I am both sad that your content and guidance didn’t exist when I was starting out in tech and elated that an entire generation of engineers will benefit from your wisdom. A lot of the advice you share here were things I learned the long and hard way. This is the way.
@codelinx
Honestly we need more of this. People need to share this info that companies weaponize against workers and employees

My favorite part of the video is seeing how YouTube actually costs you immense time and money. Thus proving you're doing it for the community and for younger devs looking to learn and grow. Thank you !

You rock ! Thank you for this. I'm a bit worried because I have seen YouTubers at big tech companies either lose their job because of vlogging, or say that their vlogging was a liability at work. So, take care please, okay? This is really interesting and informative. Your content is very much appreciated. Wishing you the best.

Speaking of your wife: "We are aligned on values." That was one of my takeaways from Millionaire Next Door. Congratulations on the paired success and thank you for your candor.

Takes some balls to declare all your financials. Kudos.

Great video. Hearing the conviction in how you view life and go about it really inspires me to think of it in that way. I just turned 28, getting married in less than 100 days. This year has been life changing. My income has tripled this year, bought some nice things and enjoying it. But, coming to the realization that I need to be smarter going forward and invest in the long game.

He makes alot of money, but how he got there also took alot of sweat, tears and hard work. Don't be envious of his wealth, learn from him.

5:33 “Crypto gains usually come from selling and not from HODLing.” That’s not called investing, that’s called speculating. Thanks for the transparency though. We work at similar companies and have similar household incomes, so it’s helpful to have a peer to compare to on specifics. Great content as always!
@rkumd1
Best channel ever. The contents are honest and of highest quality and value for time. Respect sir!!
@thepeerdependency
You said you're looking for a mentee. Man, I've gained so much from your videos. I'm an SDE-2 at AWS and have been looking for someone more experienced that can impart knowledge on financial management and career development. I'd love to chat! Anyway, incredibly helpful video as always. Thank you

Thanks for sharing the video. You understated the geographic influence on wage income, especially for big tech roles. Outside the US those numbers are largely unheard of, and in the US wage income in places like silicon Valley and New York can be significantly higher.

Hi Steve, thanks for sharing your data. What surprised me more than anything is that your base salary is lower than I expected an L7 Principal to be making. I'm a Sr. SWE and that's my base at a start up.
@AnotherBrownKid
For anyone looking for the amount: $1,030,401
@sugaith
wanna be like you when grown up. Thanks for sharing
@holdir
It's very interesting to see that the biggest chunk of the revenue doesn't come from the salary itself but from other forms of compensation like RSU. Thanks for sharing, not only the compensation numbers but also the philosophy you have regarding the money 👍
