Is that movie good

its one of my favorite movies
it just shows you everything wrong with the wall street/capitalistic lifestyle
shit ton of girls, drugs, partying and crime

There's this kid I requested to connect with on linkedin that has viewed my profile like 3 days in a row but not accepted my request
Like bruh
still gazelle
yo how do u know when someone views ur profile
i think i turned that setting off
but can others see when i view them?
dark junco
If you're private you can't see others and they can't see you, and if you aren't you can see others and they can see you
still gazelle
thanks 🙂

shit ton of girls, drugs, partying and crime
Say no more, friend
still gazelle
have fun and make sure you dont have any younger siblings in your room 😉
tacit halo
they think its like 80k a year outta college
They aren’t that far off from the truth.
Remember, big tech pays much more than average software development
Average nationwide is around 70k starting
still gazelle
i meant they think its 80k max

@sonic badger send server where u got that 
still gazelle
fuck i want the pepehighaf one

tacit halo
Not everyone needs to start at 200k. There’s many paths to a lucrative career in this area. Some people may start at lower-paying companies and move around
sonic badger
dark junco
Average nationwide is around 70k starting
Yeah for a random person, but if you're in this discord and grind you will likely make much more
It's a difference in mentality
tacit halo
Yeah for a random person, but if you're in this discord and grind you will likel...
I guess leetcode practice kind of is the difference between making 60k starting at 160k starting.
Companies that offer 60k starting might not ask leetcode questions, but those that pay 3x that starting probably will
dark junco
Yea
And even then for people with better resumes they can make like 90 without leetcode
still gazelle
according to blind you need a TC of 300k by 30 or ur a failure
dapper shard
And even then for people with better resumes they can make like 90 without leetc...
you'll make this at the banks and you don't have to be great at leetcode
tacit halo
Location also matters a lot
Like I feel in the Bay Area even a swe at a non leetcode company still has a decent chance of making 6 figures starting
But that’s just cuz it’s so expensive
The same house in the Bay Area could easily be 10x more than if it was in Texas
dapper shard
you're completely right yeah
but like for instance jpmc pays near 90k starting in Plano. and you really don't have to be good at leetcode to get in at jpmc.
saying the obvious makes me feel smart 🙂
lmao
dapper shard
I guess leetcode practice kind of is the difference between making 60k starting ...
this is true though. grinding leetcode really is the difference between 60k and 100k+ right out of college
and being in servers like this
tacit halo
Jpmc pays interns quite well tho (on par with faang). So does capital one
loud raft
ummmmmm guys does Datadog call to reject?
tacit halo
Why do banks pay interns so well then?
dapper shard
where 100k+ honestly is kind of the norm/expected in this server
big banks can afford to
tacit halo
Like why does jpmc pay interns pretty much the same as ft?
Why isn’t ft significantly higher than intern?
marsh meadow
banks get ppl in with high new grad salaries then they stagnate pay for more senior roles compared to other places
dapper shard
swe at jpmc don't really do the most innovative things imagine
marsh meadow
swe at google move buttons nothing to do with innovation
tacit halo
So is the intern pay bait to attract ppl to stay full time then?
dapper shard
why pay top dollar for an engineer that would work at faang or unicorn when you could pay less and get someone just as capable
ivory vessel
Anyone else get the STEP interview invite?
narrow patrol
So is the intern pay bait to attract ppl to stay full time then?
also bait to improve their reputation
marsh meadow
if they don't pay top dollar for intern they lose interns to places that offee more cash
they want to be at least competitive for that talent
still gazelle
im better at leetcode than i am at being a dev 😦
ivory vessel
Yikes
marsh meadow
i rejected some banks n they asked me if the compensation for intern was enough particularly
interns are cheap
ft is 4ever
narrow patrol
i rejected some banks n they asked me if the compensation for intern was enough ...
haha say no
😂
marsh meadow
no if you're a recruiter and treat me with Respect ill help u out too as a human
narrow patrol
ah fair enough
marsh meadow
my c1 n chase recruiter was really sweet
dapper shard
Like 150k instead of 90k?
COL in plano don't need 150k starting tbh
90k goes very far in dallas
narrow patrol
..
dapper shard
after you leave SEP/rotational program though you could potentially go up to 100k+ if you do well there
still gazelle
i think i was looking at this CoL vs average comp chart
and austin was #1
seattle #3
tacit halo
How much would an apartment in Austin be?
still gazelle
how good of one
dapper shard
^
still gazelle
and it depends where in austin
tacit halo
Just a liveable one in a central location for one person
still gazelle
u can live in pflugerville and get a 3k sq ft house for 285k
tacit halo
Like a typical new grad apartment
still gazelle
should be about 1100 for a central area but its not that good
dapper shard
^
tacit halo
Like in SF it seems that even a studio apartment near all the tech companies could easily be 4K
still gazelle
studio apartment in sf is like 3000 right?
tacit halo
Yeah
dapper shard
nowhere near that in texas
tacit halo
1100 could easily mean sharing a room here
still gazelle
and theres high ass incone tax is cali
i think like 200k in cali is like 120k in austin?
dapper shard
texas 1100 you go solo apartment in nice areas. at least in DFW
dapper shard
lol
tacit halo
i think like 200k in cali is like 120k in austin?
Honestly 200k in the Bay Area is probably far less than 120k in Austin
pale coyote
Google Austin office 😩
narrow patrol
Honestly 200k in the Bay Area is probably far less than 120k in Austin
hmmm
idk why everyone spreads this tbh
is this actually true..
still gazelle
yes
tacit halo
In Austin 100k is 77k after taxes
still gazelle
my moms house would be like 9x more expensive in cali
narrow patrol
In Austin 100k is 77k after taxes
what about 180K after tax in bay
tacit halo
what about 180K after tax in bay
120k single
still gazelle
yes
dapper shard
yes it slowly getting more expensive
narrow patrol
hmm well
still gazelle
but its not that expensive yet
dapper shard
more companies moving there
tacit halo
Yeah I’m Austin you can probably get a nice family home for like 250k. In California it could easily be over 2m
tacit halo
120k post tax is still more than 77k post tax
Yeah
narrow patrol
like even with col difference
tacit halo
83k after tax
still gazelle
ill take a 135k job in austin any day over 200k job in palo alto or smth
only problem is that the prestiege
narrow patrol
hmm
dapper shard
eh who cares about prestige tho
still gazelle
go to cali and thats not hard
narrow patrol
when yall say 200k im assuming u mean 1st year?
cause i dont count first year tc
only recurring
or average first 4 years
narrow patrol
hmm
dapper shard
150k recurring. yeah unicorns or FB new grad is for you then 🙂
still gazelle
well im just rounding up
narrow patrol
u p much need 175k recurring and a 100k signing
still gazelle
by 200k i mean like 180k tbh
dapper shard
FB new grad rockstar offers barely get close to that
still gazelle
or 190k
dapper shard
to 200k
narrow patrol
150k recurring. yeah unicorns or FB new grad is for you then 🙂
i dont know if i can make it lol
still gazelle
lets clarify it to 180k
narrow patrol
^first 4, recurring, or first yr?
dapper shard
thats what makes me fine with something that is not 100k base salary now. if i do well with stocks and shit i can still profit 100k+ by the year
narrow patrol
those are completely different haha
still gazelle
first 4
still gazelle
yup
dapper shard
true
dapper shard
im tryna chill and make stacks outta college. no more grinding
pale coyote
I mean austin has pretty good tech scene
pale coyote
it's not like you're going to be missing out
narrow patrol
hmm
i just want to save
as much as possible
and enjoy my life
not necessarily all grind
but ill work like 50 hrs
at the most
still gazelle
the only problem is that in austin it looks like theres a salary cap
apple 22 yrs of experience is 226k
dapper shard
apple is in austin?
still gazelle
yea
dapper shard
i thought they were only in cali lmao
still gazelle
but yeah, seattle seems to be the perfect baalnce between cali and austin
still gazelle
still gazelle
345k in austin is an insane amount of money
narrow patrol
yea ngl i want like twitter/coinbase/reddit or one of those remote companies new grad
they r all competitive tho
WTF 495k with 7 YOE in austin...
still gazelle
this guy is big balling bro
patent sluice
the most important part of bein rich is knowing how to properly invest
narrow patrol
i think maybe 600k
still gazelle
a good 2-3k sq foot house decently close to the capital is 500-600k
still gazelle
while an average 2k sqft one a bit farther out is 300k
narrow patrol
for a nice area
dapper shard
600k house in austin is almost a mansion no?
narrow patrol
i was looking and it seems expensive
patent sluice
a good 2-3k sq foot house decently close to the capital is 500-600k

