I had a interview today with a company and they offered me $155k. I answered every question thoroughly and crushed the coding assessment. I feel like $155k is way too low for what theyāre asking for as a Senior Engineer so Iāll be negotiating. I need at least $200k.

I started working a Software Engineering contract last year with a company and they were paying me $72/hr, I kept picking up other contracts paying more than that.
But a couple of weeks ago I decided to put in my two week notice, and they offered me $100/hr which is $208k/yr.

I could lose it all and get it right back. Do you want to know how? Because I have skills that are high in demand and companies are always on my line trying to get me to work for them. In college I was making $11/hr as a security guard with no tech skills. I worked for this.

What @SymoneBeez is doing is really inspiring
Sheās showing us how many different areas of tech you can get into and make life changing money.
You get a chance to witness a glimpse of the lifestyle and freedom so many of us have in our tech careers.
And we all didnāt just wake up making multiple six figures a year, we put in the time and the effort into developing our craft while staying consistent.
Everything youāre seeing right now is showing you how possible it is for anyone to change their life in tech, you just have to want it bad enough to change your situation.

It's so much more than just registering with SAM.
There are so many companies registered with SAM that aren't actively selling to the government.
You need a fully defined capabilities statement, capabilities briefing, contract vehicles, certifications, facility clearances, and a process for researching awards.
In addition, you need to determine if you're going the prime or subcontractor route, there's a ton of steps and isn't as simple as people think.

Damn Jay, I thought you were better than that.
We came from the same place, you use to know me when I was at my lowest.
We went to high school together, we played football together, we graduated from Bowie State University.
You know you could always ask how instead of subtweeting.
Iām always open to giving back to my community, Iāll never forget where I came from.
For you to say what you just said sounds like some real hating shit.
Get that hate out your heart bro youāre better than that.

Transparency is so important when it comes to salaries.
In the black community it has been statistically proven that we are behind economically compared to other ethnic groups.
Sharing our salary stories isn't just about numbers it's about opportunity and inspiration.
Let's turn envy from our hometowns into action. Ask how, not why transform that hate in your heart into hustle.
We can leap economic hurdles by sharing our financial journeys. Knowledge is power, inspiration is priceless.

This AI shit yāall keep hyping up? 90% of it is automation cosplay.
I pop on here between projects and all I see is sales bros cosplaying engineers ā screenshotting the same tired n8n flow, sprinkling āAIā on top like seasoning, and calling themselves builders.
No agents. No reasoning. No context awareness. Just glorified automation flows dressed up for Twitter.
I saw @100kAintNoMoney drop stats about Black men not being in high-income fields. Iām one of the exceptions. Not just in the room ā I built the tools the room now depends on.
So let me be clear:
A lot of whatās being sold as āAIā right now would fall apart in any real production environment.
Enterprise teams would laugh you out the room.
Iām done being silent.
Iām making time to expose the fluff and highlight the real ones.
If youāre about quality and not hype, call me forth. Letās raise the bar.
The bullshit ends now.

ANOTHER ONE ā¼ļø
I got some EXCITING news today
One of my friends who was a DevOps Engineer for a number of years landed his first MLOps Engineer role
But hereās the CRAZY thing he enrolled into an AI/ML program THREE months ago and still hasnāt finished yet
Itās EVIDENT that if youāre already technical itāll be somewhat EASY for you to transition into Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence
With his new MLOps role he has transferrable skills that he can use from his days as a DevOps Engineer
These transferrable skills will ALLOW him to support Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Engineers to deploy their models to production in the cloud
Itās EXCITING to see how my guidance not only helped him open up doors to NEW opportunities
But also equipped him with the SPECIALIZED skills and knowledge needed to EXCEL in the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Iām truly HONORED that Iām able to be a voice and provide guidance to others
Seeing people EXCEL by sharing my knowledge and experience is a blessing to see
AND this is only one person out of many that Iāve been guiding to their DESIRED situation
Iām excited for what the future holds for those out there that actually LISTEN and take ACTION

If you want to make top dollar right now you should definitely focus on data related roles, artificial intelligence is meaningless without it.
Many companies are beefing up their data and analytics operations so ultimately their desire is to bring on talented data engineers, data scientists, and data analyst to get this going as they implement their AI strategies.

My mom was one of the few people in my life that didnāt treat me different just because of my success and lifestyle.

No I completed a post graduate program in Artificial Intelligence but before that I worked as a Software Engineer, DevSecOps Engineer, and Cloud Architect.
I had experience architecting traditional web/mobile applications already so when I learned all the components that goes into building an AI application it was pretty straight forward on how to begin designing these systems.

Landing contracts in tech isn't that much different than landing contracts in professional sports.
Think about it for a second.
Just like you can get a 2 million dollar contract in the NFL for 4 years.
You can get a multi-year contract in tech for 1.2 million in 4 years making $300k per year, it's very possible and attainable.
