This might be obvious to many, but many people, especially many Googlers continue to live in the past. There are countless memes internally and on Blind that Google is not same. Ofc it’s not. We are showing every sign of slowing down company, you can compare it with Oracle, Yahoo. IBM etc., you will find more and more similarities now and in the future. Internally people are extremely delusional. Before Google announced layoffs, most people assumed they won’t happen in Google. No, Google isn’t going away anytime soon. Google is still a company with large cash reserves and it will continue to exist for decades, but you need to drop the expectation of high comp, faster promo, job security, wlb or better perks in the future.
IBM is service-based company, Google isn’t as bad as that
Agree, few more years till we get there.
Eww, is it really that bad huh ?
It’s at a critical juncture, don’t write it off yet.
this comment right here is exactly what I am talking about…
This article just popped up in my feed: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/06/google-tells-employees-that-fewer-of-them-will-get-promotions-to-senior-roles.html OP saying don't expect growth resonates with this announcement

It will gradually become Microsoft but still not IBM bad for at least 10 years
I think it will first become Microsoft, and then potentially IBM or stay as Microsoft if get lucky
LinkedIn-Microsoft or Microsoft-Microsoft? Blind says there a difference..
Why did you feel the need to abbreviate ‘of course’? Such lazy writing. 👎🏼
When was the last big successful internally project at Google?
Probably photos, but it does have over a billion DAUs
Growth can come from various avenues - launching new project is one, but incremental changes such as showing more ads, launching new phone, Youtube shorts, expanding cloud offerings and geographies can equally bring more growth, especially for a company of size Google. The major source of revenue has always been Search and that’s not growing as fast as in the past, and this is concerning for sure.

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
Google still provides lots of cool services for free. The impact is there
Free? Nothing is free.
They make profits, but at least you don’t have to pay them directly
