I do a lot of consulting in iOS and Android mobile software and related areas including firmware. Occasionally, I've been a Big Tech employee and consider some situations there.
I'm new here and it's interesting, particularly in the comments to articles, to see how the discussion splits between technical issues and the general situation of being some sort of software developer.
I've been an employee at some "Big Tech" companies and particularly enjoyed my time at Nokia. But for myself, I think I've made my biggest contributions working for companies that I had never heard of, often being an early member. Several of these became known for some specialty and were absorbed into some company that you probably would recognize, but still the name of the initial venture remains obscure. Only in one case did the company end up going public and become well known in its industry.
So I'm mostly working on various projects, but I do sometimes get contacted by Big Tech and consider it.
Best to all,
Bruce
