    This kid is young but already knows his stuff and is brutally proactive. He's already a man. Keep it going, mate.

      Hope you land your internship! The first is always the most difficult.

    I have a couple questions.
    1. Do coding interviews prefer u to code in a specific language or not?
    2. What resources did u use to study DSA?
    3. How do you approach recruiters etc? What do you ask them and do you ask before you apply for a job at the company?
    4. Where do you apply for beginner level swe positions? Like what websites, career fairs etc?

    I so hate how everything you see about swe talks about making $200k total comp. But if you look up actual stats the average new grad will make closer to $60-70k

    • @raymondwzeng

      $200k is near-impossible, $100k is difficult, somewhere in the 60-80 range (as you mentioned) is the most likely.

      I know a guy that’s full stack and making 150 in Seattle for his first position. Seems possible for sure

    • @raymondwzeng

      @@magiic3871 Definitely possible! But there's also the consideration that the cost of living in Seattle is pretty high.

    Any updates on the ATT job? I live in Richardson and would like to know if that is a worth wile company to work at. Thanks.

      Too early to say, but it's alright. Assuming you're a new grad expect to commute to downtown Dallas 3-5 days/week. Otherwise there's also a nonzero chance your workplace is in Irving or Plano.
      Typical big company stuff, but TDP is somewhat insulated from it. I'll probably make a video about my experience at some point.

    I have no coding skills at all :(

      It's been 1 year. Have you improved? The only thing stopping you from becoming the best coder you can be is you. You only lose when you give up.

      Short answer - college
      Long answer - I just couldn't focus on handling both content creation and my studies and learning on the CS and software engineering side of things. Now that I'm (mostly) done with school, I might get back into things, but I also want to re-evaluate how I approach Roblox development or interacting with the community.
