The reckoning is here. Once a safe harbor, Big Tech has finally also gone full out on layoffs. Is this a structural shift to employment in Tech? Will the subsequent talent spillover be great for start-ups and entrepreneurship? Will it positively affect other industries?In this episode of Tech Deciphered, we will answer these and other questions in a deep discussion on the Global Tech Labor reset.Navigation:Intro (01:34)Layoffs & RestructuringShifts in Compensation & PerksRise of Fractional, Freelance, and Solopreneur WorkTalent Spillover to Other SectorsGeography & Culture ShiftsConclusionOur co-hosts:Bertrand Schmitt, Entrepreneur in Residence at Red River West, co-founder of App Annie / Data.ai, business angel, advisor to startups and VC funds, @bschmittNuno Goncalves Pedro, Investor, Managing Partner, Founder at Chamaeleon, @ngpedroOur show: Tech DECIPHERED brings you the Entrepreneur and Investor views on Big Tech, VC and Start-up news, opinion pieces and research. We decipher their meaning, and add inside knowledge and context. Being nerds, we also discuss the latest gadgets and pop culture news Subscribe To Our Podcast Nuno Goncalves PedroWelcome to Episode 66 of Tech DECIPHERED. Today, we'll talk about the global labour tech reset. Tech and big tech, which seemed immune to any lay-offs, seems now to be under fire. Massive lay-offs over the last 2.5 years, a lot of discussion around the importance of having a computer science, computer engineering background, and so what seemed to be a safe haven for any graduate is now under stress.  Today, we will discuss the structural perspective on what's happening in the market, if this is a long-term trend or not, what has led us to this, and what is next. We'll talk about the rise of fractional freelance and solopreneur work, as well as talk about talent spillovers, and some of the usual geographical dynamics around the space. Bertrand, a huge shift in tech. Bertrand SchmittYes, definitely. It's pretty big. I think it started probably around 2022, once we got some changing interest rates that have a pretty massive impact in stock prices for a lot of companies. At that time, a lot of companies decided, and usually under some pressure, that it was time to be more efficient, to generate more cash. Yes, you want to grow, but not grow at all cost. You have to go efficiently.  That's when we started to see some share price going down and step by step, quarter after quarter. Some change in attitude with a lot of big tech and that has created some impact in term of lay-off from different parts of the business, from the sales team to the DNA, to even engineering R&D.  What is also been happening since 2022, 2023 is a change of focus. A lot of focus is being put in AI. A lot of investment in CapEx is going to AI. At some point, if you want to keep doing all this investing, investments, you might have to get some other part of the business in order to create additional savings to do all the spend you can in AI. There has been more recently a switch. It's not about just efficiency to push all the… But generating the ability to invest in AI. Nuno Goncalves PedroIt's part of a broader movement. Before we step back a little bit and go back in history, even recently, we've heard that there's talks between Meta and a bunch of private equity firms like KKR, Brookfield, Apollo, and others, to actually help in financing data centers. Meta is a gigantic company, so one would assume they have cash to do all these things. Maybe they don't.  To your point, that level of efficiency that is now needed in the market where you need to throw actual money, CapEx, into the building of infrastructure, the building of the core underpins of what you're doing is pretty vital. But let's go back a little bit of a second, and we've talked about it maybe in our early episodes.  Companies like Meta, Facebook back in the day, Google, Alphabet now,

Rediffusion d'un des épisodes les plus écoutés du Podcast du MarketingIl m'arrive parfois d'avoir un moment de doute. Ca vous arrive peut être à vous aussi.En général, ça m'arrive quand je lance un gros projet.

THE ROADS LESS TRAVELED—Much of travel media comes with a kind of sheen to it. A gloss. Whether you are traveling Italy with a hungry celebrity or cruising Alaska in the pages of a magazine, the photos are big and Photoshopped, the text kind of breathless. And while Afar has plenty of both, it just feels a bit different. It is not a magazine that puts a focus on consumption but on feeling. On the experience of travel.Julia Cosgrove has been atop Afar's masthead from the beginning. She comes from a magazine and journalism family. And despite their warnings about the industry, she joined the family business anyway because what kid listens to their parents? When the founders of Afar Media plucked her out of ReadyMade magazine and told her that no other travel magazine felt experiential to them, she understood and joined the team.Travel media has changed a lot over the years. One has to ask what moves a media consumer more: a magazine article about a beach in Croatia or the TikToks of numerous influencers on that same beach, extolling its virtues, reaching their millions of fans?Afar doesn't care. Because it believes in its mission and marches on, now in its 15th year, inviting its readers to experience the world, by diving in.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Pennsylvania's regulations around alcohol are complicated, but Trump's tariffs are adding another hurdle for all the good folks selling us our drinks.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Ann Pearson shares essential advice for paralegals considering the leap into freelance work. She underscores the importance of building a strong foundation first, highlighting why paralegals with fewer than five years of experience may not yet have the reputation or client base needed to thrive independently. Ann also explores common misconceptions about freelance work, warning against using it as a fallback when salaried roles are scarce. From losing benefits to navigating the saturated market of overseas competitors, she lays out the real challenges of going solo. Tune in for a grounded, practical perspective on whether freelancing is the right next step for your legal career. Key Takeaways: Freelance work requires a strong professional reputation and client base, often difficult for those with less than five years' experience to achieve. Consider the long-term benefits and career stability of traditional employment, such as retirement contributions and health insurance. The competitive field now includes foreign freelance paralegal firms offering lower rates, impacting local pricing. Operating a freelance business entails financial costs and logistical challenges that can impact profitability. Building a career within an organization first can lead to greater initial financial security and professional growth.

