    This video truly struck a chord with me! It's not just about money; it's about empowerment and taking control of your financial future as a software engineer. The presenter's genuine passion and knowledge radiate throughout, making it an emotionally resonant experience. I couldn't help but feel inspired and motivated to take action after watching. Thank you for sharing such an impactful and heartfelt message! 💪💰🌟

    Hey Marko! Just a reminder to say thank you for being such an inspiration. I landed my first internship as a Frontend engineer, at a company in my country and as a Team Lead assistant!! Thanks for your motivation! To the entire Marko community, and to me. Keep following your dreams guys! It will definitely happen!

      @@artemfed3389 I have been working in kindergarten for almost 10 years now and want to start with something different + working with the kids for 8 hours a day, drains you mentally and when you come home you just don't have mental capacity for your own child. So kindergarten at work and at home is a tough combo. In addition when I was learning my profession I remembered one sentence well, from the literature: variations bring joy. :) Thanks man

    "How about making more money than saving" - really love this line as it is very important. I used to be highly conservative with my money, but then I realised that thinking about ways to save money took up so much of my time, which I could have invested in working on new ideas. There is always only so much you could save up, but the is no ceiling for how much you can potentially earn. Just don't spend all the money from the first big check on a Porsche 😀 Love the video!

    Great video. Agree with you on cars; expensive cars have large depreciation in the first years, expensive insurance, and a lot of worries when parking in crowded places. When you have bought a nice new car, you have to use time and money to switch to a new one after a few years to show you are keeping up with everyone. I fully agree that is better to buy smaller things or services that give you more time or are interesting to test out.

    Hey Marko, what is your next step career wise? At what point in time do you think Kahoot will have nothing left to offer you to expand your skill set? When that day comes, would you consider working for a financial institution or perhaps a different software company? What’s your “projected timeline” ie where do you see yourself in 6-12 months?
    I work at a bank and have zero coding skills, though I’m looking to learn sql and python in order to work in a team that tests code based controls. Any tips? Love the videos as always, think I’ve been watching your channel for 2+ years now.

    I totaly agree with you and your mindset. I came from game industry (curetnly I am working as an artist) worked for big company and more the company are big the more bullshit reasons I always get, such as bonuses etc , for what price - to be motivated for overtime - horaaaay :)
    It is almost two year since I work in smaller team, outsourcing environment art and it is incredible in every mean. Nice life-work balance, good compensation, spare time to go on hike, mounteneering and actually more time for husle.
    And yeah coffee outside is the best advice :D

    I genuinely love your videos. I currently try get my hands into the software development job market, but welcome to germany where paper is more worth than knowledge. After 4 Semester at university i quit i dont like it not the field, the university! So I am faced with the opportunity to do what I want, but nope! It is hard to get a job with no finished degree. I have to do my "Ausbildung" training/schooling for 3 years after that you get a paper where is written "you are now an expert in software development". This is not a sad comment where someone unknown cries about his life. Ausbildung in germany is strictly under payed you work 40h for an hourly rate of 4-5€ and after taxes there is only 600€ left. I work for 5h in a non sftware company and optemize their internal work on my weekends or in the late evenings and know have +300€ monthly! All of that only because of people like you, that inspire me. You are truely amazing and I thank you so much!

    being a developer at times could be challenging. smart arse client loves your solutions but ignores the process it took to develop one and push for a lower price. being a fullstack developer do get bullied at times and it take guts to either value yourself our being desperate for a client. we could sound arrogant but that is how we respect our 'codes'. great content .. and advise..being a developer is challenging so be mindful of the money you make today. fancy cars might not bring you new client. invest into the tools you always wanted .. that is invest in yourself. cheers

    @dhavaljprasad Před 9 měsíci

    Yes, I feel like, focusing no making more is not being focused by a lot of people. Well, it's one way or other benificial for us as well. Suppose, there are 100 prople on earth and all started making youtube videos. After the craze wave is gone, nobody will actucally make a secondary money from it. Because everyone will lie at the same bed. So yes, focusing on making more money is really important. But telling people to focus on it, won't result in our favour. Because then each of us will be at same level. Anyways, I love you videos, man. I'm very youg as compared to you, You are almost like my elder brother, giving money advice and software eng. related advice. I recently started as a frontend web developer at a startup. I'm 19 as of this August, and I really love watching your videos. I suppose I'm your subscriber when you first posted the video, the Ep1 of "A day in the life of Sowftare Engineer". And it's a huge motivation watching your vids. I would also love to see the youtube income break down. As I really have plans for it. Once I'm financially stable to invest in some necessary tools for the same. Love your vids, and more importantly i really aspire to work with you one day. Have a good day!
