And then there’s me applying to internships everyday and never hearing anything back 😂
Keep applying and you’ll get one, one day and good luck with the process
keep grinding, it’s a numbers game, you’ll get one soon
Same boat😢
@@namanhkapur i actually just had one today. It wasn’t with an actual recruiter but recorded my responses to questions. Probably not great but hey it’s a start!!
And crazy thing is we graduated
I never interned during my school. My first job paid 40k per year, one year later second job paid 65k,
Couple of years later 105k,
4 years later 300+
You can always catchup in software engineering.
Holy shit
damn in computer science?
Would you mind sharing some more about your story?
4 years later it will be 500k
Damn
As a third-year cs college student that never worked an internship, this video was tough to watch but makes me determined to land an internship soon.
the goal was to show you the finish line is near and so worth it - keep grinding!
I never got an internship but got hired right out of school at a career fair my school was having. Don't give up
Dont worry too much about it. If you get one, great. If not, no worries. I never got a single internship throughout university and now 4 years into my career I work for the one of the biggest Canadian startups. Dont let that define you.
@@19adhin thank you for the kind message!
Wait, why do people want internships while studying.
Maybe we're lazy in Sweden as college is free but doing math and CS for 9 months a year full time is enough. Don't you take breaks?
To anyone feeling discouraged, I go to a low ranked state school and never got an internship. I was simply never good at the interviews. I work in the field of data science, and it’s very competitive without a masters.
I did not give up and now, I am joining Microsoft in summer 2023. All paths aren’t equal, keep your head up!
Great.
IM PROUD OF YOU GOOD JOB!!! I am a first-year Mechanical Engineer hopining to get an internship as soon as I can.
Same. Never got an internship and about to start as a software engineer at a defense company next month.
how much they gonna pay u
So you don’t have a master degree in data science ?! That’s cool
Most of these interns make 2-3x more than what the average person in America makes full time (hourly)! This is some great motivation for those in CS/looking to get in.
hope this inspired you!
bro, these interns make more than a "rich" person here in Brazil....
@@sparkles8654 The guy making 90$ an hour makes a Bangladeshi's weekly salary in a hour 😭😭
Interns make no money
@@tasnim569 Tea workers in Sylhet earn less in a month than he does in an hour.
as discouraging as it is to watch this video and compare it to ur current situation, i can give you some twinkling of hope. i never interned. i found my first job 6 months after college making 50k a year. 2.5 years after that, i landed my first big tech job which gave my total comp of >250k. no matter your situation, just keep putting in the work and i promise you will see the result.
so inspiring thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. I'm current on my 3rd year in uni. I do OPT (optional pratical training) for 9 months in a QA position. I have never had an internship before, so, I will keep in mind this.
50k is 5$ above minimum wage
love your comment man🥰🥰🥰🥰
I wonder, which University you studied in ?
I was just wondering about how it’s been a while since I saw your video in my sub box. Glad you see you’re back!
thanks for being here since the early days
Wow seriously impressive! I specialize in marketing in the entertainment and publishing industry, it’s really interesting to see these transparent numbers from college students in a different field of interest!
Seeing a lot of commenters feeling discouraged, just know that the two main schools these students went to (UC Berkeley and USC) are probably a big part of why they are in such incredible internships. If you aren't going to a school of this caliber, you just have to face the facts that you'll have to work harder to get to this same place. I think the reality of it is that most people will not be able to get this level of internship BUT once you're a few years into your career the gap between you and these people will narrow considerably and you can start competing with them more easily.
thanks for writing this, totally agree - some things give you a boost in life but you can always make up for disadvantages with more effort, keep pushing!
Thank you for the context
I think its more so the environment he found them in, not that many students go to in person hackathons and talk to sponsors anymore
@@namanhkapur I went to a state school. There's literally no point if don't go to a top school for CS, you're behind for years, if not a decade. I've got 4yoe and only make $280k now.
❤
1:32 this guy and I are pretty similar. I'm a senior Mechanical Engineering student and I just self-taught myself Python at the very beginning of the year. I landed an internship at a startup and they wanted me to either work in controls or data science. Turns out, the data science team had a lot more work and they decided to keep me for the fall semester as well for more data work! So I'm lucky enough to apply for both software and mechanical engineering roles and hopefully that gives me more options!
