Just an FYI here: Google's community support forums aren't well named as their intended purpose is for users to answer other user's questions. For the community to support each other.
For actual support you need a paid account to reach out to.
You could argue that it's badly named and should just be called Google's community forum instead, which is what it really is.
Google famously underpays as it leverages it's name. Startups can't really compete on total compensation because so much is tied to equity which can be made liquid in the case of big tech. At the same time, startups don't want to give away their equity and are fairly conservative about it. I don't see this changing. The current situation will resolve itself in 1-2 yrs and we will be back again.
Is it though? He hasn't really moved the needle for Google at all other than capitalizing on growth laid out by his predecessors. Satya is far more admired for his accomplishments comparitivly.
I don't understand why the disgruntled companies don't simply band together and remove their apps from Apple until Apple complies? Apple is as reliant on their third party apps for their ecosystems as much as the inverse.
Switching every two years is a red flag for employers and is called out during hiring in many companies.
Every 3-4 years seems to indicate a better uptick in interest / offers in my experience. Otherwise the concern from many Hiring Managers is: I'm going to invest my time and effort (~6 mos) in training, and that will be lost very quickly.
In my view a promotion is every 3-4 years as well (although it can be faster) at the FAANG companies. If someone is able to get a promo, that is the best time to start looking. It establishes that the individual is on an upwards trajectory so it makes it easier to hire them and convince others if the company is committee based on hiring decisions.
Trimming the fat can be used to also be net zero in employment loss. E.g. cutting projects that are not going to make money and reinvest the effort from Engineers into extending more impactful (profitable?) products.
