I help take control over their careers and job search. People seem to like what I say on YouTube. (alifeafterlayoff)

This is frightening. Terminator is a reality.

They made an AI robot out of liquid.
It can split, merge, reform… thanks for the nightmare fuel guys.

Somehow I got on the side of the algorithm of AI taking over the world in the next 18 months. We are either all screwed, or I need to retrain my feed.

Big cuts because of AI…and now cutting AI roles. It’s as if these companies are realizing AI isn’t all it’s sold to be.

CEO Marc Benioff's Salesforce trims workforce amidst leadership changes, letting go of roles in marketing, data, and AI. bit.ly/4trRj3s

If you’ve built a career in #SaaS, you may want to think of diversifying to other industries.

🦔 Satya Nadella is describing what he sees as the death of traditional SaaS. Instead of software applications with built-in business logic, he's pitching a future where AI agents handle the logic and apps become thin interfaces on top. "Your business logic in our AI" is how he frames it.
My Take
I watched this a few times and I'm still not sure he knows what he's describing. He's talking about replacing deterministic code with non-deterministic AI agents for core business functions. The same AI that hallucinates, gives different answers to the same question, and can't reliably count the letters in a word.
Think about what he's proposing. Instead of code that runs billions of calculations per second on hardware you own for almost nothing, you route everything through an LLM that costs per token, runs slower, and might hallucinate your quarterly revenue. Your business logic locked inside Microsoft's AI layer, paying by usage, with no guarantee it gives you the same answer twice.
This feels like a CEO who spent $80 billion on AI infrastructure and now needs to convince everyone that every part of the business should run through it to justify the spend. Only 3.3% of Microsoft 365 users pay for Copilot. The stock is down 23% since earnings. He just hired a "quality czar" because the products are falling apart. And his pitch is to put your financial calculations and compliance logic inside an AI that
might disagree with itself tomorrow. I don't think accountants or regulators are going to love that.

It’s probably no advisable to quit a stable career to pivot into coding anymore.

Is this the worst society has ever been?
Not even close. I'd just like to remind everyone that no matter how bad things seem right now, these guys had to deal with a great depression and dying on a beach in Normandy.
Perspective matters.

I’m starting to wonder if the AI imposition, coupled with the visa fraud and rampant offshoring of jobs is planned on purpose to get people to demand the ultimate control system- UBI and central digital currency.

When you tell me your previous salary during salary negotiations, guess what gets submitted?

The job market is brutal right now.
You're competing against layoff victims, underemployed people, and the spray-and-pray crowd sending 500 apps a day.
Employers are ridiculously picky because they can be.
Here's what actually works:
1/ Focus on roles you actually, ya know...fit.
Employers want 85-90% matches. Stop wasting time on jobs where you're "taking your shot".
2/ Customize your resume.
I know you don't want to hear it. But generic resumes get ignored.
Use AI if it helps. But make sure your experience is actually yours.
3/ Stop overthinking format.
1 page? 2 pages? Doesn't matter.
Delete anything that doesn't prove you're the right fit.
4/ Apply EARLY.
Recruiters screen from day one and form their list of 5 initial candidates ASAP. Set alerts. Be early.
5/ Network at the same time
Find the recruiter on LinkedIn. Introduce yourself.
Takes 60 seconds and gives you another opportunity to be seen.
6/ Quality over quantity.
Mass-applying burns you out and makes you sloppy.
Focused effort beats volume every time. (unless you like rejection letters)
7/ Stick to 2-3 job boards max.
LinkedIn. Indeed, for hourly. Maybe one industry board.
Recruiters aren't on weird niche sites. It's just wasting time.
8/ Don't obsess all day.
Spend a few hours applying and networking.
Then build something. Learn. Work on a side project.
Stay sane and find balance.
9/ Build alternative income.
It's protection and leverage at the same time.
And hiring managers smell desperation.
10/ Do what your competition won't.
Thank you notes. Follow-ups. Polished resume.
If you saw how lazy your competition is, you'd realize it doesn't take much to stand out.
This market is unforgiving.
Forget the stupid gimmicks...recruiters see right through them.
What's working for you? Reply and let me know.

With the massive layoffs in Amazon, UPS and Dow, this is a perfect time to remind you that if you let someone else drive your career, they'll drive it into a wall.
Take control back from employers and become the CEO of your career. (or get laid off, probably a bunch of times)

Silver nearly hit $120 today. Historic storms over much of the US. The world is crumbling before our eyes.
Just waiting for the final piece of the puzzle to fall into place.

#Meta layoffs are here. These were a giant miscalculation by their leadership team, who bet big on the Metaverse, which never panned out. Funny how the little guy always catches the fallout.

That feeling when someone asks you for free coaching because they “can’t afford it”…
…while I’ve already posted 1,000 free videos and articles that answer their question 100x over.
You're not willing to do the work, but you want me to do more for you.

Remember, one bad job can derail a promising career. Assess those companies before your #jobinterview.

iPhones made everyone a photographer.
Claude AI made everyone a coder.
Suno is making everyone a musician.
The barrier to entry has been lowered for just about every skill.
You have to find a way to be original and differentiate. Being good isn’t good enough anymore.

Sage advice. You cannot complain about how unfair the job market is and also not do anything to decouple your reliance on it.

It’s okay to quit a job you just accepted if a better one comes your way. Just make sure you have career strategy and aren’t winging it or you could find yourself in trouble. #careertok #careeradvice #jobsearch #quittingmyjob
