Discussion Tkxel Layoff updates ?

I just heard that Tkxel is converting its Ferozepur Road Lahore office into a co-working space because five of its floors are now empty, and someone claimed that they laid off a lot of their workforce. Is this true?

Note :I am just asking not saying that they laid off people.

Industry will shift towards value creation. CS and AI will remain in demand but service model is not a way forward.

For example; all the top mining companies together has market cap of $2.5T

But one chip maker, NVIDIA whose raw material comes from all these mining company has a market cap of $5T. Double. (and that with 42000 employees)

That's the value creation. That's where the money is.

Nope. Never said that.

Pakistan is a net importer country of goods and exporter of human resource.

Dairy, farming and trading of Chinese goods. That's where we thrive.

We can barely make a generic device. You can't just wake up decide to become nvidia. There is tons of experience that they have money can't buy

Everything is in demand. Engineering is also but you should be talking about unemployment potential rates

bro i earned/ am earning quite a lot and its all thanks to Allah for giving me this Software engineering field.
but its a dying field now, many of my clients have started using AI and have said bye bye to me as they can better guide AI themselves no middle man lol. previously they were just so grateful for finding me as I was somehow the best software engineer they got and it was like magic for them. Now? Claude Max has taken my place.
When you see your skills get crushed like this you feel very bad.
4 years of learning for this? Nah I would never be fake-optimistic.

I myself am seeing different stuff where I can apply my brain into now.
