Non competes are illegal in most states

I've been thinking about updating my resume for tech roles. I came across Resubot, and it seems like a good way to make sure it’s optimized for ATS.

The comparison between salaries in tech and traditional careers is eye-opening. Makes me want to explore options beyond what I thought was possible.

For anyone looking to break into tech, I recently heard about ResuBot. It's supposed to make creating a resume easier and more effective.

I had no idea there were so many high-paying tech jobs that didn't require coding skills. Definitely something to consider for my career path.

This video is super informative. It's interesting to see how tech jobs stack up against other industries like consulting and banking.

Great info! Do you have checklists for core steps? I only have 3 lists, pre interview, post ingterview, negotiation. But I feel it is very dated, no 30-60-90, no title and level check.

So I applied for a job and I asked for 260k TC. When I got the job offer, it was 259k TC, but it contained a non-compete for 18 months if I were to leave. I also misjudged the cost of living for my new city, average rent is 2000 per month but when I started looking for apartments I was making too much money for most places and the cheapest I could find for my pay was 3000 per month. I will be explaining myself and asking for more, but I would like to know how much is too much. I want to ask for 310k TC. 20K for the miscalculated cost of living and 30k for future opportunity costs since I will not be able to job hop to increase my pay as freely as I could before. Is this too much? How should I go about starting this conversation?

Great tips! Furthermore, be careful when they’re bumping your initial level up (e.g. junior to senior level) to meet your salary ask during an interview. Salaries are usually a range, and they might be “increasing” your salary to merely fit in the lower end of the range, which is NOT necessarily the best or optimal salary for you.

I went through this video, took notes, prepared to negotiate intelligently. Then I got a final offer with no room whatsoever for negotation. Zero.

Pay slips or you’re full of shit.

This is the most comprehensive and structured approach I’ve seen towards negotiating compensation. Thank you 🙏

When a company says that they “don’t negotiate”, how do you work around this? I’ve interviewed with 2 companies and both said they don’t negotiate. I used each company as a competing offer for the other (they have different ratios for salary/equity) and surprisingly the higher paying company budged by a little while the smaller company didn’t. Curious what I could’ve done to extract more money?

Thought it was just another generic tech recruitment advice video. Watched it and saw my initial thought couldn't have been farther from the truth. Great great great video, thanks a lot!!

Broo!! I just want to double what I make now lol 175k annual will be so dope. I'm used to my lifestyle and believe I could invest and live worry free at that rate...

God damn America, so much money there!

He is a doctor, He is a Teacher, He is a Plumber and now He is also an IT guy ❤❤

Very solid video Colin. I tried to access your resume templates but I'm receiving a security error. Will these be accessible elsewhere?

no fcking way a UX/UI designer makes almost as much as data scientist💀

This is a job very well done. A great video! I am so glad to have found it, and I am hoping that you will continue doing good job sharing your knowledge!

What are some examples of stress free tech jobs?

Great video and content as always, is there link to the “Magnetic Linkedin profile” that you mentioned?

Can we have a negotiation about the intro music volume?

This guy is HR worst nightmare

I watched this video out of curiosity more than need. Personally I'm highly confident in my interviewing for my niche field and I did well the last time I moved positions even though I made mistakes. This is an easy video I'll flag and share with others instead of trying to coach them how to succeed in interviews. I liked the way you laid out your approach and the pieces at play. Something a lot of people I've talked to struggle with likeability and helping them understand how to politely guide the conversation in terms of salary expectations or starting a negotiation once an offer is provided.

Bro looking like he's AI generated, the edits. Anywho thanks for this video very informative 👌🏾

Thanks for the vid! Lots of good insights. I find it awkward to ask to meet with the HM or even 2nd level to pitch my value/impact just to ask them for more money. Can an email suffice? Better yet, can I just write up those points to the recruiter to take to the HM or are recruiters not trustable?

Hire me for 2 million and I will save your company multi millions by never hiring anyone for anything close to that number.

20:31 that's silly money for an entry level engineer! These big tech companies are ridic, most in the UK are nowhere near that entry level number, even for experienced engineers.

This seems to mostly apply for higher level positions. For med / senior developers, not stating salary expectation could result in a lot of wasted time

Here are the key pieces of advice from the video : Negotiate Early: Salary negotiation should start before the interview process. Research and prepare so you can anchor your expectations. Use mock negotiations to practice. Leverage: Always have an alternative to avoid appearing desperate. Leverage psychological expectations to raise your perceived value. Do Not Discuss Salary Early: Avoid giving your salary expectations early in the process. Let the company reveal their range first to gain the upper hand. Build Relationships: Cultivate rapport with recruiters, hiring managers, and executives. Their advocacy is crucial for internal negotiations. Understand Company Compensation Philosophy: Different companies value roles differently. Use market data and competitor comparisons to justify your value. Get Everything in Writing: Always confirm details in writing to avoid miscommunication or changes later on. Counter Strategically: Start with your best offer, then negotiate upwards by comparing offers. Stay winnable and avoid ultimatums. Focus on Total Compensation: Look beyond base salary. Include equity, bonuses, benefits, and lifestyle factors when evaluating offers. Negotiate for Long-Term Growth: Consider how the role will set you up for future promotions and career growth, not just the immediate benefits.

hi Sir

What do you do if the salary band that they mention is much lower than your walk away or target number? Do you still proceed in the hopes they can make it? How much below your target is okay to still move forward in the hopes that you can negotiate upto your target?

Literally nobody needs that amout of money. Lets take 1.5 million off this guys salary to pay some teachers and nurses who actually contribute to society better

Wow this was some amazing information! Thank you

I would be interested in your opinion on the field of computer linguistics, as I've been looking into fields to pick from for university and i am not too sure yet how much the demand for that could be in the future as well as how much compensation would be realistic for it.

Will negotiation in tech be crushed by the introduction of AI?

The point about skip prep is a good one that a lot of videos on this topic don't cover. In some cases making a small concession on salary can be worth it for a role that can get you where you need to be later.
