Probably same pay and higher expectations. As a result, fewer actual roles.
I’m sensing the same. Do you work in consulting? Has your role changed?
Same pay and loftier expectations IMO. Companies will be paying less on the whole because AI will allow them to increase productivity without increasing headcount. In theory, anyway.
Are you seeing anything in your industry?
That's a great question, but I have no idea
What industry do you work in Todd?
Agree. Two people used to do my role. One left after 5 or so years, and 2-3 months later, the other one left (also after 5 years), for similar roles but more responsibility at bigger entities. The role got consolidated into one. I don't earn both their pay combined. But I have to do the same amount of work and am expected to leverage AI tools to assist. It's still a lot of work, though, more than one role can reasonably handle.
Worked until 10:45 pm this pas Monday and Tuesday, with 1 hour drive home, and then had to deal with my livestock. Worked until midnight remotely the next two nights and then dealt with my livestock. It is now close to 7 pm on a Friday and still in the office slogging through work to reduce the amount of work I have to do this weekend since I have so many things to take care of at home and errands to run. You tell me: do I sound burned out?
Spoiler alert: yes, I am. I am trying to get enough pay this year to save up, sell my home and things and get my pets, myself, and my partner to Europe (where I have friends and family and have worked before) where there are more labor protections, better work-life balance, and if I get sick or dare ride my horse and fall off an hurt myself, I will not go bankrupt with healthcare costs or lose my job and die in the street destitute. And watch from afar as either a civil war breaks out or the economy collapses while the rich somehow will be spared once again.