Good luck!!
wait thats so cool, you taught yourself coding and it landed you a job? and if you were getting into a data science team why not just do data science to begin with.
We want more episodes like this.
Thank you.
I'm a french student trying to get an internship in the US, this video clearly boosts my motivation to get one there !
It's a huge advantage to attend these ivy schools as you get internships at Amazon, Meta Apple etc. and upon graduation you placed at these same companies. Otherwise it's very difficult to break into these firms as an experienced professional. The interview process is very brutal !!
This video is inspiring, thank you my friend. I can’t help but feel a little dismayed hearing some of these interns make more in a summer than I did in a year, working my ass off as a carpenter. Good on them for making good decisions. And good for you for showing what’s possible❤
carpenters can make a lot too, keep grinding!
that's awesome! thanks for sharing.
This is so helpful thank you Namanh
My internships 10 years ago were not offering this much. If I was a student now, I'd want to capitalize on these paid internships.
Interning as a freshman at Amazon for 9K a month!!! That amount is so wild to me.
Game design/development is the main reason that I wish to get into CS for. This is very motivating. Although yes, non of them might actually be game developers, rather they're most likely to be software engineers. Still, very motivating.
De be warned though, game development is the lowest paid, worst culture & work/life balance category in software engineering.
I do game dev using unity just as a hooby but I will never make the mistake of choosing it as a career
Game design I heard has a horrible work culture so tread carefully
I got my first internship because of a resume workshop where the guy who helped me clean my resume became my manager for the summer. Also good to note that i had a recommendation from a teacher…so networking and knowing ur people is a bonus
Cool video bro, loving the quality of the videos even better noww
thanks for watching!
Im studying IT and just recently decided to learn some coding on the side, this is a heavy dose of motivation
Bro the salaries are insane. But I freeze up when it comes to technical stuff. I am a CS student but just the overall job environment is just tense. Hopefully I can land an Internship by the 2023 Summer 😬.
keep practicing, that's the only way forward -- good luck!
Tense? Seems like a low stress job
@@malcolmjelani3588 the interviews are a difficult process
@@malcolmjelani3588 If you’re doing trivial stuff like changing colors then yeah it’s low stress but for anything else it’s tasking
It wouldn’t pay so much if anyone could easily do it
@@malcolmjelani3588 interviews are pretty difficult
Don’t know who you are or why you showed up on my feed, but I’m glad it did.
As a senior who initially went in for computer science but ended up switching majors so many times because I wasnt sure what I wanted to do, I kinda wish I just stuck with computer science. But now Im ready to pursue computer science as my major even if it will take me a couple more years 👍
Am in Africa studying in a university, am motivated by this video. May God help all young people who are trying to succeed in life
What does a fictional character have to do with this lmao
take your life into your own hands instead of this brainwash
I had my first data analytics internship last semester making $18/hr, this motivated me to work way harder. All the people in this video are amazing!
that’s an amazing start, keep pushing!
i am learning data analysis now , could i ask you to help me to get into an intership with some tips
im in IT and started making 24/ hour, only have an AS degree, i feel like that is still a little bit for me lol 🤣🤣
@@Brucelee89896 in my opinion that is really impressive! We will still continue to pursue higher pay.
@@athenasalomons5847 that’s awesome to hear!
I’m just focusing on making as many projects and learning more language so I can get my resume better 😮
I'm majoring in finance, but I've always loved C.S and technology in genral and learning about it and recently I've been thinking about changing my major to C.S but I have no clue what to do honestly.. Im taking fundamentals of C.S for credits and I find the class fun as well.
I never got any fancy internships. I went to grad school, studied theoretical physics, and now my first job I’m making $126/hour in Silicon Valley. Internships definitely help, but they aren’t necessary. Just get comfortable being able/willing/excited to learn anything technical from scratch, no topic should scare you :D it’s not magic
You got to remember they are in California and to live their is not easy financially so the money that seems a lot is really not enough in the grand scheme of things. But nonetheless I think this is a great way to show others pursuing higher education to start early with the internships because the more experience and knowledge you can attain the better.
It’s not uncommon to make similar wages in lower-cost states. I made $45 as an intern, remote. Lived in a super cheap area in Texas.
It's so nice that they get to do internships and such. In my country we don't have these opportunities. You get internships once you graduate if you get any. That's why I'm hoping to get a job internship after just get ,u degree
Great video, Namanh!
