I am in India, junior developer hiring is all down. Ai has reduced offshoring to India and eliminated the need for janitor work (often offloaded to juniors).
Many people are finding it difficult to even land internships.
The most affected areas are sysadmin, devops, and frontend. Where you'll have very hard time getting any offer.
Companies like BrowserStack are withdrawing campus placement offers.
Meanwhile, I am writing apps for my own use and have reached 10,000+ monthly active users already, even though I am making zero money from doing all this, but it's fun.
Looking at the entire market in Europe it is also down but that is not due to "AI" but because they are easiest to fire with least consequences. There is a global recession looming, despite Wall Street saying otherwise.
Europe is easiest to fire? I would've thought the opposite.
depends on the country, i would guess.
but firing because "ai makes us more productive" is basically impossible in most eu countries.
I'm surprised sys-admin hires are down, is AI doing a lot of that as well?
Yah, that comment is odd.
Sysadmins, Devops engineers will the be the last ones replaced by AI. The context window for their problems are huge.
Unless you define Sysadmins and Devops as fiddling with YAML all day, which might be the case here.
>Sysadmins, Devops engineers will the be the last ones replaced by AI.
Most setups aren't properly documented which makes the discovery and exploitability part the major bottleneck when this is facilitated by AI, the sysadmin/devops team is downsized.