dark junco
Chicago just worst nyc (although cheaper)
still gazelle
its great 5hadow
brave spindle
That’s why I’m looking for companies with Austin offices
spice mango
Chicago isn't as good as NYC
dapper shard
isnt DFW area bigger than Austin?
dapper shard
im tryna live in a huge city that is still growing tbh
still gazelle
austin is a medium sized city with growing pains
dapper shard
almost leaning DFW more than Austin. but i consistently here that Austin is better
brave spindle
I would stay in DFW if I didn’t grow up here my whole life
still gazelle
i cant stand the heat so im moving somewhere cold lol
dapper shard
okay well anywhere is better than arkansas for me
brave spindle
But Austin has a nice tech/entrepreneurial scene
dapper shard
why aren't more tech companies going to DFW?
pale coyote
chicago might not be as culturally rich as nyc but its way cleaner

It’s first flight right?
dapper shard

Only for summer unfortunately 🥲
dapper shard
apparently you can move the start date of your internship though
to the start of august
someone told me
finite snow
I think u can still squeeze 10 weeks in anytime in the summer rlly
dapper shard
plan is to move start date to august if i somehow end up getting twitter so that way i don't have to renege jpmc
worst case i renege jpmc though
finite snow
August might be pushing it hahaha
I feel like I was told between two early dates and they were like a week a part