🥰
If anyone is feeling discouraged, here is a reality check:
California is generally an expensive place to live so to balance the living costs, the pay is generally higher. Also, UC Berkley tuition must be ground-breakingly expensive!
Moral: row your own boat and steer the direction you wanna go. That’s what these students are doing and they see the benefits of it!!
UC Berkeley isn’t but usc is
UC Berkeley tuition + all associated fees sum up to about $16k/year (excludes living costs like rent and food) for in-state residents. About 2/3 students get some sort of financial aid, from a few hundred in scholarship to full ride (not uncommon). Plus, there is EBT program available for students to get all groceries paid for by the state.
Even with that, these people are getting wayyy too much
I just got my first internship as a junior (switched to CS as a sophomore), but it's at my university which pays minimum wage for student workers. So I'm making $12/hr but I'm happy that at least I have something relevant to put on my resume now.
it’s a great first step!
god damn this is making me motivated even more
thats insane - im doing grad work and working in another industry. Moving into coding, info sysytems but for only things i like
This video was inspiring but also a hard pill to swallow. I haven't done any internships but I did GSoC this year and did hackathons. Great video Namanh!
hope this inspired you to keep going, so many cool opportunities await you!
These internship salaries are phenomenal. Wages in Europe are not even comparable! (I live in France and top firms only pay 2k€/3k€ per month)
You also have to factor the fact that ; the safety net is more robust in Europe. Healthcare is very expensive in North America.
@@MessiestFort yup, and things like public transportation/general safety is way more expensive in the us. europe as a whole has more benefits, even tho you earn less there.
This video is pure motivation
Cool content! Thanks
my first non-tech full-time job paid $18/hr during the pandemic. decided to work super hard to transition to tech in 2 years and went for a technical masters. landed my first internship paying 8.5k/month. my position isn’t SWE and do very little coding though. it was all worth it despite all the tears and sleepless nights due to the tech market downturn. you will get to where you want to eventually although it might take longer to do so.
That's awesome. Congratulations to you. 🎉 May I know what your role is, please?
The internships these students have is definitely amazing since they are in silicon valley and go to very prestigious schools, but it is definitely not the norm everywhere else in the country. In the Midwest SWE internships are between $15-$25/hr (probably closer to $30 if you go for minneapolis/chicago)
Hey, lots of money in Chicago from the quant firms actually
Very true, that's how it is here in ohio
Hi Namanh, Can you please make a video for design documentation templates samples and best practices to build better application
Hi Namanh, I found one of your RUclips videos and I watched a couple of you other videos. I’m taking a computer class right now in high school that teaches Python and it’s a 3 year course. I don’t really know a lot about Python right now, but I’m trying. The other classes for the next years are a JavaScript and cyber security class and I’m planning on taking those classes along with a video game design class in my senior year of high school next year. 😅. I know it’s a lot. But I started this course a year late. I want to get good at coding. Do you recommend any computer science books that teaches coding too?
Wow this makes me wish that I studied CS in college T-T I'm now in post-grad just trying to figure out how to make my way into this type of career - feels quite overwhelming
Honestly CS is overrated.... You don't need CS to make good money. If you want to get into big tech, leetcode is your friend....
as long as you have some sort of technical background, you should be able to learn how to code and if you interview prep you should be able to break into a technical career
All companies pay Interns in States? That's actually impressive. In Malaysia, not all companies willing pay Interns but taking Interns as cheap labor for them. If there are companies willing to pay interns, the interns only will earn around USD 80-200 per month. Not per hour but per month.
Its become more of the norm over the last decade because applicants couldn't afford to take an internship.
It's generally illegal not to pay interns in the US.
hello sir i have been following your vidios and they are realy very inspiring sir
appreciate the support!
Namanh great video!
Side note: might need to remove "BlockFi ($10 Free BTC when trading at least $100)" from the "Investing" part of the description
thanks for pointing this out -- removed both BlockFi and Celsius referral links from all of my videos; want to make sure i'm only recommending products of the highest quality
This was cool! I am an accounting major already working in the field but I liked seeing this. Can’t believe how many of these internships pay off the bat. Especially that much. But it seems like they don’t hire them very often as they had a lot of internships. So high pay, but not very consistent?
