[Music]
today i am in a city which is home to
world's largest employers for example
amazon with
1.1 million employees microsoft with
hundred thousand plus employees they are
right after walmart in terms of number
of people they hire so let's check out
first the live near amazon campus so
hello everyone i'm very blessed to get
an opportunity to meet a software
engineer in a big tech company in
seattle so hi shadow
awesome thank you
thank you
it's a really fancy apartment i'm so
amazed to see
so open
really lovely the introduction hum
atlanta village i was looking for a
roommate and he was a potential roommate
from my atlanta apartment yeah or
now
we were looking for apartments in
atlanta last month in fact uh but then i
had to move to seattle and hanover just
happened to message me that he is in
seattle last night so like we just made
this planned uh
in a couple of hours and here we are
yeah so can you please introduce
yourself so uh india
and how was your journey to be in a big
tech company as an engineer so i'm
basically from delhi i did my schooling
from delhi and then my undergrad also
from delhi technological university
and then i moved to the us in 2019 i
moved i did my master's from north
carolina state university in raleigh
north carolina
and after that i started my job in 2021
so i was actually planning to move to
seattle in 2021 but because the work
from home got extended so i never moved
and
i actually moved to atlanta instead and
that's where i met her yeah you came to
atlanta especially to meet me of course
coincidentally or
yeah so that's that's where i met him
and yeah i was in atlanta for a year and
even i'm pretty new to seattle it's just
been like about a month so yeah like i'm
also discovering it let's check out the
beautiful balconies
it's so amazing
oh wow
like
so i can tell you that i have always
been in like average engineer average
hamesha for a life average a year but i
just really want to tell people
how
but like throughout i wasn't like great
at studies
but i think it's more about like
performing and delivering so even if
you're not like consistent throughout
you can make up for it at the end that's
what i did and yeah
amazing
space
it goes to 41 floors incredible
yeah you can definitely have a very good
view of the south lake and the space
station from here incredible
oh my god
[Music]
and you can see the space needles so
cool
so this side space needle that side you
can see the the lake union lake
union beautiful
yes
is actually the perfect time to come now
can you please share the cost of this
so i'll give you like average estimates
because i got a deal over here when i
moved in we got
eight weeks off
so i don't want to give you like a false
image of the rent
so if you wanna like live in this area
this is
like where all the amazon buildings are
it's called uh this area is slu which is
south of lake union
and the average rent for uh like let's
say one bedroom would be
like 2200 to 2500
and 2200 like on the lower side i'm
saying it like mostly you would find
apartments for like 2 500 for uh
with inflation it's pretty expensive
yeah yeah so compared to atlanta because
atlanta was like 1500 for like a good
luxury apartment so yeah this is
definitely
exciting but biggest benefit is key
prices are similar to silicon valley san
francisco but japanese state tax nia so
whatever you make you are saving seven
to eight percent i think california has
nine percent average taxes right i
believe so nine percent if you prefer to
live in seattle as compared to
california
but other than that there is no state
tax so that you save around seven to
eight hundred dollars per month yeah
that's good yeah i mean
these buildings are more expensive but
they have
less good views than us
i think we have the highest building
around here
[Music]
what we don't have here is a swimming
pool and these apartments have a
swimming pool and it's like super rare
to have a swimming pool in this area now
next question about
how difficult it is to find an apartment
here actually bangalore around bangalore
here we are
so because of that all the people moving
at the same time the rents kind of go
really high and it's kind of difficult
to find an apartment so how difficult it
is how much is the security payment
how's the apartment culture yeah so i
think like that question depends a lot
upon
what time of the year you're moving so
like june july is the busiest time
because a lot of new employees are
joining after graduation interns are
joining for like short term leads so
this is the like busiest time but that
being said i was able to find an
apartment in like two weeks
and like there are like multiple
resources like apartments.com you can
reach out to like groups on facebook
through your company or through your uh
like uh
other grad students around so for me
luckily i didn't spend a lot of time
looking into apartments but uh
definitely if you're moving anytime else
in the year december or something else
you'll find cheaper end and uh like much
better options yeah and about the
security deposit it's mostly like
uh one month's rent uh i haven't seen
anything more than that so that's pretty
standard
[Music]
meeting rooms
and those things are for amazon 30 to 40
buildings there amazon is the biggest
recruiting company for engineers after
all over us as well it has the second
most employees in the us after walmart
we have 30 to 40 buildings
fancy apartments
you don't have to go to any of the
building you can just like have the
pleasure of working in office in your
apartment as well
it's not clear
[Music]
this amazon building is called blackfoot
pretty big finally we are approaching
amazon spheres which is one of the most
famous building of amazon
campus was a nyuk university campus
nyu university we distributed university
building
so this gives me a total university
vibes and it is actually more buildings
