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.

Hi Namanh, I found one of your KZread 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?

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

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)

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.

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.

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!

I don't know if I want to do web development or something in the cs field. Can I get some advice?

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.

Been at Amazon as a Software Engineer for over 8 years now :D Still loving it!

What do u do

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

This is some insane numbers compared to my internship. I only got paid $400 for 3 months in my poor country

Keep in mind most of these internships are likely located in Berkeley where the cost of living is $3-4k a month. So in reality these $25-50 internships are not as pleasant as they sound.

I'm interning as a front end engineer in the state owned telecoms company and getting paid 80 cents per hour, about $120 a month.

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.

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.

And I'm from greece..currently looking to start my internship in CS, and some companies dont want to hire interns, because by law they are obliged to pay 300euros every month.

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 😊
