Headline of the article is techno-babble. Recession fears=tightening job market=people staying put=lower attrition=layoffs

Careful about making assumptions and believing corporate explanations. AI is saving me time and it’s a great tool. It will likely cost jobs because people can be more efficient. The last two job cuts accounted for a little less than 5% of the workforce. Do you really think that’s because of AI?

It is very plausible there was a recent article on a company who’s AI agents now account for the work load of 20% of its generated income at a CTC of about 35k a year

You can fly to India and apply. They are hiring.

The article is missing one key point. AI helped drive who to layoff. What is AI? Biased.

This is not correct.

This is Clayton Christensen steel mills lecture all over again. The new technology will eventually improve over time, matching or exceeding the old technology’s performance on certain product attributes. You need to compete on a completely different product attribute instead of retreating downstream to what will become an increasingly smaller and smaller pool.

E.g., you need to compete on creating new knowledge instead of competing on being more “sophisticated” at analyzing current knowledge.

Upskill*

Doubtful that’s the full story

You're just reiterating linkedin posts. "Upskilling to AI" won't save your job if it cane be replaced by AI. I just saw an AI app that can just do data analysis. That will take a lot of peoples jobs and won't be replaced by anything. Really think about this stuff instead of just reiterating linkedin buzz articles and posts by people who also don't know what they're talking about and are talking out of their ass to sound intelligent and relevant.

Classic Booz—fire off hot takes without the facts. There are 3-4 other article about this you can probably find without a security clearance. These cuts were a 2% trim in the US, a small first move on the path to realizing value from their $1B investment in OpenAI over the last 3 years. More cuts and changes to who they hire will follow. Upskilling isn’t about staving off replacement, it’s about staying relevant so you can pivot and stay relevant. If you can’t read between the lines in this, good luck over the next 5 years.

I am a Sales Support Engineer (Applications Engineer) with 2 YOE. I am thinking about making a change because my job is no longer challenging, and there isn’t much growth opportunity in my company. I love my team, but I feel like I may need to move on. I am at 70k a year and have been told time and time again that I have learned faster than anyone they have seen and am a top performer. I don’t feel like I am being compensated for that either. Any suggestions on companies and target salaries?

Additional Posts in Consulting

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
