Creh says that tech jobs are over

[BaggerofTea]

LMAOOO the trollish TechLead.

Well tech ain't what it used to be. You're not gonna just make 100k coasting in tech.

I'd recommend anyone getting into tech now go into cybersecurity tho.

cyber security has 1 to maybe 2 years tops.

much of the low level operations work can be ai'd

even risk, identify access management can be ai''d pretty quickly


Im able to run a search on a siem via ai, incorporate enrichment via outside scripts then use the llm to render a decision on whether its a true or false positive based off of the search results and enrichment provided

Its going to be critical learning this technology and riding the wave

iam and risk management can all be managed via AI

I've heard that were accelerating outsourcing to India though. As well as junior level roles being replaced by AI

Large companies where it’s really about maintaining legacy software or small upgrades, yea. But places that are still heavily building new products, no

Remote work unless you are in the top 99th percentile will be difficult to come across.

100+ jobs just in the nyc area alone for data engineer

https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=data+engineer&l=New+York%2C+NY&from=searchOnDesktopSerp&vjk=8e89aca87c11b99c

I get that but can't they just get Indians or mexicans/argentinians to do it? I've been hearing chapter about teams bringing in engineers from those countries specifically

 

[O.Red]

Can't those be done vietually and won't they just hire Indians to do it?

Yes but the huge blind spot people miss about "Just get Indians to do it" is the Indians make these these things so sloppily and inefficient that it takes another team in America 6 months-3 years to fix the Indian's messes. That's the real hustle that none talks about

This is also the reason all of these once competent apps and programs are dogshyt now

Please don’t give me these generic platitudes. Headcounts have been cut and expected productivity is up. This ain’t about how fast you can work, it’s about increased workloads. Most my jobs, most people did close to no work on Fridays. The past 3 years, Fridays been as loaded as a random Monday. Workloads used to be light when everyone over hired, they are now “normal” to 2-3x

Read the rest of my post made some edits. The increased workloads depend on the company as I said. It's about the push to produce profit right now rather than focus on growth.
It's not generic platitudes it's the truth.The economy is tight for working class and companies are exploiting that by under hiring knowing people need to work as well. Savings are dried up

I see. Makes a lot of sense. And yeah I also heard that you're going to need people who make synthetic data yo train the models as well as engineers to prevent data poisoning

I dont deal in negatives bro, thats none of my worry

Do your work in tech or have the interest?

Computer engineering major. Final year. Looking to work at CISA or somewhere similar (cyber security) but I'm seeing so many new blacks on Twitter telling everyone to flock to govtech to the point where I'm thinking about doing something else (to avoid dealing with oversaturation)

So basically what I said. The days of having an over paid job for little effort are gone - for now

I would say IT too, but it's overcrowded and that side is also dealing with cuts.

I'll also say that the fear of my job being outsourced is the reason why I switched to tech sales / presales. I'd advise high level SREs and Developers to consider finding a sales engineer role.

Which wpuld you recommend. Threat hunting or incident response ? Yeah I've been looking at cyber but so many people are spamming it on reddit that I'm worried that by the time I graduated (Spring 2025) it'll be saturated

Yep never was little effort tho. Just not enough for people to do. That's pandemic era shyt tho. Prepandemic was a nice balance between that and what we got now

The outsourcing will stop when the companies realize the Indians are fukkin up shyt cuz the language and communication barriers. They only doing this to cut costs in the meantime. There's a cycle in tech where every so often companies will try to outsource everything and up with a fukked up product and have to hire onshore devs 10x the cost to fix what they could've paid originally to get it right
