Come to the Mexican Silicon Valley! Guadalajara is known as the Mexican Silicon Valley, and has sometimes even been called the next Silicon Valley. You should definitely consider it as it is just a cheap flight away ;) Here’s a story from the Washington Post that mentions it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/is-mexico-the-next-silicon-valley-tech-boom-takes-root-in-guadalajara/2016/05/13/61249f36-072e-11e6-bdcb-0133da18418d_story.html
How Did you get a 200k package straight out of college? What internships did you do? What university did you attend? What other things did you do?What languages are best to know right now? This is addressed to joshbtw Also Katie is so cuteeeeeeeeeee Josh is lucky
I work for Stanford in the physician billing office and THANKFULLY we were already working on a plan to go remote when COVID hit. Unfortunately we were only about a year into this 3 year plan. We ended up going mostly fully remote in two weeks. Right now we all go in 1 day per week but those days are staggered so only 1/5th of us are in the office at a time. It was harder for us because we have HIPAA federal privacy laws we have to comply with and we aren't fully paperless yet so there has to be days in office. My husband works for nVidia in technical marketing and except to go in and pick up or drop off hardware, he's been home since COVID hit. It's been a weird adjustment and definitely has good and bad aspects. For us I already know we will be full time at home because we were already working towards that. For him, it's so much more convenient to be in the lab where they can all share hardware for testing as needed but they made it work well enough that I think at the end of this, he'll be home more days per week than he is on campus.
As a software engineer who works for Amazon in “Silicon Beach” I would recommend checking out and staying in Playa Vista because it’s a super nice community. I am personally quarantining there myself. It may be pricier than other areas in West LA but it’s worth the price and right next to Google and Facebook offices! It’s also a short drive away from Culver City where there are other startups as well as Amazon. I don’t recommend living in Santa Monica although it is a classic city and likely the first place you’ll look. It’s expensive and not as nice of a living environment. It’s a great place to go hangout such as going to the promenade or the beach and has some good tech companies in the area like Snapchat. However, as somewhere you’ll be quarantining I think you’d like a more peaceful, safer, and nicer community like Playa Vista.
You guys should visit the DC/Northern Virginia (Fairfax county) area. We have tons of headquarters based in the area. Capital One being one of the more popular ones. Even though they aren’t a tech company, they do great work in tech. We also have branch offices of Google, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. with a mix of tech startups.
Honestly , seeing techies leave the Bay Area I think will be a good thing overall. The culture in SF has become so stale. Additionally, seeing as though the tech industry contributes so strongly to gentrification especially in SF and Oakland and how it’s driven out so many of the natives (who not surprisingly are Black and Latino). Although it is sad to see how disposable many techies, obviously not from the Bay, view the area.
Definitely an incredible journey!!! It's gonna be fun to explore different city combining with remote work life style, plz take care and I can't wait to see more sharing about your adventure!
Just got an Amazon return offer from my internship, and I’m gonna move to Seattle right after I graduate at end of this year. Looking forward to watch your Seattle trip video!
Long time viewer, first time commenter here. Thanks Kaite and Josh always reply as many comments as you can. Very excited to hear your journey. I'm rooting for you. (No backlashes at home). I'm glad that you guys are experimenting to live in different tech hubs, and talking us along your journey. This is going to be fun. I currently work in tech in NYC, always wanted to work in the Bay area. I will probably re-access in next March, whether if I can keep working remote, or have to relocate closer. (Even if I can work remote, 3-hour time zone difference can be a thing for me....) Wish that NYC can be called "Silicon Empire", since NY is the Empire State and with the Building. Please stay safe. Looking forward to your new series.
Hey thanks for watching our videos! You can definitely make the time zone difference work with lots of companies out here. Twitter has several NYC people Josh would work with. Yeah Silicon Empire would be way cooler if a name haha.
