How were you able to accumulate 600k by 28?
- satvikpendem 4y agoProbably working in big tech and riding the wave of zero interest rates.
- bosch_mind 4y agoPretty much this. Grinding leetcode, constantly negotiating higher pay and getting massive bonuses early in my career. I’ve invested wisely and lived a simple life earlier on
- satvikpendem 4y agoDamn I need to get on that grind too. Any tips on getting to the interview stages? Did you just message recruiters for those companies?
- paxys 4y agoYou don't even need to do this much. If you started as an entry-level new grad engineer at a FAANG-equivalent company at 21 you'd have 600K saved up by 28 by following the normal career progression ladder. You wouldn't have to hustle or grind, just coast. And not have obscene expenses of course.
- satvikpendem 4y agoTo get in initially, you do need to grind Leetcode at least.
- bosch_mind 4y agoI went to grad school so maybe slight set back
- p1esk 4y agoYou can do that in just 3 years at FAANG at L5+ level.