Some places students rack up internships and then decide on one place for after they graduate
@@flyfreewithme that’s crazy to me. Sounds like easy money too lol I guess I went the wrong path. I have it pretty easy though. I don’t know how the work is for that
@@zacharyaceves8214 Don’t worry or envy about it. It’s difficult to do and in the long run doesn’t mean you’re passionate about actual SWE/programming/social skills. SWE is not that enjoyable without passion for it. I’ve seen class padding to fit things around getting interviews first and foremost. I personally disagree with the tone of the video of everyone saying their hourly, only getting excited at $30+ rates seems like, and not openly showing a full picture of how it works.
Some Majors reasons
1. Some states are more expensive to live in, so salary tends to be a bit higher, not staggering but a little bit more
2. Most Interns work the summer only, with just a few excpetions, so the pay rate is adjusted for about three to 4 months ish, instead of a full year
3. Computer science is in high demand and alot of the work they do is in high demand, so paying alot of benefits and perks comes with that demand
4. It is a field that is growing and growing in diffrent ways, you have to keep ya self updated on everything, its a field that is changing quickly, you cant just practice and perfect one thing. You have to be a multi tasker, capable of doing multiple complex and rigiourus tasks at once
Never went to college, but got a tech internship nonethless at a big tech startup. I guess I'm kinda good at solving problems because they let me stay after 3 months, making $30/hour
Dang!!! I work for a cheese company and get payed $21.15 and topout is $27.50 plus $1.50 for nights. I'm deciding on either software engineer or network engineer.
I was paid $10/hr for my first internship - at a cisco competitor. 3 years later I have finished my masters 3.8 gpa in Comp Sci and haven't landed a job or internship since May (now September)
Great video!
It would be better actually to share their experience with us , like how they made it
and to share real and true parts of their life , the projects they worked on ..these stuff
great suggestion for a future video!
You are awesome but I wish you can ask them what tools and programming languages they used the most during their internship so we can focus on them. Furthermore, I wish you could ask them what they should have focused on more during their studies to increase their chances of getting more marketable
It doesn’t matter much what tools and languages you use. Freshmen only know the basics usually, and seniors have basic knowledge about multiple languages. So it matters more that you are motivated, a self-learner, adaptable to changes, and a good team player.
@@VGBNDGRLFreshman at UC Berkeley is NOT your typical freshman lol
They are very lucky. I was unable to get an internship due to the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, I graduated with BS in MIS during the time of the pandemic. The worst part is that I could not get a tech job due to being hard of hearing/deaf. I am stuck in these situation problems. I was now thinking of entering a master in business analytics/data analytics program. Do you think it's worthy? Please advise
EDUCATION is POWER and MONEY is the benefit of being Educated 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 all these Students INSPIRE ME to do better and to continue to grow 🥰 love your videos keep up the good work 👏🏻 👏🏻
quite accurate video. Salary at these companies has been an obscure topic to talk about because the more people know about it the more competition for sure but I disagree. I believe this will help developers to stop being lazy and start working as more people now can replace them.
I'm thinking AI will replace most of these jobs in few years 🤔
I'm graduating in December and currently have one internship. And it only pays $15/hour. You guys out there make $50/hour. That's insane.
something to work towards!
I'm exactly the same haha. Graduating in December with only 1 internship. Here's to both of us making more in the future!
Hey, when did audio translation came to youtube? This video is the first one to pop up in portuguese for me!! Crazy shit
the one person that was making astronomically lower in canada (cibc) really shows the gap between canadian tech salaries and american ones.
I am studying nutrition and dietetics and the 1,200 hour internship we are required to do is unpaid. Sometimes they cost money too. Watching this I had to take some deep breaths haha.
As a student who failed to get to the top IIT Colleges in India and ended up with a degree in CS ,this video motivated to take up farming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
get that bread
@@namanhkapur Or the roti!
ayy homiee
I kinda wish I had a knack for software engineering but I never did. My major was OMIS and I was horrible at the coding classes. To know someone made what I make in a year over a summer is saddening and makes me wish I chose a different major.
However the more I think about it the more I realize that I kind of like my job right now I am fresh out of college and just signed with the company making around 50K a year. It’s not bad, but hearing 45 bucks an hour for an internship is insane because companies did not even give me the opportunity to have an internship.
Uhh this video is old. There's plenty of people who are jobless after months of applying. Lots of fresh grads earning peanuts etc.