Hi guys! My hubby and I love your channel and we’re excited to hear about all your upcoming adventures. We are originally from California but have been living in Hawaii, on Oahu, for the past 10 years. Not sure which island you’re planning on coming to, but just to give you a heads up, Our COVID cases are pretty bad right now and we’re on lockdown for the next 2 weeks. All beaches and hiking are closed until October 1st. Currently visitors and returning locals have to quarantine for 14 days at least until October 1st, and they keep extending it. Hopefully quarantine will be lifted by November but if not you may be spending half of your month in quarantine. Just check into it before you come. Hope you enjoy your travels!
Yessss you guys should definitely add silicon hills to your list! It’s an amazing place, affordable rent and it has a lot of really good companies! You should also definitely do the cost of living comparisons for the places you plan to go to and how they pay compared to sf and Silicon Valley!
Josh and Katie I’m not sure if you guys might have the info but you should totally compare the cost of living and the salary of Austin and sf! And you also should mention the companies that are in the area like Google, Apple etc...
Cool idea! I just moved from Silicon Desert to Silicon Forest. Happy to provide tips on either. Definitely go to the Desert during March, absolute best month to live there.
@@JoshandKatie Plenty of amazing food options from tacos (Taco Guild) to pizza (Bianco), too many to list here, but happy to provide more later! Biggest known tech companies with offices there are Uber (where I used to work), DoorDash, Square, GoDaddy, PayPal, Oracle, Nextiva and Ring, but there's a ton more.
I just accepted a great offer in IT starting when I graduate this spring and wanted to say thanks for helping so much in my application process. Your videos are really great and so helpful!
I would consider Denver! I work for a large SF based tech company and Facebook just opened up here. We also have google and Twitter along side all the government companies. Boston I’ve heard is big too.
As a 17 year old guy from Turkey watching ur videos motivates me a lot and I work harder like a damn animal. I hope both of u live a happy and successful(ur already succesful but) life!
Hey Josh and Katie! Really love all of your videos that really gives me insight of what really happening to the future of tech guys & gals. I have a questions to ask, do you think online boot camp/courses certificate gives some edge for applying for a job? If it is, do you guys have any recommendation? Cause in my country there's is limited internship/boot camp that connect to CS student carreer, Thanks!.
1. Will you be paying rent for a place in the valley while doing this ? 2. Wyoming/Montana are really great before the winters 3. Flight travel is still dangerous so watch out..
Josh and Katie Nice 👍 I live in Redwood City, I’ve lived here my entire life. Im currently studying CS, hoping to become a SWE. Several tech RUclipsrs live in the area (tech lead, Joma,etc).
1. What big Tech companies are there at your area of visit? 2. Startup companies growing/developing there? 3. Difference in investments they receive compared to Silicon Valley?
Huh, I've always heard silicone forest to refer to the Portland-Hillsboro-Beaverton area. Maybe I'm wrong? Anyway, this is a fun idea. Happy travels you two!
Hey man! I hope you read and answer this ques. Every senior that i have talked to says you need to learn languages like cpp, java, python, etc but NO ONE has a clue as to what we have to learn in those languages. Like are we supposed to learn everything about the language or target special things like data structure coding or what exactly are we supposed to learn in these languages?
@@JoshandKatie Yeah it's a pretty solid tech hub. Not up to par with the bay or Seattle but it's got a lot over here. Microsoft, Google have offices. Redhat, Cisco, Pendo, IBM, tons of small companies too
I heard Lincoln, Nebraska is upcoming tech area. This idea sounds great, travel and exposure to tech hubs. Hawaii though, that sounds like a dream. All the best!
Could you do a rent comparison video of some major states in the US? Like maybe the most expensive places and the cheapest rent places in the US? (specifically North Carolina if possible)
How about Boston metropolitan area? It may not be the biggest of the tech hub but definitely a cradle for lots of tech R&D. Definitely looking forward to what your thoughts are.
