What It Took To Become An $800,000 Engineer

Can you elaborate more about not focusing so much on DSA and focus on real world Software Engineer problems? I honestly see them all over big tech interviews, in all levels

Selling your soul to a satanic company pays. Just not in the afterlife.

(((((((( duck

Can data engineer do this as well?

What did you do before you got hired at Meta?

Man those are some senior executive level figures here in Australia. Well done

This video was completely life-changing. Thank you so much!

Stop it with I’m not smart…you went to Stanford and got into Facebook. Every one of these geniuses here says the same thing and they quit.

Holding on to equity only makes sense if the company has potential like Uber, Facebook, AirBNB. I cringe when a company that doesn't make any revenue offers equity instead of salary.

May I ask, what is your iq score ?

The title says what it took to be 800k but you are just talking about your salary

Did he sell his META RSY’s? What is their views on splashing this on social media

Thank you ver much to be very honest in this video. My respect to you.

I watched about 1.5 seconds of your film, i can tell you the reason that you went from 0.xx to 800k is because of American foreign policy and monetary policies and the lack of care of silicon valley, thanks.

As a shareholder, I find this compensation appalling. As an engineer, I find it aspirational!

Invaluable information, with excellent delivery and execution. Subscribed. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing all of this. Rarely anyone does that.

I mean all this advice is bunk now that AGI is fast approaching. Especially for poeppe who have yet to get into college.

Really insightful, thank you!

So you are woke and banned conservatives I’m guessing.

I wasn’t ready to be a strong engineer he says after getting hired at Facebook for $150000 salary…
Also
$800000 bro what they paying people and that must be the reason Facebook hasn’t released something positive in like over a decade

meta/silicon valley is another world. there are lots of really god devs who wont break 80k let alone 800.

Understanding what a performance review entails is super important.

I've gotten screwed by a manager because I didn't track enough of my impact over the year and that shunted me down a level. Keep track of everything you do in a separate doc. It saved me from my managers's 'idea' of how I was doing and forced them to give me a higher rating because my manager had a Blindspot to all the work I do.

Be proactive in your performance reviews, spend the mind numbing time to write the doc well. Most importantly, track your impact with proof.

I started a drop-shipping business 2 years ago, currently make >$3.2 million, I'm a 2nd year a my local community college cut my mom wants to see a degree on the wall. What waste.

Whatever it takes to become 800k engineer you'd be millions better off by having your own business instead of being a mere gear in someone elses.

Hey 👋 i tried reach you out over Twitter no response
I need to connect once ,can you please

Hey Rahul,
I loved the video! I think it would be really cool to for you to make a video about where you came from and your background in CS. Possibly showing how you would do your education differently or maybe you wouldn't at all. I think it could be a cool video to see your insights about CS! Thanks!

Remember guys, no matter how hard you try part of your success is “luck”. So don’t even bother thinking you can follow someone’s step and expects to be in the same position. Also, the environment is a major factor as well.

what do you think about paper money that might not reach IPO? It also might expire after 7 years? And employer can terminate you right before vesting? For example, Rippling is handing out equity like it's nothing

Well those days are over, faang is harder to get into than ever

Walmart

Not to brag but I got a £500 bonus last year 😎

What are supposed to do with this information?

The days of this money is over

@RahulPandey. Do companies in silicon valley hire people from other countries like canada/australia . Who do not have work visa or american university degree ?

Doesn’t hurt to have Stanford on that resume

Thanks for making such videos! It really does help. I have been working in tech in companies which don't provide RSU's and hence my salary has always been low. In tech for almost 14 years and I know I have lost lot of money while staying at these companies. I am a Sr. engineer with pay less than $200K and residing in California. Your explanation helps a lot. I always hated prepping for LC and would love to do some real work, but unfortunately LC is the only way to get into these big techs.

thank you Rahul love you thanks for share your valuable experience. really good video i wish one day i become like you 💗

I design high pressure equipment for power plants, making $80k. I can do without fb, but what would happen if a power plant went offline even for an hour? One error and kaboom. Life can be unfair at times but that's how it rolls.

I want to know how you managed your physical health with the job when you were paid 800,000. Surely with that amound of salary, you would be required to work hard on desk and chair!

Thank you for this helpful video❤, one question:
Can a senior full-stack web developer make more than 400k a year?

What are your visa status when you applied for Facebook? How did you get them to sponsor you?

Thank you for the quality content and wish you all the best !

Great video brother.

You see if big tech companies allow someone to do this, imagine what a solo developer can do on their own, when one can make their own decisions and have 100% of the revenue. 4 years is plenty of time to build a multi-million dollar startup and nobody is there to hold the developer back

Thank you for making this video!

you are so good, it's just took you a first few months to learn how to work at Facebook, I'm working at a trading company, my salary is just 200k but it took me over 6 months to learn what is happening here

> you don’t need to be a genius programmer

dude leaving out that he graduated from Stanford with a BS in computer science with distinction and was in the honor society.