Problem with tech is all these biased videos and tiktoks making it sound like it's easy, these people earn a ton because they are ivy league students who are good enough to participate in hackathons and do well to get into FAANG.
Most people are not at this level. Most people can't pass faangs 4-6 round interviews. Don't believe me? Google it.
the ending was dope
🧸
god damn i should've gone into comp sci. i'm a EE. i make just under $60 an hour. unfortunately the one class they make you take for EE at my schools was C/C++. When that'a your first introduction to programming it's a real buzzkill lol. i do some programming for fun at home, like made a discord bot that would create postmates accounts, and refer themselves so you get the $25 referral credit and basically eat free (assuming your order is $25 or under, or want to put in multiple orders). that project was a lot of fun
Damn, wanna hook me up with that discord bot? lol I'm trynna eat like that
Hook me up with the discord bot lmao
@@can1beatme I would but they patched it when Postmates got bought out by Uber. Last I checked now Postmates and UberEats only gives you a $10 credit. They also updated their system where you have to actually get a delivery to get the referral credit. Back in the day Postmates screwed up and let the referral work for pickup orders so you could order something cheap like $0.25 or under and mark it picked up in the app without even having to be in proximity to the store
I'm just here in my 30s, trying to get into a company, got let go recently at a startup as a SE, tough when you didn't study in college for this and you graduated from a bootcamp and companies don't want to take chances. I'm still going to give it my all and achieve this dream and the salary that comes with.
keep pushing, i believe
Tell me how it goes, interested in how the boot camp route went for you
RIP same here
I just graduated in December with a master's degree in software development and now I'm currently in a boot camp for QA engineering. I'm hoping that having the boot camp stacked on top of my master's degree will help me in getting an interview
Been at Amazon as a Software Engineer for over 8 years now :D Still loving it!
What do u do
remember watching this vid and wanting a internship offer at the pay rate they were saying in this video and I have now received that offer!
Ohhh what internship
As someone who is 29 years old finishing up my freshman year at a local community college for CS, this was pretty eye opening to say the least. I currently make $85-$187/hr as a utility contractor, however this is physical work, it's insane hearing how much these undergrads are making for their first job or internship. I can see I need to start working much harder.
Well, if you get into big tech, it'd be $100/hr ish to start and top out at $200/hr, beyond that it's just really unlikely, part genius and part right place right company right time. Salary doesn't really climb dramatically with experience like it does for most professions. Of course I have no clue on your financial situation, so I can't speak specifically on your risk profile and circumstances, but big tech is known to age discriminate. Someone in his 30s would be looked at unkindly by many companies. This is just an obstacle though, not something insurmountable, but it is a significant risk. Best of luck!
That is insane, currently I am an intern with Toyota as a mechanical engineer earing 27 an hour I just finished my sophomore year and hearing these students talk about their internships and how much do they make is insane, makes me feel bad but hopefully I also land an internship like that in the future!
No reason to feel bad when you’re making much more than the average person and you aren’t even graduated….
mechanical engineers don't make that much anyway. Unless you get lucky.
@@andriyroma8769 not true at all mechanical is a broad degree and you can go into almost any industry with it so the salary ranges a lot
@@gamingsoup563 Listen, I am in this field and I know exactly what I am talking about. As a mechanical engineer you need to work very hard to make over 100k. Many of my friends that mechanical engineers stay in 80k range. Of course there are exceptions, but they don't apply to majority.
@@andriyroma8769 Yes because a lot of MEs end up at large manufacturing companies or similar industry. I’ve seen MEs trapped in these large companies competing with hundreds of others for scarce positions with small comp increases.. with ME industry is everything and learning some languages is a good idea. However this is only what I have experienced
I graduated 5 years ago, learning to code and doing odd jobs daily to sustain myself, and applying for internships + jobs for 1 year and I haven't heard back yet.
keep applying it’s a numbers game
@@namanhkapur sure, brother. Thank you
my man the GOAT, could you give me some advice? This past spring I went back to college to pursue a career in tech, however before all my jobs were managerial positions in blue collar or retail space jobs, how can i make my resume appealing to land my first internship?
