    A while ago I was heading up the elevator for an interview with a hiring manager and was asked how much I was asking for. I hadn’t considered it, I told him $200k, he told me to ask for at least $350k. I didn’t get the job because not only did I not understand the salary range, but I also didn’t know that 10 people would be interviewing me. Preparation is key.

    This was extremely detailed and helpful, can you do a video/write up on what different people in tech do:
    - Engineering Managers
    - Tech Leads
    - Product Managers
    - Senior SWE
    - Staff Engineer
    (obviously every company is different and might have overlap in these roles, but I assume in big companies its pretty standard)
    essentially what do they do day to day, if the company is making a "todo app", what would these people be doing from Mon-Fri
    Edit: it doesn't have to be a todo app, as this might limit talking points, maybe something like the youtube app might be better

    Here's how I do it:
    - find out if the required stack suits me
    - find out what they are actually building (what they want to hire me for)
    - find out how many steps the interview process has. If it has a maximum of 3 then it's alright else I try to get it down or I walk away.
    If the above steps are alright then I'll give them my hourly rate which is calculated based on discussions with other devs who have around my exp and based on multiple interviews where I try to push various rates and see where I get resistance
    The idea is that I never go into an interview without stating exactly how much I want. I don't have time to waste.

    I feel this vid is only valid for senior software engineers who have the privilege and experience to remain in high demand.
    Entry levels like myself have a hard time even landing an interview... let alone a job offer.
    I'm at the point where I'll take any salary as long as it's over $20/hour...

    • @CodyEngelCodes
      @CodyEngelCodes  Před 2 lety

      This video is really relevant to folks that are able to get job offers. It can certainly be difficult for entry level engineers but I also wouldn't say this only applies to senior engineers, mid-level engineers can apply the same tactics.

      What's you location and experience?
      I am paying $60/hour to contractors out of Lithuania (and they are top shelf) because I can't hire locally (California) at that rate anymore.

      @leoncampa Před 2 lety +2

      @@subhobroto I’m in Vancouver, Canada.
      As I said, I consider myself to be an entry-level fresh grad.
      Got a bit of experience with everything ranging from mobile to web development both front and back end, but mostly on school projects (although I am now working on some personal ones as well).
      From my experience, it has become near impossible to land even an interview as there are so many fresh grads coming out the assembly lines of universities and colleges nowadays.
      I get that seniors and mid levels may remain in high demand, but those looking to get their foot in the door are finding it harder than ever.
      (Ps: I would easily work for half that rate you are paying your Lithuanian contractors, especially given my lack of real world experience.)

    Hey there Cody current Information systems student here and was wondering if you could do a video on career paths for information systems and the salary expectations for those possible careers. Also was wondering can information systems lead to a career as a software engineer?

    • @CodyEngelCodes
      @CodyEngelCodes  Před 2 lety +1

      I don't know if I'll get around to doing a video on Information Systems, but you can pivot to being a software engineer, the main thing is to have a strong work ethic so your employer will take the gamble on having you move over to an entry level SWE position.

    Great video Cody! Just curious on your thought about blue light glasses. I'm not sure if your glasses contain them or not but I've gotten blue light glasses a couple of days ago and haven't really noticed a difference. Any thoughts on this?

    • @CodyEngelCodes
      @CodyEngelCodes  Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah, I always get the blue light filter on my prescription glasses but for the most part it's because it's between $0-$30 to add. I think I've noticed a difference but really it's hard to say, I tend to get fewer headaches though so I think they are working.

    • @factionfx
      @factionfx Před 2 lety

      Not cody, but I have a pair of prescription blue light glasses and I think they help a lot with fatigue. I bought them at sams club (custom for my prescription) and the blue lens is an optional coating...very inexpensive like $30-50.

    Good and helpful video! Let me ask: how to negotiate with a large firm like AWS that has a standard base, but can also include initial bonus and RSU in the total package? Thanks!

    • @CodyEngelCodes
      @CodyEngelCodes  Před 2 lety +2

      Yeah you can ask for more RSUs or a larger signing bonus. You could even ask for a higher base salary or see if there's anything they could do to get creative with taking extra time off.

    do you know about the swe life at trade companies? jane street, two sigma, etc?

    • @CodyEngelCodes
      @CodyEngelCodes  Před 2 lety

      I would expect working over 40 hours per week but that's probably not a big deal since you can make around $1 million per year (all cash).

      Cody Engel maybe a future video idea could be talking ab trade companies and comparing them to the tech field?
