6M at 60k spend means you have won the game a few times over. Go live your life and stop living in fear. You won’t get another one.

Without knowing specifics like your current skillset, experience, location, income requirements it’s hard to provide advice.

But there isn’t a finite amount of work. If we can do something with less then we should be able to do significantly more with more by applying the same optimizations.

It might be able to identify a unique user but not the user personally. I think there’s also a fairly broad margin of error in how accurate it can identify a unique user.

I have a non technical bachelor’s degree and work at faang as a senior engineer and have been offered to move into staff. I think being curious, always learning, being likable and good at interviewing (leetcode and sys design) don’t need a

I’ve been working 4 days a week informally for a decade. Everyone checks out on Fridays with the exception of the rare fire. I suspect it’s the same for other information workers.

The post isn’t asking our opinions of TA but rather for those that use TA to provide feedback. There’s obviously a market and this provides a product for that market similar to creating an app for astrologers.

I already work 4 days a week. Friday essentially is such a slow day with no meetings that is virtually optional. Been this way in several companies in the US including at big tech companies that are not known for wlb. 25% cut sounds like a

The parent comment I’m replying to has a man with a high school aged kid. By that point I’d expect substantial savings.

If you’ve been working in the valley for 25 years then you should have substantial savings to not fear a payoff every 5 years.

What I don’t get is not having investments/cash to hold you over for a year or even 2. Whitecollar jobs pay well and I’d expect most people to have earned quite a bit in the dot com frenzy.

I haven’t seen anyone get laid off due to ai but maybe we don’t hire as many contractors to deal with some work that is now much easier due to the intelligent automation. Perhaps leadership is factoring this into their headcount decisions n

How many hedge funds are there? A few thousand? How many beat the s&p? Of those how much can be attributed statistically to skill rather than luck?

At big tech companies we are embedding ai into all layers of our workflow. And it’s accelerating.

You don’t really have to rise up the ranks to make 500k. That’s a competitive offer for a senior engineer or where a senior with a mediocre offer will end up with stack refreshers and stock appreciation in a couple of years withouts any pro

Well they’re all employed and given they chased hype they probably are in a tech hub and therefore I’d expect them to be earning above median for their cohort and still working on interesting stuff. How many of these assumptions are wrong?

You are assuming it’s well paying.

Curious how this works out financially though. Following the crowd got people into faang with 500k incomes. Working on something obscure I haven’t seen payoff the same.

This doesn’t mesh with my experience. I work at big tech co that went through massive rounds of layoffs. The criteria was a mixed bag. A lot of it was just entire products and associated teams being dismantled. Also, one can make the argume
