Microsoft has made an offer to employees in USA, Canada, UK and India to take 2 months of salary is severance and voluntarily exit the company
Mind you this is the Microsoft that we are talking about

AI chips are costly
AI infra is expensive
Running AI takes a lot of energy
So to fund the AI cycle - employees are being cut left center right
Now if you are paying attention to things happening in tech
Whenever a major company makes any move
Peer companies follow the same route
So this is a warning that you should take seriously
Now what next?
See the job market is already very brutal
It is taking People anywhere from 4 months to more than an year to land their next job after they are laid off
And with this news thousands of good engineers are going to hit the already brutal job market
The least we can do is help each other via referrals
Please do that part
And for you own wellbeing please start preparing for a tough winter
