Job numbers reported lower than expectations today. Overall down by 150k.

Meanwhile, healthcare jobs climbed by 50k though. Man, if I could deal with that stuff that should’ve been the career to go after.

Most likely means multiple rate cuts this year and more hiring though for companies.

Speaking from the tech side of healthcare, it's a blessing and a curse. You have to really be able to manage the stress that comes with the job otherwise it'll lead you to an early grave.

They’re going to have to start bringing back onsites at this point and those questions tend to be a lot easier because the people interviewing don’t know Leetcode like that either. That’s the biggest bullshyt about the current interview process.

Companies are too cheap these days to fly you out like they use to for interviews.

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


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."

:francis:
He's not lying. That's really less than what it takes to succeed when I was working for an elite company. Just takes too much time.

Can you elaborate on this :feedme:
One of the blessings of working in tech for healthcare is that healthcare is one of those industries that will be around for the foreseeable so as long as you know your stuff, you will be able to find opportunities (not saying they will all be good). The curse that comes with it is that it's a costly industry and most times you will be forced to support systems that were created by companies that no longer exists and that only one or two people within the company know how it functions. Not to mention that these same systems are usually used to treat patients which means that they cannot be down for extended periods which adds a level of stress that many cannot handle. There are many more pros and cons but I would have to write a book to go over all of them.

Read a post on Reddit that because a company was bought out/merged so many times and teams replaced, some insane amount of complicated code that holds 2 million peoples’ health records is managed by 1 person in Canada.
