🙋♀️ I’m Maria, Engineering Manager (FAANG, ~7 years) and I’ve been coding since I was 13 years old. I love working in tech because building new things and being creative is something that makes me really happy. While on this journey, I realized how lots of tech mentorship questions I receive in 1:1s from Software Engineers get repeated a lot so I decided to upload short and simple Q&A videos on TikTok which grew to a small amount of followers. For some questions, I wanted to dive deeper with longer answers which is how this channel started. Thanks for being here - my goal is to help some people out and make their lives at tech jobs more effective.

love the bag!
When opening a new card and using it to purchase travel tickets ( Chase sapphire.). How soon are you able to use the points? If I wanted to book my hotel to earn points. Would I be able to get the point right away? And use those points for flights?
HELP! Do you have to book the travel through their portal to get 2x points? Or if I go straight to the airline website, book the flight, and pay with BUILT, would it still give me 2x points for travel?
1:06 love the hats
I’ve used reward cards. I can tell you from my experience the airlines just increase their fares so you don’t really benefit plus theirs a fee you pay every year. To accumulate that many points also means. Your annual fee is greater. The reward you get you end up using it to pay your annual fee if you choose. I spent $5000-6000 a month and I still can’t get a free ride , paying for luggage’s and even seats.
Thank you so much for the videos. I am new in the USA and watching your video gives me the idea of what to do. Please create a video of your credit card journey. Thank you.
Do I get these points also if I live in switzerland or just in the USA. Like if I buy groceries in the supermarket in switzerland I need to buy them with CHF do these cards allow me to pay with CHF and don't charge me extra for that
That a good video 📷📷📷
That a great
There is HUGE downsides by using your credit cards everywhere some scammer at THOSE places YOU use ur cards at can steal your cards info. And a nightmare started.. My friends had that happened anc he lost over 12k
I haven’t had a credit card before and obviously don’t have a credit history. I’m planning to go to Cancun in October of this year and need to book a room at a resort by this month for a wedding. Which card would you suggest I get to do that? How much limit on a card would be recommended? The total stay in Cancun would be over $2,000+
Just got a call letting me know I was approved today 🎉🎉🎉 😮 I’m so excited 75,000 points here I come
What about a credit card with a $500 fee
Yes please! Teach me to find the best travel deals and rewards!
What happened to Maria?
I don't think recouping depreciating item on poshmark can be considered as a source of income
whats the point of using chase freedom unlimited instead of doing all purchases on saphire reserve
can i pay my mortgage with these cards and earn points
Here I am patching, reporting, providing security, modifying groups, finding license waster, adjusting geo blocking, writing application, syncing deltas users, supporting desktops/servers/mobile and getting 80k a year..... Sad days.
yep. management is always full of fluff. especially in larger organisations. small org managers are pretty practical, busy and hands on. but you won't find them on social media
Hard relate. From intern to EM in 5 years at age of 26.
Kannst mich immer noch heiraten
What about Germany and Lufthansa ?
Anyone please tell me i am deciding to do computer science i am interested as well but is it a good career path both in providing sense if satisfaction and in sense money of course ?🙂

Your accent ♥.. And your excitement 😂 so funny. Is this 16gb ram and 512ssd storage? That's what I'm picking up tomorrow and worried about lightroom. Any experience?
I am definitely a new subscriber now. You are extremely knowledgeable about this process. I’ve heard a lot about people doing this, but never had a chance to do it myself because it seemed extremely complicated. I am in very fast learner so I know this is more than possible for me. I am trying to get to Da nang, Vietnam for three months from Washington state. And with your help, I think I will get there sooner than later. This is something I am very interested in, thank you for your help. 🫶🏾
But if I am in Europe? Can I use it too?
People are still building websites. Those low/no code solutions are extremely obvious to point out and the quality is not even comparable
Hey Maria how do you handle product folks and align them with engineering (tech debt vs shipping features).
This is my first time hearing about the loyalty program. If I want to use that to pay rent with my CSP do they still waive the fees, or do they charge you for using a credit card if it isn’t theirs?
They charge fees if it isn’t theirs
From Intern to Engineering Manager? Your journey is quite a strange but inspiring one. No Junior, Intermediate, Senior breakdown. Well, it’s RUclips.
How do you find your accommodation in New York USA
Great video, learned a lot about the role. However, I have 2 questions: 1. How technically you are involved with your role? 2. How is this different from project management? thanks, Nyle
What about Venture X? Great catch-all card.
thank you! Please show us more!
Tip for anyone wondering, you have to already have excellent credit before being able to do any of this
Not necessarily.
@@rg8162 Yeah you do the cards she's recommending require excellent credit to be approved for.
Well yeah lol do you think you can get these credit cards with bad credit? Fix your credit first then do stuff like this.
Link to that SSD?
I love your content in videos. Really helping me as a new Engineering manager. Thank you!
How do you transfer to partner? Do u just go to an airline and sign up?
Hi there, I'm only interested in transferring my points to airlines. Apparently there is an American express card with a 60,000 points sign up bonus but I live in the UK, would i be able get this card? Likewise do you have any advise on a credit card that is particularly good for transferring points to airlines? All help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Thanks for the tips🎉
Thanks! We plan on using our points for our Summer Thailand and European Christmas market trips to Get Travel Content for our Channel, Chasing Charisma. We will let you know how it goes!!
Thanks Maria, I am happy to have you sharing this. Going to have my first supervisor job. Your sharing will help me on my new role.
You havent posted in a long time are you okay
Excellent video. One English pointer - more proper is to say how "many" points instead of "much." If it is countable, then use "many." For exampls, you couod ask, "How many points is it?" But you would ask, "how much food would you like?"
Thank you so much for all this information. I need to start and follow your advise
Thank you. It’s an amazing card. I just use it to pay for my mortgage. It works. Thanks a lot!
Wait! You can pay mortgage??
Yes, I did
@@CagedJock you can use your points to contribute towards your down payment. Mortgage payment might also be on the table but I'm pretty sure the point value is lower
