Do you think job hunting in tech is ever likely to return to the 2021-2022 "hyper-growth" boom era? It is undergoing a structural transformation toward specialized, AI-focused roles but we continues to see high-volume layoffs, particularly for junior roles, demand for skilled, experienced talent in AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity remains high.

I don't think anyone knows or can predict at this point, but this recent reporting I've seen from several outlets raises an interesting "what if?" - that being what if the current costs of AI does not, in fact, cost less than using human resources. It just all shows that as rapidly as things are changing, no one - including the companies developing it and selling it - really know or can predict the actual outcomes at this point

With automation in the forefront I seriously doubt it. Several big tech CEOs have said that software engineering roles will be obsolete soon. Roles will change, undoubtedly, but if an AI agent can do the work of 10 engineers there will never be the kind of demand there once was. Unless there's an AI bubble crash the tech gold rush is over.

The shift toward specialized roles is clear, and many companies are looking for candidates with strong technical skills. For interview prep, I found valuable resources and real coding questions on prachub.com.

Potentially but it would definitely look different. And if it doesn’t happen intact, it’ll happen in another industry. We just have to keep our eyes open to opportunities in all fields.

I received an offer for 80k to work as a desktop engineer for TCS at one of their client’s locations. However, I have seen poor reviews for working at TCS and I’d like to get some feedback from anyone currently or had previously worked for that company. What is the environment like and has anyone been in a situation where the contract with TCS and the client ended and had trouble with TCS finding them a new role at the same pay?

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday. Excited since this is a hop from a Product Analyst role and entails an offer of over $30,000 from what I'm getting now! This would be a permanent full-time compared to my current contractor role that ends in March.
