Laid Off From FAANG, What’s Next? The Case For Optimism

[@kingnick6260]

Laid off from a FAANG? You could always fundraise for a Layer 1 Blockchain since dumb VC money is still being thrown left & right at former employees (Aptos & Sui)

respect the hustle

[@bananesalee7086]

are they laying off mostly in california ? consequently, does that mean we should go to california to hire/join the supposed startups ?

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

Majority of layoffs are in California, but that's mostly a function of the majority of employees being in California

Would love to see a collab between you and Java Brains!

Have some suggestions for me I want to become ai engineer so how can I contribute to open source and is it necessary to do PhD for ai engineer?

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

A PhD is almost never necessary, and I think this will become increasingly true

[@wilhem7206]

I was an amazon applied scientist with just a master's so it's possible. Not common but very doable.

But it will far more difficult for people on H1B visas though..

[@recursion.]

H1Bs need to go back, build the country and stop living under fear in foreign nation.

I was waiting for when you would mention Taro…

Not in this video 🤣

good take on it. my only concern is that it's the entire economy. money used to be cheap now it's expensive. you're gonna have a tough time getting your startup funded. better to look for a job and build out the side projects instead and wait for investment when the economy comes back up after the elections in 2024 and we have some better monetary policy.

Bruhh. You missed your Segue to JoinTaro? 😂