I already have business administration degree and studying bachelors of IT with focus on Data Science and MBA. I was making $27 and hour and now I’m motivated to apply at one of these companies. I just had one internship interview where they asked me top five departments I want to work at and ofcourse I chose software engineering lol. Hopefully I get it 😊
Man software is so GOATed. I’m an EE in the aerospace sector-I made $25/hr at my last internship and I make around $32/hr at my current one. Would kill for $40+ an hour lol
ayyy you’re getting close to that software rate
@@namanhkapur when I’m full-time, I’ll make as much as a software intern 😂
@@davidchuong714 hahaha most intern salaries are prorated anyway so it's pretty normal
I feel you. I chose EE because I was more interested in the Hardware side. Got an internship at a top company for Analog Electronics, but videos like this make me question my decision.
@@siddharthvenkatesan7403 if money is whats most important to you, just pick up the surgeon tools
Keep in mind the cost of living in California is triple most other states. So those figures are absolutely adjusted for that reason. But software engineering in general is crazy stupid good money.
It's not triple lmao. It's maybe double at best. I would know, I'm paying it :'(. But it's not as bad as people make it out to be.
I'm doing CS in uk, was fortunate to get in one of the most paid internship companies and got paid around £14 an hour. thats around $15 USD, still lower than all those you interviewed!. And I landed an avg paying job with same pay. Goes to show Tech in UK is lacking.
As an undergraduate EE, I never had the thought of internships. I landed a tech position that was reasonable pay and a couple years later I was offered the position in the engineering department. I was patience enough to earn that position and I still get to go to school and get my BS in EE
whats ur job now and how much if you don't mind saying so online
OMG, it looks like that first internship from the second guy learned really quickly Bio-Engineering didn’t pay well and switched course quick!😂😂 I just find that hilarious!!😂😂😂
Nice to see all of you guys doing real good.
7:57 I was going to say it feels like these high wages are only in the US, then I hear CIBC and it was confirmed.
And then here in Spain, you make 1k a month for a fulltime intern - realistically less after tax.
About 5$ an hour. And that's if you're qualified and lucky to get a placement.
My first internship was unpaid but now I’m getting paid $25 /hr as an intern at a different company 😂 I hope to get as much money as this
how old are u For $25/ hrs
Sheesh! I’m a Marketing major, did 3 unpaid internships to get experience. Currently doing a paid one now for $15/hr. Doing one in the summer for my dream company and it’s ~$25/hr which sounds like nothing but trying to work my way up 😭.
are you a software developer? which programming language did you learn?
Damn Omkar with the GS TMT offer that is crazy 100k comp as an intern is mad
Some of the interns we get are honestly better than some of our mid level engineers. The level of competition is insanely high. The ones that get the offers have some of the most insane resumes I’ve ever seen. Starting companies, saving the planet, tons of awards, presidents of engineering clubs, FAANG internships their freshman year, etc. all before they are 20 years old. It’s humbling talking to them.
:)
Omg ! That’s very humbling
Where do you work?
to all of you who feels bad about these intern making a lot of money, dont. They come from Berkeley, one of the most prestigious school for comp science and there are only a number of limited spots each year. They are high flyers and even though it sucks to say this, but most of you (probably including me) won't be able to reach their potential statistically speaking. Just do your best and improve everyday.
do your best and improve every day and you should be able to get there too
@@namanhkapur this is downright copium if your parents weren't rich enough to make you a legacy and you are too stupid to get accepted / scholarship you will quite literally never make the same amount as some privileged kid who got this opportunity. you will be playing catch up and will lose at every turn.
I definitely agree with you because they graduated from one of the best university in the world. I worked at startups for 2.5 years as full stack developer and at the same time I worked at the retail store. Now, I'm making my another internship today as a blockchain developer for free. If you have at least 4 years experience, you can reach their level.
just got into coding and listening to this is pure motivation. When i finished my first apprenticeship i made 26800 Euros a year. Crazy to hear what they make over a summer or even an hour. I was at like 13.50Euros or so per hour
I got into data science from biochemistry since most of the work I was doing was analytic/quantitative but I don’t recall making 40+ an hour as an intern but ofcourse this was 2002-03
Idk why u said this there is no way you were gonna make that much back then
As a sophomore who didn’t start coding until I began college, hearing the internships these people have done makes me both hopeful and hopeless at the same time. Is it normal to feel as if you are not prepared even though you’re on the right track?
it’s 100% normal, i felt the same way - important thing is being out of your comfort zone and slowly you’ll feel both more confident and competent
This is exactly my situation, I feel the same way. I recently got some advice from a Software Engineer at RUclips who's been in the industry for 3 years now; he told me that since everyone is on a different track, instead of comparing yourself to the people around you, compare yourself to yourself yesterday. That totally changed my outlook on this kind of thing being surrounded by so many smart people who seem to all have it together.
