All fine and great, but also gotta get that bag if you're 10x'ing it. Nothing is more demoralizing than working hard and getting that 3% percent raise at the end of the year.

[@quez]

Oh you guys are getting raises?

[@vakey]

From my 16 years of experience (and this is on top of all the great points you guys added), one of the most underlooked things that makes a 10x engineer is having stayed at a company for more than 3 years. The value you are able to deliver grows exponentially over time since you have built a mental model of the code base, the industry, the company, it's products, and built trust/relationships with people across teams/departements (and hopefully with customers too). Jumping ship every 2-3 years, though great for your own personal growth, makes it really hard to deeply contribute to a company.

[@theimproooooooover]

Agreed just hit my 3 year mark and it's literally a step change in my ability to execute and ship

[@danielbrooks4831]

This highly dependent on company culture. In large organizations, building consensus around good ideas is critical. Being overly proactive can lead to major misalignment.

[@isakdahlstrom]

Thanks Rahul :) I am at the beginning of my engineer/entrepreneur career and every video of yours provide valuable insights

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

glad to hear that! :)

[@danieljakes5949]

Hey pandey , just wanted to say thank you for these vedios.

[@manishvipin]

Bro, you should start a full scratch Android development course using jetpack compose

[@beatsmania1361]

For real

[@Omsamara6]

There’s already plenty out there

[@manishvipin]

@@Omsamara6 but not in jetpack compose

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

this would require me to actually use jetpack compose :P

[@jeswer9]

Like hearing things from Startup CTO's more than Big Tech employees. Startup CTO's actually are amazing software engineers that I would aspire to become. Big Tech employees they are more focused on being professional and trying to optimize 1 button.

[@dhinesh6833]

He looks like primeagen

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

primeagen but british??

[@recursion.]

Nah Arthur Shelby but ginger.

[@mdalmamunit427]

Hello, Sir. I have a query for you. I have been working as a Web Developer for the last 1.5 years. But I have no degree, I have learned skills from online courses and tutorials. My dream is to apply to the top Tech Company. Will university degrees be required for it? Should I have to enroll in Computer Science?

[@jashwanthgottipati9262]

Hey Rahul do you happen to have a Discord Server?

[@Cygx]

Being self motivated is fun, but working for a large software company pays the bills. I would say become financially independent then pursue your own path.

[@natedavidoff668]

His advice is true but also leads to you getting immediately fired at most companies.

[@ep1499]

If I'm 10xing it, I'm working 8 hours a week and still lapping everyone

How to become 10x engineer to Ceo ? Answer: Money

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

I don't understand. Money doesn't help a startup find product-market fit. In fact, it could be detrimental. So having money doesn't make you a good candidate for a CEO/founder role.

[@sukantasaha5678]

​@RahulPandeyrkp I think he meant that in order to be considered a 10x engineer by CEO, just make sure your work directly or indirectly generates revenue and that the CEO is aware of it.

[@ankurbrdwj]

that background music is noise

[@mugi1726]

damn its very difficult to understand what is he talking about. I think the accent is hard

[@_jko]

The audio is pretty bad. Echo + bad mic + accent = can't understand shit

[@Sylverstol]
