What are they so optimistic about in such a negative market ? Amd is hiring considering that Intel is losing market share in data center so they are increasing the costs. But I don’t understand reason behind such a huge hiring in Samsung. Can someone throw light on this ? #hardware #Samsung #AMD #Qualcomm #Nvidia
If talking about nonfab roles, Maybe just backfilling attrition? They also have their own products to vertically integrate with. You always have to have something new to sell consumers every year and they have everything from phones and tv’s to fridges and washing machines.e
May be but consumer market itself is on back step right now. So it just doesn’t justify the hiring they are doing.
If things doesn’t workout for Samsung then they will also start mass layoff. And same cycle repeats.
By your logic no company should be hiring right now because most are affected by the same macros. Reality is there is always some open roles that need to be filled
Most of the consumer electronics companies are highly affected by macroeconomic conditions that’s why they moved to hiring freeze even though they have various open positions. And my question is Samsung which is hugely dependent on consumer electronics is hiring extensively in various teams. So I was wondering what were they considering as parameter that they are immune to the macro economic conditions
And my logic works perfectly most of the companies as well 😉. Check hardware roles there is huge demand to hire but not enough people and with macro economic conditions lot of companies closed their requisitions
Stay away from non-US companies like Samsung. Heard from multiple sources/ shitty culture, you will hate your job in a few months. Your manager will treat you like a slave - no personal space.
Absolutely 💯 true
I work here and don't see that at all. The only bad thing is sometimes I have a meeting at 6pm to accomodate the Korean teams.
Because we are investing in new technologies and products. We are expanding our data center offerings to include RISC-V chips and new memory technologies around data center and AI use cases. Sure, the maco situation isn't great, but we still have to innovate. Also in Montreal, we have a huge collaboration with Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio to help drive our AI strategy. Lots of broader things coming from Samsung beyond consumer electronics.
That makes sense.
We're not a tech company.
Do you think Samsung is safe from layoffs?
I don't think we'll have the layoffs we're seeing in other companies, but smaller ones, for sure.
Qualcomm practically confirms Galaxy S23 series to finally ditch Exynos chips everywhere For a while, we have been hearing rumors about Samsung ditching the Exynos chips it uses for its flagship Galaxy phones outside the US, but now, it is practically confirmed that the Galaxy S23 family will come with a Snapdragon chip everywhere. Qualcomm CFO Akash Palkhiwala confirmed the news when answering a question during the recent investor call
Samsung top tier phone never used exynos in US and recently not other places as well. But there are other mobile variants that do use it along with other businesses like IOT and upcoming markets. This might be 1 reasons they want to grow.
I recently interviewed with Samsung who is working on the exynos chips. They mentioned they have a very good roadmap. I think snapdragon will still be used in US
Samsung can fund exynos development as economy is well. When they will have economic pressure exynos will be gone first. This happened in the past.
Samsung building new Fab in Texas, will be in production next year.
