      ​@@miltonhuynh4209 70% of the total compensation of tech jobs is around $100k-250k in the San Francisco Bay Area. That's like manager levels in most of the field, already quite the ceiling if not 1 or 2 levels below the top on average-size companies. However, knowing industry and scientific knowledge is one thing. Knowing how to code and have enterprise relationships with people is completely different, there's a reason why they paid that much. I don't think staring at the monitor 6-8 hours straight daily is good for health though, there's some trade-off doing anything as always.

    I miss Waterloo but can relate to what she said at 2:57. This happened all the time during undergrad and even now during full-time where friends or classmates would compare where they work (Silicon Valley/Bay Area) vs smaller startup companies based on prestige and name. Comparison is the thief of joy.

    i just graduated and your little shpeal at the end is so right. its always nice to shoot for the moon but if you don't make it you cant have the mindset of that being a failure coming out of college, it feels like your entire life being decided in those moments but just getting a job and experience that becomes a stepping stone is super important too. I didnt end up in my dream scenario but I got a full-time job in my major coming out of college, I see that as a total success since there are so many who struggle to ever do anything with their degrees

    Haha these girls at the end were bruutal. But yeah its kinda insane how much you make just for an internship in northamerica for software development.
    I'm from Europe and I barely make half of that as an software engineering intern at a major really high tech science software company.
    Another difference here in Europe or maybe Germany specifically is that they always keep like average wages a secret. Like nobody likes to talk about them so you really have to ask people around your own company what they make in order to get a good picture. So i really appreciate the video, even though I cant compare it to my situation.

    • @DerMichael
      @DerMichael Před 5 měsíci +4

      I like how they explained in detail what they did and how big the companies were. Minimum wage of $12 for web dev is comparable to Germany, albeit not for an internship perhaps. But yea, even just $30 before taxes is pretty damn well for such a young age. Obviously, these are well-educated students and the overall circumstances do factor in as well, but still, North America seems to pay pretty well compared to Europe.
