literally everyone wants to be SWE, big tech inflating the salaries. Nobody wants to be consultants, bankers, PMs. Go look at or social media, look at how over glorified it is. "Day in the life of a software engineer" look at how many of these videos, and how many views it garnered compared to other occupations.

Some of my juniors who applied for Shopee internship got their offers rescinded like 1-2 weeks ago.

I got a few more working there as full-time PM and SWEs, 1 year+, so far no news for them but yeah they are laying people off, mostly non-tech related people though from what my friends told me.

Knew the company was sketchy tbh, they toss millions into their marketing and for what? 0 moderation on what's being sold on their site, a ton of fake products, bogus products, refunding is a pain in the ass, etc.

Upload a image / video with your review and get more shopee points, literally half the reviews I see are just random pictures and ******** videos by morons who have not even received their product yet. No idea who's even moderating this crap.

Anyway every company is in the red and will probably start laying people off soon. The only safe companies are mostly banks and SAAS / Fintech companies... reason I say that is because they have been around for many decades and their stock valuations didn't change much in the past 6 months... compared to say SEA stocks where they lost 60+% in the past 6 months.

Fresh grads who join risky companies to earn huge, I think that's ok tbh, they are freshers anyway. Go earn that 200-600k a year fast, get fired then join a stable company. You got plenty of time and assuming 0 family responsibility + parents money.

Your advice doesn't check out. Shopee people doesn't earn anywhere close to 200k a year. The ones that earn 200-600k a year (ie. IBD/PE/HF/Prop trading) are not risky at all and in fact pretty cushiony job.

Pretty ridiculous that these tech folks like to CSB their payscale even in this climate when they're cutting tech roles left right centre.

As someone said ITT way back, everytime an industry is hot, lots of CSB stories come out of the woodwork.

Sure, Shopee may pay above median starting graduate salaries, but 200-600k is ridiculous hyperbole. No wonder there's so much schadenfreude about these layoffs. At the very least, it will rein in some of these bull shiatters.

Hahaha 'day in the life of an SWE' videos are the dumbest thing ever. It's literally one of the most boring jobs n they're trying to snazz it up.

And worse still, they're almost always in those obnoxious tiktok formats, because i guess they support their own products.

90% of these videos r about everything except showing the codemonkey sitting at their desk writing code for some frivolous product. I would literally prefer to watch 'day in the life of an accountant' or 'day in the life of a banker' cos there's probably more interesting commercial-facing aspects.
