I don't need to double or triple or 10x my money; I just need a smart investment strategy and the intelligence to get away from all the people who would make me feel guilty for retiring with "only" $10 million. I could make the funds last until I die and would get out of the horrible job I'm in - which would make my life 10x better instead. Could these folks say the same?

California is expensive

I have tremendous respect for everyone being good at a very niche thing. You are very good at making these kind of videos.

I was born and raised in San Jose around all the tech companies and had a father who worked in software development (pre-google era). We definitely weren't rich, but very comfortable. I knew people who worked for Apple, Roku, Google, and Adobe over the years and they all lived comfortably in either modest houses or rented townhouses. Other people I knew who worked as general contractors lived similar lifestyles. Tech was a middle class career when I lived there (moved several years ago). The only people in the area who really 'made it' had been there for decades with property which had appreciated in value who then sold and moved to a cheaper place.

As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take risk. 3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.

Hey great video. Just one thing I'm not sure I agree with. At the end you said the employees' best bet to keep their wealth is to hold on to their nvidia stock but this seems like it wouldn't be the case. Keeping everything in one stock is notoriously risky as their is no guarantee nvidia stock won't lose its value in the future. Seems the much safer thing for them to do to retain all that wealth would be to exchange nvidia stock for index funds as it greatly reduces the risk. At that level of wealth they could probably invest in private equity or VC funds if they want to further diversify. Just seems like keeping all their wealth in one single stock likely wouldn't be the best way to keep it. But I did really enjoy the video (and the videos you make in general).

Depending on location you can pretty easily make $75-100k as an electrician or plumber after you are a journeyman. And with no student loan debt. Engineering takes debt but will get paid off quickly if you aren’t a buffoon with your $150k a year salary.

"Look for the positions that are hiring and pursue those degrees" Degrees take 4 years. By that time, the positions will be filled or the company will have given up.

Assuming they held onto their stock. Most people don’t hold onto a single company for very long. They’ll sell as soon as it becomes a big percentage of their portfolio or sell as soon as it drops, as they can’t psychologically handle the volatility of owning a single company nor can they handle anything greater than $100k riding on the success or failure of a single company. Btw Nvidia had several near-death experiences during its lifetime. If you were given $200k worth of stock of a 5-10 billion dollar company, that came close to death on 3 separate occasions, would you honestly hold onto it in hopes that it’ll become a 2 trillion dollar company? Hence why people rarely beat the market. As for RSUs, from my experience the vast majority of engineers or professionals typically sell and diversify as soon as they get their RSUs.

Exactly - it’s foolish to have all your retirement in a single stock, especially if you already depend on that company for a salary.

Nvidia didn't pay that much relative to other tech companies, and hardware/firmware eng are making less than software eng on average, and they are located primarily in California. I would be surprised if most people retained half of their original grants. They are likely kicking themselves today.

Thats crazy that you can be a millionaire in San Francisco and still not have enough money to retire comfortably. If that isnt a sign of how bad the cost of living has gotten in California, I don't know what is

"I bet there's a lot of Nvidia engineers who sold more stock than they needed to for one reason or another, and they probably get made fun of by their friends for throwing away a $20M opportunity." Absolutely not. The reason is diversification, and you get made fun of for /not/ selling your stock as you get it. You already have the vast majority of your income tied to one company, and you get more RSUs granted each year if your performance is adequate. Prior to, and even during the run up, cost averaging your selling is the smart move. This is true for all the major tech companies. Your understanding of RSUs and how employees make use of them is deeply flawed. Your math at the beginning is also rife with incorrect assumptions. Source: I have 14 years experience at these tech companies and have been getting RSUs my whole career from FANG+ companies.

This time period was short around 6 years when now Microsoft barely creates anything meaningful. I was making a good amount of money in stock alone I had 2million, and I was still 35. Many other engineers were in the same position, so while Microsoft was buying up startups, we thought about going to management to pitch an idea and create a start-up but within the company itself. They agreed and we became intrepreneurs. From then on a lot of other senior engineers were starting internal startups, we had the team and mobility of a startup but with the backing of a big company. We made a lot of progress, though it didn't last and the company cut all our budgets since they rather just buy already made startups. A lot of us left the company and continue on our own, but it was hard to get financing since a lot of what we did was in the research phase still.

