hmmmm, seems like everyone’s getting fucked regardless then. I’m working on next gen MI stuff and it’s pretty hard to even get a req right now. Management hasn’t mentioned the whole “strategic priorities” thing to us, probably because if we’re not a priority, then who is? AMD didn’t really do a lot of firing before now, at least not that I’m aware of, so maybe this is how they’re explaining it

as someone who works at AMD and on AI, this is only kinda true. While we’re not as affected by layoffs, AMD has been extremely stingy with budget this year. Maybe that will change in the coming months though

very strange to see someone say thay AMD pays better. we have a lot of attrition on our team because most competitors pay better. As for culture, it’s ok. I’m senior enough that I can do whatever I want now. We do use a lot of in house tools that suck ass, but we seem to be moving towards standardisation. I’m hopeful that this trend continues. Idk if I would recommend AMD, but I have no idea what kind of work you do and what team might hire you. Wish you the best either way

as someone that does work there (not laid off thankfully), I gotta ask, why?
