:) The number of laid off techworkers that understand the juiciest parts of their former employers market that are now doing their own thing is significant. Layoffs will not help these tech giants. The political and technical structures inside of Big Tech are largely performative, vast swaths of these orgs have literally no skin in the game.

Nodding strongly in agreement as somebody who resigned Big Tech to start my own thing and hired remote first to get premium talent. That’s the other part of startups wanting remote - you get WAY more access to talent compared to a few years ago when remote-first was weird and scary. Likewise, Big Tech haven’t had to compete for so long they forgot the number one rule is to keep the talent happy. Personally, I’m a lot happier now than I was with a big fancy level at a Mega Co.
