Big Tech is panicking.

Google brought back whiteboards.
OpenAI is testing how well you understand AI.
Amazon is rejecting people for being too good at coding.

I spent 3 months talking to hiring managers and Interview Query users to figure out what's actually happening inside tech interviews in 2025.

And if you're preparing for interviews at companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, or startups that test how well you work with AI, check out Interview Query. We've got real questions, AI-powered mocks, and up-to-date prep based on what companies are asking right now.

Big Tech used to be the dream job.
Free meals. Unlimited PTO. Office slides. Work-life balance.
Now? It’s starting to feel like Wall Street with better Wi-Fi.

In my latest video, I break down how tech culture morphed from “chill and cushy” to “grind and survive”, and why AI, layoffs, and golden handcuffs are all part of the story.

I asked an AI engineer at a $10B startup how often he uses PyTorch…

His answer?

“What’s PyTorch?”

That’s when it hit me:
Being an AI engineer in 2025 looks nothing like what we imagined.

❌ No PhD
❌ No model training from scratch
✅ Just knowing how to work with LLMs to build real products

I sat down with Nikhil from Perplexity to break down: – What AI engineers actually do
– How he pivoted from full-stack to AI
– And why this role is suddenly everywhere

What do you think—are all devs going to be AI engineers soon?
