IoT is a new business, short-term loss is to be expected. If you don't invest in new business development projects, when the modem is commodified, you will have nothing left. Then QCOM is also finished, coz you will have no growth left. Very troubling move.

You can't really pan the CE folks! I have worked with a number of them and they were smart and proactive engineers. That's is a very demanding job.

the reduction is to remove the top heavy structure for sure, but main focus is to cut all less profit more expense departments. NO ONE knows the numbers or details, anyone saying otherwise is BS

One Senior Director in IC design said CEs are not even engineers. Some sort of middle man between QCOM engineers and customers. No more easy money!

CE cut makes sense as fruit company will no longer be their modem customer. Start applying at Intel.

I can easily see 25 percent cut for senior staff and above
