Here's a tip to make more money as a dev: Target small companies. Seems counter-intuitive, but many small companies are willing to pay a couple of devs (even sometimes a single dev) much higher salaries to keep them happy (and around) vs. hiring a more "normal"-sized dev team at more normal (lower) salaries. $200K dev salaries are not uncommon, and not strictly FAANG.
Absolutely. This is especially a good path if you are straight out of bootcamp or a lesser known college or self taught. I have moved to progressively smaller companies making a significant amount more each time. Eventually I could move to a larger company.
100% I used to work in FAANG and made 180k there after three years of working. Left my job for a medium sized company and am now making 260k a year. Definitely not as large as some other people but I still have room to grow.
@@officialsterlingarcherman you make a killing man where I live that can get you a absolutely gorgeous home with a comfortable amount of money left over any advice as I’m fresh out of hs and want to get in this career path
@@dkabyss7035Same. I'm outta college, and I wouldn't mind working for a smaller company, faang is pretty much overrated with all the layoff and hiring freezes
The longer i've been a SWE, i realized big tech and FAANG companies is not only about being a good programmer but also having a good personality is key to actually stay in big tech. I emphasize people trying to get into big tech to be a likeable person, and stop being awkward and weird.
@@DhyaaneshSudhakar That's entry level in San Diego. Your mileage will vary based off of where you are based. Typically, higher costs of living inflate salary as well.

I get about a 45k raise every jump. Keep moving every few years. Started at 70k. Now at 165 with 10% bonus after 5 years. Always negotiate your salary especially with a couple years or more under your belt. It is harder to do this straight out of college or other path but you could get more potentially.
I was thinking of finishing a certificate for programming that teaches me advanced and beginner python and c Sharp I believe. Would you recommend that instead of a 4 year bachelor's honestly? I'm 30 years old by the way. Hope to hear from you. Thanks
Pick a language to be proficient at. I would guide this by what is most in demand. I am proficient in Java and work with most Java related technologies. Also familiar with a bunch of other tech. Important technologies to know or be familiar with outside of a programming language are containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), CI/CD, event/message streaming/queues like kafka or rabbit mq, and cloud computing (aws, azure, google cloud). For both frontend and backend langauges it is always good to know a framework like react, vue or angular, spring or some other framework for your specific language. At some point pick another language to be pretty good at. Its a good idea for this language to cover many of the weaknesses of your primary language and be applicable to another problem domain. This makes you more marketable because you can potentially solve a wider variety of problems.
@@PokemonRocketPulls Hey! Yea a certificate is a great way to start. You may need to demonstrate your knowledge a bit more by building some projects but you will learn a lot in the process and show you are serious about getting into the industry. I would make sure the certificate is from a credible provider before investing in it. Other than those minor things it is a great way to start! I did the whole 4 year CS degree thing and TBH it might have been better to do another route when thinking back on it.
I know someone who is making around $250 an hour. And this person totally deserves it. It's not about how much you make but about how much you know and how productive you are. Money will follow.
Software developer of 5 years now: - I had no related education (Got a psychology degree) - I learned 100% on RUclips tutorials for 2 years - Wrote my first "hello world" at 27 years old - Made a bunch of personal projects and an online portfolio of them First job only paid 40k a year, but as everyone knows, that first year of experience is all that matters. You guys can do it too, just keep working on it. There's tons of success stories.
@@bhyyrttf The question is not always about whats hot in general. I started with Android (java/kotlin) and found no one would give someone with 0 job experience that job. Personally, I found that companies were a lot more willing to give a Javascript developer with 0 experience a shot.
Summary : 1]Focus on doing the work especially when you dont feel like it 2]Apply apply apply - the more you apply the more chances you have bagging a Tech Job 3]Learn and Implement dont just follow along , build something useful and valuable from what you have learned 4]Join communities 5]Contribute to the open source 6]Have patience 7]take frequent breaks dont overlearn - pareto Principle thats it good luck to everyone

Whew. That #7. I’m finishing up nearly 400hrs of a Bootcamp (C#, TS, React, mostly). After I’ve debugged & coded for 5 or 6 hours straight I experience a kind of exhaustion I’ve never known before!

