Yes. One of the two.

A counter balance: Mine has been fine. I spent 6 years at Meta and was laid off. I found a better paying position and started last month. I interviewed everywhere. Google was a tough slog, I had 3 recruiters laid off while I was team matchi

Can someone help me move away from Audible? I have about 20 titles that I've downloaded over the years and enjoy downloading and re-listening to. What's the best audiobook solution I can use so that I can cancel my subscription?

Apologies; I wasn't very serious in my previous comment. I'm not sure how layoff algorithms work, but it is most likely polynomial. Firing people would be linear/sub-linear but candidate selection is probably a bit heavier. M

For anyone experiencing depression right now, this video helped me immensely at one point in my life [0]. CBT has also changed my life; I highly recommend the book 'Feeling Good'[1]. [0] - https://www.youtube.com/w

I would be surprised if that wasn't explicitly written into her employment contract.

I think it's unimpressive engineering wise (minus all that Meta does for scale, which we already knew about). I think the business execution and marketing is what's impressive.

Instagram does not have 3/4 billion daily active users. It's about 500 million daily active users, 2 billion monthly [0]. [0] - https://backlinko.com/instagram-users

What do you mean? I'm not sure I get the reference.

I wonder how much this will cannibalize Instagram's engagement-share and thus eat away at Instagram's margins due to lack of ads. By going to Threads, I feel like I've sort of checked off that "I've visited Instagra

Facebook was highly exclusive when it first launched. That same company made Threads. I don't know if Facebook would have been as popular if it had not leveraged scarcity.

You can filter the results on levels.fyi. New offers going back a few years are less than 7 figures (even including sign-on bonus).

by Panini_Jones 3y ago
Why does levels.fyi say US$542,547 for E6? I count only 6 figures.

Their superbowl commercial was a depressed old dog that put on a headset and became happy, wasn't it? Or was that black mirror...

by Panini_Jones 3y ago
The 'trust' factor may play into it too. For years, we've seen Meta and Apple bicker about privacy. I don't think this was just for fun; I think this was for the upcoming headset war we're going to witness. Do you t

> AI is a great pivot. What is the "pivot", exactly?

by Panini_Jones 4y ago
I had a company use this as a scare tactic, I think. They emailed me with an "update on my offer" only to make me wait an entire day for them to say that a lot of other people were accepting their offers and that I should hurry up

There's a narrative being pushed (I don't know if anyone is intentionally pushing it, but you can see it recently). These recruiters have been in many news articles and the circumstances make you understand why they weren't d

The recruiter was hired at the beginning of the hiring freeze in 2022 when the storm was setting in. What did she expect to work on before they cut her contract?

Brilliantly, they're probably profiting further from this analysis of their "typo domain" investment.

I don't think it makes sense to make a HN post with the title "Another Round of GitHub Layoffs" based on this tweet.

Unclear. The author's LinkedIn states that they were laid off in March 2023 in Seattle (so not a deferred EU layoff, haven't hit end of WA state WARN yet).
