Google cut about 12,000 people in 2023 and started off 2024 with thousands more laid off from core engineering and hardware teams. Google declined to say how many employees have been impacted by the layoffs so far this year. Pichai said in the interview that Google is "reallocating people" to its "highest priorities." The cuts are an attempt to cut back on costs as it advances AI and ramps up efforts with a series of cloud advancements. Some of these include an Arm-based CPU, the general availability of TPU v5p, the new release of Gemini 1.5, and various changes to Google Workspace. Every companies giving the same reason when they laid off employees. Don’t know when companies stop this 🫤 What’s your thoughts on this ? #layoffs #google

2024 Tough Year for Tech Jobs: Suggestions for Companies & USCIS! In 2024, the tech job market has drastically shifted, posing significant challenges for new graduates who are now competing with more experienced professionals with large scale layoffs in Tesla, Cisco, PwC, Intel & more due to company restructuring and the rise of AI. New graduates in computer science and engineering fields in the US along with international students (the no's are insane), are entering a job market with over 124,000 tech workers laid off by mid-2024 alone adding to the already laid off tech workers in 2022 and 2023. With hardly any active tech job postings compared to the laid off professionals, the market is struggling to absorb both new graduates and experienced laid-off workers. This trend is expected to continue as more international students graduate next year. I am receiving an insane number of cold outreaches from recent grads as well as followers seeking job opportunities. Pressure on Visa Holders: For international students and visa holders, this situation is particularly scary. OPT-EAD holders have just 60 days to secure a job after graduation or termination. H1B visa holders face similar deadlines, risking their visa status due to the delays in the hiring process caused by the oversaturated job market. I request to companies who are hiring: Speeding up the hiring process: Companies should streamline phone screens, coding assessments, and interviews, offering timely updates at each stage to save candidate's valuable time. Be transparent about hiring timelines: Job descriptions should clearly state if the role is for immediate hiring or a candidate pipeline for future opportunity. This will help candidates make informed decisions whether to apply. I request USCIS to consider the following temporary measures to provide relief: Extend Visa Grace Periods: Temporarily extend visa grace periods for OPT-EAD and H1B employees who are laid off. Let's help both laid off job seekers and visa holders navigate the uncertainty of 2024. #layoffs #newgrads #techlayoffs 80-366

When I interviewed with Walmart for SWE-III position, I got this feedback from the interviewer after the HLD System Design round - "You are interviewing for an X-3 position. I have interviewed a lot of folks for X-4 and X-5 positions in the last couple of months. I wish everybody was as thorough as you were while explaining the systems." That was the moment when I knew I was in the right direction in my system design preparation. Before that, I didn't even know if I was even preparing the way it is supposed to be done. That was when I got to know there was no one way to go for System Design. As long as you can explain what you are doing, why you are doing and how you are doing, you cannot be wrong. I will talk about "How I prepared for the HLD round" in some other post.
