  1. Long time follower here: Love the work you do. Just a bit of advice, you can be choosy with your sponsors to continue your image of wholesome tech prep person. Trust me, I know the pressure to make income, but you already have grown an account organically in record time. You can make a decent income from YT shorts with your subscribers and view count. There's no reason to sacrifice your long term vision for short term gain. You'll be fine. You have a wife and other revenues of income. And with your career, you should have a substantial safety net. Give yourself time.

  2.  @HassaanALal  True, it's no wonder his own wife took the kids and disappeared lmao. He's an awful person.

  3. I don't know if you covered this topic yet, but I think something I struggle with is words. To form clear and concise words in speaking. Coding is half the battle. Being able to communicate your thoughts to the targeted audience is just, if not, more important I feel like. Thank you!

  4.  @shoooozzzz  Straight up disgusting move by Steve. "Why shouldn't he get paid for FREE content" some of his NPC supporters are saying. It's not like he's in desperate need for money; more opportunities will come, just greedy. Sad to see.

  6.  @johnallentech  Yea :( I mean given $1M+/yr household income to now ~$250k/year income is a big change, but even so, he should be solid for years to come, with extra fun money for the kids. Should be more than enough time for his social media stuff to pop off even more, but ya now, money > everything.

  7. Storytelling is the advice that resonated with me. I have so many things to yap about, but I don't tell good stories.

  8. Yes! I took a similar route. I was never at your level as a SWE, but I did leave SWE in order to become a day trader for those reasons. We are just all corporate cogs. Your life and family is the #1 priority.

  9. Thanks Steve, tough video to make, but it certainly helps. Stressful times for sure. An economic downturn/depression helps no one.

  10. Not surprised. The tech prep interview industry is a multi-tens million dollar industry and growing. Scammy and predatory industry. You can 100% do all of it for free. No need for AI backed streamlining buzzwords bs.