Do you love the law but find yourself questioning traditional practice models?

Whether you're considering freelance lawyering yourself or looking to hire freelance support for your practice, this episode provides a comprehensive look at this growing alternative to traditional legal careers.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/217

Intégrer une marge dans ses tarifs ? Pas évident, surtout au début, quand on a peur d'être “trop cher”.

Il m'a expliqué qu'au départ, il fixait ses prix uniquement à partir de son TJM et du temps estimé pour chaque mission. Mais il s'est vite rendu compte qu'il lui manquait un truc essentiel : la marge. Parce que facturer juste pour se rémunérer, c'est pas suffisant quand on veut développer une activité pérenne.

GOOD TROUBLE—Troublemakers is a magazine about society's misfits. At least from the Japanese point of view. A bilingual, English/Japanese magazine, Troublemakers came about as a way to showcase people who were different, who stayed true to themselves, or about the long road those people had taken to self-acceptance.The founders, editor Yuto Miyamoto and art director Manami Inoue, were inspired by a notion that Japanese culture perhaps did not value those who strayed too far from the herd.The magazine has been a success not just in Japan but globally, and perhaps mirrors a trend we see in streaming, for example, of a general public acceptance of universal stories from different places—gengo nanté kinishee ni. Think, especially, of the success of Japanese television and movies like Shogun or Tokyo Vice or Godzilla Minus One. Of Japanese Pop and anime and food. It's an endless list.But Troublemakers is more than just a cultural document. It is proof of something shared, a commonality of human experience that exists everywhere. Speaking to Yuto and Manami, you sense a desire—and an invitation—to connect. With everyone. And that's, ultimately, what Troublemakers tries to do.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette  welcomes Felix Arntz, a senior software engineer at Google, about his decade of contributions to the WordPress community. Felix shares insights on effective communication, persistence, and attention to detail in open-source collaboration. He highlights the importance of building relationships, learning from others, and embracing the welcoming nature of the WordPress community. The episode also introduces Felix's new "View Transitions" plugin, designed to enhance user experience. Listeners are encouraged to engage, contribute, and build connections within the WordPress ecosystem.Top Takeaways:Attention to Detail Is a Key Marker of ProfessionalismFelix and Michelle emphasized that small details—like capitalizing the "P" in WordPress—may seem trivial but are taken seriously by seasoned professionals. This attention to detail reflects pride in one's work and often becomes a litmus test for developers and marketers alike when assessing quality and seriousness.Thinking at Scale and Growing Gradually Are Crucial in Open Source Contribution: Felix discussed the importance of thinking at scale, especially when contributing to WordPress core. A feature might work well for a blog with 80 posts but break down on a site with tens of thousands. Additionally, contributors are encouraged to increase scope gradually, starting with bug fixes, so they can build trust, demonstrate commitment, and avoid burnout or disappointment when larger proposals stall.Personal Motivation Can Guide Your Niche in Open Source Work: Felix shared how his contributions to WordPress core initially grew out of real-world problems he encountered during freelance work. This insight reinforces the idea that contributors should follow their authentic interests and pain points when selecting where to focus their energy, making their efforts more sustainable and impactful.Relationships and Community Are the Heart of the WordPress Project: Michelle and Felix agreed that building personal relationships—whether at WordCamps, online, or through collaborative work—is not just rewarding personally, but also essential for project momentum. Felix shared how meeting someone briefly in person changes how online collaboration feels. Michelle told a moving story about how her community connections helped her navigate an inaccessible travel situation, underscoring the tangible power of WordPress friendships.Mentioned in the Show:This Week in WordPressFelix-Arntz.me
