Is it just product support or are other areas of tech noticing the trend where it doesn't seem like companies want to train whatsoever. A lot of job descriptions are basically summarized as "we are fast-paced, get in here and figure it out on your own. And we expect you to be able to do so within 30 days of self paced learning". Salaries are decreasing and employer contribution is much lower. I feel this is the reason we are seeing such short tenured positions. Not a set of for success.

This is the current state of the industry thanks to all the AI cutbacks. They want you to do more with less, and for less. And if you don't like it, there's 1000 other people who would love to have your job.

So true, really sad.

Training stopped years ago. They would rather hire someone into a role than training and grow an employee. When your execs only care about the most recent quarterly financials, short term thinking like this is expected.

You're being overly altruistic. They don't want to train because it's an expense and with layoffs as the new excuse for absolutely everything, they can replace employees lacking skills they desire with a substandard severance package.

This is applicable to consulting too

It's really sad, it's like they're trying to pinch everything they can.

This has been a trend for decades. Sorry you're just now becoming aware of it. Companies have always wanted someone with a degree or certificate less than a year old or 10 years of experience doing exactly what the position is. All my professional life it's been this way. It's basically related to the fact we are paid less while production is greater and greater each year. The corporate bottom line matters more than anything else.

I hear a lot about cash flow with rental properties but would appreciate thoughts on whether breaking even after accounting for mortgage (interest and insurance included) as well as % set aside for repairs, vacancy, etc. is a decent strategy for building a portfolio. Alternative is wait for rates to come down, but that could easily be a few years at this point. If I find a good deal, I can always refinance my mortgage when rates drop and theoretically rental income will have increased by then.
