Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[IIVI]

The interview should be can this person do the job he's interviewing for. Is he easy to work with and can learn quickly.

The same way other industries do. Other than that the tech industry needs to look into getting standard licenses for the specific niche domains. I'm glad we are doing away with these retarded hoops they want you to go through.

Then Indians and Asians are notorious cheaters big tech deserves to be getting finessed like this.

Me personally, the Leetcode thing was always dumb. It requires way too much time outside of work/school for shyt that has minimal impact on the job. I made the decision to go back to school for EE a couple years back so I couldn’t focus on Leetcode and my skills are probably rusty at this point. I definitely have been solving way more interesting problems than Leetcode for the last year or so, but that won’t show in an interview based on Leetcode.

I compare Leetcode to the bench press at the NFL Combine. High bench press numbers don’t indicate on-field strength and don’t mean much, but teams use it to see how disciplined a player is - which like Leetcode doesn’t really translate to doing a great job.

That said, if companies start doing this, people would riot:


NVIDIA and Arc institute recently cracked the human genome so checking IQ on genes may actually be a thing in the future.

Best thing to do is leave this all behind.

Google’s Sergey Brin Urges Workers to the Office ‘at Least’ Every Weekday​

Google’s Sergey Brin Urges Workers to the Office ‘at Least’ Every Weekday

The tech giant’s co-founder said that if employees worked harder and were in the office more, the company could reach an artificial general intelligence breakthrough.

www.nytimes.com

Currently, Google maintains a hybrid work system that requires employees to come to the office at least three days a week, but this is interpreted as a suggestion to abolish it and expand in-office work. He also emphasized work efficiency, noting, "Working 60 hours a week is the optimal productivity point."

This coming from “rest and vest” HQ, aka Google, shows you the shift is real. Googlers not gonna like this.

It depends on the current job market, but it’s pretty likely that we’re going to get about 3 rates cuts this year, first being high probability for 25 bp cut in June.

If consumer spending stays down and the economy standoff, I’d expect it.

Like I said in the other thread, the jobs report on Friday will be big. If that’s low af the rate cuts most likely happen quicker. Can be a big jobs numbers climb for tech.

I should have tried to work 3-4 jobs in 2020 instead of trying to catch up from 3 years of being sleep deprived.

I tried working two jobs during the pandemic for the double the salary. But it got way too hectic due to constant time demands.

It was much easier to job hop every 6 to 9 months during the pandemic for a higher salary.

Why I never did it. At my stage meetings and stuff are too sporadic and random

The secret to working multiple jobs imo is to downscale.

J2 and J3 should be much easier than an already chill J1.

I know some people like going for multiple $100k+ salaries though.

Yes J2 and J3 should be easier.
However, autonomy is another factor. Not having a micromanager, limited meetings, autonomy of your time/schedule/deliverables.

In jobs that pay less than $100k, you don't have much autonomy and usually have a meddling micromanager.


*worked 3 full tine jobs for 4 months smh never again
*2 full time jobs for on and off for 2 years

The problem I had was working for global companies. All of them expected you to work across different timezones. It is damn near impossible to have a set work schedule.
