Global trends show many IT companies reducing SDE3 and Senior Engineer positions as productivity grows with Copilot and other AI tools. Freshers cost less and top level architects are still needed, so the middle layer is taking most of the impact.

Verizon seems to be moving in a similar direction since several onshore Senior Engineer and SDE3 roles were already cut, which has raised concerns about the stability of mid layer tech positions.

What's your take for 4 December?

Remove the ADs and SMs — the actual work is done by the SDEs. These roles mostly conduct meetings and forward information to higher management, which doesn’t justify their existence. A Senior Engineer or Tech Lead could handle this easily. Verizon seems completely clueless.

Principle engineer does role of team lead in max teams, in Verizon I don't see difference in work of SDE2, SDE3 and senior consultant despite of huge pay gap.

Might be. I think few middle managers might be too.

So we are guessing away our career at this point. Ok I think it's mostly going to be people managers - ADs, Sr Managers & directors. Within Band 7 & 8, it is going to be 1 or 2 low performers under every AD.

Post from LinkedIn shows SDE 2 people also removed in onshore in this reduction 🙄

What about people managers and ADs were there’s lot of stagnated.

Think about we have a AD for PMOs and Director for HRs who simply add no value

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?
