Why I turned down a million dollar job to code and do Lambda School
- streetcat1 6y agoIs this a commercial to lambda school?
- adhamabdelf 6y agoNot really. I just got excited to get started (I just did) so I added Lambda to the write up because I am (so far at least) convinced that they are doing a very good job structuring the program. Not an ad by any stretch I don’t even know anyone there :-)
- dotcoma 6y agoBecause you're already wealthy enough. Good for you!
- adhamabdelf 6y agoLet’s see :-) I have enough savings to keep me going for 12 months on a tight but doable budget. My savings from my career so far have been mostly spent caring for my family. And I didn’t see a dime from that million dollar job since I quit after 8 weeks. I drive a Honda, live in a 1 bedroom apartment and moved to Austin to avoid high costs of NYC/SF while I do this. So I wouldn’t say it’s because I am wealthy enough :-) granted 12 months of runway is already very good compared to what most people have and I am super lucky to have gotten there.

- adhamabdelf 6y agoI certainly hope not :-)
- Jmak67 6y agoYes, definitely. I already watched this play out with two people I know. It does not end well.