I need some advice. So I’m currently a rising senior pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in computer science but now contemplating if I should really go for a Bachelor of Science in computer science instead?? Which one would you pick Josh if you were in my shoes rn? Do employers/ graduate programs care? (I might go for a masters degree later on)...I’ve decided that I want to become a Data Scientist if that helps you. Please reply. I’ve asked a lot of friends, advisors but need your input too.
That is very interesting . I guess it’s also good to leave in a low code area with a sf salary , and I wonder how this effect tech interviews. Thank you for video !
This is a good plan. Name the series as - "Silicon Nomads" or "Silicon Gypsies". Here are the few indicators to compare -1) Ease of doing business 2) raising a family 3) crime rate 4) air quality 5) property rentals 6) cultural diversity 7) poverty 8)salary 9) attrition rates 10)public transportation 11) health care etc... You need to fix the scope first before heading out; then we can compare after you return Palo Alto end of Mar21.
hey josh and katie does your company provide you the cost of food? like because there are free meal in the morning and afternoon for both of you in the company
You look great together! If you have the opportunity and desire, could you please tell us about how comfortable it will be to work in Hawaii, because there are a lot of distractions, it's interesting, because I'm thinking about working remotely from some Islands, thank you!
Without the techies there Bay Area will be completely different. Good thing that Silicon Valley series ended on time. Safe travel guys. Looking forward for the knockoff series.
I am not sure if it is worth moving to L.A. for a major gaming company. Any thoughts? I live on the east coast right now and wonder if requesting to work remotely would be frowned upon.
If you love your life on the east coast, I’d ask for remote. Almost everyone is preparing for a more remote work force post covid, so it is expected. California is all still remote, so you could also start and just ask to continue working remote once offices open up hopefully next summer (knock on wood.)
How do you foresee pay getting affected bc I’ll be rattled if I just spent the last year of my life leetcoding and I’m still going to get paid mid-west money
How this high benefits companies manage to keep their employees remote. They setup an organisation to deliver breakfast and buffet at home, coffee machine, billiards, remote control baby-foot ...
No... Simple answer. To put this in context, the janitors and people tell tokens at subway stations were easily pulling 100K a year + full benefits. If you try to make do with $75K, you will hate the experience very shortly.
What University did you go to? I'm slightly worried me not going to a prestigious Uni might hinder my chances of getting a good job at a good tech company...
Hey Josh! Did you get your Sublime subscription 😂 Please more videos like that and anyways would be really great if you do a video about companies in those areas. Safe travelling ✌️
Hey I had a few questions i needed help with... I am persuing my MS from an India Uni. I have Comptia A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and also good at programming languages like Python,C++ and average at HTML,PHP,SQL and Java. I do not have any intern experience but have conducted coding classes and webminars for middle school and highschool students. What are my odds of getting a job at SF bay Twitter? How about After i complete a 6m internship with TCS (India)? If the answer is Yes please make a guiding video on how to apply at SF bay twitter and the possible posts I or anyone with these qualifications could get in the next 5 years or remote. Thanks a lot 😊💥.
Aloha from Hawaii! I moved out here last year as my boyfriend got a job at one of the observatories on the Big Island. There isn't much of a tech industry here besides the astronomical observatories and the military and government jobs... but it's still worth a visit if you can work remotely.
@@JoshandKatie I worked in IT for a company in the transportation industry, and was able to keep working that job remotely before being laid off in March. I just finished a BS in computer science though so I'm looking for web or software development jobs while working on a side project for now.
Sorry but I find open office one of the worst concepts, makes it easy for distractions. I'd rather old school cubicles and seperate collaboration areas.
Any suggestions for our new Silicon Valley Knockoff series?
Come to Huntsville AL! Tech hub of the south east! NASA, FBI, Blue Origin, Boeing just to name a few all have offices here.
Please talk about the government policies that affect your decision...also maybe some ideas who you want to be president
u can start a tutorial series on something like, python, data structures or JavaScript perhaps?

