Some explanations of my income/expenses:

  • I used www.sankeymatic.com to make this

  • I work as an SDE at Amazon

  • Expenses/revenue represent my first year on the job (09/01/2021-09/30/2022)

  • I graduated may 2021, Started interview process in June, got the offer in August, started in September

  • Unknown Expenses doesn't mean I just lost 10,000. It's because my bank deleted my transaction data from Sep-Oct last year. I tried to get as much as I could but I don't know what exactly I spent that on. Likely it was mostly flights, food, and hotels as I was relocating at the time.

  • The "miscs" are because there used to be Way more info on this graph, but it was really busy so I combined some stuff. I decided to include some of the more interesting smaller expenses

  • Not included is my stock losses. lost about $7000 by that point, outside of the stock grants in my compensation

I've been an RN over 20 years and make less than half of you. I definitely chose the wrong profession. You go. šŸ„³šŸ„³

I continued living with my parents for most of the time to save money. In September I went to relocate to Seattle but I found out everything was still remote due to covid so I got permission from my manager to just go back to my home state. So that isn't a years worth of rent and only a couple months

Sorry. I understand I'm very fortunate to have my job and I was lucky to even get an interview. This isn't really indicative of software engineering in general salaries and more of a lucky anomaly for a small amount of new grads

> Also some unsolicited financial advice: max out your 401k

The funny part is that I do lol. What is your 401k matching? Mine is only 4% and they only match at 50%

The IRS max contribution limit for 401k in 2022 was $20,500, so you typically should want to max that out. I think you are maxing out only what amazon will match

I just contribute to get the free money Amazon puts forward. The money after that isn't nearly as valuable so I just take the liquidity by managing it myself

How do you have 10k of ā€œunknown expensesā€

Thatā€™s a lot of money to go unaccounted for

I bring it up on my first comment. But it's not because I lost $10000. It's because my bank deleted my transaction data from the first 2 months after I started my job.
