Why Computer Science Is the Best Major? 🤑 #reels

first

This is the best case scenario. The key is be a great software developer and not an average one.

He failed to mention that getting a job at Google is 10 times more difficult than getting accepted into Harvard

Wait till he finds out what the cost of living does to your 6 figure salary in SF.

I’m a software eng. and it’s not as glamorous as it seems. The salary and lifestyle is fine but it’s so mentally strenuous and has no chill at times that it makes you want to become a Mormon farmer.

Extremely misleading. There is currently a large surplus of computer science graduates, especially for these big tech companies . The average software engineer acceptance rate is under 1%.. it’s easier to get into Harvard than any of these 200k+ tech companies, and unless your in the top 5-1% of software engineers you will not have a job anywhere as glamorous.

They get paid well because the problems that they solve are really hard and about big cities the cost of living is very higher than a normal place

Why does this guy keep on fanboying for majoring in computer science, computer science is wayyy too saturated.

He's lying. I graduated with a bachelors and a masters in CS and 2 years part time Software Development experience. I didn't get a job for 4 months. No one was fighting to hire me and they only paid me 60K/year

And this is why tonnes of people are loosing their jobs cos people think they can just join big tech companies and work like this without consequences

*good software developers are making six figures

Those kind of videos are the only reason I considered majoring in CS, the high salary. But funny they always never mention that the high salary is only the "best case scenario"

I’m a Junior working on my B.S in CS, located in Alabama, and honestly I’d rather $75k-$85k/yr right out of college here, and then work my way up within a few years; than to start out at $100k/yr in California or any of the bigger cities. I’d rather not have a $46k/yr cost of living just by myself somewhere else when I can live here in Alabama for $30k-$35k/yr. In the long run, I’ll be holding onto more of my assets every year by living down here in Birmingham AL. The high costs of living just outweigh the starting salaries anywhere else for me. I’m gonna start investing in real estate here in the Bham market around 2025-2026 (after this next recession is over), but I wish you all the best of luck!

Straight up what I understand right now is. If you're right out of college. You'll likely have to settle with a startup or small company first and be making 65-70k compared to big companies paying 90-100k plus.

Every stem major makes 6 figures. That's not the standard nowadays 😊

I think Computer Science is slowly becoming like Mechanical Engineering in terms of both being versatile and hard to get an entry level job but still being a very marketable skill despite all that.

Man I’m stuck between this and electrical and computer engineering. But I heard it’s just better to do the last 2 mentioned and self teach programming

Most of the people I graduated with made either low six-figure or very close like 90s first year, by 2 years in all of us are were at least upper six figures, and this is not even on the west coast. The friend making the most is 2 years experience with 380k/yr cash + stock options worth about about 100k/yr in Austin.

I just want a simple life lol. The money is what i need as well as that type of job.

You making it sound like it's easy and fact is even if you get this amount of money a lot of companies abuse progmers in the way that they have burnouts really fast