That’s actually very true. I’ve handed out resumes to places where they wanted this and that… I did it anyways and still got calls. It’s probably a little test to show you’re willing to go above your standards and be NOT afraid to “strive” for what’s best and willing to take on new challenges and learn.
@@cozyfalcon 95-98 percent of coding employees are there for the money, and they say it themselves. The people that do have passion for make it further than the rest, but there's a reason why everyone says to code if you want money.

Very heartening. Just going back to school at 41, been a truck driver over the road for years and have wanted to do this since I was a kid. Hopefully not too late!
Start small & scale it fast. Don't chase the salary as a junior developer. Focus on sharpening your skills then you are on demand on the market out there.

"Giving all praise to this team of guru's for bringing my life back on track when I thought everything was gone, but with the help guidelines I was able to realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment.

110k sounds great but highly depends on where you live. 110k in New York as in other places. One guy mentioned California vs. Chicago. A lower paying job in Germany may even end you have more money in the pocket while having insurances covered and money towards retirement.
Almost everyone, including the media, is anticipating a market catastrophe, and as a result, many are turning a blind eye to the opportunities in the market. I recently began investing in stocks , and it was the best choice I've ever made. If you genuinely want to be financially secure, disregard everything the media is suggesting. The market offers a lot of chances. Maximize your use of it
@jamessarah2702 You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of what occurs, whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned, and that's what matters most.
@jamessarah2702 I would suggest Doris Janette Maule, my current broker. Her services are excellent and her returns are great. I looked up her up after seeing her on a CNBC market interview, she has been a blessing to me.
I was tickled by all the people that didn’t want to disclose their salary. Are they on NDAs👀? They don’t want that family member asking them for any money. I see you!
I think some people arent confident in believing they are worth as much as they get paid. Devs can make some obscene amount of money and so many of them write really bad code.
Some of us believe in privacy and realize the power of the internet. Remember, whatever you say on here stays here forever and possibly can be used against you in the future.
Working in a completely different sector - portfolio management and finance. I’m a SPM (Senior Portfolio Manager) and make between 200-300k a year with stocks and bonuses. That’s crazy, a high-end finance salary makes as much as these developers with 20 years experience and a PhD in Mathematics and Economics… I should’ve chosen a different career path.
"The fastest way to get a raise in salary is to keep looking/keep switching" That's a BAR because I've always heard people say "just work your way up in a company for 5-7 years". If you aren't feeling or seeing the growth you need, don't feel like you owe anything to the company.10 times out of 10, there is a company that has exactly what you need.
This. If your main goal is a high salary and you're displeased with the one in your current company, then you've got very high chances of switching companies and getting a much bigger loan as they're pressured to give you a good offer, if your skillset matches their needs. I've seen many of my friends do it and be very successful with it. I've had the luck that my first company was a paradise to begin with so I don't intend on switching any time soon.
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject ..... Thanks to Mylah Evander the lady you recommended.....
Be open to taking internships, easiest way to get in. 6 months after high school, I was lucky enough to get an internship, wasn’t the greatest pay but it was still something, and now it’s 5 years later with 3 companies on me resume, and making a decent amount for a 24 year old.

This is great! I am currently a nurse in the medical field and with the way healthcare is going nowadays, I notice many of the flaws and ways it can be improved. I recently started having second thoughts about even wanting to be a nurse or staying in the medical field overall.

