Talking about the 2017 job market is crazy lmao
500K was a click bait, 500K / 4 years = ~125K increase

@@RahulPandeyrkpyeah Stanford admits mid people for bs in cs ? You started your journey b4 undergrad, your parents knew that they provideed you best education right from the start . Not everyone is that fortunate bhai . I f'ed up big when I joined chemical engineering from a mid tier nit . I now regret my life 😭 I won't even be as 0.1 successful as you or even anyone, i will make shit money and everything honestly I hate my life , maybe God never gives you a second chance, and people like me won't ever ever dream of standing in the same line as you 😢

@@RahulPandeyrkp You are close if not at genius level. But that's not the point of your video. Your videos tend to resonate the need to be all rounded and good at soft skills such as negotiation etc.
Great, but the demand and supply curve has shifted from the situation. Now, you barely get such offers and opportunities and also almost 40 - 50 % people are getting jobs through referral. At-least here in India situation is like that.

I was lucky enough to hop on a call with you during my negotiation phase and use your advice in real time! Thank you so much for that Rahul! Your advice is always so on point and valuable!

congrats on joining Meta, I'm happy your negotiation was successful :)
Your channel is amazing, please keep doing content! And thanks for sharing everything you have share until now
I am not sure if the pre-covid / covid salaries are being paid by big tech nowadays , after all the layoffs

The offer specifics will evolve over time, but the negotiation principles will apply independent of the macro.
This is the way you do it. In any field, pitting offers against each other.
That's crazy, thank you for sharing your experience!
Is this helping anyone? you got offers, okay, so! call your mom and be happy!
Hey Rahul sir, I wanted to ask that the courses you have mentioned in the description on taro aap, are they free or de we have to sign up for taro premium to get those?
@RahulPandeyrkp
23 күн бұрын
all courses have several sections which are entirely free
Do you think which university you attend affects your ability to negotiate? I'm about to be a freshman at A&M engineering. Would it be worth it to transfer? Or is dependent on other factors.
How did you schedule the interviews back-to-back? The recruiter typically asks me for a set of dates/times that I am available. Do you give each recruiter times for a single date? I usually try to be flexible, but maybe that is the wrong approach and I should be specific about the exact date I want to interview.

- Start with the company that has the least flexibility first, if you know which company that is. - Start out flexible, but when the structure of your interview schedule emerges, start to communicate the narrowing set of adjacent dates. - I was pretty open about the dates I could or couldn't do, and I communicated updates to the recruiter as I got them.

@@RahulPandeyrkp Thanks for the advice, Rahul. I think this is more important than people realize. I was recently in a situation where I got an offer from company A while I was still interviewing with company B and then was stuck in team matching with company B while company A was pressuring me to sign. It worked out in the end, but it was super stressful and I did not feel like I was in the driver's seat. Taro subscriber btw
crazy ! that was rock feuling
Negotiated my current position that I got last year. Had offers from 2 other companies in similar space. Having the other offers let me comfortably negotiate my base salary and extra 30k higher. Be careful negotiating though if you don’t have a back up plan/company. If a company calls your bluff you can end up with nothing!

30k is amazing! Yes, the BATNA has to be something you would actually be ok with.
Great video. Just letting you know, switching between the lessons of the course on the taro website seems to be very slow at the time of writing this

i'd love to learn more about this -- could you share more details to team@jointaro ?
Sir why don't you suggest us to get a roadmap of getting a high package..?
hi, can you please enable PPP for people who are in developing countries? It will be really helpful for university students or who are unemployed.
i’m curious, when a company offers 300k in stocks over 4 years for example, what happens after the 4 years? if you stay at the company for 8 years, will your last 4 years total compensation be significantly less than in your first 4 years?
@AffectionateMythicalBird-ys7in

Usually the companies will offer a refresher grant of stocks. So after first couple of years you will get additional stock so total comp never goes down usually.
@RahulPandeyrkp
25 күн бұрын
It's pretty standard to give refresh grants after a few years. However, if the company stock goes up significantly in value, it's not uncommon for people to see a big drop in compensation after their initial grant runs out. If the company really values you, they will give you sizable refresh grants.
3:50 You say you understood the competitive dynamics between Snapchat and Facebook in hiring, especially for mobile developers. Could you make a video about how you learn about and stay updated on said dynamics? It could even be a broader video about how a SWE stays informed on hiring dynamics within tech. Would really appreciate hearing anything and everything you have to say on the matter! Love your work Rahul. Keep it up.

The 2017 landscape isn't going to be applicable in this tough tough environment. For most it will be immensely helpful to know what advise you have for just getting to the point of interviewing.

Though circumstances changed from 2017, the fundamentals of trying out multiple companies and negotiating better salary is still intact… Thanks for the video, Rahul.

When those negociation happened? Also those companies do not like when people are doing transparency on the salary. Plenty people were fired for that.