would love to see cost of living and traffic info for the places you visit compared to SF
Hell yeah, I would like to see a cost comparison video on Seattle vs NYC vs San Francisco
Me too! It would be even more dope if they could compare the life too
Haris Papadopoulos omg it’s the dude from clements vid
We’ll do it!
I started at Microsoft Seattle in March....can't wait to move from NY as much as I love it.
Nice! I was at MS in Seattle for 2 summers.
Lol i feel you we are moving from NYC to silicon Valley but with all this WFH we might stay here as long as possible
How Did you get a 200k package straight out of college? What internships did you do? What university did you attend? What other things did you do?What languages are best to know right now? This is addressed to joshbtw

He had *4* internships throughout college at very well known tech companies. That's how.

Hey Josh and Katie, please keep making more videos frequently. I am watching your videos on loop and will love to watch more. Great content! Kudos!
Thank you! We are working on getting into a better schedule
Would be cool if you guys did Boston!! I think it's up there for sure between SF, Seattle and NYC
Daniel Boa we love Boston!
Our list is a little western US bias
@@JoshandKatie def understandable haha but had to give the shoutout
Cool idea! I just moved from Silicon Desert to Silicon Forest. Happy to provide tips on either. Definitely go to the Desert during March, absolute best month to live there.

What! Amazing. Congratulations 🎉
It's cool that you guys have come up with this idea .. Happy Adventure Looking forward for exciting videos.. Stay safe ✌ 😎
I would consider Denver! I work for a large SF based tech company and Facebook just opened up here. We also have google and Twitter along side all the government companies. Boston I’ve heard is big too.
Call it Silicon Mountain haha. They do call the Co Springs Aerospace Alley.
Yeah that would be so cool to see!
As a 17 year old guy from Turkey watching ur videos motivates me a lot and I work harder like a damn animal. I hope both of u live a happy and successful(ur already succesful but) life!
Hey Josh & Katie! What are you personally enjoying more? Work from home or working at a physical office?
Do your macbook gets heated up and starts throtling and if yes then which other laptop do you recommend.
You’ll enjoy Hawaii and will probably learn to surf with such warm water! I’m visiting from CA and loving it!
Ahh so fun! Which island?
Josh and Katie I’m on Oahu island in Honolulu!
Hey Josh and Katie! Really love all of your videos that really gives me insight of what really happening to the future of tech guys & gals.

1. Will you be paying rent for a place in the valley while doing this ?
2. Wyoming/Montana are really great before the winters
3. Flight travel is still dangerous so watch out..
We stopped paying rent back in April when we moved out. We are road tripping, so no planes 😊
Josh and Katie yep but i heard Hawaii in the video so 😉 but just saw Hawaii tickets for nov are super affordable. Very tempting
You guys should check out Redwood City, CA. It’s very close to Menlo Park and cheaper.
We love Redwood City! We’ve considered renting out one of the apartments downtown there when we get back to the Bay Area

We heard both researching online... I don’t think there is something official ??
This is the best channel ever!!!!
Looking forward to my ms after undergrad...
Can you research the salary for Administrative Assistant at the companies you mention in Silicon Valley
should be a very interesting Knockoff series. looking forward to seeing it! Best of luck and stay safe!

"working remote from our parents basements"
all my college homies in the bay area: ayyy yo that aint a bad deal at all
Haha yeah it’s been super nice!
Gotta head to the east coast. Raleigh-Durham
Ooooo. Do they have a big tech scene?
@@JoshandKatie Yeah it's a pretty solid tech hub. Not up to par with the bay or Seattle but it's got a lot over here. Microsoft, Google have offices. Redhat, Cisco, Pendo, IBM, tons of small companies too

I heard Lincoln, Nebraska is upcoming tech area. This idea sounds great, travel and exposure to tech hubs. Hawaii though, that sounds like a dream. All the best!
Could you do a rent comparison video of some major states in the US? Like maybe the most expensive places and the cheapest rent places in the US? (specifically North Carolina if possible)
I’m wondering if the salaries for Sofrware engineering will go down. Due to most tech companies leaving the Bay Area...
Wow, good luck with your next plans. Stay safe guys. Greetings from Mexico.
You should also plan to Visit Nairobi (Africa's Silicon Valley)
Ooo that would be sick! They blocking US passports like the rest of the world? 😷😷

How about Boston metropolitan area? It may not be the biggest of the tech hub but definitely a cradle for lots of tech R&D. Definitely looking forward to what your thoughts are.
hi josh and ketie do you think tags and seo are still a thing and have u ever used google ads ?? to promote your videos
Are you guys still paying rent in SF or did you guys break the lease?
I need some advice.

Whne you were an ios engineer at twitter, what did you mainly use to code? Xcode swift?
Xcode and Objective C. Robinhood uses Swift.
Silicon forest is in Oregon Portland. Did you say it's in Seattle?
Will you consider the Pittsburgh area after your current plan?
I thought about working remotely from Hawaii but the time difference would be so difficult. How are you planning on dealing with that???
6am let’s gooooo
That is very interesting . I guess it’s also good to leave in a low code area with a sf salary , and I wonder how this effect tech interviews. Thank you for video !
Yes save that $$$
Flutter vs React Native, which one should I learn?🤔
Neither. Just straight Swift or Java/Kotlin.
@@JoshandKatie Why?🤔
That's awesome! Looking forward to see that!
btw, come to Brazil! You would like here :D
That would be siiiick. Once the world gets normal again
@@JoshandKatie oh yes! when the world gets normal. Health in the first place
This is a good plan. Name the series as - "Silicon Nomads" or "Silicon Gypsies".

