Hey, I finally got to deliver on a highly requested video! The timing isn't the best with record-high unemployment due to COVID and of course recent discussions about police brutality. But hoping this video will be useful to anyone looking for a job right now and in the future :) All ad revenue from this video will be donated to organizations dedicated to criminal justice reform, bailing out protestors, and fighting racism. Rest in power Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery.
Unemployment has little to do with COVID. The capitalist system always had expansion and contraction cycles. Moreover the whole system has a structural problem since the 70's and the contractions are getting worse.
@@antoniadedeus6293 Well Covid has kicked off a short-time contraction period but it would of happened anyway and yes the frequency of the recessions are getting scarily high
@@grapefives7762 yes, COVID feeds and is fed by the economic crisis dialectically. The determinant factor however is the economic system. There were several nasty viruses before but none of them had ever become a global sanitary problem because the economy was not in such a bad shape so it could mobilize resources to deal with it effectively.
I recently had a job offer sent to me (after 4 months since the interview with no follow up email after the interview) and when I asked for more money, they resented their offer. This job wasn't in the tech field. In the interview they told me what the high end of the salary would be and I remember that number and when I asked for the high end of the salary they resented their offer. LOL.
Love this!! As a recruiter, just want to highlight that is is illegal for recruiters to ask you what you currently make (i.e. what is your current salary?). However it is not illegal for recruiters to ask the following that imply your current salary: what are your salary expectations? What are you hoping to make in your next role? I really appreciated how you deflected the question while also speaking about your excitement for the role!

