I am not laid off but I am looking. There is a lot less jobs available. The ones on LinkedIn are all old job posts being refreshed and don’t exist anymore. I was finally able to get 1 interview with Google because I reached out to the sa

Exactly this. And if the company has corporate clients, they are one LinkedIn search away from the client wanting to distance themselves from an employee that was part of the another fraudulent company. Especially, if you are a dealing wit

If you worked for Google, does it help you find your next job? The opposite is also true. Branding can go both ways. And most people aren’t web devs at FTX. They are an online exchange, they hire system programmers.

Those employees are going to have a hard time finding a new job. No one is going to want to touch anyone related to FTX. Not even crypto bros. And him using the word family should have been a red flag. He ruined their careers knowingly

There is already very little growth left at Google. If the talent leaves, I believe Google will start a long term downward trend. I am not doubting Google employees are overpaid, but that’s the only way to keep them there at this point.

Couldn’t agree more. I also really like his idea of apps. Micro services introduces operational complexity and overhead. Most of the time, I see teams using it by default that really should be a monolith.

Good people can still do evil things. Should someone not face the repercussions simply because they are a good person? This is in reply to those letters and not your position.
