Why does story A ruin Haseebs rep?

Noone believes it.

Can someone refresh my memory on what the prop bet was?

Maybe if you have kids and your favorite thing in the world is go to expensive restaurants. I live in manhattan and my living expenses are only like 15k higher than when I lived in flyover country.

I am taking into account some extra factors but I think you're also way underselling it. City tax + higher state tax will be about 12.7% compared to the typical 5% state tax so there's your $16k/year on a $210k salary right there.

Average commute time in the US is 25 mins vs. 37 mins in NYC. That's about 3 weeks of work or another $13k/year at your NYC salary rate.

Rent is definitely going to be higher, it's been a couple years since I lived in Manhattan but let's say mediocre studio for $2k/month. Most flyover country (unless you're cherry picking Chicago or something) you could find something much nicer than your NYC studio for let's say $1k/month. That's another $12k/year by my count.

Average work week in NYC is 49 hours, average for the US is 34 hours. That's about $65k based on your $210k salary hourly rate. That's probably a bit extreme (fewer families in NYC), let's call it $50k.

So by my tally per year you're spending as a single dude:
$16k taxes
$13k commute time
$12k rent
$50k additional hour expectations

Or $91k out of your $210k salary based on either additional cost or hours committed. 43%.

So we haven't even touched anything like kids or eating out. Obviously, differing circumstances could change that average a lot but I think I've nailed the typical NYC setup quite well with my 40-50% discount rate. Even lining these up, your typical stuff will be a lot harder in NYC (travel, entertainment, living amenities), you have to really love NYC to live there (and plenty do) but going for the higher salary is generally a math fail.

Isn't this the guy who scored a hat trick in a hurricane in Iceland?

what?

No, that was a different guy. Can't recall his name, think it began with an S. Big winner back in the day who attended Penn State with a STEM a degree iirc. Not DIH

This just in, man gets job

No, that was this guy:

It was Samoleus who scored a hat trick in a hurricane in Iceland. Or not...

I always thought that Keflavik was that parrot with bomb from Serious Sam, thanks for information, it changed my life.

Can the haters please continue to research and post information that proves he isn't as successful as he claims and doesn't make that much money so I can feel better about myself? Please and thank you

Good for him.

Is this more money or less money than Jungleman was paying him to be his PA?

are we including the "extra services" supposedly provided cause then it becomes a little murky

Where do you get this 34 hour work week from? I've worked in several states around the US and 40+ hour work weeks seem super standard everwhere.

This is an unbelievable story.

The only issue now is him actually being productive with his 12 week online course background. When you make that sort of money you are under more pressure. Pretty unreal scam when you look at things in context.

These company's work differently. Some of these company's let the employee's take the day off after a late Game of Thrones episode. So they only work 4 day weeks, with one of those day's being creative day where they are allowed to work on anything they want outside of there normal job duties.

My first job out of school was a low paying job at a small firm where the hours were come in anytime before 11 and leave when your work is done. Was normally around 3:30-4(I was an idiot for not continuing down this career path). Regret it now.

It's averaging men and women, 40+ hour work weeks are common as are 60+ hour work weeks in NYC.

FWIW, I know a lot of people who have done these coding bootcamps, and the consensus among them (and more generally from those in the tech hiring world) is that these bootcamps / academies that are springing up everywhere and charging an arm and a leg ($10K - $20K) are...well "scam" isn't the right word, but rather it's that the bootcamp marketing WILDLY overstates just how proficient you'll be after 12 weeks. It's definitely an immersive experience, but the idea that SV companies will be kicking down your door to hire you for $100K+ is pure fantasy. Your 3-month intro-to-programming course is just stupidly bush-league among a pile of resumes from Stanford CS graduate students. I'd wager that HQ is smarter and more diligent than the average bear so I'd give him a marginal leg up on the typical bootcamp client, but the most typical experience after 12 weeks is sending out hundreds of resumes hoping to get nibbles for entry-level stuff from no-name startups and HOPE that you can parlay it into opportunities at household name places like HQ claims after 3-4 years.

This, there is no way Google et al offered this scrub that much in base salary. It's just not how the industry works. Sounds almost more like a PR move on his part or "App Academy's" part (to prove their ability to help people get jobs). He is not a rare and unique snowflake.

You do not get the high paying jobs in this industry (or most industries, for that matter) without a ton of proven experience producing things. Attending an "App Academy" class doesn't count, sorry.

Cliffs:



And also his profound lack of experience in software development means it's unlikely he will stay at a given company for any length of time unless he performs.

The whole thing actually seems very similar to the "Portuguese Prodigy" nonsense, if you think about it.

if AshMan could run 100miles in 72 hours (something along those lines).

if AshMan pulled it off he would win 300K from Haseeb and Jungleman (He did)

if AshMan failed he would pay Haseeb and Jungle 900k

iirc the entire thing was a hustle that backfired on Haseen and Jungleman and they never really paid Ashman his entire 300K (I think he only managed to collect 150K or so)

If it is true, would not be surprised if he got fired for talking about his salary like this, and he could also be fired for lying about his amount of experience...

It is probably made up though... because nobody would be this stupid to brag publicly that you scammed the system and only have basic programming skills.

Also, what does it mean that he was a director of product for his 12-week bootcamp? That is like saying you were group leader in comp sci 101 class at community college.