You need to fix the scope first before heading out; then we can compare after you return Palo Alto end of Mar21.
Can you tell a non technical background want to become a adavnce software professional first what language he should learn
are you guys going to continue the tesla series? i really loved that! great videos as always
Yes we will!
hey josh and katie does your company provide you the cost of food? like because there are free meal in the morning and afternoon for both of you in the company
In the office, yes. Not while we are remote

vid didn't show up in my recommended for some reason
you should make vlogs about the monuments

How do you foresee pay getting affected bc I’ll be rattled if I just spent the last year of my life leetcoding and I’m still going to get paid mid-west money
It would take a lot to affect pay! They are still doing Bay Area salaries for those interviewing to be in the SF/Silicon Valley offices
How this high benefits companies manage to keep their employees remote. They setup an organisation to deliver breakfast and buffet at home, coffee machine, billiards, remote control baby-foot ...
Should I learn flutter or swift sir
Swift
How about ep3 of tesla project?
Coming 😊
I’m curious, if you feel comfortable sharing, are tech salaries being reduced during this pandemic?
Nope
Why is the cost of living so High at San Francisco? Can someone live there with making $75000
No... Simple answer. To put this in context, the janitors and people tell tokens at subway stations were easily pulling 100K a year + full benefits. If you try to make do with $75K, you will hate the experience very shortly.
Make a video on how to be q freelance iOS and Android developer please
Hey! I’m not the best at free lance haha. Maybe I’ll try it out then make a video.
Have you guys thought about taxes?
What University did you go to? I'm slightly worried me not going to a prestigious Uni might hinder my chances of getting a good job at a good tech company...
BYU. University doesn’t matter.
Wanna know what's funny? Google doesn't require a degree for any position swe position 😂

Katie is your job still in San Francisco. Why move to Palo Alto if your commute will increase so much. I understand josh but your commute girl
We will probably move somewhere between the two places so we can split the commute!
I would add Boston if you can
That would be so fun 😍
denver？
Eat that Poke and Spam Musabi in Hawaii.
Oh yummmmm 😋
I guess those companies have realized they can save $100 billion trillion on not providing free food anymore!
You miss out on that free food tho surely ;p

Hey I had a few questions i needed help with...
I am persuing my MS from an India Uni.
I have Comptia A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and also good at programming languages like Python,C++ and average at HTML,PHP,SQL and Java.
I do not have any intern experience but have conducted coding classes and webminars for middle school and highschool students.
What are my odds of getting a job at SF bay Twitter?
How about After i complete a 6m internship with TCS (India)?
If the answer is Yes please make a guiding video on how to apply at SF bay twitter and the possible posts I or anyone with these qualifications could get in the next 5 years or remote.
Thanks a lot 😊💥.
You need not be nervous 😂😂
Thanks!
You never know 😂😬😬
Hey Josh, you look like Andrew Garfield.
Andrew Garfield looks like me.
@@JoshandKatie haha yup, can't disagree
Imagine making six figures remotely working for a big company while living in a low-cost city.
It’s been pretty sick 😝
Thats our dream too! We are still trying to figure out how to stay with family and also move to areas where our quality of life would be better.
Gotta get me degree in nursing ASAP. I’m tryna make 6figsssss
Almost like being a Digital Nomad. Jealous!
Seize the opportunity while we can. We’ll be back in the Bay Area soon enough
Come to Ukraine (jk but actually Ukraine is really big for IT)
Yes please. Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙌
Aloha from Hawaii! I moved out here last year as my boyfriend got a job at one of the observatories on the Big Island. There isn't much of a tech industry here besides the astronomical observatories and the military and government jobs... but it's still worth a visit if you can work remotely.
👋👋👋 did you work in tech prior to moving out there?
@@JoshandKatie I worked in IT for a company in the transportation industry, and was able to keep working that job remotely before being laid off in March. I just finished a BS in computer science though so I'm looking for web or software development jobs while working on a side project for now.
Sorry but I find open office one of the worst concepts, makes it easy for distractions. I'd rather old school cubicles and seperate collaboration areas.
we've never had cubicle life so no preference
