Beyond the Code

Have you wondered why some software engineers retire at 35 and others at 60?

And how some of them are already millionares after only a few years of work, while others live pay-check to pay-check, year after year?

Hi, my name is Mihai, and I’m an ex-Meta tech lead.

After 15+ years in the tech industry, I realised the industry is full of ambitious people who are talented, underpaid and overworked.

And worst of all — unaware of what’s possible as a software engineer. How to make more money. Real money. Or how to have a better quality of life.

It’s hard to save when you’re taxed ~50%. Hard to be happy when living in a cold rainy gray city with 6 months long winters. Hard to negociate offers when you are not perceived as a top of the industry engineer.

All while a lot of people less skilled than you are already living their best life or making a lot of money.

I’ve been doing them all. Corporate job, big tech job (Meta and Datadog), freelancing, trainings, opensource. I gained an unique perspective over the IT industry and can help highly ambitious software engineers increase their quality of life and compensation by being aware of their career options.

And that’s exactly what this course is about.

We’ll cover topics such as:

• Designing your life and your career

• Strategy 1 – Getting a high paying job in big tech

• Strategy 2 – Freelancing and remote jobs

• How can taxes help you keep more of your money

• Picking the right company

• Stand out & improve your CV, profile & Personal Brand

• Acing the interviews so you maximize the number of offers you receive

• Your long term growth as a software engineer

Keep in mind that this course it not a silver bullet. You will need to put in the work. You will need to upskill technically. You will need to prepare to become better in interviews. You need to take the hard decisions in your life. But thanks to this course, you will be equipped with information that will help you do that.

Are you ready to benefit from everything the tech market can offer you? If you are highly ambitious and committed to act on the information presented, then this course is for you.

See you on the other side!
