Great insights. I'm curious if using tools like ResuBot is really better than just formatting in Google Docs?
Thanks for sharing your template. It’s nice to see a real example that works, not just generic advice.
I’ve heard people mention Resubot for resume building but wasn't sure if it really made a difference. Any thoughts?
This is super helpful. I always struggled with my resume and getting noticed. Going to try out those tips for my next applications.
Really liked how you broke down the resume tips. It seems like a lot of people miss the psychology part when applying.
I wonder what kind of severance package he got from Meta. I'd wager it was probably pretty good, though not enough to sustain him for a year and a half on its own.
why didn't you add a summary section? and it's useful for students or not. (in this case Microsoft)
You should start planning an exit strategy on your 1st day. I moved to NJ before the 2008 crash, because NJ was #1 in average income, and 2nd in max UI benefits ($600).
It really dosent matter both pay a lot it’s just all in what you want to do and
Full video?
this salary is per month or per year?
what about using #ZYLYTY for... all of them? 😅
having great #ZYLYTY in coding will make the difference in 2025! 🏆
I mean, it's better blue collar jobs
Power to ya young man! You are an inspiration.
What about DevOps?
Any chance to check his Linkedin to prove this is real?
Is there one for AI engineers or for other tech jobs?
Half stock, half salary; pay attention
When times are good you get frustrated with recruiters trying to talk to you. When times are bad you get frustrated with recruiters avoiding you.
Experience separate from projects, got it.
Lol now it turned that it was a scam
I’ll probably end up becoming this down the line in my mom early 40s. 👨🏭
Listen I've watched many TH-cam vids on how to's...about anything really but honestly yours is amazing. The breakdown and the resources provided, the explanation and the reasons behind your particular approach. hats off my guy...here goes my susbscription
this is wild
Thalaiva neenga tamil aa?
All of those smart individuals should start their own company.
Well you don't need a CS degree to programming regardless.. :)
Based on my experience, it really doesn’t matter what your title is when you join a firm in the beginning because you’re going to end up doing both (full stack) in the end, but that’s only when you’re lucky. If not lucky, you’re gonna do everything. You could get a raise by assuming more responsibilities, but most people move to another company for bigger chunk of money.
Outliers
Have a good personality: 5:38
Awesome video. love it! You my friend deserve a new subscriber.....ME!!😊
Hi am really interested in software engineering please mentor me I need a mentor or a teacher 😢
Great story. Congratulations.
There is little to take away from this except that if you get into meta, you can get into similar companies in the mid six figures with less than 5 years of experience
Prompt engineering? 🤣😂🤪 People keeps attaching engineering to a made up work to legitimize it. Stupid AF💯👎👎👎
Which degree is the best CS in cybersecurity or BBA in cybersecurity
Definitely BBA
people just purely looking into money, regardless how shitty snap chat is, just for money huh
Yes it’s useless degree.
sometimes, you don't get to pick the job, and you can't afford to not pay rent
great story
what if you will have a law degree soon. can you start a cybersecurity company? what are the steps of that?
So can you tell us how much your total compensation was, and the exact amount that landed in your banking account every two weeks. Also can you tell use your incentive package, and who you negotiated the money and the deneiro, and the lootz? ... Can you just give us all your W2's for the past 10 years and not speak at all?
Why? Because he is not us citzen
I have 20 years of experience and this kid is making way more money than me. This is very depressing.
People 10 years younger than me are making 3 times more money than me😢
They are more skilled than you. Just like a surgeon is. If you want more money, you have to up your skills.
@@erinsylv2098 Haha. No way that's true. Some of these places only hire young people. It has nothing to do with actual skill.
I would lay him off myself lol he seems too easy to be laid off lol
Thank you
Sounds like he did all the right things in terms of education, internships, work.
i love american high shorts lol they funny af
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
You are absolutely right 💯
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Am looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you think I should do?
Cryptocurrency/stock investment, but you will need a professional guide on that.
