Huawei faces challenges in producing its chips - it has been cut off from TSMC and China's closest alternative is blocked from purchasing the most advanced chip-making equipment.
Tech positions nowadays are starting to look like regular jobs. Workers are contending with the constant fear of layoffs, longer hours, and increasing responsibilities for the same pay.
