Yes, but - one thing I'd like from big tech is a job as a software developer. My job was eliminated (with my health insurance for my family) in the great tech layoffs of 4th quarter 2022.
Being an American, the loss of health insurance really stings. My wife and I both had to cancel routine appointments. I was offered COBRA, at ~$2600 per month, but with zero-point-zero income that was a no-go.
