UX/UI designer

Sam's firing was so abrupt and sudden, it shocked the whole world, but even more shocking is him joining Microsoft. 
I don't know what's gonna happen to Open AI but Microsoft is gonna be the most influential TECH-GIANT
Well played Satya.

What does Sam's joining Microsoft means for Open AI?

In a race to AGI, Tech giants are prioritizing compute over hiring techies. 

Google also plans to spend 25 billion $ to build one zettaflops (1000 exaflops) of compute....  

Tesla plans to have compute of around 100 exaflops by around October 2024...

Same case with Microsoft.

Meta to operate "600000 H100 GPU equivalents of compute" worth 18 billion $ by year-end for open source AGI. This explains cost cutting by tech giants.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Atleast not in the form it is now. Found a rare good post on LinkedIn via Twitter which lists the reason why i think so. Also, I was reading psychology of money and one of the chapters discussed how GE used to be the most valued company in 2000s and how within 20 years, everything went to manhole.

Google is seriously going through a leadership crisis. I hate Pichai from the gut. We Indians like him coz he's brown munda, but I have never seen such narrow minded CEO since Balmer.

Hot Take: Google will not exist in next 30 years

As I am currently 26,
Till now I have 4 years experience in a startup and I recently joined Amazon as System development engineer 2.
My goal is simple, after 30 I want to stick to a good company which will give me recognition, promotion, competitive salary and work life balance.
I want to stick to an organization for maybe 10 years and want to reach a higher position along with company growth.

Can any one suggest to me which top companies I should target next after a couple of years.

Which FAANG company is best for the long term.

Mcap vs GDP comparison.

Tata group is 1st conglomerate to hit 30 lac crore mark... ahead of ril, adani, godrej, and Mahindra etc.

India Business News: NEW DELHI: The combined market capitalization of Tata Group companies is now larger than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Pakistan.

At over $365 billion, Tata Group now bigger in size than Pakistan's GDP - Times of India

Tata Group > Pakistan Economy

Just an open ended question on why are layoffs happening on such a scale. I personally feel the skill to salary ratio has fucked up so much lately that the companies are having to fire people who are essentially useless to them. More of liabilities than just assets! What do you think?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Curious to know how much people end up earning in the long run. While there is a lot of buzz around current salaries in these threads, from a financial planning pov wanted to understand how salaries grow over time. Does a plateau come in percentage hike? Anyone who knows and can share some trajectories of people at 25-30-35-40-44

Salaries at the age of 40-50

Every month my salary gets credited I barely spend 20% of it the rest of it is just sitting around in my bank account it's already above 5L. I keep thinking of investing it in stocks/mf but it's a lot of work 😔 

What do you guys do with your salary, it would be great if you can share your investment strategy and how do you keep yourself motivated to stick to it

Microsoft is most valued firm!!!
