More breakout videos from this creator.
My last video blew up. So I'm gonna tell you guys how I made $120,000 from software engineering internships and hackathons before I graduate from the University of Michigan. The first time I ever made money from hackathons or internships was from the Capital One Summit, which turned into a hackathon, which I won and I was gifted an iPad. And I sold the iPad for $500. After this I was given an opportunity to intern for Capital One for $49 an hour for 10 weeks. And I was salaried at 40 hours a week. And then they also supplied corporate housing, which they did put on my taxes, but I think that number was around like 35 to 40. I don't know where they got that number from cause I was only there for 10 weeks, but that's what they said. But I did live in a studio in Pentagon City in a high rise. So for the sake of the numbers, I'm just gonna say I earned $30,000 total from Capital One. After this I went on to J.P. Morgan Chase to win the code for good hackathon and I was given an OLED switch. At the time it was worth $500 dollars and I ended up keeping it and not selling it. My next internship was at Uber, where I made $51 dollars an hour for 12 weeks. I was also given a $5 thousand dollar stipend to live anywhere I wanted in San Francisco. This Puts me at around another 30 thousand dollars for the entire summer. Then came the next summer. I worked for Amazon for 12 weeks in Seattle, Washington. I was given a $7 thousand dollar housing stipend. And I worked there for I think $52 dollars. I just checked it was $52. 40 hours a week, another 12 weeks. That puts me at around 31,000, 32,000. I'm just gonna say 32,000. And so we're at the 91 thousand dollar Mark. And this is pretax. And then my final and last internship is right now with Mercury here. I make $55 dollars an hour, 40 hours a week for 16 weeks. And looking at the numbers, that actually puts me at around 1 hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. And then after that I will be enjoying a much needed European summer vacation. So by the time I graduate, I would have made almost a hundred and thirty thousand dollars from software engineering internships and various opportunities. Let me know if you guys want more.
