Fruit co in SD
Every three month or so theres this rumor about fruit co. coming south to SD. Latest rumor says they are already here and operate in stealth mode. Can anyone prove this somehow? Otherwise will assume its another baseless rumor in a different setting.

Young ppl should flee away ASAP
No hope to stay in this rotten place. Most jobs will be transfer to India in 10 years. You will be throw into trash bin once you finish your teaching role. Look at the super top heavy structure. The chance you can grow like none.

Thinking joining a small hw company here in SD
Company future is questionable, might find myself out searching the market in a year or two. Opportunity seems interesting enough to consider for new experience and development. Should i insist they match my current pay? Would they even do that?... — read more
No job postings?
Seriously? Frozen? Bad omen
IT Management
Amazing even after last round of layoffs targeting IT Management the majority of remaining managers are equally terrible and unqualified for their jobs. No respect for this place. QCOM IT is a mess and good people in IT need to leave.
Because of 5G innovation can Q make it to FANG?
Can Q submit a request for inclusion?
ASIC companies in San Diego

If you could choose any three

I was insulted by other team members, how to report to HR
Q people, i was insulted by other team members in every sync up meeting. Can anyone tell me what should I do and where should I report? Really need to know this. I can not bear it any more. Thank you guys
