I think an impending goal for everyone should be to have some type of side hustle, gig / way of making money independent of physically working at a corporation post 2030.
A priority should definitely be contributing to rainy day funds.

So after they've taken so much that they force everyone into parallel decentralized economies... what do you think they will do to try to force us back?
These rich folks etc don't realize the scraps they give us is the only thing stopping mass protests and revolutions. When people have no money , can't buy food nowhere to live what do think is going to happen?
Ai went from something to help to now companies thinking they can get rid of everyone and just have more profits for themselves.
I was in Bali last year, and a popular app, that’s a mix of DoorDash and uber, had so many bugs I can’t help but think about their backend standards. Like how could an app be allowed to come to production.
I was like damn, if they hire me, I’d fix half the problems with the app
Companies only fix bugs once found by Pentest team or a Hacker. Everything goes straight into Production.I was in Bali last year, and a popular app, that’s a mix of DoorDash and uber, had so many bugs I can’t help but think about their backend standards.

The public wouldn't believe the amount of cyber breaches caused by overseas coders. Management quietly sweeps it under the rug and pretends it never happened.

Crowdstrike incident was a shining example of that.
That’s why you need QA.
SWE team should not be doing QA outside of Unit/Integration testing, there should be dedicated QA teams protecting the back layer.
These overseas teams only prioritize speed over everything. That's all management cares about. I haven't worked at a company in years that still employed QA people.
I don't have much to add to this thread, but I want to address this notion in the bold.
This is a common mindset in IT that i think might also be contributing to layoffs.
"Those guys are sitting around doing nothing." When the IT infrastructure/environment/program or what have you is up and running smoothly."
Then when it's issues "Those guys are sitting around doing nothing."
shyt is a lose, lose situation in some workplaces. Mfers think if you sit at a computer for living you ain't working. Work to them is like construction or some shyt.
That's all i have to say.
In my experience management doesn't really care how or if the work gets done. I've seen them layoff entire IT teams immediately after they complete a huge project rollout. They know how many hours it took, issues encountered etc. They just don't care because some bean counter says it's cheaper to outsource this team.

My job is landing a former CISO 
that's how you know the job market is terrible. I am positive he will not last long if something else falls on his lap. The company is growing despite not being the best if you want work life balance especially due to the amount of traveling involved.

These colleges want to keep the pipeline open to International students since they pay full tuition.