I think my first route is SQL, Python, Java but not sure what courses are the right ones to choose from. I'm willing to put the hours in after work each day, but I want to make sure I am following a schedule that does not waste time. Suggestions from more experienced developers?
I'd go with Python and the Django framework if I was you. It's what Instagram and RUclips are coded with, among countless other sites. Python is great for newbies as it has quite a gentle learning curve compared with other languages.
@@DBriddo if you had to choose where to learn from, what site would you use? There are a lot of boot camps but I want to make sure I’m learning from the correct people and sites

Here the tips who rush for money to work on code dev, everything you saw on screen is easy until you try to step in their shoes. A lot of hardwork to achieve comfortable place. Even harder to maintain your position. You are replaceable. Some people not build to code. To prove my point: if you never run 10km, try walk for 3km. Some people need a lot of work to do achieve the goal. The hardest working one will stay. Never give up. It is hard to get there.
I wish people focused on other disciplines of IT aside from software engineers. There is a huge range of IT jobs that I notice doesn’t get exposure on RUclips: SREs, IT consultants, IT project managers, devops, cloud engineers, netops, secops. Actually maybe that’s a good thing so SE stays saturated and other jobs stay less competitive.
I agree. I have 3 years help desk experience and I begin AWS Re Start program in a week . I’m very excited to learn as much as possible, programming languages etc and most of all enjoy the journey. I desire to be skilled enough to acquire full remote opportunities.
Nah, that's where full stack devs come in....granted good ones are rare, but you have infrastructure as code, platform as code and other tools to help out with those things.
When we keep our salaries secret, it hurts everyone. It means some people get paid less than they should, and it's harder to ask for a raise. It also creates a culture of shame and secrecy around money. So let's start talking openly about our salaries and working towards fair pay for everyone.
it is fair for different companies to pay different salaries. It is fair for people to make different salaries. Not every company is the same and not every employee is the same.
There are a lot of companies out there who specify on the contract that your salary is confidencial information. Imagine your boss looking at this clip and seeing you disclose that information.
100k in California is roughly 70k after taxes for those wondering. 150k is Californias minimum household income to have if you are to be a normal nuclear family experience within the state (According to the LA Times)

