- Still a good company on paper with competitive comp, great benefits, and well positioned in the current shift to AI-focused technologies - Still has a lot of great people that are both incredibly talented and kind
The current climate of economic scarcity and aggressive shifts to AI is forcing Google to make some hard choices. I don't think it's that Google has fundamentally changed, but that it's shifted from a "peace time" state to a "war time" mentality. The problem with this shift is that those who thrive in war time mindsets are gaining influence and are likely to impact long term culture. There are still a lot of wonderful and resilient leaders in Google who are fighting for the culture, but they're burning out as business demands continue to mount.
In an interesting turn of events, Google invested $300 million in the ChatGPT rival startup, Anthropic. This actually happened back in late 2022 but hasn’t come to light until now. I am curious why Google can’t develop this internally. There are brilliant teams, such as Google Brain and DeepMind. ...Read more
At MSFT we choose which brokerage firm/account we want our vested shares to be deposited into. We can choose either Fidelity or Vanguard. Is there something similar at Google? Thanks! #google #gsu #stocks
At Microsoft there is an internal investment club where people can discuss anything regarding personal finance and investing. Is there a simar DL at Google? #personalfinance #investments #google
This is the first time in multiple years I see extreme weakness and grim outlook in Microsoft when stocks like g fb are popping. I think it is the end of Azures run with enterprises, multi billion $ strategic but wasteful investments in openai and nothing capturing or remarkable to show. Wall Stree...Read more
With SoftBank potentially buying out existing Uber Shareholders and Google investing into Lyft, will Google fully exit their Uber stake in the process?
I am planning to invest heavily on Google, I will need the money in 5years, do you think Google is a good investment? From what I see, the big thing that can drive stock up is self driving cars. For the rest I dont see any growth in Ads or devices.
I've been with Google (Meta previously for 1.5 years) as PM for 2 years now. Total 12+ years of PM experience. Current Google TC is ~500K. I got an offer from an investment firm where first year TC will be $950K due to upfront stock buyout, but it will drop to ~470K/year after the first year. After ...Read more
Rest and vest culture will kill the company. They also flaky as fuck and can’t commit to a product. The Google application grave yard is massive and GCP will be another addition soon. Their lack of results shows they can’t compete against AWS with a rest and vest culture. Nobody wants to do busines...Read more
If you want to invest in big tech companies in the next 5 years, which one would you choose? Why?
Please describe why in the comments. The goal is long-term investment (10+ years)
We can still invest in Google or Apple, but I wonder with a market cap of 2T, how much can they go in 10 years? Or can it really go to 10T? But probably not to 30T like before. Are there some companies that may be able to do as well as Apple, Google, Amazon, or Facebook for the past 10 years? TC...Read more
Do Google even care about his 6B. Seems very low for a trillion dollar company https://fortune.com/2023/01/23/christopher-hohn-rishi-sunak-old-boss-tci-fund-management-letter-to-alphabet-sundar-pichai/ After receiving his letter, Sundar is like, alright, let's fire another 10k
Heard something like me median net worth is $10m. Why are y'all not retiring? ONLY NVIDIA EMPLOYEES CAN VOTE!!! TC: 200k, net worth 400k #nvda #nvidia #stocks #investments #google #amazon #microsoft #facebook #meta #apple

I don’t invest much so certainly have little to no knowledge about what to buy, when to buy, etc etc. But given the recent lawsuit against Apple and Google not having particularly the best time, is this the right time to invest in them? Especially since Apple maybe potentially using Gemini AI in th...Read more

Multiple round of layoffs, Microsoft/Google racing ahead with AI in cloud and while Amazon (so called Alexa pioneer) cuts Alexa investments and literally nothing to show. Retail is going to be in the drain given the economy. Heck even my Amazon fresh free delivery requires 3x $150 cart value now. ...Read more
