Twitter neither has any job listings on the website nor had clarified the roles it wants to hire for

Twitter is hiring! As if Elon Musk is ordained for it, he is dishing out one surprise at a time. After having laid thousands of Twitter employees after the takeover, now he is on his mission of adding new ones to the Twitter headcount. In a recent review meeting, he reportedly said "significant portions of the technology stack need to be rebuilt from scratch" and added, "will be a good idea to decentralize things by setting up teams in Japan, India, Indonesia, and Brazil." Surprisingly, this statement comes on the same day he fired another bunch from the sales department, including a few senior employees. Twitter neither has any listings mentioned on the website nor had clarified the roles it wants to hire for. "In terms of critical hires, I would say people who are great at writing software are the highest priority," he said during the meeting. Amidst all this uncertainty, other big-tech companies like Microsoft have opened their doors wide open. Certainly, Microsoft job postings are not meant to invite the fired employees, there is every possibility that the fired Twitter employees will find a new home at Microsoft. And now the critical question remains, will the openly 'hard core' work-seeking, #stay@work office culture will find free-thinking and creative-minded employees? Or will it lose them to employee-friendly employers? What are the incentives or rather disincentives in working for Musk-headed Twitter?

Corporate companies to a great extent are profit-oriented and would only give as much as they can take from the employees. One should understand the relationship between a company's long-term and short-term vision and if the employees have a place in it. As of now, Elon Musk outlined compensation benefits that will be offered to the employees who are still with the company. He said, they will be paid in stock options and every once in a while will get a chance to liquidate with the company on the lines of SpaceX. "The way things work at SpaceX to get liquidity is that every six months there's a liquidity event where the company buys back shares and we also invite new investors to buy shares. And we'll be able to operate Twitter in the same way", he told The Verge. Compare this to the ugly side where Elon would yell at his executives and call them at 3 am summoning them to office, as told by Jim Cantrell, one of the top executives who worked with SpaceX. "Nobody was good enough for him; nothing was good enough for him", he says. The future Twitter employees will have a hard choice of finding a trade-off between harsh work culture and attractive monetary benefits. On the other hand, there will always be an alluring temptation to join its rival Microsoft – a company known for promoting work-life balance so that their employees come back with more to give.

Given the treatment Elon has been meting out to the fired and current employees, no well-minded person would consider joining Twitter in the first instance. However, as tech winter is staring sharply at hiring prospects, a few might consider joining Twitter. But, hiring managers and tech experts have a positive take on Twitter's hiring move in India in particular. "Twitter's hiring update in India is good news, especially for Indian engineers," says Sachin Alug, CEO, of NLB Services, a talent solutions firm. "While this development can boost the career growth of engineering talent in India, it can also encourage aspiring engineers to work harder and land good jobs." At another end of the spectrum, experts see beyond the "Microsoft Vs Twitter" battle. They say, people often start employment at Amazon in spite of being aware of its problematic work culture all for sake of getting a good head start and why Twitter would be an exception.
