One of my friend in early 50’s joined in sales .
wonder if cloud is also why they seem to be hiring SRE like crazy
Are they making a dent in the market? I have friends at google tell me how well they are doing... and I’m like, dude have you seen your numbers?
Can’t read the article, but are they counting the contractors as ‘hires’? Google notoriously favor contractors. They are really expensive but ineffective.
Are you sure you’re talking about Microsoft?
Nope. Especially in marketing, biz ops, analytics/ds, sales.
Their capex is 25 billion ..
For comparison, how many did Facebook hire?
3k or so.. % wise, FB is growing a lot.
Google hire just few compare to its wealth. while they are one of the richest company, the benefits doesn’t come to millions of Americans who needs good jobs.
Bother to elaborate?
probably meaning google doesn’t directly hire thousands of warehouse workers
This makes me feel great today. I was rejected for GCP as a SWE in October. Over 20 years of experience, including 2 at Amazon, yet I can’t land 1 of 4000 positions. I give up.
So any of the FAANG hires IC of age 45 plus ? I keep reading online about the age discrimination ..how far the age discrimination is true in Bay Area ?
Still barely taking a slice off Amazon... well, maybe except bigquery
Why except bigquery?
Just observation a lot of folks moving to BQ.
