He studied at Stanford. Did Under grad and Grad both from Stanford. Got offer from Facebook, Twitter, Google etc for the first job itself. He's smart for sure, he is trying to be humble but fact is that is smart kid.
The insight into his success is that he is clearly smart and focused. And he had an amazing foundation from childhood when it comes to learning/education and finding motivation from his peers. So, I don't think the avg person that is going the self taught route especially later in life would be able to take much from his success unless you also had an amazing foundation. I mean the guy literally got a Masters in Computer Science from a good college, its going to be hard to try to compete/emulate that. Also another theme I have noticed with successful people is getting in at the right time, and the right time often is at the early stages. The early 2010's era was still kind of the early stages of big tech for at least half FANG companies, facebook, and netflix.
Hey Quincy, that was a lot of typing you did during this podcast. I couldn't finish watching the podcast because it seemed your attention was divided - you weren't fully with him. I appreciate all you have done and all you are doing but I had to point this out. I love you both - thanks 🙏 I still got something from the podcast.
Thanks. I take detailed notes while I interview for follow-up questions. I got a quieter keyboard though so you shouldn't hear me typing in the future. - Quincy

Some hopefully constructive critique: if you’re going to type while your interviewee is talking, please make sure it’s not audible to us listeners. It’s really distracting and grating on the ears. It also gives off the appearance that the interviewer is multitasking and not intently focusing on what the interviewee is saying.
Thanks for your feedback. I got a quieter keyboard. I'm taking notes (active listening) but I can see how it might seem like I'm trying to multitask (which isn't really a thing.)
I know this isn’t hard hitting journalism or anything but I wish the interviewer had pushed back a little more or provided some context or counter points when his advice is basically “have competed in math tournaments and go to Ivy League then be funneled into big tech” I think this is tone deaf and basically works for 0% of freecodecamp’s audience.
Thanks for the feedback. Rahul is most definitely an outlier, and I hope that this comes through in the interview. Most of the people I interview on the channel didn't go to Stanford or work in FAANG and I hope you enjoy those conversations.
Lol, imagine all the billionaire thinking like this lame guy who commented, everyone has different dream... Many settle for less and only few hustle abd they are the one in top 1% list
@@senorperez It's just different ways of achieving the same objective: freedom. Why do you want to be a billionaire? To own the world? No, to be free. To achieve freedom you need to be a master of yourself first, then you become a leader and then you can be set free.
He had the luxury of being able to quit...because he got paid 20-30k every 2 weeks while he was working. In 2 months he made more than the average American makes in an entire year. It would be pretty easy to quit after a few years of money like that.
Lol no.. Only politicians, few movie artists, few business men able to make this money In Software no such salary in cash. if so.. may be they are on edge of their career.
yeah no sh*t, the market is over saturated, one in every four or five person is a developer of some sort, there are no programming jobs, people are getting laid off here and there, there's more demand than supply and this guy says it's not too late to become a developer? Funny.
This sounds like a load of BS and I'm really disappointed FCC is giving this guy a platform and giving people false hope. Nobody sane gives up 800k/yr - US no less, to build a startup. 800k is more than most doctors and even surgical specialists. If you want us to take thia seriously post some evidence. 800k a year you do that for 5 years and retire. Ive been in tech for 7 years and make a dogshit 55k as a developer and then as a system programmer. Don't listen to this BS, be a doctor or a lawyer.
55k is the mid dev salary even in eastern europe countries, you can definitely do better than that. Speaking of the guy from the video, idk if 800k is a real thing, but dont measure everyone same way. You said what YOU would do (work 5 years and retire), but people like him are just enthusiasts so I am not suprised by his decision starting start up. At the end, as you already concluded, he’s already a millionaire so he can do what he feels best to.
They don't have to lie for an hour and a half, just about the 800k number and by age 32. The rest of it could all be true, or could all be BS. How many LinkedIn influencers are out there spewing the same garbage about business and tech, some even without ever working in the field? Extremely easy stuff to lie about if you know even a little or have worked in the industry. @@SJ-yf9xy
@@ceztro2301 There is no way 800k per year for dev job unless CTO or CEO but CEO got a lot more than that. 400k/yr for dev job would be a little bit more realistic.

800k a year for a developer? 200-300k makes somewhat sense but, 800? He gotta be in some top postion or something man
Probably includes total compensation.
60-70k in Europe is for seniors
@@dmitriimrcat you mean in a year
Probably in India currency 💴 he makes that 😅
He does a video on it. Its about 200-300k plus add-ons and stock options etc. Its not 800k salary as such
The bassline was from Jackson 5 - I Want You Back 🕺
Nice. You got it. - Quincy
If I made 800K/year I'd probably work for 5 years and then bye, no need to work again (except on things I really want to work on).
You could not live off of that forever, would also be really boring
@@bluechip6596 faang don't pay 800k dollar yearly
That's the way poor brians think , who cares about money if he make 800k, you
Creating a value for your life and it can not be compared with money
If you had that much free time you would either be spending more money than you are now or live a boring life.
I'd leave in ay ear, thats more money than I will earn in my sw developer role if I stay until retirement (another 18 years)
$800k/yr for a dev is either a unicorn job or an absolute lie. And he quit that for a startup?
I dont think im crazy for being *highly* suspicious.
Maybe, but probably he is a millionaire, and the obvious way is start his own business. That’s how I see.

@freecodecamp okay, thanks. All love from here.
I once watched a tutorial by Rahul Pandey on developing an app for Android, this guy is good
Were you able to emulate what you've seen???
The beginning song is called "I want you back" by the Jackson 5.
That's right. Nice.
Yeah, quit that job to sell hope (courses)
He's already a millionaire ❣️
More power to people like this. But if you are making $800k per year and you feel that "isn't enough money", then I'm not going to like you much.
😂 but that's dreaming big...
With that salary you can be millionaire, but to become billionaire you've to do some business
60-70k for seniors devs in Europe. 800k is bullshit
because Europe is overregulated and each country's market is fragmented. US companies serve 330 million people at a minimum so the scale raises salaries, in addition to the less burdensome regulations
good interview !!!
800K total compensation is not the same as 800K CASH, those 800K probably included lots of stock
never too late...wait till you hit 45 - 50 then your'll understand how untrue that is
I'm all for positivity but this interview is setting up unrealistic expectations
Tech lead @ Meta ... 800 is TC ... par for the course?
800k a year is CRAZY …
1) Have rich, influential parents to get you into best schools 2) ??? 3) make $800k. It’s really that easy!
You don’t have to be rich to be one of the best students in one of the best universities. Clearly, you’ve never tried.

Yeah like how
complete nonsense, work 15 years, go into early retirement and you'll live a great life
You are looking for a settled life dude and he is not , that's the difference . He is building his empire .
