strong nerd ballinFor the past two years Snapchat has been making huge job offers to students at Stanford and other top engineering schools.
This year it's offering seniors and finishing graduate students salaries between $100,000 and $150,000, and $300,000 in stock grants that vest over four years. (That's down from last year, when Snapchat would offer students $400,000 in stock.)
Any Stanford student who accepted one of those 2014 offers is, in all likelihood, already a millionaire on paper. The company's valuation has multiplied since then. In the fall of 2013, Snapchat turned down an offer to sell to ******** for $3 billion. Last summer, it raised almost $500 million at a $10 billion valuation. This year, it raised another $200 million at a $15 billion valuation.
According to several people we spoke with for a story on the life of Stanford seniors in 2015, big publicly traded tech companies like ********, Google, and LinkedIn regularly pay new hires out of Stanford a salary of between $100,000 and $150,000. Those companies will offer stock grants between $100,000 and $200,000. Sometimes there are signing bonuses close to $25,000.
Snapchat isn't offering these kinds of salaries and stock grants to all new hires - just top software engineers from top computer-science programs.
A person familiar with Snapchat's offers says one reason the company has to offer so much more than Google and ******** is that it is not based in Silicon Valley with the rest of the industry, but way down in Los Angeles. Also, Snapchat is perceived to be as a riskier place to work.
A Stanford graduate student who turned down an offer from Snapchat for a lighter one from ******** confirmed that those were the two reasons he took less money.

Actually in this world money can bring a lot of happiness. It opens possibilities etc. Women will even like you for it. You can buy what you want, you never have to worry about money. You never have to worry about expenses. If you have enough you never have to work and can just relax and do what you want with your time. etc etc.

Its difficult
In my first class (intro) there was about 100 students.
the 2nd semester there were only about 25 left.
It is by no means impossible, but you need to put the time in and having a strong foundation from pre-collegr years is a huge boost.
But yes my professor tells us every day theres a shortage for CS majors. And we may start importing them from india n sht

Because this is all they have. Is it not obvious?
Their claims are sad and funny to read. lol.
They claim to be CEO's or have xxxx amount of money or be doing all these women.
Anyone knows that real people doing those things wouldn't be hanging out on a forum and trying to convince other people about what they are doing lol.

my intro to cs classes were pretty easy...
basically learned C++ in our first two intro to cs classes.
there are so many ways to tackle the same problem. that's what's cool about it.
honestly want to be a fishing guide for inshore like specks and reds, but CS will give me a brighter future straight out of college i thinkMisc Hunting and Fishing crew

Like having 3 monitors and some little programming that looks like school work on the computer? oh yes nice achievement. lol Fail.
Keep up with your posts.
You remind me of a guy on a forum who kept posting and claiming he had close to millions of dollars and was having sex with hot women everyday.
And his evidence was him taking a pic of a check that had like $270 on it or something and then later holding like $200 in his hand and taking a pic of that. hahahaha. lol.
Thanks for the laugh srs.
