AI is the single most destructive piece of technology in the history of civilization. It’s essentially creating a new intelligent species smarter than humans, doesn’t eat or sleep and has the ability to “learn” without any human input.

Think I’m playin.

Had a phone Screen Friday recruiter didnt even show up and got a rejection this morning lol
Had a phone screen just now and they were trying to down level me and huge pay cut with barely any equity. The Total comp was less than my base salary in my last role. Dude looked at my resume and was like "yeah man your a Principle Lvl but for this particular role the HM is super strict on no up leveling".

Have a few more screenings this week but sheesh lol, I knew I was going to take a pay cut but this was a good taste of how bad the market is to let me know what I need to do.

Data Engineering - every company has shyt data that you have to transform to make sense of and feed AI. Companies switch systems so often this will always be needed

I ain't never been unemployed this long in my life. It's insane. Even after college transitioning in school, six months, max.
shyt is nuts man. I’ve been hearing ZERO from IT Recruiters, Contract gigs, etc and I just been trying to get lil quick few months deployment project or something :pachaha:

Think its a combo of AI, The interest rates, and this fool with these random ass tariffs. There was like a week last year when the fed was expected to cut rates and I started hearing from a lot of people.

Then they didn’t and that shyt went back to tumbleweeds status :dead:

What certs would one get to get into that?
I guess a cloud cert can help as far as for setting up the architecture. You don't really need to have a cert though. What you really need is knowledge of SQL (most people who say they know SQL don't really know it well) and Python and maybe PySpark. You also need to have domain knowledge in whatever data you're looking at. AI can spit some shyt out that looks reasonable but inherit knowledge would let you know it's not possible. I.e. sales of a newly launched product increasing some rapid factor M/M/M

For SQL, SQLZoo is a great resource.
