what are the data analysts saying? are they able to use it any better than the execs?
It’s pretty much unusable. You can’t just slap an LLM on our data. It would need a ton of prompt engineering of SQL for each scenario or a vector db. Neither of which seem to work for us right now (Fortune 100 company). honestly over time sure, but this reads like someone gave an exec a screenshot and they immediately said when can i have this
I found a new group in Tech to hate on.@null tell me this isn’t the biggest confirmation that openai is a grift

Tech companies are paying up to $200,000 in premiums for AI experience, report finds
Tech companies are paying up to $200,000 in premiums for AI experience, report finds
A consulting firm found that tech companies are "strategically overpaying" recruits with AI experience, paying premiums of $200,000 for some roles.
www.businessinsider.com
The report, compiled from a compensation analysis of roles across 153 companies, showed that data scientists and analysts with machine learning skills tend to receive a higher premium than software engineers with the same skills. However, the consulting firm also tracked a rise in bonuses for lower-level software engineers and analysts.

Yup with my wife and newborn baby.
They truly don't care. They have priced it into their risk models.
My prior company was a huge financial firm with lots of sensitive , personally identifying information on clients. The risk, compliance, and legal departments took pride in having an insurance policy for breaches from hiscox. Their shareholder losses , legal suits against them , and the cost of identity protection for the affected parties are covered. The infosec team was more of a formality so they could say they tried their best, while maximizing profit elsewhere.
You could argue that the image of the company would be damaged even though the financial losses were covered. But we tended to be a lender of last resort , almost like Capital One. So our client base didn't have a choice by the time they were considering us. It's actually kind of funny, that there was a consensus among rank-and-file employees that our are ethics and risk team were low-key evil

Not going lie this had me consider cybersecurity again, just seeing what ahead…..Cybersecurity pros won't be left out of the AI gold rush after all. You can always count on coders to ignore security best practices.
The problem is only certain industries take security serious enough to pay high salaries. Unless it's a highly regulated industry expect to get lowballed.

I should've been fired 20x as many times I've said the same thing. To upper management no less.

Job tried to keep me with a counteroffer, I decided to decline. I am trading guaranteed stability for the unknown but I am desperate for some work life balance.
They can never fess up to anything. That's why I always have proof before confronting them. As soon as they try feeding me a line of bullshyt I cut them off quick.