You can still buy huge houses in central Texas for 3-600k

The feeling of wealth is not truly based on your real buying power, but your buying power relative to the community you identify with. Hence why a US Dollar millionaire in Bali or Chiang Mai feels way richer than one in SF or NYC. We feel poorer nowadays partially because social media has made the "community" we're keeping track of beyond that which were physically in, so we're comparing our economic success against the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos instead of capping our expectations at the family with the "big house" in our neighborhood.

To answer the question in the title, make the threshold for entry level positions lower. Lots of people have the skills but don't have a 4 year degree and they don't get considered for entry level positions.

Nvidia is a great company with a great CEO, but the stock is going to come crashing down at some point in the future after people figure out how to make AI chips cheaper and cheaper or a better technology comes along. Depending on how the stock compensation plan is set up, employees may not be able to sell their shares unless they quit the company. If you stay at Nvidia and watch the stock lose 75% of its value, you end up being a middle class engineer living in an expensive area with an average-sized house thats vastly over priced and in an over-staxed state. The only way you could retire comfortably would be to sell your house and go to a less expensive area, but you will be doing it with Nvidia stock being worth a lot less. In life you need to do things while you can rather than when you have to. I say retire now and move to a lower cost location and wait until NVDA stock peaks before you sell it. Then start your own company, go skiiing every day, or do whatever you want just like I'm doing now as I sit here and write this comment. The total number of times I regretted quiting my job is zero.

They should cash in right now (or at least risk manage by cashing in part of their stocks) and continue working there or somewhere else if they wish. I’d sell the majority of my shares, pay my taxes, put a portion into safer income generating assets such as treasuries and real estate, and go into semi retirement because I know I can’t fully stop working if I’m still physically able. Then once the market crashes, I’ll DCA my cash portion and buy up a bunch of properties for cheap. Then my family will be set for generations.

I'm curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments, I earn around $120K per year but nothing to show for it yet.>

You should contribute to your retirement diligently, or better still look into financial planning don't come to youtube for advise, consult a Local or trusted online broker/ planner

This is huge! would love to grow my reserve regardless of the economy situation, my 407k has lost everything accrued since early 2019, at this point, i'm in need of guidance, can you point me?

If there are employees staying in the company for anlong time it means the company is treating them well in any means or metrics

10million doesnt get you far in SF.

Maybe if the 10 million is in cold hard cash that depreciates every year, then it probably won't But a 10 million nest egg that compounds 10% every year? It should last generations.

Honestly I'm so scared of the stock market crashing

Employees rarely keep a lot of equity in the company they're working. If they did and something happened to the company they would both lose the job and their equity

Most would get bored and keep working or start new businesses

money is not everything I really like coding and creating stuff and if I was a hardware guys I guess I would love designing and shaping and solving problem as well.

Can confirm, my net is 0.1% for my age and I'm still working because I like to contribute

The key to wealth, is being satisfied with what you already have. If you want to double your perceived worth, simply half your personal financial expectations. Love what you do. Enjoy your time here. One day it will all be over.

who not hedge their NVDA stock by selling half and bying the S&P 500 that way their are covered if it tanks for some reason in the future?

Quite simple, the layoff culture was the doing of CEOs and Wallstreet in their greed. Exarcebated shortages will be the response after properly good engineers are rich enough to retire. They will demand higher salaries, coast more and viola the layoffs will have backfired. Treat people humanely and you win their loyalty. Companies forgot the value of this. I would stick to a company that compensates me fairly even when I dont need to. The PSEs, pips and all these BS will come to backfire very soon.

they are sticking around to get richer.. "its just the beginning" is whats keeping them working..

"you're not rich in silicon Valley" doesn't really make much sense in retirement terms. If you're not working nothing is tying you to that cost of living.

Believe me, there is much more fun in life than writing a code. Especially now, when the world needs some impact from adequate people to not go south in upcoming years.

For a channel that prizes itself on giving "logical" answers the title was standard click-bait.

Typically support staff are contractors.