The crazy thing is, I came from sales, and this industry is where I don't even think about the money too often. I just want to build useful stuff and be one of the best at it first, then the big money will come.
Having a solid CS background is key to being best programmer. Developers dont need CS degree but programmers must either know CS concepts by heart or have a CS degree if your CS concepts are solid there are companies that will pay $250k base for your first job
I like to see how things work in USA. For example, in my country if you dont have a degree it means you are nothing. Its also really bad seen to be job hopping, recruiters will never reach you if they see you have been in more than one company in one year...
In the U.S their are many useless degrees, many university grads who are making minimum wage with high debt. School is a investment if their is no way to make a return on your investment then the course you are taking in school is a paperweight, this is what the school system does not tell the youth in the U.S. P.S a Union Electrician in the U.S makes over 100,000k per year.
Degrees are important in the U.S. if you're coming from another country. For instance, it's easy for a Canadian citizen with a relevant engineering or software degree to get a U.S. work visa with a degree, but much more difficult without.
I'm a European engineer half way through my bachelor and this kinda hurts. In my country the cap of a software engineer in a niche field like machine learning is maybe 65K with much higher taxes then the USA. I hope to find an international company after graduating and applying for L1B visa one day. A man can dream
Yep, in Europe and partially western Europe, all IT jobs are like working at McDonald's. Your salary is barely covering your living costs. Most jobs are taking away to Eastern Europe, where people earn $5/hour. Plus, the taxes in every Western country are in reality 50% and more. And that's the reason you can't get a high salary because the employer will pay double tax on you. So..poor developers in Europe in general.
It's a "well paid" career in the States (as a junior not so much given living costs), but here in Portugal is not that great. Juniors make around 1k, 1.2k a month... As a senior you might get around 2k... And alot of the local companies expect you to have senior level knowledge as a junior... It's only worth it if you work for remote companies...
@@andiuptown1711 That's precisely my point. Portugal's economy is more developed than Hungary's. Living standards and wages are higher. It comes to me a shocking fact that developers in Eastern Europe practically make nominally twice the amount that of Portugal.
@@PsychoDude no man, I am in HR and we are paying our developers well, junior is like 35k to 45k annually. Some senior guys getting 80k. Not as good as US but still for Portugal its nice.
Disagree with Anthony at 05:54 It's not for everyone. Some people try it and don't like it. Some people try hard and don't get that far. While self taught is possible, it also has the biggest failure rate. Most people will struggle unless they have above average motivation and organisation. While *some* roles in tech don't need a CS or EEE degree, *some* absolutely do. You aren't learning to write lightweight cryptography for IoT Devices in a bootcamp. I am not being gatekeepy, I am just pointing out people on both extremes (you need to be a genius and do CS degree vs anyone can do this) exaggerate. The truth, as is often the case, is somewhere in the middle.
It’s not because they’re shy it’s because they’ve been told not too and also it’ll be in their contract not to reveal that. For competitive sake and or pricing other companies /jobs.
I used to overestimate my intelligence and was like “iM gOnNa MaStEr pYtHoN aNd C bY tHe eNd oF tHiS yEaR jUsT wAtCh” guess who totally did not even come close lmao. too stupid to learn programming and all that technical computer stuff (how do people just casually be sayin’ “ya i make apps as a side hustle”) 😭 i feel deflated watching vids about programmers talking abt their success stories with programming internships then getting into FAANG and silicon valley etc. Much rather prefer writing and humanities. Im majoring in international relations and law rn. Ive heard that Job prospects for IR are rather bleak but its a field im passionate about and enjoy doing so we’ll see. 🤞
@@zainahmed5320 idk why people still says that layoff and recession are impacting the job markets . Is it ? can someone clarify what engineers/work are impacted
@@sohailkan17 It's mostly impacting recruiters, HR and business side. But, there are engineers who have been laid off. It's only temporary. Look at what happened in 2008. Thousands of Engineers were laid off, but did that stop more jobs from being added in? I actually switched jobs in January, when layoffs were absolute worst. I know many other people who found better and high paying jobs during layoffs. Companies who do layoffs are only doing so to secure their finances. That doesnt mean they wont hire people back for those and more roles. Tech is always growing, its the perfect investment for a career.
Those sallaries are highly dependent on the country and where the company is located. In germany the average salary for a software developer is 54k Euros ao of you are making 80k your really really high in numbers.
Guys just don’t forget that those salaries are based on stocks comp. If the stock is up you make 400k but on the next day is 200k. As a se manager the most important skill that I look for at my engineers is how good they can deal with a certain challenges.
Sad this is not reality in other countries. Here in Brazil, companies try to get the most they can out of you, paying very little, and when it's too expensive for the company, they simply let you go. Not to mention, you need multiple skills like coding, database, infrastructure, sales, support, and more.
It's still like that in the US, just depends where you work. I'm in the networking field and work in the finance industry. The first two companies in the industry I worked for were exactly like how you described the companies in Brazil. The one I'm at right now isn't like that, but it's also a much larger company with bigger teams.
Same here in Europe, especially the Netherlands, if you make 80k a year you are already amongst the highest paid. Then again the costs of living in the US vs Europe may vary. It also depends in which sector you work.
What they fail to tell you is that the higher paid coders are ones who can code very efficiently, its like writing a book, their are many ways to write the same story. The way you code is the way you think, it's something you are born with, it's why they are paid so well because they are a needle in a haystack.
@@balloney2175 Not everyone can be a great writer, not everyone can be a great musician like many other things not everyone can be a great coder, you may be able to get the job done but not as efficient as others.
@@vazsa7387 Ever hear about tone def? Also why do some kids create masterpieces that are better then people twice their age, why is Mozart still known when their are thousands and thousands of people who have been in music longer then him. Why can some writers write a best selling novel in a month while others take years. Same deal with coding my man.
Now that we're in post-2020, a question to consider adding: "do you work remotely?"; Someone making $150k and living in a city in California is now very different from someone who also makes $150k at a similar company but works remotely and lives in rural Arizona, as an example.
I went to college for game design. I failed math and physics twice because i couldn’t memorize the 20 physics formulas for the matrix equations. That was so hard. So the guy who said you don’t need to be smart is lying. Only smart people can code. It takes a lot of mental energy.
I think it’s hard work & discipline honestly. I mean u should have a relatively high IQ, like maybe 120+, that should be enough for you to be successful if u work hard. If your mental capacity is like 95-115 it gets harder but still doable I think

