alot of people are saying it's just a dead cat bounce. REalVision presented that in most of the past drops of this magnitude, you typically see this type of rebound before it goes lower back to retest the recent lows.
not only that but in highly competitive markets like the bay area, they may even hold out for buyers that use one of their own agents (and try not to sell to others). That way, they can make 3% commission on both the buying and selling side. It's a huge conflict of interest to their own client which technically isn't legal ~ they're supposed to consider all offers.
As a consumer of Zillow and Redfin, I like their website. But, as a house buyer, I really dislike the fact that they always try to push their buyers Agents on you.
well, it depends on whether your in a high margin or low margin business or and whether or not your a monopoly business. Amazon, entertained many offers from many cities to find the best tax incentives.
I would imagine businesses that compete with low margins would be looking for such incentives.
To get people to move somewhere, you mainly just need jobs. Everybody wants jobs. There's no choice, people have to go where jobs are because employers have much more bargaining power.
So, create some large enough tax incentives for companies to move there, and people will follow.
It's important to remember a simple fact about artificial sugars: they're about 10 times less dense than sugar (at least the one i use, which is a combo of maltodextrin and sucralose). This means that 10g of sugar is sugar sweet equivalent of about 1g of artificial sweetener. Which means if you're switching your sweetener from sugar to artificial you're getting 10 times less sweetener! Which means, even if sugar and artificial sweeteners were equally bad for you gram for gram, you're still getting 10 times less of thus 10 times less bad for you.
are there unemployment statistics for software engineers? The overall unemployment statistics are probably way off from the subset of professionals and or software engineers.
Less than 5 years 41%
5-10 years 27%
10-15 years 14%
As you can see, there has been a massive supply increase of junior engineers (probably entering the industry). And this massive increase will in a few years result in a massive increase in senior engineers. Right now being a senior engineer is still a huge advantage but that will diminish quickly over time.
no, data analysts as in the ones who take data exports and excel files and turn them into meaningful insights. Analyzing retention for various cohorts, analyzing revenue, engagement, etc. Data analysts mostly use SQL and maybe some Python to extract insights.
data scientists is a step up from that, and typically requires a PHD and will utilize more sophisticated statistical models.
In the bay area, Non-engineers, like product managers, MBA types and data analysts, etc are having a really hard time finding work (sometimes taking 1 to 3 years to find their next job!) based on what I've seen in my circle of friends. (unless your in a specialization that's in high demand like User acquisition).
It's the senior engineers (5+ years) which have multiple emails from recruiters and are in really high demand, not so much junior engineers.
Look at the last StackOverflow dev survey: the number of devs with 0-5 years of experience is almost double the number of devs with 6-10 years. That means the number of senior engineers will be increasing very rapidly over the next 5 years. You can bet it's going to be much harder to get a job in about 5 years or so, layoff or not.
The real problem is that the people who decide to use the software are not the ones actually using it. This is the problem with top down decision making. And this is why enterprise software often sucks
We already have way too many people on the planet. if no one died, it would cause all our environmental problems, lack of wealth problems to multiply.
Actually, I think we need to get our population down to a much lower level where we're not stressing our the planet and not stressing the limited resources we have. politically speaking, we just can't handle this many people on the planet.
Yup. I absolutely agree. this is exactly why tesla is not on the top of my to buy list.
it's about total cost of ownership. All it takes is a couple of bad door handles (1500$ each) and a broken drive unit (10K$) and now your total cost 16K, just in repairs! if depreciation is roughly 15K over 10 years, then the cost of ownership doubles!
It's misleading because the rich that they're talking about already paid a much higher rate when they originally got the money in earnings. It's just the 2nd round of taxation: the capital gains which is lower, as it should be.
And that's not even including 2nd order effects. When you go to spend it, your costs are much higher because part of what you're paying is someone else's really high tax rates. IE: the plumber has to charge you 300$/hr instead of just 200$/hr.
