Or you're good, pragmatic, and riding out the storm. You can be a new guy at a tech company who will likely layoff or you can continue to do good work as an established employee who may get a hefty severance.
The hyperbole is a little much. Meta is pouring a ton of money into the Metaverse and facing some headwinds with regulatory and Apple's ATT concerns but they aren't even close to hemorrhaging money. Last year (one of…
Sure they would. They may be known but known to a niche group of people which may limit their success. Carmack is a self proclaimed hermit but he's been in the public eye for decades (through conventions, speeches, etc)…
There's a big difference between stock options and RSUs. Nobody became millionaires off RSUs unless they started at Tesla <2018. I'm not convinced everyone at Tesla is offered options.
Amazon has been cutting a handful of their growing businesses aswell. Take for example Amazon Care. That team tripled in size YoY and was disbanded right before these layoffs. A growing business also needs a clear path…
From what I've heard Amazon had laxed their URA targets during the peak pandemic years. This is likely the correction for this.
Well summarized. I think a lot of people forget how anti-productive many working environments were before the pandemic. My employer at the time had us working in a retrofitted warehouse as software developers. Huge…
It's not just the save file in games like this, it's also all of the virtual currencies users paid real world money for. If someone has played 6k hours on RDR2 they likely bought a LOT of in-game currency and other…
You say that like these well established tech companies (like Google) haven't already optimized the employee counts and employee salaries needed to produce the (current) best ROI and also figuring for future company…
Very team dependent and dependent on the scope of your production systems (E.g. is Amazon.com dependent on it or is it some random downstream system). There are countless teams at Amazon that get paged 20+ times a week.
Speaking strictly in software, they're still competitive but you'll likely have to negotiate with competing offers to get top dollar. Base salary caps around ~160k in non-Bay or NYC areas. You'll get a competitive…
