He writes, "Google, the beacon of innovation, decides it's a fantastic idea to let go of their entire Python team. Because, obviously, Python is so last season for them. And Tesla, bless their hearts, they've got the whole layoff thing down to an art form. It's like a team-building exercise, but instead of trust falls, you get handed a pink slip. And Atlassian, oh, they're just keeping us on our toes with their hiring and firing at same time."
Overall, he questions the stability offered by these "dream companies" amidst their unpredictable decisions.

He says, "It's like a rollercoaster ride of emotions for those poor students. You know, the ones who thought they had a shot at a future there. But hey, who needs stability when you can have a front-row seat to the circus of corporate decisions?"
Quaint notion of a dream company
Sanket proceeds to challenge the idea of "dream companies."?
He sarcastically remarks, "The term 'dream company.' What a quaint notion. Who needs dreams when you can have profit margins!! Let's all raise a glass to the corporate overlords, because clearly, they've got our best interests at heart. Cheers to uncertainty and disappointment!"
