune 10 company.

Fun facts

My GPA was 3.05 and It took me 5 and 1/2 years to graduate.

>>8597551
Yes. We joke about it at work all the time. Blockchain has much worse asymptotic performance compared to existing technologies. We handle 4M+ transactions per second through our Kafka/Spark ETL pipeline. Blockchains are also very expensive in both network cost and storage cost to operate. Blockchains have O(n) network cost per transaction (n= number of nodes in network) and have super-linear storage costs with respect to transaction volume (because transactions are immutable, storage costs monotonically increase over time, not just with respect to transaction volume).

Basically, the tech is shit for many reasons. That hasn't stopped some of us from investing in the normie hype, we just didn't fall for the HODL meme. We know to take our gains when we can. One of my coworkers made a couple hundred K off of Etherium.

>>8597911
Stfu it’s not about the tech.its also about decentralisation. There are countries like Venezuela who benefit from crypto because their govt is corrupted as fuck. So gtfo with that bullshit if you’re going to invest in crypto and say it’s shit privileged prick

>>8598018
I'm with you anon, dude sounds like an ignorant cockbag

>>8598018
Do you even know why decentralization is a good idea? Our kafka/spark based pipeline is already decentralized

>>8598018
Lol... Denial at its finest. "But muh Venezuela"...

>>8597442
I'm a dev involved in DSP as well. Thriving sector at many levels/media/platforms

>>8595879
How important is math for a CS degree and actual real work? Is it doable if one struggles in math?

>>8597707
Similar story here, but I went into data analytics and not CS. 3.4 GPA 6 years to graduate.

>>8598152
It really depends what you do. You will need to take some somewhat intensive math courses for a CS degree, but you'll be fine as long as you have a triple digit IQ and decent work ethic.

>>8597330
Depending on the type of media you deal with, we may have worked together too.

>>8596145
Any advice for an incoming senior (4th year uni)? Also, did you which uni did you go to? Waterloo? lmao. How many leetcode questions/ CTCI did you do and what was your GPA?
>In b4 one at a time.

tfw turned 19 a couple of months ago
tfw poor single mom, pay for everything myself
tfw getting a useless associate of the arts degree from community college, can't afford to go on from there
tfw don't know shit about shit, or my asshole from my dick

all this computer stuff seems real nice and all but I'd hate to be surrounded by pajeets and turbonormies for the rest of my life
I guess I'm doomed to live and die a poorfag

>>8598269

I was gonna give you legit advice for how to easily reach a 75k+ job.

then I read this

>all this computer stuff seems real nice and all but I'd hate to be surrounded by pajeets and turbonormies for the rest of my life

>I guess I'm doomed to live and die a poorfag

Fuck it stay poor you racist fuck

>>8598285
fucking triggered

your anger is worth more than any worthless advice you were going to provide

>>8598285
yeah ok pajeet you smelly fuck, whatever you say

>>8597330
How could I get in contact with you? Set up a cock.li then wait for me to send an email with proof I actually work here?

>>8598216
No clue. Try to apply to a bunch of jobs. Don't want to say what school in particular, but it's in the Midwest and you probably haven't heard of it. Not well known. I read CTI a lot, not sure how much it helped. GPA when applied was 3.5. also they don't care about GPA.

>>8595801
Are you still sucking dicks?

>>8597911
Fuck this makes me legit want to kms. I had over 300k at ATH now have like 60k. Wish I wasn’t so dumb and greedy. I talked to someone who’s also a legit engineer who’s been in since 2011 and basically confirmed coding on dApps is a meme. It’s way to difficult and not truly decentralized