Same here! As a CS major who knows more about programming languages than most of my classmates (even helping them with their schoolwork), I still got a much lower pay job than my classmates and even got rejected by the same company they applied for. Sometime bsing through interviews helps I guess lol. So my advice here would be, know enough technical skills to do your job and focus more on your communication and speech skills, they will get you through a lot.
I didn’t officially start coding till uni, and unis are 3 years here, landed google for second year intern and after third year full time at amazon, totally is possible to get in good companies
I don't know if I want to do web development or something in the cs field. Can I get some advice?
Been struggling to land an internship for years. I’m starting to feel like there’s no hope for me atp. Currently in my junior year in college
It takes time. It not over until you give up
As an aspiring self-taught software engineer, how does one not in school land positions like this? Or is it just out of the question?
this is y so many ppl are going into tech or finance. some of them make more in 3 months at internships than people with degrees make in a year. even the students who said they make $20 an hour are making more than interns in other degrees. for other majors there are rarely any internship opportunities and most of them don't pay at all. if other industries want new students and fresh minds in their field they are going to have to start paying more.
i suggest if anyone has the ability that they double major in their passion and in something with a large income opportunity & stable job opportunities like healthcare, finance, tech, law (if these fields arent already your passion). ive seen so many people go into other fields, get in debt for school, get paid nothing, and then hate it in the long run and end up quitting and back at square one or even worse they feel trapped and stay in that field for their whole lives. at least with the more lucrative & stable fields you could afford to pay your debts, live decently, and pursure your passion on the side until it becomes a full-time thing.
Could you tell how to get into UC Berkeley means how many internships and what else are required to get into a grad school, would be really helpful Namah✌🙂
for undergrad focus on good grades, good standardized testing scores, and extracurriculars
@@namanhkapur what about internships?
Damn. I was Mechanical engineering with 3 internship during college. My highest earning was for $23 and hour and the lowest being $30 a day (really worked for free. They essentially gave me 30 for gas and food). I’m missing out…….
computer science has always had disproportionately high compensation, but it also stagnates
@@namanhkapur When you say stagnates, do you mean by that salary cap?
@@mr_dare not a salary cap but it grows slower compared to other industries like finance
@@namanhkapur could you elaborate on what aspect of the financial?
@@IL_Bgentyl In finance, salaries rise linearly/exponentially with time. In tech, salaries rise logarithmically with time.
After applying to more than 850 internships and only getting 3-4 interviews and one offer from a shady company that I won't join. I am about to give up.
PS: I am a Masters Student at one of the best CS school in the world plus I have 3+ years of software development experience.
The last part was so funny 😂
As a computer science major Im must be doing something majorily wrong. Arent interships supposed to give little to no money? Why are they earning 2-3x more than i do with a full time job
When something is too good to be true it isn’t true 😂
This video is most likely a lie
As a mechanical engineering major, I'm really regretting not being electrical or computer science 😭
All because of the money? disgusting.
@@fistofram5526 🙃 buddy get over yourself. Money is an essential part of life. We only have a finite amount of time here on earth. Most of which will be spent working and providing for yourself and family. Anybody with common sense would rather get $90 for their limited time than $26. Grow up
@@fistofram5526 lmao yeah, who cares about money?
So alot of manager positions at Amazon which I interviewed for paid under $100k w/ 10+ years of experience. My 15+ of my software experience paid around b/w $100k - $150k. I worked at NVIDIA but never saw any internships or recent hired college grads.
Seems like all these peeps are computer folks but I’m looking at like intern pay because I’m currently evaluating an offer from Collins Aerospace (Raytheon subsidiary).
I study business and I’m about to be finished with my sophomore year (the offer is for my sophomore summer) and it’s as a continuous improvement co-op (operations intern basically).
The offer was for 26.80/hr, full time, for 7 months (May-Dec 2023).
Edit: I think it’s interesting that Raytheon typically pays less compared to others
