Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

A huge portion of that is stock you may never earn. I fell for that once at a startup never again.
Yea, I'd prefer money than actual stock. I've been at companies where the stock either didn't do shyt or tanked
Microsoft is planning job cuts and focusing more on underperforming employees
The moves are part of a broader change in Microsoft's approach, which includes taking a harder look at low performers, sources told BI.

Still doing great, and my contract got extended.
At my job, there were layoffs in November and the exec assistant for the CEO was laid off last week.
There’s rumors of more layoffs coming at the end of the month. My teammates are saying that the IT team is safe, but that doesn’t make me feel much better

Got hit for some contract work recently, they guaranteed three years of employment @ $180k
but I think contract work is just to precarious for me right now.
I'll finish the education then from there, I'm throwin' the ski mask (back) on.

It's funny because Jensen just took a giant shyt on all of the people who kept talking about AI "Replacing" talent.
I loved that part of the presentation.
He basically had to let people know that, no, it's not "replacing" the talent but it WILL allow
them to work more efficiently.

Yup. shyt I’m about to be an EE soon and this shyt made learning the material for the degree really easy.
Now I see some apps out there like Flux that have been doing a great job building circuits and they keep getting better and better, basically multiplying any one person’s efficiency.
Now if you’re a company, do you want to hire 1 person working at x10 efficiency or 100 people working at x10 efficiency? Even a trickier question when a rival company hires 200 people working at x10 efficiency compared to the former’s 100 hires. That company isn’t falling behind x2, but x200.
Like if people don’t think those NVIDIA Engineers aren’t using A.I themselves, they’re highly naive.

Exactly and lately, I've been making similar moves, I'm applying for my masters in EE in the fall and I'm finishing up a DS Degree right now.
I bad mouthed AI but it has been clutch when I need help with writing code and/or summaries of concepts if I miss a chapter in our assigned
texts.
It works great as a little helper or more efficient google.