If I had 10M,I would retire to do what I love. As an engineer works in semiconductor Fab, 10M net worth is very difficult compared to software engineers and the life is harder (24x7 on call usually, working in production has very high pressure). We don’t have such high compensation as software engineers since our profit margin is much lower than software (The overhead is very high. It costs billions to build a fab). Most Fab jobs suck. I regret to choose this career. I hope my portfolio will grow to 10M+ in 10 years, retire and do what I love.

Yeah it's just an unfortunate aspect of how our society works. The people at the lower levels of abstraction, manufacturers and hardware designers, work the hardest in terms of effort and designing. People at the higher levels of abstraction, like corporate executives, product managers, and even software engineers, get by far the highest pay while doing much easier work. I could have been a "real" engineer, doing design work that is directly linked to physics. But instead I went into software engineering because it's easier, pays better, and has much more flexibility in terms of job opportunities. And it looks like that aspect of society isn't changing anytime soon. I hope you get to retire in your timeframe.

As of right now, NVIDIA has job openings in over 20 countries, including roughly 250 combined job openings in India and Israel alone. There's also, of course, the Taiwan facilities. With this said, there should be plenty of opportunities to work for NVIDIA somewhere else outside of Silicon Valley and the rat race that is living in California. Personally, I wouldn't be a fan of living in a state of 35+ million people when there's a water crisis there to begin with.

90%+ of these guys with tens of millions will have all that money blown by the third generation. That's the stat on these things.

People need to stop thinking about the money and what was already pressure for the worker to begin with. We are all not treated equally as is so making spaces for people to feel equal is the utmost important and not bringing them down because of their profits. People need to start seeing themselves in the exact situation and not “I can do anything better than the next person.” We have to strategize how to care for ourselves and others the similar to how our families have treated us and if not all were fortunate to have those moments earlier in their lives, now is the time to show that they are to see that the world can actually be way more better than this.

Nah they are ridiculously rich and even with the taxes there are ways for them to make passive income on the side to add into that and those can be structured through offshote businesses and foreign trusts so they actually gain more. Don't be fooled, they can do quite a bit on their salary and then some. Take a look at even a 'lowly' position for a start-up in Silicon Valley and they on average pay more than you would ever be seen locally for a remote position to start off.

Damn I’m so broke

I always thought that the only reason you would ever want to earn “proper” money was to be able to say “f*** you!” at your boss’ face. Apparently, it’s not at all about how much money you earn.

$5 is the low end of fuel here btw. We are currently at an average of $5.50

I am worth more than what you stated and I feel poor still. I made most of my money selling my RSUS and buying options. I feel I need 250 million + to feel wealthy. I dont want to move to a lower cost of living area because I am Asian and the middle of nowhere USA is hella racist.

The ultimate Silicon Valley problem: too much money, not enough meaning.

Damn, I passed on Nvidia for Apple when I left Intel.

Depending how n your lifestyle, you can’t retire on 10 mil. It’s too little.

Nvdia deserves our respect because hardware RND is pain in the ass.

Trust that the system would NEVER allow that. Not to mention, if they are like most people, the more they earn, the more they are likely to spend. 😳

early mate!

Thanks for being early man!

You know, in the end your work is just a work, until you have your own business. If you didn't convert your opportunities into dids now, you may find it hard later.

😂😂 it’s how there’s people gassing it up talking about people work in multi billion dollar companies for “passion”. Let’s be honest a vast majority of people just don’t want to be out on the street and if they had a chance to do something as well paying they probably would. This applies to almost every industry. McDonald’s starts paying 100k salaries and two years down the line there’s going to be a lot of passionate burger flippers

Nvidia is suffering from success now?

Stock is never granted in 15-20 year vesting periods. It’s typically 4 years at a time. So your math is very, very off

A mass retirement of software engineers is an opportunity for me - A CS Major

Companies have dug themselves into a hole. That's what happens when you don't have owners in a company but varios funds and managers ... China and russia even EU have a much more sustainable compensation. One that actually keeps employees needing to work to survive not just greed for more

And they decided to diamond hands their stock instead of cashing out and were disciplined to continue to hold with all the ups and downs along the way… Yeah nobody did that.
