Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

CA needs to step down, Q needs a heroic CEO like Microsoft’s Satya Nadella

Nadella saved Microsoft and turned it into a 4T company.

Isn’t it simple? Q has majority R&D and hard work done in India. Q is better off with an Indian CEO like other major tech companies

Closest comparison to q is broadcom, both are b2b companies with hardware focus. (Yes, nvidia's now more b2b than b2c, but it started out as b2c) As a b2b company, where's the next significant growth coming from? Q is either competing with broadcom or nvidia or samsung or huawei. Long term prospects aren't great.

@1k3 you realize comm-theory's been very close to shanon limit for like 20 years now, going from 95% to 96% of shannon limit is expensive and ROI is close to 0. It's all about implementation and 20 years is enough for everyone to catch up...

The biggest mistake of Q is to make a heavy investment in India and to treat the modem business as a commodity. It will accelerate the loss of main business of Q sooner.

Qualcomm definitely needs an Indian CEO to save this sinking ship! Look at Microsoft Cadence Google, and Apple will have an Indian CEO soon

Wrong, Q needs Jessen Huang, who ki-ls all politics. Constant reorg every two years. Any ORG gets completely dissolved if the revenue target is not met. then, the VP can become a senior eng in days...BTW, there is no layoff in N.

Yes Qualcomm is the rare case among big tech without an Indian CEO, given the fact that majority R&D were done in India.
