I am 28 with 220k TC this year as SWE. My goal is to clear half-million by 30. Have interviews with FANG+ and HFT scattered through October and into November. So far, not confident in any. How do I make up for lost time? US citizen btw. No visa needed. 6 YOE. SWE
Net worth?
Counting equity in home, about 800k. About 600k without home equity.
How’d you save up 600k within 6years that’s insane especially living in nyc I presume?

Start a business and or invest
When your target is tc not growing technically , you won’t go far.
Exactly. Don't chase TC but growth
Those companies will force you to grow. Up or out culture. Prep is a separate game and TC can motivate you to prep hard. Nothing wrong with that.
U join a high growth company and let the RSUs grow
I would but that is risky. May as well play the lottery (state, options or other)
This is an ignorant mindset
I can help you navigate the best places to join among HFT. Dm me for info
Said the guy at Microsoft....

Buy Tesla calls
More like short Tesla calls
More like buy calls of Tesla shorts of Tesla calls
Clear? you mean you want to dump 500k by age 30?
If you join Citadel at 22 you would have cleared it by 25.
how much do you make at citadel?
May I DM for resume review and advice?
Staff at fb/goog
Is that doable if hired at say, SWE III? Even willing to double the time frame to 32
I doubt it
