Am I the only one unmoved by the Google Gemini spot?

Lots of heart strings but I'm still not sold on the product and don't feel like the story really tied into a tangible benefit. Like, you can practice interview answers with it, but is it really gonna prepare you that much better than just writing down your answers and reading them to the mirror? Let alone doing that with another human?

I know the people that made this. They were tasked with trying to humanize Gemini after the Olympics disaster. Did they make a lovely ad this go around? Yes they did. Do I think the loveliness actually tied into Gemini as a product? Nope. Can we take this one step further and ask why he needed to be having this ‘conversation’ with Gemini at all? I think they’re hoping we don’t ask that.

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

Hey, guys! Need one suggestion. I'm 2022 btech passout from tier 3 college. My current ctc is 5.5 lpa in Harman , working in an automotive devision with a role of devpr(mostly the work is in c++ and linux). I have a average coding skill. Tho, I'm not very good at competitive programming. How to take a switch in big product based company. What are skill sets i need to learn. I'm really confused! Some says learn full stack. I have to increase my pay from 5.5 to atleast 30 in next 3 yr

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?
