      It’s a bad, bad time to be looking for most tech jobs–but you already knew that. Sigh.

      With LLM only getting better and better the market is going to continue to be abysmal, especially for anyone working on frontend. I would be surprised if we have even half of the number of programming jobs we have today in 10 years. We’re a dying breed, and one day will just be a niche. Meanwhile more and more non-tech workers today are going to become “AI” orchestrators.

      Compared to pre-covid numbers, no. of Healthcare jobs has actually gone up.

      That’s why I stay on a physical side of IT. You can ai the software as much as you want at the end of the day, someone has to plug something in.

      This has been probably brewing since 2018 when every bootcamp started pumping out „data scientists“ after it became the hot job. The GenAI impact is real but misunderstood; it’s not replacing analysts, it’s making basic SQL queries and dashboards accessible to non-technical users, which kills demand for entry-level roles while companies still need senior people who understand experimental design and can translate business problems. There’s no shortage of people with Python certificates, but there’s still demand for folks with actual statistical chops and domain expertise.

      I’m so glad I got out of the terminal 6 years ago but remained in tech. There’s no money or time left in being a coder or systems person anymore. Should’ve moved into sales or operations when you had the chance. The most successful people still in tech all stopped doing the “sitting at desk pounding keyboard” method in favor for building work relationships and alliances and moved laterally or up into sales, projects, finance, etc.

      I’ll be downvoted for this I’m sure but it’s literally back to 2020 levels because the industry was so bloated from 2022 to now.

      When seniors need 6-9 months of linkedin browsing to reach a 3rd round interview .. and get the honor of being ghosted after ..

      Also : salaries are actually going down. The glut of candidates on postings is just out of this world. I don’t get how there would be a new „Tech boom“ to absorb all of these people on the sidelines of the market.

      AI is really good at python. If you do python as a core part of your job, the writing is on the wall. Seriously

      Meh. I have a role at a tech company and I’ve seen no difference in the number of recruiters making offers on linkdn

      But I swear every “senior level and above software engineer” in this sub is claiming they are doing just fine.

      Well, this article misses the fact that many R&D tech jobs have to be amortized instead of deducted in the USA. This coupled with uncertainty in market from shifting political policy has had a cooling effect on investment.

      I personally think AI is being used as a smoke screen to do layoffs without signaling softer earnings.

      Unsure how anecdotal this is: I work as an electro-mechanical technician in industrial environments maintaining factory equipment. After a life transition at the start of the year I had to find a new job, which took 4 months and 50-100 applications per week.

      I’ve never experienced this much competition for roles in my field. Companies were offering lower wages for the same positions I had applied to a few years prior, I had multiple different 3-5 round interviews with no luck. I even had a company offering $10 under the normal rates that wanted to do a 5 hour competitive group interview with around 20 people, that would then lead to another 2-3 interviews if selected. I could have easily made more working a food service job or really anything else in my area.

      My takeaway is that the tech layoffs have caused a lot of technically skilled folk to transition from soft to hard skill jobs, ie coders picking up tools. I know a bunch of techs who had worked up and out of technician work into more specialized fields (chemical manufacturing, controls, management, etc) that had to return to lower skilled technician work due to the job market competition.

      What this fails to mention is that ALL job postings are going down.

      This isn’t because of AI. Its because the US is technically in a recession, and the only thing propping up the economy is a circular chain of AI investments. Companies are simply putting in place recession policies, such as hiring caps, layoffs, and reduced spending.

      no surprise. data and analytics was a fad. successful initiatives and adoption of data platforms still remained around 20%, which has been a flat line since pretty much the invention of „business intelligence“. even i fell for it and left my developer roots for it. most of us shouldn’t be here.

      I’m 52 programmer and seems I got lucky with getting into the career 30 years ago. Just holding my current job until I can’t take it anymore. After that who knows.
