Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

Why Teradata Still Feels Like a Safe Bet for SWEs

Teradata is a legit great spot if you're a SWE who actually wants to build real stuff instead of constantly refreshing LinkedIn for the next round of layoffs.

You get to work on massive data systems that actually matter to big companies, not some half-baked startup that burns through cash and then ghosts half the eng team. The tech is solid, the problems are hard in a good way, and they're not out here treating engineers like disposable headcount every time the market dips.

Compensation is competitive, the work-life balance is better than the usual grind, and you can actually grow without wondering if your job is safe next quarter. While a lot of folks are still recovering from the last wave of cuts or staring at empty calendars, people here are shipping product and getting paid to do it.

If you're tired of the chaos and want a place that values the people building the software, Teradata is worth a look.

From Simply Wall St:

Over the past five years, revenues have declined around 3.0% annually. Worse, forecasts are essentially predicting the decline to accelerate, with the estimate for an annualised 5.1% decline in revenue until the end of 2026. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 17% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while it does have declining revenues, the analysts also expect Teradata to suffer worse than the wider industry.

Teradata’s stock is down 50% since I left 5 years ago. You’d have to paint the whole pig in lipstick to cover that truth.

Hahahaha. Keep hallucinating.

Snowflake’s recent AI focused announcements are landing against a very strong run in the stock, with a 30 day share price return of 26.41% and a 90 day share price return of 118.15%, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 72.37% points to momentum that has been building across both recent months and the longer term.

Then there’s Teradud. In an exploding market. The Radio Shack of AI.

@h3 Absolutely. Share the Fortune 500 customers using Teradata and what are the order totals. Seems like an easy ask for the leader in data warehousing.

@OP

Define "shipping product".
To which accounts and what's the booked revenue/ARR?

Good with that.

I see “IHeartVantage” decided to change his name to “NotOnTheChoppingBlock.” He’s not on the chopping block because he’s too busy kissing sumeet’s a-s. Spread those cheeks wide, you’re about to get wrecked. No lube for you
