Hi, Asking on behalf of friend who has 2 offers, and whose visa expires in 2 months since he is being laid off from the current company Shopify and Tesla: Shopify - Backend engineer TC 150k Tesla - Software engineer TC 240k Is it a good time to join Tesla considering the recent news on hiring freeze and layoffs? Or should go with Shopify as safer choice? Also, is Shopify a safer choice than Tesla? YOE: 3 yrs. #engineering #software #swe #tesla #teslaoffer #teslalayoffs #shopify #tech #hiring #offer
There is no hiring freeze, and no layoffs planned. Communicated direct from our VP as result from that article. Not sure which is more worrisome, the amount of misinformation from "anonymous but reliable" sources feeding media and blogs and given credibility, OR the willingness of so many outlets to just pick up and amplify rumor based stories to their entire reader base effectively making FUD go viral just for the ad revenue it generates.
Thank you for the clarity.
Thank you for sharing inside of Tesla.
Your friend wants to work for that bat shit crazy billionaire
As far as I understand, he has crazy student loans to pay off, and need to support his family. Good money means, he can be financially independent soon. He is being laid off from current company, and has to find a job before Visa expires.
