What a shame.

From the article: "In the U.S., hybrid demand significantly exceeds production capacity, leading to tight inventories at dealerships, Miyazaki said."

I'll further my point about hybrid being such a low-hanging, realistic solution.

The core technology has been there since the late 90s. Every single major manufacture can quickly produce them. This doesn't have to be just daily family cars, the luxury market (Ferrari) and the 4x4 segment can also take advantage of this. There is already a hybrid Tundra available.

Lets take London for e.g. there are about 2.5 Million cars, lets assume if all of all them were to be hybrid, you would have SIGNIFICANT reduction in fuel consumption and costs to the owners, without ANY lifestyle change. You are not giving anything up as there is something available for everyone's taste.

No range anxiety.

I seriously do not understand why governments don't take this seriously.

Easy is some ways and really really hard in others. The stress will shave a few years off.

For a lot of people, a job in big tech is the way to go.

Whatever you decide to start, 80% of your time will be dedicated to sales, marketing, and biz dev, so make sure you like these activities.

Good points but these are just surface level news that I was aware of. I am talking about internal business decisions.

Additionally the industry is big and global, both horizontally and vertically.

Much bigger than just Big Tech.

For e.g. AWS lay offs does not give a full picture of that sector as investment in data center real estate is hot in certain markets. However many are cautious about new big projects this year.

I completely understand where you're coming from but for a better future, try to fight through it for at least a year or two. Such is life, work is work. Not all of it is glamourous.

You are very early into your career and in a pretty great spot. Don't waste it.

Big tech experience will open a lot of opportunities for you and this includes non-career or financial opportunities.

You should still continue with your pet projects. Remember we underestimate what can be achieved in a year.

Wish you all the best!

This is so true and really sad. Their bias was really appalling, downright revolting during the recent Elections in Turkey.

As a life rule now, I look for and only read independent work, and I suggest you do the same. This is the only way now.

Newsletters and reader-supported Journalists/Authors. Personal blogs of some economists and business reporters. Podcasts.

You'd be surprised but there are some really good Finance/business info on Twitter (X), basically people in the frontlines of the industry giving you pure, fluff-free information, the "FinTwit" community is pretty active.

Hope this helps!

There are enough GoDaddy horror stories online for people to stay 6 feet away from them. Quite fascinating its still a thriving business...

Congratulations Jim!

I have seen this subscription-based design concept pop up a lot lately but as an agency, interesting to see you do this as an individual designer.

How insane and most probably against some human rights laws. Plus, the whole population narrative has now been turned on its head. Most developed countries are now going through irreversible population decline, which will cause some of the most violent social upheaval (see France pension protests).

You are talking about two different goals. Yes, stay if you want to climb the corporate ladder but if you want to maximize income then one must jump ship. Some people are just not cut out for the corporate route so moving is good advice. These are the people that just transition to starting their own companies in their 30s/40s or consulting.
