There was a question what is the most desired skill - Les mentioned handling data and AI... So if you dont have this in your past performance, you're cooked.
Technical TL is also mentioned many times plus HR mentioned 2 technical requirements. Looks like we are moving to 90% technical IT only
Well, they not only people who are highly skilled and competent either data, but are also economical and can deliver expediently.
They also have to also want to work for Chevron.
Will be keen to see how that works out.
Actually BK is going to eat his own dog food since ABU is the one that is moving everything to ENGINE, both business and IT.
@ac+1jnmpwwcw BK already moving to Australia becoz he knew the Engine he proposed will be a big fail. It is up to the new "reshuffled" leaders now to make that happen.
Roles in the window repair function seem to be secure…
Tech companies that build enterprise grade applications say that agents are not ready for prime time, yet here we are, selling agents and building agents because somehow LC thinks we are a tech company.
MS CEO says AI isn't yet where it's being exaggerated.. but then when people have no clue about technology they have to follow what everyone else is doing. Just like we followed Azure . Hey let's optimize applications.. !! Talk jargons .. cloud native and all
As I talk to folks from Manila and India, if they are truly amazing there - why do we have tons of expats from Manila in SR and Houston? Why do we have tons of on-site contractors with H1B visa? If you are an amazing talent in India - you're probably in the US, Europe, Australia already in a working visa.
And for the top local talent, let us see if they can truly can pull away legit talent from India or Manila from Microsoft, Google, and other big name companies to go work with an oil company
LC is delusional if he thinks ENGINE is actually going to do AI.
How many of you have been on calls with actual AI vendors, whether startups or a hyperscaler… and the AI people are in India. Yup, none.
This is a high cost geography gig. BK and LC are full on re--rds if they think this is ENGINE work.
Dear DSA employees, your AI leader is a company man and will do whatever LC wants. The future is not as good as you thought it was 5 years ago.
there was a slide that show the future is 40% is in the US and 60% outside... i wonder how many is it right now and LC also mentioned our count is the same
The AI roles aren’t for you. They are for digital scholars who went to MIT to not learn AI.
@a6+1jnmpwwcw Keep dreaming. He claimed they forgot infrastructure and that there would be some, but no way operational/technical roles will be there.
Most of the AI roles are in Houston, but I imagine they’ll all be closed already, just like how that team was selected originally.
check the powerpoint again, AI is in Houston. LC also mentioned Infrastructure (Azure) is also in Houston and he missed putting it there during Q&A
and AI is going to ENGINE so where does that leave US?
I tend to agree with this ----- that said I know just a handful of amazing data gurus who can handle tons of data and deliver using ADF, Synapse, SQL and all....
If they can only show powerpoints and not their ADF pipelines, Synapse probably just high level bozo....
For AI.. .all I see is dog and pony show.... The SR AI show in 2024 by twas just that.. all BS... these guys don't know anything...
So if you are legit technical and has shown leadership, you will be fine! the rest... Bengaluru, etc.

Chevron does not have any technical leads with Tech skills, they have all been de-technicalized, if that is a word.
They need team leads to be translators from engine to Houston
OP Chevron does not have any technical leads with Tech skills, they have all been de-technicalized, if that is a word. They will have to replace all the LT staff, but maybe that's the point. On My!