As a Network Security Engineer & manager, I've done a lot of hiring in my time and you are spot on with this video. Funny thing is that when I attempt to coach my daughter on the art of negotiating a salary, she seems to think I'm a dinosaur in this area. I'm going to share this valuable video and your channel with her. Keep up the great work!
No she doesn't think you are a dinasaur. Your daughter is an inteligente women, she is a programmer after all and your expansive experience. My guess there is an underlining lack of desire for huge salaries. Maybe she cares more about the skill development or something like that.
I just took a job without negotiating and it hurt me a lot. I normally do but at the moment this economy is crazy and I had some issues with conflict of interest. Please do negotiate though. Especially women. One reason that is well documented that women make less is that they do not negotiate when they start. Get more everyone.
I loved this video! Recently I switched jobs and I forced myself to negotiate even though it was so uncomfortable, ended up increasing my salary and getting a sign on bonus. Watching this, I see things I could have done better and it will definitely be helpful in future. Thanks for this.
@@snicole3610 I was initially planning to make a video to talk about it on my channel, wasn't going to after I saw this but if that will be helpful to anyone, I would find time to make a video to share my experience on my channel.
i recently read a book that covered the life long hurt of getting your first job in a recession and the like. showcasing that if you start out on a lower salary it will statistically hurt you your entire career. very interesting read that one. also, all you people looking for a job, know your own worth and don't settle for anything less. as someone who has hired a decent amount of people myself, i most definitely value that sort of attitude and frame of mind from a prospective employee, from a character perspective as well.
I’m a software engineer also and can say that this provided a lot of great information about the process. Most important is that the negotiation started well before the offer being extended. The example dialog made it even better.
Do not negotiate salary offers during your 1st interview!!! This is trick every company uses to eliminate applicants. Just dodge the question and tell them u'll communicate after a month or so. Remember the salary is stated in the job application and that's why u applied.
I love your tact and intelligence. As a female software engineering, this is very encouraging to hear how negotiating done. I find you very inspirational!
Don't accept Hooli's offer I have heard terrible things about their CEO! 😂 Loved the video I will be graduating from my bootcamp in a few weeks and this is very helpful ❤
You've inspired me to start my own channel and tell my story, I believe we can inspire black viewers to get to where we are. Hopefully, we can collab in the future!
I really loved that you gave real life scenarios, and realistic tips on negotiating! Thank you for being a great help for all of us who are entering the tech world!
Wow this was SO GOOD! I wish I had this video when I first started working a couple years ago. It will be really useful going forward. Thank you! I really appreciate how authentic the awkward moments over the phone are when it comes to salary talks. HR/recruiters are SO PRESSURING!
Hey even though I'm not from the tech industry I just wanted to let you know that your video was very useful. I'll get to use your advice once I graduate from my EE degree. Thanks !
Thank you for quality content! I'm more on IT/DevOps side of things for around 10 years. Anyway, it's close enough. You can expect salary question during the initial screening 9 out of 10 interviews. In 7 out of 10 cases they won't proceed if you don't give a number. This is something to be ready for. I also prefer to speak money during or after technical part, but it's uncommon. Another thing to consider doing: if you have a lot of ongoing interviews and put slightly different numbers (depending on location, company etc) - you need to keep notes, since the question usually comes up at every stage and you have to be consistent. It's also good to put other notes like impression, perks besides the salary, follow-up questions and time etc.
Thank you for this video, I've been crawling the walls waiting for a dream offer to come through, I was nervous to negotiate it, but I absolutely will after seeing this video, it gave me some ideas on what to ask for my future wellbeing too (the position would start as remote work but then has the potential to move to a much more expensive area, meaning my pay would go from awesome to terrible). Great information!
Thanks for this video! I am interviewing for jobs and this video provided great resources (websites for salary ranges) & real-world negotiating tactics.
Hi, great video! Important information for people starting out in their careers. I had no idea that it was common and normal to negotiate when I joined the workforce a few years ago. Thanks for sharing! (I do want to point out one thing: your video shows the H1b salary website as h1b.com but I think it may actually be h1bdata.info)
This is great! Thank you so much. I’ll be graduating my bootcamp in August and I’m building my way up to the interview stage. Any advice on projects to showcase skills in our portfolios, or technical interview tips? Im ready to show these recruiters I’m desirable 💅🏾😂
I'm stuck in your channel for a whole week right now lol Really valuable information, and you're such a nice person to watch and get advice from. Keep doing such a great job!
I've been watching your videos for a while and I'm so grateful to you for sharing your knowledge. I'm so happy to see how much you have improved! The editing is top notch. Love from Cameroon💓
I've never been this early, seriously! Thank you so much for your videos. Even though I'm not in that field, I find your content very interesting and inspiring. Have a great weekend everyone!:)
Thank you! I am a recent college graduate and will be looking forward to using this to help me negotiate future salaries. My degree is in Civil Engineering, so it is in the same industry as you (sort of).
Really great vid loved the example you gave. A link to your video about how to evaluate a tech offer could be great for when you have to negotiate with a competing salary. I think companies sometimes also count their RSU in the offer number which makes it sound higher than it actually is, so maybe 🤔 a video on things like that would be good. The audio could use some work, but some of your other videos sound better so I’m assuming you’ve already made this a priority.
Great content! I learned about RC from your previous videos and am now in the summer batch :)) we have so much in common (a first-gen immigrant myself + I actually did go through law school + now hoping to transition into tech). Thank you so much for your videos, I've enjoyed all of them!
i loved this! will definitely use for my next job negotiation! I easily got played for my current salary but knowledge is key and you helped to provide that!!
Great video! Thanks so much for using real life example conversations. Wish I saw this when I got my first job. Unfortunately I had been looking for over a year and a half and was so desperate I did a few things wrong. But by the grace of God (and with the help of a third party recruiter), I actually got an offer *higher* than the number I gave the recruiter!
Hahaha. The way you mimicked the recruiter yimu-ing her mouth when you said you can’t still sign right sway even if they matched the competing offer’s amount, was the funniest part. “She” was just confused.
Hey girl!! Thank you so much for putting in examples of how the conversation would actually look like. It definitely helped paint the picture. I'm still so anxious about negotiating a salary but I feel like this video helped me to practice the conversation beforehand rather than asking nervously on the spot
The Spongebob cutaway at 10:04 took me out lmao! I love your videos. I recently decided to self learn coding and make that my career. Your videos are seriously helping to make everything relatable and doable. Thank you.
Hi, Bukola! Loved this video it was insightful and lighthearted which is much needed right now. Could you do this style of video for a "mock interview" based on your experience? I'd love to know about interviews you've failed and the ones you've nailed too!
Hi, I loved your video! I’m a PhD candidate looking into job applications and potential salary ranges right now. What are some tips you have for negotiating an offer when you’re coming fresh out of school?
i like your videos a lot, very useful info!!! making my own career as a software engineer; very good content... i'd like to say that maybe you may make some improvements in your audio setup, then your videos are gonna be even better than they are right now!!
A video on interview tips, technical and behavioral, would be great! I did a technical interview and moved on to the behavioral interview round for an internship at a tech company (SWE role) and I'm not sure what I can expect! Thanks :)

This is so important! Alot of people are so worried the job will being ripped away if they ask for more money. Especially women in tech.

Thank you!😊
@@isirlasplace91 you're welcome
this is great! never verbally accept an offer because you're excited to get an offer when you haven't seen the contract
