Earlier quoted context omitted.

2014 was basically peak ZIRP and startup era. I don’t think this could be replicated today. I know way too many people from Google/Meta layoffs who are still looking despite willing to take pay cuts, just to keep the lights on.

I agree, the market is indeed challenging at the moment. Thankfully, I'm in a more stable position now. Despite not actively seeking out opportunities, I still received 4 remote job offers at the beginning of 2023 (or was it late 2022, I forget). These offers weren't particularly thrilling, and I even left one of the jobs after a month. Regarding Meta, they are actively hiring. I had an offer from them in January 202…

>Being based in the SFBA, I have a strong preference for remote work

I would assume the opposite since meta is also based in sfba. If you were based in New Mexico instead this would make sense.

Trucking is not bad, if you could do it good enough (I mean health reasons, not all people capable, for example many truck drivers I know, have issues with alcohol, because too much stress on roads). But I think, even if AI grow will be moderate from now, we could not avoid autonomous trucks (4 level of autopilot, as defined in wikipedia) in nearest 5 years, and I think, in 2030s, autonomous trucks will literally eat…

i've thought about that, trucking could be vulnerable to AI in the next few years...but after Starsky closed, I dunno. Lots of AV shops are kinda in doubt, but we'll see. thanks for the advice.

BTW, about AV shops, even more interest thing happening - I hear, after just cup of years mass production Tesla EV's, appeared huge demand on EV mechanics.
