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.

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 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.

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 have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
