>>27956045>bad decisions I worked three internships in college for each of the three summersI made $12k in the first, $35k in the second, and $30k in the third lel. So yes, I did graduate and buy a car relatively quickly, but I was sitting on some good amount of internship money PLUS ~$25k sign on/relocation bonus. If I can't afford a $29k car, then no one in this country can.
>>27956015>CarVehicle>Car paymentUSD>Gross annual incomePretty clean actuality
>>27956058Did you pay off your student loans?
>>27956037assuming you went to uni straight out of high school at 18, and did a 4 year degree in stem, how the fuck could you be making that kind of money without nepotism of some kind? surely your parents already had the biggest dicks in whatever industry they worked and just handed you a position.you're basically making senior level income of any industry you could be working in, whilst not having had nearly enough time to get the experience needed to get that promotion.
2000 Accord wagon$0, paid $6k many years back$150k-ish AUD but depends on how much OT I getLiterally can not afford anything nicer as every spare cent of my income has to go toward saving a deposit for a home, that in the USA would be large enough to buy a modest house outright. Fuck this faggot country and its retard housing market.

>>27956067My parents paid for my college (>>27954851)>>27956069Computer science degree and software engineering job in CA. Both of my parents are engineers so it definitely motivated me, not that i work at their companies though. Honestly its more than it sounds, because I lose ~40% of my income to taxes here. Not sure entirely what you mean by senior level, but with around ~10 years of experience and hard work, you can expect to clear half a mil a year easily in this industry. Unironically while some of my friends were drinking and partying every night of college like it was a social event, i made sure i had everything i needed on my resume by the time i graduated. It's all about who you surround yourself with. Every single person i know who actually "cared" about career in college got $150k+ offers right out of graduation.

>>27956083So basically your parents gave you money and you spent it on a car instead of squirreling it away for a rainy day

>>27956118Brother he spent 29k on a fucking cumarrow, it's not exactly breaking the bank when the average new car price is around 47k. I don't get why /biz/raelis insist on shitting up hobby boards. I'd rather live and save a little now than save every last penny, scrape by with food bank handouts and ramen and live like a king at 59.5 when I'm old and busted. One of my grandfathers died at 55.

>>27956130Fair enoughI do appreciate a good shitbox, though, they've hauled my ass through more problems than my Alfa Romeo ever could imagine
>>27956083I want to be a SWE, what language and/or direction should I start in? Someone recommended me web dev languages (html, css, js, and then react) but that seems like a pajeet route
I haven't technically got it yet because of supply issues but next year I'm planning on getting a new Plaid with the new™ round steering wheelIt'll be 1200 of the 6800 i make a month
>>27956138I also appreciate a good shitbox, I own a souped up beetle which I've heard is a terrible turd but I cope. Rice rockets seem like a way to speedrun your life, a comfy coupe putting power to the rear wheels means you'll either avoid or survive a t-boning imotbh. $2,000 a year for car insurance though on one car is brutal but I guess he is 22. I spend less on 3 vehicles where I live and their total value is approximately $120,000 wholesale.
>>27956141IT shit is so saturated i'm honestly surprised he got a job so fast out of college, let alone such a high paying one. thousands of jeets move to cali every year to do what he just did. how the fuck do you even find a job that thousands of other applicants are already applying for.
>>27956113Wut>>27956118Bikes dont have 8 cylinder engines and i dont want to die to grass clippings... anyways I dont think camaros are particularly unreliable, and i dont put too many miles on it anyway. >invest in stocks, if not propertyLel you're gonna need a $400k down payment for a shack here in CA, Im not sure how many years it'll take to save that up. Maybe 8-10 years if I really tried. Home ownership or even just investing in property in general is looking real fucken grim here. I dont trade stocks either, but obviously all my money sits in retirement accounts, savings accounts, etfs etc... Though i should probably be a bit more aggressive with my money considering i am young... >>27956135RWD or awd? I always thought they are highly underrated >>27956141I mean probably the best thing to do is just get a computer science degree, i dont know how far qualifications or knowledge alone will take you to get a job. A CS degree will give you a broad understanding of things like compilers, operating systems, databases, networks, etc. But for whats actually realistically needed at 99% of SWE roles: you should be familiar with web dev, like what you describe, with object oriented programming languages like java, with some scripting language like python for things like data processing... To pass interviews, you should be able to solve programming challenges like those found on leetcode, if you know what that is. Good luck

>>27956154>I mean probably the best thing to do is just get a computer science degreeIt's over for me... I have 0/4 years of college doneBut I will stay on this path then since it seems to align with what you suggest. I'll learn python next I suppose. I've been suggested by someone in the field to learn C# over Java but we'll see when it comes to that point. Thanks anon
>>27956015That's really not very informative OP. The question includes neither the term of loan nor the down payment, extra warranty purchase or what options the car has. It doesn't really tell you if it's a good deal or not. >Crosstrek Wilderness>$540>$90k/year.
>>27956162Fuck that shit, self-study and if you're serious do research on a good boot camp program in your area, the kind that won't ask for repayment until you get a tech job starting at 60k a year.
>>27956153>i'm honestly surprised he got a job so fast out of collegeLike I said, EVERY single person i know who ACTUALLY TRIED and ACTUALLY CARED got a well paying job (those in computer science i mean) out of college. You are right, the market right now is not as good as it was a few years ago pre/during covid, but it's not only possible, it is probable to get a good job if set your mind to it. >>27956162Im not sure, though i feel like certain, more prestigious places might just auto-reject you without looking at your resume if it shows no college degree... There are just so many applicants, that companies will put any set of filters even if it seems unreasonable to limit the candidate pool. Perhaps at a less prestigious company a bootcamp will do, like the other anon suggests. Without a degree, you need some good personal projects to compensate. Something has to go on your resume after all. Technical interview performance matters a lot, you should really grind leetcode. A lot of even the technical skills and programming languages you can just pick up on the job (if youre a somewhat sharp person), but being able to solve all the coding challenges at the interview stage at a faang company is what will push you over the edge (for that matter behavioral interview performance matters too)

>>27956153Both of his parents are engineers, potentially with past histories at the company he currently works for and they could put a good word in for him. Tech companies are highly incestuous, I work at one.
>>27956175>Tech companies are highly incestuousAll companies are, more or less.
>CarChrysler 300C SRT8>Car payment$0>Gross Annual Incomeidk probably on track to hit 100k if I can keep things up
>>27956175Could not be further from the truth. I got my internships/job by going onto the companies' websites and filling out the application form, like anyone else could have done. For context Im from NY. The software engineering roles (which my parents have) on that side of the country are all in the financial sector -- which is to say they have no real connection to the tech industry at all.

>>27956154>RWD or awd? I always thought they are highly underratedAWD cause the open diff sounds terrible with RWD. Also, I appreciate less wheel spin too. Technically, I could also buy a RWD and install an LSD but I would void warranty and didn't want to start modifying right away too (will get one down the line tho). I appreciate the dealer installed Axle back exhaust cause stock sounds underwhelming
>>27956180I just notice they have the kind of wages and benefits that practically guarantee it's going to lead to an entire family tree working for them. It's not like dooming your son to the coal mines, it's blessing your son with six figs out of college and 15% employer match 401k.>>27956182Cousins, aunts and in-laws could be used as references if from a similar working background. I'm not trying to dog on your accomplishments just provide some context from working in the industry myself to the fine people of /o/.
