    In Europe for context the total compensation is around 25% of this (compared to your FB compensation), the largest reason is that we typically don't have signing, relocation, or stock compensation at all. The base pay is 40-50% of your FB one. We pay less for housing and health insurance, however.

    Obviously not everyone will get hired by FB, but I wouldn’t call it one in a million, at least not in the US. If you get a CS or related degree, practice for coding interviews, and are willing to live in US tech hubs, the chance is decent. And the chances get a lot higher once you get a few years of experience elsewhere. That said, it is still hard, but there is a relatively clear path. It’s not some random lottery. The difficulty is probability similar to that of getting into a top university. It is hard, but not impossible.

Get some experience, then apply to higher paying jobs. Coding is learnable without college or a bootcamp, but you'll need determination and discipline, it will be hard no matter which route you take. Just don't let that discourage you if this is really what you want to do.

    If I had to guess, the majority of the difference is just supply and demand. Most of the world's largest tech companies are in the US. There's also more VC funding for tech companies than anywhere else. Both of these create highly capitalized companies who need to hire a ton of software engineers, thus driving prices upward. There's also some other factors at play. For example, the cost of education to actually become qualified for the job is extremely high here, driving supply down (admittedly I don't know much about the Australian university system, but it is not unusual to spend $200k+ for a bachelors degree here). There are cheaper options, but the vast majority of the highest paid software engineers have degrees from "target" schools, which tend to also be the most expensive schools. There's also differences between countries around things like the tax system, average working hours, vacation days, parental leave, healthcare, etc. that can have pretty substantial impacts on pay, but I honestly don't know enough about Australia specifically to know if that's the case here.

    It varies vastly based on where in America you live. Where I live in Seattle, you probably aren't buying a house on that salary, at least not in the first few years.The median home price here is about $800k. That said, you can obviously still live incredibly comfortably. Most of the software engineers I know in Seattle live in luxury apartments, drive nice cars, go on frequent vacations, etc. You would have to try really hard (or have some huge life expense) to not save a significant portion of that income.

    It depends on what you desire and, of course, timing. I was making 165k in 2020, but mortgage interest rates were at an all time low. I locked in a 2.5. Instead of buying something at $800k, I looked for something smaller as my first home and purchased at $600k, it’s now worth between $800k - 850k. Buying lower gave me a smaller mortgage and larger margin equity. Nearly 5 years later, putting $120k down gaining $200k in equity and another $100k in payment equity, when I sale I’m looking at making about $350-$400k. My salary has surpassed $200k/yr and I’ll have an amazing down payment. So, if I want to buy that million dollar home, I can do it. Before that, I worked my ass off for nearly a decade to afford a $120k down payment, so my net worth has increased drastically just from owning my home and working hard. So, you also have to consider how much you have for a down payment, interest rates, and timing. Now, I’m on a waiting game and I’m just waiting for dates to drop. I won’t even sell my home, I’m keeping it and using my cash to buy another while I rent my first home out. I’ll do that until I die and pass whatever i own to my son.

    Yeah pretty much every tech company has an intern program. Many of the "unicorn" companies tend to be the highest paying outside of finance, likely because they need to pay more to compete with FAANG for top talent. I worked on an internal tool/testing framework they had developed to help make things more consistent across their microservices. Not the most "glamorous" project, but it was fairly interesting technically.

    "Depending on the company" is key here. The pay is less, but when you control for companies it's not that dramatic. Facebook specifically, since that's where I worked, will pay in the range of 150k-220k for SWE 2 jobs in Europe depending on the country/role. Likewise, if you look outside of big tech companies in the US, pay is substantially lower.

    It’s not a one-size fits all answer. There’s no way anyone can really answer that but you. The commitment (time, money, etc) of a bachelors degree is far different from that of a bootcamp which is far different from that of online classes. And ultimately what is best for you just depends on your personal situation and goals. Generally speaking though, a bachelors in CS will be the easiest way to get a development job, but it will also be the most expensive and time consuming. A bootcamp will make it a lot harder to get a job, but it’ll also take a quarter of the time and money. It’s definitely less common, but I’ve met a few highly successful bootcamp grads. Just be wary that there are some very bad ones, do your research if you go that route. Bootcamps can also be limiting in terms of the job options compared to traditional degrees (i.e. the vast majority just focus on frontend, but if you’re into that then it’s obviously not an issue). Self teaching online is great if you just want to learn the skill, but honestly it’s an uphill battle. I’d only really recommend that if its more for learning than a career, if its a supplement to college/bootcamp, or if other options are financially or otherwise infeasible. It just makes getting that first job waaaay harder without the credential on the resume. That said, it can also be a great place to start before committing to a bootcamp or degree program.

    I live in Seattle. You can get rent as low as $1500 or so in a decent spot, maybe lower if you have roommates. Mine’s usually been in the $2k-$3k range though, which is probably more typical for software engineers in the city. Also during college when I was a TA my rent ranged from like $750-$1200 most of that time, because I lived in cheap university housing with roommates.

    Obviously it differs by area, but this is a much more realistic salary expectation for anyone watching. FAANG salaries are incredibly unrealistic and are super inflated due to how much money those companies can waste. Good for this guy in the video who has a FAANG job but, imo, not worth it. It’s too competitive and you are so easily replaceable. I got my CS degree last year and right now I’m at $75k in the Philly area. Same type of job (not FAANG, but still in tech) in NYC for example would probably be about $120k cause of the cost of living. Comfortable salary and zero stress, working in a company where I’m actually making a difference. So good!

    ​@@starskull8587 Personal projects are a big help. Personally, I just tried to stay relevant by keeping in touch with newer tech. Going into an internship, not much is expected experience-wise, but if you can demonstrate that you have the drive to learn new things, I'd say you have a great chance. Even on my resume, I have "Ready and willing to learn anything" because *I* think it's the most important thing. I'm looking to switch things up in a few months (move to another location and get a beefier job), and so right now I'm just working on some fun side projects that showcase my skills in the technologies I wish to work with professionally. Regarding languages, just get more and more used to the popular stuff first (js/ts or python), because those are more likely to be used. Then you can try out some of the languages rising in popularity (go, rust, etc.). But focus on one or two things at most, so you can prove that you are able to continue improve your skills in one area/ecosystem. But again, looking for an internship, it's hard to say what you might be working with. My internship was pretty basic, for a very small company, and wasn't anything too complicated. There are also internships at huge tech companies with much more wholesome and mature ecosystems. I'm kinda rambling at this point, but it's hard to give one piece of advice to get your foot through the door, cause it's different at every company. Just keep at it and always think of where you want to be and what you want to do. That way, when you begin to get tired of where you're currently at or just start to feel stagnant (my situation right now), you'll know the next step you should take. But for now, focus on proving why you'd be a good intern by proving your drive. Good luck!!

    That's impossible for me to answer. Your degree is just one of many factors that ultimately influence earning potential (i.e. it also depends on location, type of job pursued, other experience, interview skill, resume, work ethic, connections, risk tolerance, technical skills, non-technical skills, etc.). Edit: Also FWIW my degree is not in computer science, it's in informatics. I just also took a lot of CS classes and was a CS teaching assistant.
