Yes, i think he used to work at Airbnb at one point.
I have similar numbers over same time frame starting at 32k in 2014 and today at $650k as a director at a large Silicon Valley tech company. Career path focused on network security. I suck at creating content though!
Result of 0 interest economy. Many tech jobs got inflated both in salary and numbers. Future: salaries will remain high but numbers go down
Yup, he worked at Netflix and Airbnb.
I have seen better numbers but some people donโt like the limelight. He is leveraging his story to grow as a content creator- all power to him
Sure itโs believable, itโs just not normal. This would be the top 0.01% of people working in data engineering space and even top 1% in big tech.
His title reportedly grew to tech lead at a major startup from the average data engineer, so it is possible if his titles are correct.
