Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[JT-Money]

I used AI to build a military grade data deletion app. And I’m working on building an encrypted email software client using an algorithm I invented. All using AI. If I can do it, that’s a testament to Not needing as many actual software developers.

Only a small portion of these jobs going to non-citizens are for software developers. It's basically every job in the IT Department.

Meta, for example, had to shell out $13 million in 2021 to settle allegations that it discriminated against American applicants. It also includes Apple, which paid $25 million in 2023 to settle similar allegations.

IT has been oversaturated for decades. When call center jobs started getting outsourced to foreign companies, I knew it was only a matter of time before IT jobs started to disappear.

This is anecdotal, but I've been getting an uptick in calls and emails about jobs, granted they're mostly Indian "consulting" companies. The Fed is likely going to cut rates again starting next week as well, so perhaps companies may post real jobs soon.

We’ll see. Its supposed to only be like a .25 bullshyt type cut

The people interviewing in India probably couldn't cheat effectively like they usually do.

I got a friend who works abroad as an engineer in the same petro company I’m at… he hates it there/is home sick and so a couple years back he started on an associates degree in data analytics with the plan to get a remote job in that field and “eat” off that + his rental properties til the sun sets. He completed the degree but tells me he gets no call backs in job applications. Mind you he in his mid-40s with zero experience in DA, but he thinks it’s because he’s abroad and thinks if he quits and moves back to the states he’ll be picked up; feeling somewhat discouraged, he’s now working on an AWS cert in one of those fancy programs with a mentor or something

I be telling him

I’m half-tempted to send him a link to this thread

Your company hires American engineers to work overseas?

What country he in?

Talked a recent Harvard grad last week, and dude said he's unemployed for months and months. Can't even get a call back from warm leads.

That's a warning sign I think.

I couldn’t even get an interview from a company where a relative is a director and sent in my resume.

Google AI contractors laid off amid rising workplace tensions​

https://www.sfchronicle.com/tech/article/google-ai-contractors-layoffs-21051206.php

Many of the workers hold master’s degrees or doctorates and said they faced low pay, little job security and escalating pressure to meet strict performance targets. Some alleged the layoffs were tied to organizing efforts, including attempts to unionize with support from the Alphabet Workers Union.
