Monthly Software Engineer hires of top 20 US AI companies

The US To Become A Net Exporter Of AI Talent In 2025 | Zeki Data

By 2025, the U.S, historically a magnet for top-tier global talent in artificial intelligence (AI), is poised to become a net exporter of professionals with advanced expertise in AI.

zekidata.com

Monthly software engineer hires by the U.S’ top 20 AI companies once exceeded 3,000. Now, that rate has dropped to zero as organisations increasingly automate software development processes.

The result? Companies no longer face the capacity gaps they once relied on international talent to fill. With fewer job opportunities in the U.S, talent from overseas are less incentivised to stay, further amplifying the drain of talent.

This builds a concerning narrative for global talent seeking entry into the US market. If opportunities dwindle, international professionals will increasingly direct their expertise to markets that actively encourage talent inflows.

May 9 (Reuters) - Google agreed to pay $50 million to settle a lawsuit accusing the search engine company of systemic racial bias against Black employees.
A preliminary settlement covering more than 4,000 Google employees in California and New York was filed on Thursday evening in the Oakland, California federal court, and requires a judge's approval.

Plaintiffs in the proposed class action said Google has a "racially biased corporate culture" where management steers Black employees to lower-level jobs, pays them less, downgrades their performance ratings and denies them opportunities to advance.

Sometimes I wonder if other fields have to go through the shenanigans IT has to offer.

Nothing to be angry about. Sales has always been an industry with a lot of upside that requires no experience and has no barrier to entry other than persistence.

The whole industry is basically one big charm offensive. Personally, I don't buy the argument that she's doing well in sales because of her looks because that whole industry is biased towards men who can leverage our male-only social connections to get clients. Women are inherently a disadvantaged because the good old boys clubs lock them out. (Cigar lounges, country clubs, gaming clubs, golf courses, rotary clubs, mason groups, other male groups, etc)



More tech Bros would do it, but we are risk averse by nature so the idea of commissions doesn't sit well with most of us. I've actually heard the same complaints from the medical community. I have a lot of docs in my family in and a common complaint I hear from them is they had to sacrifice whole decades of their life for training and must still work 60 hours a week to make 400k, while the pharmaceutical sales and medical equipment sales people can make the exact same amount working 40 hour weeks just visiting offices and talking with glib tounge

American Companies Are Offshoring High-Paying, Remote-Friendly Jobs​

American Companies Are Offshoring High-Paying, Remote-Friendly Jobs | Revelio Labs

Salesforce just announced a major layoff to its Bay Area workforce. At the same time, the company has shifted its employee base increasingly to international talent over the past 5 years. Salesforce is not alone: US-headquartered multinational enterprises that employ workers both abroad...

www.reveliolabs.com

US-based employers expanded employment abroad faster than domestically for the past 7 years. This is particularly pronounced among Tech and Consulting firms.

Highly remote-suitable roles have grown 42% faster outside the US than within the US since 2019, while there is no difference in growth rates for roles that are not remote-suitable.

Cost saving considerations play another large role for offshoring. For every 10% reduction in foreign worker salaries compared to average US salaries for the same role, employment outside the US grew 13.1 percentage points faster than within the US.
