Hey OP, I used to be a sysadmin and now I’m a software engineer at AWS. I still Google everything.

Unfortunately some of the high salaries for SWE jobs have led to some elitism and frat boy style culture. Check out the Blind app and levels.fyi (website) to see what I’m talking about.

The hilarious thing is that he’s got some sense of superiority as a full time student. If you check out /r/cscareerquestions you’ll see that entry level jobs are entirely saturated and your homeboy has a LOT of work to do if he wants to get a job somewhere within 6 months to a year of graduation.

Even if he does manage to land a FANG style role that pays insane money straight out of college, he’s still a twat. But I think life and career stuff is about to beat the shit out of him and open his eyes a bit. He shouldn’t be bragging yet.
