Emily Chang of Bloomberg Interviews Sundar Pichai of Google on a tough pitch!

Google founder Sergey Brin returns (after he left in 2018) to Google and has started coding! And this is an exciting time for Google, especially when, competition from the US's tech valleys to China has taken a huge lead over it.

Sundar Pichai is in the grooves and rightly quoted Andy Grove; "Only The Paranoid Survive!"
This is the best 20 minutes that I have ever spent on YouTube...
I strongly recommend you watch it.
Brilliant interviewing by Emily Chang. Thanks for teaching me the art of conversational interviewing. Leaving no uncomfortable questions for tomorrow, as they needed an answer from the CEO. Thanks again.
Some of the key questions were around the areas as listed below-
The Gemini AI's picture fiasco
Nadella pokes a joke at Google's AI lead and Google playing to their (Open AI+ Microsoft) tune
Social media critical comments on Google's leadership and even legality of doing business (la antitrust suits)
China taking the lead in AI will intimidate Google?
Why did Google fire its staff who protested for doing business with Israel?
Why so many layoff sprints at Google?
Is LLM technology hearing a plateau?

Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation.

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular!

Tech Recruiting in the AI Era: How LLMs Are Transforming Sourcing and Screening

Recruiting for technology roles has always been a high-stakes game. If sourcing and screening go well, recruiting wins; if not, it’s a black hole. These two functions are the backbone of hiring—everything else is communication. But in the age of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) , the rules have changed. The Old Way: Conventional Tech Recruiting For decades, recruiters relied on: Boolean searches on job boards and LinkedIn. ATS keyword matching for skills and experience.