Pick a language to be proficient at. I would guide this by what is most in demand. I am proficient in Java and work with most Java related technologies. Also familiar with a bunch of other tech. Important technologies to know or be familiar with outside of a programming language are containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), CI/CD, event/message streaming/queues like kafka or rabbit mq, and cloud computing (aws, azure, google cloud). For both frontend and backend langauges it is always good to know a framework like react, vue or angular, spring or some other framework for your specific language. At some point pick another language to be pretty good at. Its a good idea for this language to cover many of the weaknesses of your primary language and be applicable to another problem domain.

You may need to demonstrate your knowledge a bit more by building some projects but you will learn a lot in the process and show you are serious about getting into the industry. I would make sure the certificate is from a credible provider before investing in it. Other than those minor things it is a great way to start! I did the whole 4 year CS degree thing and TBH it might have been better to do another route when thinking back on it.

Software developer of 5 years now:
- I had no related education (Got a psychology degree)
- I learned 100% on RUclips tutorials for 2 years
- Wrote my first "hello world" at 27 years old
- Made a bunch of personal projects and an online portfolio of them
First job only paid 40k a year, but as everyone knows, that first year of experience is all that matters.
You guys can do it too, just keep working on it. There's tons of success stories.
How much now? (You can give range)
What kind of RUclips do you recommend?
Which programming language is hot/in demand now and in the future?

@@bhyyrttf The question is not always about whats hot in general. I started with Android (java/kotlin) and found no one would give someone with 0 job experience that job.

Summary :
1]Focus on doing the work especially when you dont feel like it
2]Apply apply apply - the more you apply the more chances you have bagging a Tech Job
3]Learn and Implement dont just follow along , build something useful and valuable from what you have learned
4]Join communities
5]Contribute to the open source
6]Have patience
7]take frequent breaks dont overlearn - pareto Principle

This. If your main goal is a high salary and you're displeased with the one in your current company, then you've got very high chances of switching companies and getting a much bigger loan as they're pressured to give you a good offer, if your skillset matches their needs. I've seen many of my friends do it and be very successful with it. I've had the luck that my first company was a paradise to begin with so I don't intend on switching any time soon.

I'd go with Python and the Django framework if I was you. It's what Instagram and RUclips are coded with, among countless other sites. Python is great for newbies as it has quite a gentle learning curve compared with other languages.

When we keep our salaries secret, it hurts everyone. It means some people get paid less than they should, and it's harder to ask for a raise. It also creates a culture of shame and secrecy around money. So let's start talking openly about our salaries and working towards fair pay for everyone.
it is fair for different companies to pay different salaries. It is fair for people to make different salaries. Not every company is the same and not every employee is the same.

For example, in my country if you dont have a degree it means you are nothing. Its also really bad seen to be job hopping, recruiters will never reach you if they see you have been in more than one company in one year...
In the U.S their are many useless degrees, many university grads who are making minimum wage with high debt.

Most jobs are taking away to Eastern Europe, where people earn $5/hour. Plus, the taxes in every Western country are in reality 50% and more. And that's the reason you can't get a high salary because the employer will pay double tax on you. So..poor developers in Europe in general.

