Hello folks, Just wanna share my story with y’all and I hope this could be an encouragement for untraditional people who are seeking their new jobs. I came to the US as an immigrant with very humble background. My mom works 9 9 7 for $15/hr at the restaurant to take care of our family. Fyi, I do not have a CS degree or any degree at all. I’m doing my Associate Degree at local community college and haven’t graduated until next Summer. I volunteered to work for free at startup just to get experience in the resume before I got my first real internship that pays me $18/hr and I couldn’t work more than 25 hours / week. Today I got a SWE job at a Fortune 500 company that pays me 105k TC in LCOL city. I understand this TC is super low compared to y’all huge TC, but I’m really happy that I made it to this point given I’m just a poor kid with no degree and no bootcamp, just dedication and the desire to give my mom a better life. Finally, just want to thank you all of you for your support and tips on Blind. Y’all are awesome! YOE: 14 months internship Old TC: Internship $18/hr New TC: 105K #engineering #software #swe
