Payment is either broken or a scam. Unsure. It gives what looks like a stripe error. Payment processor is on a Somalian domain and the contact page links to a Nigerian twitter account. Payment company claims to be Belgian. Both this site and the payment site domains have private whois info. Very suspect.
I worked for the Watson group. It was largely a marketing play which did land with some enterprises but is ultimately a failure because the tech was not there.
Moveworks | Mountain View, CA | ONSITE or REMOTE (some positions)
We're instant help at work. An AI chatbot solution that integrates with the chat system a company already uses (slack, teams, gchat, etc) to provide help for IT, HR, Finance, and other questions and issues. We automatically resolve several types of IT tickets to free up support agents from mundane tasks.
We're considering remote for some roles and probably hiring for many positions that aren't even listed on the website yet. If you have any interest, apply and talk a recruiter about what you're looking for.
I'm not sure that IBM leadership really understands what direction they want to go. They seem to pivot all-in on a tech sector and then abandon it a few years later. Rinse and repeat. It was AI/Watson, then a cloud platform, now its "hybrid cloud" because they can't compete with the established cloud providers. What will be the all-in bet next week? I also have to mention their strategy of trying to cut their way to prosperity.
I do a bunch of of XML/XSLT work still. I use XPATH 1.0 basically everyday. It's also awesome for web scraping. Overall, it's a great tool that doesn't get a ton of exposure.
> Living somewhere expensive (within your country) seems like a lifestyle choice like any other.
Right. I'm really looking to be able to drive a Tesla and vacation several times a year on remote tropical islands. Should my company pay me more for that choice?
This is great news. I wish worker pay was more based on the value they provide versus where they decide to live. If you're making $200k in the valley and you decide to move to Ohio, why are you suddenly worth less to the company? If everyone goes remote you no longer have to live in a high cost of living area. If you choose to that's on you.
Not only will they save money on office space but many of these companies are requiring employees to take pay cuts if they move to a lower cost area. Like all the sudden your value to the company changes because you moved?
> But if you're single, staying cooped up alone at home can be a disaster.
During COVID I would say this is more of a problem but in my 8 years of remote work I don't really miss the office at all. In normal times you can get out if you want to head to a coffee shop or something. We do video calls which seems to help some of the team members feel better about the situation. Having a commute was absolutely the most stressful thing for me.
I do most of my socializing outside of working hours. Being alone and remote doesn't seem to effect me but I'm also super introverted. I understand this may effect extroverts differently.
> which is problematic for building teams and culture;
Why? I've been remote for about 8 years. I don't think I've had any problems building relationships. The only thing you miss from the office is the time spent screwing around with co-workers. I guess you could consider that "Team building".
I think that's what they attempted to do with Watson and Watson Health, but it didn't take off the way they were hoping. It seems like they were early in the "AI" space.
Speaking as a former IBMer. I understand IBM wanting to be a player in the cloud space but I'm not sure they ever will be. Like who seriously uses IBM Cloud? I know some big corps probably accidentally get IBM cloud credits with their large IBM contracts but does anyone actually choose IBM in this space?