Those sallaries are highly dependent on the country and where the company is located. In germany the average salary for a software developer is 54k Euros ao of you are making 80k your really really high in numbers.
Guys just don’t forget that those salaries are based on stocks comp. If the stock is up you make 400k but on the next day is 200k. As a se manager the most important skill that I look for at my engineers is how good they can deal with a certain challenges.
Even if the stock goes to zero, my pay would be 230k. With stock it’s 750k
@@nameredacted6926 That's my point: if the stock is rising, you can earn a lot of money; otherwise, you're stuck at the base wage.
Exactly. Stock and other benefits should be excluded when talking about the salary.
IRS in the US be like: "yeah, we make $$$ with him".
Sad this is not reality in other countries. Here in Brazil, companies try to get the most they can out of you, paying very little, and when it's too expensive for the company, they simply let you go. Not to mention, you need multiple skills like coding, database, infrastructure, sales, support, and more.
Sabe se Esses salários do vídeo são por ano? Meu inglês não é muito bom 😅
@@jairojjunior8209 é sim
It's still like that in the US, just depends where you work. I'm in the networking field and work in the finance industry. The first two companies in the industry I worked for were exactly like how you described the companies in Brazil. The one I'm at right now isn't like that, but it's also a much larger company with bigger teams.
@@emanuelsds7214 obrigado 👍😁
Same here in Europe, especially the Netherlands, if you make 80k a year you are already amongst the highest paid. Then again the costs of living in the US vs Europe may vary. It also depends in which sector you work.
What they fail to tell you is that the higher paid coders are ones who can code very efficiently, its like writing a book, their are many ways to write the same story. The way you code is the way you think, it's something you are born with, it's why they are paid so well because they are a needle in a haystack.
"... something you are born with..." I beg to disagree.
@@balloney2175 Not everyone can be a great writer, not everyone can be a great musician like many other things not everyone can be a great coder, you may be able to get the job done but not as efficient as others.
lol, nobody's born a coder, nobody's born a musician. you start from nothing and get better as you practice, so stop with that mindset.
@@vazsa7387 Ever hear about tone def? Also why do some kids create masterpieces that are better then people twice their age, why is Mozart still known when their are thousands and thousands of people who have been in music longer then him.
Why can some writers write a best selling novel in a month while others take years. Same deal with coding my man.
Clarity of thought at 30,000 feet and 3 feet.
I'm 37 years old, making $225K (before stock and benefits), as a senior systems engineer.
Job location: silicone valley
Wow
Can i make like 200 or something like that by game developing
@@Far4Away , for sure!
Game dev is like any other SW dev.
@Liza-vb2cu oh wow I'm 16 y old. I have no idea about that field. That's why I asked ya ❤️
Had the same experience as Camille. Just apply to literally everything. Worth it at the end :)
A a software developer in St Louis currently making 100k, I feel these people are grossly underpaid based on cost of living in San Diego.
Now that we're in post-2020, a question to consider adding: "do you work remotely?"; Someone making $150k and living in a city in California is now very different from someone who also makes $150k at a similar company but works remotely and lives in rural Arizona, as an example.
Dude 150k was my starting out of Stanford and now I make 750k with 11 years of experience in NYC
@@nameredacted6926 how did u start with learning programming? school or selftaught?
I'll never understand why people are shy about saying their income, especially at these high amounts
Hey! It was great meeting you guys! Glad to be part of the video. It was nice to see everyone's takes, there's a ton of great advice!
Thanks for being part of it 👍
I agree, doing project based learning is the best case for these type of subjects.
Fully motivated bhai
The second guy be like, I will give you a range from 100k to 100k haha
Watching this as an EU developer just hurts, man.
Moving to USA
As a software developer you can live and work anywhere. You can also do it in the basement if you are a software developer
@@lkahho1215 no the hard truth is the taxes , renting expenses, and charges, and grocery too expensive in us , that i couldn’t even believe it
This is US. In Europe, developers usually make half of their US counterpart.
Great video. Super informative and inspiring for folks looking to get into tech and software development 👍
That guy Dalvin's pretty cool! Thanks, man!
I went to college for game design. I failed math and physics twice because i couldn’t memorize the 20 physics formulas for the matrix equations. That was so hard. So the guy who said you don’t need to be smart is lying. Only smart people can code. It takes a lot of mental energy.
I think it’s hard work & discipline honestly. I mean u should have a relatively high IQ, like maybe 120+, that should be enough for you to be successful if u work hard. If your mental capacity is like 95-115 it gets harder but still doable I think
@@icvpoetry973 all the IQ tests ive taken i get between 135 and 145 but that doesnt' mean I have the patience to code LOL
You don't need to memorize as much as you think. 20+ year experienced devs still Google basic stuff all the time
Ask the question in Italy, you’ll wonder how tha hell we can survive in cities that have the same Chicago cost of living but -3x the salaries
