Hey Baxate! So I am a high school senior and have college applications coming up. I have roughly a 3.75-3.8 GPA and have quite a few extracurriculars and a few years of leadership experience. I've been checking and the field of software engineering seems super competitive, especially when it comes to getting into a good school so I am not really sure how to go about this. I would like to go to UC Berkeley but from what I am hearing it's a super high reach. How do you think I should go about this with applications only a little ways away? Thank you!

Hi man, saw your work on tiktok and wanted a few tips on how to get started as a software developer, im currently 18 years old from Brazil, and studying computer science at university, and maybe looking for internship opportunities remotly, thank you in advance

Hey, I graduate from high school next year and I’m interested at becoming an IT cybersecurity engineer. I wondered what’s the best major for such a job. And if a bachelor is all I need or having a master could help more for securing better position or salary. I don’t know how It actually works and I don’t wanna take any wrong decision I may regret afterwards so I thought I’d simply ask. Thanks 🙏🏼

Hi Baxate & Community. My name is Nicolas, i'm a 19yo Argentinian which is just starting his journey as a junior software devoloper at an agency i've been working as a functional analyst for almost a year. And next year i will be graduating from college with a System Analist degree. I been looking forward to start investing because i still live with my parents and want to make more of the money im saving. How can i get started?

Hope this message finds you well. I am currently a student at a solid university studying finance and economics. I am on track to obtain an investment banking internship and get a full time offer north of $150k in full compensation. This is a realistic situation based on my circumstances and I am reaching out asking for advice on what you would do as I follow your personal finance advice closely. To achieve my circumstances, my family and I are depending nearly entirely on student loans. I have a scholarship, but it doesn't amount to much in the grand scheme of things ($28k). The student loan will ultimately be around $150k - $200k on the high end. However, this was done intentionally as I knew I could achieve a high paying career like IB. I am reaching out as I am wondering what you would do if you were in my situation. Imagine you received your software engineering role but were in $200k of student loans. How would you navigate paying this off? Would you prioritize investing with your income level in any manner? In IB and private equity consequently, the compensation increases dramatically, with $500k being a conservative estimate to make a year by 28 years old. Therefore, I am curious as to if you would pay off the debt as soon as possible or invest the income and then worry about paying off the debt when my income increases significantly. Really hope to hear back from you as I'm a fan of your content.
