      Investment banks are still hiring like crazy but they tend to churn through people you can’t really survive in one long term cos they quite literally grind people into dust. My place hasn’t hired a single new person since 2020 and our team has only seen cuts and its hitting breaking point but theyre having fun seeing how few people are needed to run the team it seems.

      If we ask for new people the answer is always offshore. But only for tech people, project managers get replaced instantlythonk

    This isn’t an Israel exclusive thing, it’s an everywhere thing. With the end of COVID lockdowns and the introduction of AI, getting a job in the IT industry or even just software development is much more difficult than before.

      This graph is amazing to me because my leadership at my job, during all of 2022-2024 was LAYING PEOPLE OFF and saying “oh it’s time to cut costs” while everyone else was expanding. Today, it’s not like they’re doing the inverse of everyone else and hiring. nope they’re still laying people off.

    So everyone want to take a bet that he’s one of the 3 Israelis who acknowledge the state of Palestine and not a settler living in the West Bank on land soaked in barely dried blood? ( I guess they could be a Palestinian in Israel proper, but if that’s the case there’s a reason no one in Israel is hiring you buddy)

    it feels pretty much the same in silicon valley as well… layoffs are still continuing and new jobs are paying less and less
